UNC CHARLOTTE FOUNDATION PROPERTY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bunker Land Group, LLC has been engaged to exclusively represent the UNC Charlotte Foundation in
the sale of a ±125.58 acre tract of undeveloped land in Union County, North Carolina (Charlotte MSA).
The property was gifted to the Foundation by Dr. Gage in January, 2005 with restrictions that it could
not be developed for a period of time. This restriction encumbers the property until September 5, 2016.
Any sale prior to September 5, 2016 would be subject to this restriction.
LOCATION
The property is located at the intersection of New Town and Crane Roads within the jurisdiction of Union
County and in the highly desirable Marvin School District. This area of Union County is currently a very
active target acquisition area for numerous homebuilders due to the high income demographics, low
land supply, and excellent schools. Currently, there is a great deal of activity and momentum in this
submarket by builders and developers to acquire developed lots and undeveloped tracts of land.
ZONING
The property is zoned R-40, which allows for a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet. The County Land
Use Ordinance also has a provision for clustering (20,000-square foot minimum). Surrounding the
property to the north, west, and south are predominantly single family subdivisions, also zoned R-40. Lot
sizes for the surrounding subdivisions range from less than 20,000 square feet to large estate lots well
over one acre. Directly adjacent to the property to the east are undeveloped parcels zoned
Residential Conservation District (RCD) by the Town of Weddington. Similar to the Union County R-40
Zoning Classification, minimum lots sizes in the RCD district are 40,000 square feet, unless developed as
a conservation subdivision.
HOUSING MARKET CHARACTERISTICS
We invite your attention to the Metrostudy 2nd Quarter, 2014, Housing Profile in Five Mile Ring Study (pg.
4-7). There are 52 active subdivisions in the study area. Approximately 20 subdivisions have sales activity
from $500,000 up. Most of the remaining neighborhoods have sales activity in the $300,000-$500,000
range. The Total Supply of housing is 5.6 months (6-8 month’s supply is historically considered Equilibrium
for the Charlotte market). The VDL Supply (supply of vacant developed lots) is 12.8 months (24-30
month’s supply is historically considered Equilibrium for the Charlotte market). Finally, the Annual Lots
Delivered compared to Annual Housing Starts indicates a trend of demand exceeding supply. 891 lots
were delivered in the four previous quarters (2nd Qtr. 2013-2nd Qtr. 2014) and 1,323 houses were started
in those same four quarters. Additionally, a Price Range Analysis Report, Future Lot Inventory Report,
and Period Comparison by Housing Type Report are included in the Addendum.
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
The highest and best use of the land is an upscale residential subdivision comparable to other
communities found in the submarket. A Conceptual Site Plan and Limited Risk Assessment- Phase I can
be found in the Addendum.

UNION COUNTY
Union County is located on the Southeastern side of the Charlotte metro area. Once rural and
agricultural in nature, Union County is one of the fastest growing counties in North Carolina and the
United States due to its proximity to Charlotte, its reputation for excellent schools, and available land
for development. The quality location and higher income demographics of this submarket have
attracted a number of national and custom homebuilders. There was significant activity in subdivision
development and homebuilding in this area during the fifteen years prior to the downturn in the
economy. Homebuilding has regained significant momentum in the past twenty-four months.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE
The property is flat to gently rolling and is appropriately shaped for subdivision development with
adequate road frontage along New Town and Crane Roads. Site characteristics include an
intermittent stream and an electric distribution line, which may be mitigated by developing the
property under Union County’s cluster provisions. The blue-line creek running through the property
provides a planning opportunity for a preserved trail or community greenway corridor.

FLOOD PLAIN
According to Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) Map (Panel # 4465), the
property is neither located within a watershed, nor subject to floodplain insurance nor other floodplain
regulatory requirements.

UTILITIES
In order to utilize the cluster provisions in the Union County Zoning Code, the site must be serviced by
Union County water and sewer. Although Union County water and sewer can be found in subdivisions
contiguous to this property, the availability and capacity of municipal services will need to be verified.
Please see the maps below for existing water and sewer lines in proximity to the property.

PROPERTY TAXES
Per North Carolina General Statutes, properties must be reappraised at least once every eight years.
In Union County, properties were assessed in 2004 and 2008. The next scheduled reassessment is in 2015.
The tax rate for unincorporated Union County in 2012-2013 was $0.66 per $100 of value. This tax rate is
the lowest in the Charlotte metro area and its surrounding counties. The highest rates in the MSA are in
the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, with a combined rate of $1.2844 per $100 of value. As
a comparison, a property with a tax value of $700,000 in Union County would be assessed $4,655 in

ZONING
Currently, the property zoning is regulated by the jurisdiction of Union County. The property has an R-
40 zoning designation, which allows single family residential and planned residential developments at
low to moderate densities. The R-40 zoning designation was originally intended for areas that were not
serviced by public water and sewer. However, the surrounding developments are serviced by Union
County municipal services. Minimum lot sizes in this zoning designation are 40,000 square feet. The
“cluster provision” stipulates a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet (Table 2). Due to the physical
characteristics of the site, the buyer may want to consider the County’s “cluster provisions” in the
subdivision regulations. Also permitted include two-family conversions, primary residences with an
accessory apartment, and duplexes on lots having at least 150% of the minimum square footage
required for a one dwelling unit on a lot.
