The Tax Administrator also reported, in accordance with G.S. 105- 369(a), the total
unpaid 2010 taxes that are liens on real property is $2,594,028.12
1 Resolution to add roads to the state system Overhills Creek Subdivision: Craven Court,
Swain Street and Rockingham Street (Attachment 2)
4. Human Resources, on behalf of the Planning and Inspections Department, requested to
reclassify the Central Permitting/Community Development Administrator position due to
increased assigned duties of managing the Harnett County Jetport. Mr. Barry Blevins'
position of Central Permitting/Community Development Administrator is currently
classified as a Grade 73 on the Classification and Grade Table with his current salary
$54,645. Due to the additional duties he has been performing it was requested that Mr.
Blevins' position be reclassified to a Grade 75 with a 10% salary increase to $60,113
retroactive to October 26, 2010.
5. The Sheriffs Office requested permission to submit a Criminal Justice Partnership Grant
to the NC Department of Correction, Division of Community Corrections. The grant will
be in the amount of $102,079 with no local fund match. The grant will provide funds for
the Criminal Justice Partnership Program in Harnett County. This program provides
services to sentenced offenders including GED classes, Life Skill classes, Drug
Counseling and other services. This program is designed to reduce repeat offenders and
has shown great success in reducing the number of offenders who return to the prison
system.
6. The Sheriff's Office requested up to $20,000 to purchase equipment to repair the
Courthouse Security Video System. A key component of the system failed last fall. The
Sheriff's Office was able to obtain a loaner from Johnson Controls to keep the system
operating. The system has not had any major issues since it was installed in 2002. The
Sheriffs Office and IT Department believe it is most cost effective to incorporate the
courthouse system with the new Public Utilities' video system with courthouse videos
separate from others and only available to approved staff at the Sheriffs Office and
courthouse.
7. General Services requested adoption of the CTP funding resolution for the FY 2012
Community Transportation Grant Program. The resolution will allow Harnett County to
enter into agreement with the NC Department of Transportation; providing the necessary
assurances, certifications and local match for FY 2012. (Attachment 3)
8. Emergency Services requested approval of the Memorandum of Agreement between NC
Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management,
Training and Exercise Branch. The Agreement states that the grant funds for training in
the amount of $5,940.59 be retained by the State to provide statewide certification and
NIMS training courses to first-responders on behalf of Harnett County. The funds are
part of FY 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program.

community for all of their support through the years and said she is where she is today by the
grace of God and help of people.
Mark Locklear, Planning Manager, petitioned the Board to approve proposed text amendments,
Applicant: Harnett County Planning Department Proposed Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.
The Harnett County Planning Department and Emergency Services, along with members from
Angier, Coats, Dunn, Erwin and Lillington have been involved with updating the County's
Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan is mandated by the State of North Carolina and the Federal
Government specifically FEMA. It was originally adopted in 2004 and is required to be updated
every 5 years. With this plan update, which is considered a multi jurisdictional plan, the County
and its municipalities remain eligible to receive federal and state hazard mitigation and disaster
recovery assistance funding.
Hazard mitigation is defined by FEMA as "sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate long-
term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects." Harnett County's Hazard
Mitigation Plan addresses the specific goals and needs of the County and was developed based
on a thorough assessment of area history, vulnerability, capability and vision. The plan is
considered a guide to help steer development away from potentially dangerous areas or situations
and should not be considered a regulatory document. The NC Division of Emergency
Management FEMA have already approved this plan under the condition that it is adopted by
each jurisdiction. Angier, Coats, Dunn, Erwin, Lillington and the County Planning Board have
approved this plan.
A public hearing was held by the Planning Board on Monday, March 7, 2011. The Planning
Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the updated Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan.
Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Burgin moved to approve the updated Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation
Plan. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Andrews and passed unanimously.
(Attachment 5)
Samantha Ficzko, Planner II, petitioned the Board to approve proposed text amendments,
Applicant: Harnett County Planning Department, Zoning Ordinance, New Additions and
Revisions, Article X, Planned Unit Development rewrite. Ms. Ficzko reported that the
adoption of the Compatibility Development Design Guidelines for subdivisions in 2007 was
major step in moving towards development of a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in
Harnett County. The Planning Department has seen much success with these new standards;
however the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations have essentially been by-
passed due to the flexibility they include. Mrs. Ficzko said the intent of the PUD regulations are
to provide flexibility for large, planned developments within the parameters of the Zoning

Ordinance. She noted staff rewrote the PUD section, using the Compatibility Development
Design Guidelines as a starting point.
Ms. Ficzko explained staff felt it necessary to separate this change from the other, smaller
changes proposed as part of the UDO under development because 1) there was a request from a
developer to update the PUD standards so that they could be used for a large development within
the County and 2) for proposing the amendment to ensure staff that the rewrite of this section
was addressed prior to moving forward with a UDO draft.
A public hearing was held by the Planning Board on Monday, March 7, 2011. The Planning
Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the requested proposed amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance.
Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Hill moved to approve the requested proposed amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Andrews and passed
unanimously. (Attachment 6)
Dwight Snow, County Attorney, petitioned the Board to approve a Resolution of the Board of
Commissioners of Harnett County, North Carolina Approving the Issuance by the Public Finance
Authority of Bonds on Behalf of Harnett Health System, Inc.
Mr. Snow noted the commissioners had previously voted to host the public hearing in connection
with the issuance by the Public Finance Authority of its hospital revenue bonds, series 2011
(Harnett Health System, Inc.) in the aggregate principle not to exceed $25 Million. Pursuant to
Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, prior to their issuance, private activity
bonds are required to be approved by the "applicable elected representative" of a governmental
unit having jurisdiction over the entire area in which any facility financed by such bonds is to be
located, after a public hearing held following reasonable public notice.
Mr. Snow stressed the resolution read "the bonds shall not represent or constitute a debt of
pledge of the faith and credit, monies, or the taxing power of Harnett County, the State of North
Carolina, or any political subdivision of the state of North Carolina
Mr. Snow reported the financing process is still on- going, all construction contracts are in place,
the structural steel had been ordered and the easements were recorded last week as well as plans
having been reviewed by the Harnett County Planing Department.
Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
Deanne Crowell of Bunn Level asked for clarification regarding the $25 million bonds and how
something could be built without financing in place. Chairman McNeill explained that they are

working on two tracts; Harnett Health System already has a mechanism for financing but is also
pursuing a cheaper option for financing the new hospital.
There being no further comments, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing. Commissioner
House moved to adopt the resolution as presented. Commissioner Burgin seconded the motion
which passed unanimously. (Attachment 7)
Mr. Sauer presented the following reports:
Department of Public Health Activities Summary
Mr. Sauer reminded the group of the upcoming Harnett Local Government Association dinner
with legislators on March 31 at Nonna's in Lillington.
It was the consensus of the Board to reschedule their upcoming special session from Tuesday,
March 29, 2011, to Monday, March 28, 2011, starting at 9:00 am.
There was no need for closed session.
Chairman McNeill called for any new business. Commissioner Burgin requested a report of how
many call outs /emergencies Public Utilities had received within the last 12 months and who
responded to those calls. Commissioner Burgin shared his disbelief of Public Utilities' inability
to park any of their 39 vehicles currently being driven home by employees. Commissioner
Burgin requested that the county manager's evaluation be schedule as soon as possible and
encouraged Mr. Sauer to performed evaluations of department heads.
At 8:09 pm Commissioner House moved to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Andrews and passed unanimously

ADD the following to Article X "Planned Unit Development"
SECTION 1.0 PURPOSE
It is recognized that only through ingenuity, imagination, and high quality design can planned unit
developments be produced which are in keeping with the intent of this Ordinance while departing
1i dimensional P g
from the strict application cation of conventional use and dimensional requirements. This is done by
allowing design flexibility and a inix of residential and nonresidential uses, and /or varyin types of
both residential and nonresidential uses. Coordination of such development with adequacy of
q
public facilities while maintaining the rural and small town character of Harnett County is a necessity
in this type of development.
The constructed and natural landmarks, and social and econornic surroundings, are what cause
someone to identify with a particular place or community. Characteristics of a location that make it
readily recognizable as being unique and different from its surroundings, and providing a feelin g of
belonging to or being identified with that particular place warrant consideration when g
develo in a
planned unit development.
developing
The characteristics of different uses, activities, and /or designs allow them to both be located in
proximity to and in harmony with one (1) another through compatibility. Elements affecting
compatibility include: height, scale, mass, and bulk of structures; pedestrian and vehicular traffic;
vehicular circulation and access; landscaping; lighting; and mitigation of noise, odor, and air
pollution. Compatibility is not intended to mean identical; rather, compatibility refers to the
sensitivity of development proposals in maintaining the character of existing development and
harmony of the different uses within the proposal with one (1) another.
The intent of the planned unit development regulations of Harnett County is to provide for
minimum, conventional development regulations, while allowing a developer the flexibility to
determine how to attain superior development through the criteria listed herein.
SECTION 2.0 DEVELOPMENT CRI"1ERIA
Unless otherwise stated or outlined herein, all requirements of this Ordinance shall be met.
2.1 Minimum Development Size
No PUD shall be approved for a site of less than 10 contiguous acres under unified ownership or
control.
2.2 Minimum Building Setbacks
14
Unless specified and approved as part of the outline development plan, the minimum setback
requirements of this Ordinance shall be met. The minimum building setback for all single family
development shall be five (5) feet.
2.3 Public Utilities
Both public water and public sewer services shall be available to serve the proposed p lanned unit
development. Capacity of both services must be available at the time of approval. The applicant shall
provide proposed water and sewer demands to the Harnett County Department of Public Utilities p rior
to submission of the conditional use permit application. A flow acceptance letter for sewer capacity
p ty
from Harnett County Department or Public Utilities shall be submitted with the condition use ermit
PP

2.4 Permissible Uses
A. Residential Uses Allowed within a PUD
Proposed planned unit developments primarily residential in use shall be allowed as a conditi use
in the underlying residential zoning district(s) only. Permissible residential uses within a PUD include
single family detached dwellings, two family duplexes, townhome dwellings, multifamil dwellings,
and customary residential accessory uses and structures.
Commercial and other nonresidential uses allowed within a residential PUD shall be limited to those
uses specified in the O &I and Commercial Zoning Districts.
B. Nonresidential Uses Allowed within a PUD
Proposed planned unit developments primarily nonresidential in use shall be allowed as a conditional
use in the underlying nonresidential zoning district(s) only.
Residential uses allowed within a nonresidential PUD shall be limited to those uses specified in the
RA-20M Zoning District.
C. Development Located within Conservation Zoning District
Any portion of a planned unit development located within a conservation zoning district shall be
developed to the standards of this Ordinance and shall not be allowed the flexibility of this Section.
D. Nonresidential Development within a PUD
Nonresidential development within a PUD shall be arranged to:
1. Separate pedestrian and vehicular traffic such that pedestrians can safely walk between businesses
within the planned unit development and from parking areas to businesses; and
2. Promote access from adjacent residential development into nonresidential development areas,
whether or not said residential development is existing or is included as part of the nonresidential
PUD.
SECTION 3.0 DESIGN GUIDELINES
3.1 um Dimensional Amenity Requirements
This Section describes additional regulations that shall be met for single family, multifamily, and
nonresidential development within planned unit developments. The regulations shall be applied
individually by the desired type of use and density per pod. The developer shall outline whi method is
intended as part of the application and shall provide a clear intent to seamlessly inte differing

Nonresidential uses, whether developed as a portion of a residential PUD or devel of a
nonresidential PUD, shall meet the following criteria.
1. In order to facilitate innovative design of nonresidential areas, there shall be no minimum
building setback when located adjacent to other nonresidential uses. However, th outline
development plan shall outline the all proposed setbacks.
2. A minimum of 10 percent (10 of the total area proposed for nonresidential uses shall be set
aside as open space. when located within a watershed, a minimum of 30 percent (30 of the
total area. Stormwater management measures and other required undevelop land, such as
BMPs, can be used to attain up to half (1/2) of this requirement.
The transportation network of all planned unit developments shall, at a minimum, meet the standard
requirements of this Ordinance. Further, all streets within a planned unit development shall be located
and designed in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Transportation
for the type of street proposed.
A. Access to Nonresidential Uses within Residential Planned Unit Developments
Primary vehicular access to commercial development shall not be through intervening local streets.
B. Entrances
At least one (1) point of ingress /egress for a planned unit development shall be locat on a minor
collector road, at a minimum, as identified by NCDOT. The number of ingress and egress points
needed to safely move vehicular traffic from the PUD to the adjoining street(s) shall meet the
minimum requirements of this Ordinance; however the Board of Adjustment, via review of the
outline development plan, may allow additional entrances, under the direction of NCDOT. It shall
be the applicant's responsibility to consult with NCDOT prior to requesting additional entrances.
3.3 Parking
Parking requirements shall meet the standards of this Ordinance. An alternative parking plan may b
gP y
submitted as part of the outline development plan. Shared parking is encouraged for uses that typically
do not generate traffic at the same time.
3.4 Signs
A generalized sign plan shall be submitted as part of the outline development plan. Said p lan shall
include the design, type, and illun-iination source of signs to ensure uniform style throughout the
development. All signs shall conform to the applicable requirements of this Ordinance unless otherwise
approved.
3.5 Buffering
A. Perimeter Buffering
Planned unit developments shall be required to provide perimeter buffering in accordance with
Section `Buffers Landscaping" of this Ordinance. However, when a use within a PUD is located
adjacent to an existing, compatible use, the Administrator may reduce both the buffer area and
number of plantings required by up to 50 percent (50 If the applicant wishes to reduce the buffer
by greater than 50 percent (50 the Board of Adjustment shall make that determinatio
B. Internal Buffering
Individual uses within the PUD shall be required to meet the buffer requirements for the specific use
unless an alternative internal buffering plan is submitted and approved by the Board of Adjustment
as part of outline development plan.
3.6 Open Space
All planned unit developments shall include open space to optimize use and communit interaction
within the proposed development, as well as to maintain and preserve significant natural features. Each
PUD shall include a minimum amount of open space, as required by this Section.
A. Required Open Space Areas
1. Wetlands
Proposals that include any identified wetlands shall include those areas within th required open
space. It is encouraged that, in cases where more than one (1) area of W exists,
connections between the wetlands are also included within the open space.
2. Flood Areas
Proposals that include any identified flood hazard areas are encouraged to include those areas
within the required open space.
3. Water Features
Other water features that are not identified as wetlands or flood hazard areas are often
overlooked during site development. However, these features may be just as important to the
continued success of the natural environment and should therefore be considered for inclusion
17
in required open space.
B. Unimproved Open Space
Unimproved open space includes any type of open space that is not defined as improved open en s
p ace P
by this Ordinance. All of the required unimproved open space within a PUD shall be recorded at the
time of recordation of the first phase of development.
C. Improved Open Space
A minimum open space
p of 10 percent (10 of the total open space provided shall include improved o ace
area(s) in primarily resident hl planned unit developments. Specific improved open space uses shall
be proposed by the developer in the outline development plan. Proportionate to its size, each P od of
the PUD shall include an area of improved open space. In no case shall open space include less area
than the smallest lot of the pod in which the open space is located.
D. Access to Open Space
In cases where improved open space is located along a right -of -way where improved pedestrian
access is not required, such access shall be provided to connect the open space to the nearest
required pedestrian access.
SECTION 4.0 SUPERIOR DESIGN CRITERIA
PUD may modify the requirements set forth in the UDO, if the applicant demonstrates how the
proposed development is superior to that accomplished through conventional ordinance application.
Superior design criteria PP
p gn teria exceed the standard development requirements of the Harnett County
Unified Development Ordinance. While there are numerous techniques that may be utilized for each
of the criteria below, it is up to the applicant to determine what is most appropriate for th proposed
PUD.
Each of the criteria below shall be met, included, and explained as part of the required outline
development plan. It is the duty of the applicant to provide that each of these criteria is met. Each
criterion must be met in order for the Board of Adjustment to consider approval of the
development proposal. The Board of Adjustment shall make a determination that the outline
development plan adequately meets and explains these criteria to the extent necessary to meet the
purpose of this Section. Greater detail in explanation of the superior design provided as art of a
ro osal shall afford as p
art
p o d a mote thorough and informed review process by County Staff and the Board
of Adjustment.
4.1 Overall Development Design
Innovative design of the overall development, which may include access, circulation, privacy, and other
factors to create a unique development that compliments or enhances the surrounding community.
4.2 Architectural Design
In planned unit developments, architectural design shall take into consideration the intended character of
development as a whole, including seamless transitions between uses. More specifically, architectural
design may include building design, location, scale, and /or character, provided to avoid abrupt
differences between structures and uses. To determine if superior design has been attained to meet the
requirements of this Section, the architectural standard regulations of the Highway Corridor Overlay
Zoning District shall be used as a benchmark.
4.3 Sustainability
18
The intention of sustainability in development is to eliminate negative environmental impacts through
P ug
sensitive and skillful design. Further, sustainable development is intended to meet existing human needs
while preserving the environment so that the needs of future generations can be tnet without an undue
economic burden. Maintaining or enhancing opportunities and community well being, while rotectin
P g
and restoring the natural environment upon which people and the natural environment depend, are
primary features of sustainable development. Ways of living more sustainably can take many forms from
reorganizing living conditions and sustainable architecture, including but not limited to a water
Y
systems for irrigation, pervious parking, and alternative energy.
4.4 Preservation of Natural Historic Features
Community use of natural resources shall do so in a way that does not jeopardize the ability of future
generations or the natural environment to live and prosper. For example, preservation of all areas
located within the conservation zoning district as open space or utilizing naturally low lyin g areas for
utility easements walking trails.
4.5 Transportation System
On -site circulation and off-site traffic consequences shall be addressed as a whole in overall development
design. Circulation for vehicle and pedestrian movement should be provided to minimi impacts to
existing transportation systems. Transportation systems included as part of a PUD may include traffic
calming devices, innovative intersection design, and other techniques to maintain safe traffic movement
throughout the development.
4.6 Public Safety Service Availability
Availability of public services is a major factor in locating developments. For purposes of this item,
public services may include the use of residential sprinkler systems, and proximity to fire and emergency
medical services, hospitals, law enforcement services, libraries, and educational facilities.
SECTION 5.0 REVIEW APPROVAL PROCEDURES
5.1 Pre development Meeting
A predevelopment meeting shall be scheduled with the Planning Department, and other County
Departments as applicable, to review the proposed development plan. Said predevelopm meeting will
allow both the developer(s) and County Staff to air out potential issues prior to submittal to th Board of
Adjustment. This meeting must be held before staff will accept a conditional use application for the
proposed development.
5.2 Public Outreach
A. Notification of the Public
A minim extent of public outreach shall be done by the developer(s) prior to, or in conjunction
with, application of the proposed plan. Properties located within the proposed developm area, all
adjacent parcels, and those parcels or portions of parcels within 600 feet of the proposed
development area shall be notified by the developer(s) of the intent for development of the site.
Such notification shall include a map of the development area, a description of th p ro p oSe d
development, and contact information for the developer(s) and/or a representative(s). A list of the
property owners notified and a copy of the letter sent (including any attachments) must be submitted
