UBLIC REARING REGARDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE HARNETT OUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
The Harnett County Board of Commissioners met on Monday, June 11,
1979, at 7:30 p.m. in the Commissioners Room, County Office
Building, Lillington, North Carolina, for the purpose of a Public
Hearing for a proposed amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance of
Harnett County. Those present were: Chairman Jesse Alphin, M.
H. Brock, Lloyd G. Stewart, W. A. Shaw, Jr., Rudy Collins and
County Attorney, Ed McCormick.
PRAYER Chairman Alphin called the meeting to order and Commissioner-'Shaw
offered the evening prayer.
PURPOSE Chairman Alphin opened.' the meeting and stated the purpose: a
Public Hearing for an amendment to the Harnett County Subdivision
Ordinance.
BOBBY BRYAN
Chairman Alphin recognized Attorney Bobby Bryan who spoke on
behalf of the developers of Carolina Lakes, a Planned Unit Deve-
lopment located in western Harnett near Buffalo Lake in Barbecue
Township, This proposed development includes a total site acreag
of 1,074 acres. Mr. Bryan stated that basically the amendment
would allow a subdivision in a Planned Unit Development which is
329
not now allowed under the present county ordinance. It will allo
a prospective developer to present a unit package of development,
a self- contained, self - controlled unit wnen exceptions would be
allowed to the general county ordinance. It would allow the
Harnett County Planning Board to approve any Planned Unit Develop
ment which they deem appropriate and which meets the requirements
of common areas, and other requirements under the PUD ordinance.
Under a Planned Unit Development, certain requirements of the
ordinance cannot be met under a PUD unit, such as, cul de sacs
are limited in scope and size and are not appropriate in a PUD.
PUDs have longer cul de sacs. Lot front sizes are a minimum of
less than under the county ordinance. Town houses are not now
allowed under county ordinance. Under PUD, approval could be given
for town houses by the Harnett County Planning Board. Figures on
this particular site were given by Mr. Bryan and include: 1,074
total acres; Phase I development includes 354 acres which has a
golf course of 120 acres (34 %); lakes of 43 acres (12 %); site
amenity easements 17 acres (5%) and single family lotting of 174
acres (49%) .
Mr. Bryan asked that the Board of Commissioners allow the Harnett
County Planning Board to approve, under a PUD Amendment, in order
to allow exceptions to the general County Ordinance which does no
suit a Planned Unit Development. He stated that Planned Unit
Developments are exceptions and addendums to ordinances throughou
the state and that Lee County and Raleigh have adopted such Plan-
ned Unit Development Amendments to take care of self- contained, ail
inclusive development. He added that this act would be a great
asset to Harnett County.
TONY TUCKER Mr. Tony Tucker of the Harnett County Planning and Development
stated that the Planning Board had recommended adoption of the
PUD Amendment to the Board of Commissioners. He stated that this
amendment gives flexibility to some ares which we have not had
before and by no means weakens the overall intent of quality
development; and, in this case, it strengthens the ordinance. As
the ordinance stand now, it does not allow for developments such
as Keith Hills or Carolina Tract. This amendment gives the Count
leeway for quality development within Harnett County.
COMMISSIONER SHAW Commissioner Shaw directed a question as to the requiring of a
bond to Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker stated that in the case of the
Carolina Lakes development that he had discussed some type of
guarantee with the President of Carolina Tract and that he was
aware that a financial statement of the company would be necessar
to establish a sufficient guarantee; otherwise a bond would be
required. It was pointed out that under the general ordinance a
guarantee, acceptable to the Board, was allowed in lieu of a bond
ACTION There was no opposition to the amendment, and upon motion by
Commissioner Stewart, seconded by Commissioner Shaw, the follow-
ing Planned Unit Development Amendment to the Harnett County
Subdivision Ordinance was approved:
