The Planning Department Staff recommended approval of the request to rezone .64 acres
from Conservation to RA-30. Staff concluded it would not have an unreasonable impact on
the surrounding community since the proposed site would be outside of any know
environmentally sensitive areas.
After a discussion about topography & FEMA floodplain location, as well as questions
pertaining to future development, on September 61h the Hamett County Planning Board voted
unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of this Rezoning application.
The Planning Board also asked staff to explore opportunities for different options to
determine the Conservation boundary to ensure they are correct and that the best available
data is being used.

Page4 of 6
The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the s urrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING: The impact to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding
community is reasonable . The existing zoning district of Conservation is to protect the
natural environment as well as citi zens and their property from flood hazards.
However, the area requested to be rezoned is not located within any flood hazard area
or noted wetlands, and should cause no harm or inconvenience to the community .
T he requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING:
The requested zoning is compatible with the existing land use classifications of
Agricultural & Rural Residential and Environmentally Sensitive Areas by using this area
for an intended purpose of a single family residence without disturbing any
environmentally sensitive areas.
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING:
The area that is being requested does not lie within a flood hazard area or delineated
wetlands and will not interfere with the remaining conservation area. T hus the request
to rezone a very small portion of the conservation area will maintain the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness
REASONING: This r equest does not need to be evaluated for a small scale rezoning,
because the area requested to be rezoned abuts RA-30 zoning.
STAFF REPORT
091316wsa HC BOC Page 7
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that ... )
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA·30 is compatible with Harnett County regulatory
documents and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will enhance
the public health, safety, and general welfare for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended
that this rezoning request be APPROVED.

Ben. here is my best shot at a write up for the Application for Zoning Change. The signed application is attached.
2.1 Property is 260+ acres purchased 18 months ago by John/Celia Linderman and Jack/Mary Clayton to maintain as a
farm and forest land. We have a total of 5 sons. all Eagle Scouts, so we want to place to hike and hunt that will never
be developed. We plan to build 2 homes on the land. The house we are requesting the rezoning for is 60' above the
river and outside of the flood plain but in the 500' conservation easement from the river edge. We are requesting to
change the zoning for the home site to RA30. Only .5 acres of the 10 acre RA30 tract is in the conservation easement
and the house will be 400' from the river edge and over 500' from the center of the Cape Fear River. Any other property
outside the flood zone at an elevation of 60' above the water level will have the same opportunity.
2.2 The house site is on a knoll which allows for a walk out basement given the steep slope of the land at this point.
We plan to use this 40'X30' basement room for meeting space for Scout troops (Clayton is the past President of the
Occoneechee Council and actively involved in Scouting) and other leadership training. We will also build at another
location a shelter for the Scouts to use when camping on the property and have already built 2 miles of trails for the
Scouts/church groups to use.
Both owners have held talks with the Sandhills Conversation Trust about placing a Clean Water Easement and a
Conservation Easement on 200+ acres of the land. Clayton is on the board of the Triangle Land Conservancy and
serves on the TLC Conservation Strategies Committee. He was recognized as the Corporate Citizen of the Year in 2015
by the NC Land Trust and has hosted fund raisers at their home for land conservation . The clear benefit for rezoning
this .5 acres will be access for Scouters and 200 more acres placed under conservation.
We have also agreed to let the Harnett Volunteer Fire Department access our road and the property down at the river to
enter the Cape Fear River for rescue operations. They have made a proposal for funding for the boat access to the river.
2.3 This land is 260 acres and heavily wooded so there would be no impact on others in the area.
2.4 The character of the neighborhood will remain the same with this zoning change and 9.5 acres of the RA30 zone is
outside the Conservation Zone. Our purpose in buying this land was to have it continue into future generations as a
quiet retreat and not be developed commercially.
2.5 This plan is in accordance with the Conservation Plan developed by Unique Places when we acquired the land. Our
goal was to create a farm with 10 acres of crops and 25 acres of long leaf pines (already cleared and will be planted this
fall}. We engaged Unique Plans to ensure we had a good long term plan for the property.

Board Meeting
Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2016
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Lease Terms for Mamers Convenience Site
REQUESTED BY: Amanda L. Bader, PE, County Engineer
REQUEST:
Request approval to negotiate the lease term and amount for three convenience sites,
Mamers, Bunnlevel, and Buckhorn. This needs to be revisisted because of negotiations with
a new property owner and the County's exposure with investments on the leased sites.
1. New Property Owner: The property which is the current location of the Mamers
Convenience Site, Parcel ID# 13-0620-0200, has been transferred to a new owner, Raul
Berdusco . Since the property has been transferred, a new lease is required. Mr. Berdusco is
requesting an increase in rent from $2100 per year to $2400 per year . Mr. Berdusco is not
interested in selling the property. When asked about a five year lease, Mr. Berdusco
requested $2500 per year.
2. County's Exposure: We are investing in improvements for these sites such as power
services and pavement for compactor installations. Hamett County currently leases two
other convenience sites for $2100 per year. We are looking for a recommendation for a lease
amount and term. Should we continue to go year to year or should we look at a 5 year term
to minimize our exposue? A longer term lease seems to be the best option, but would
increase the lease amount for each site by $400 /year.

Harnett County Legislative Priorities
February 1, 2016
Last year's priorities
Assist in Construction of Four Lane Highway from Harnett County into Wake County
Harnett County is the only county surrounding Wake County that does not have a four-lane highway into
Wake County. This has been cited as a significant barrier to economic development in Harnett County. A
four-lane highway into Wake County would have a significant positive economic impact on Harnett
County.
Authorize Counties to Operate Natural Gas as an Enterprise
Access to natural gas is a basic requirement for many industries and businesses looking for sites to
locate new facilities. Despite a massive population influx in western Harnett County, a lack of natural gas
has prevented the commercial and industrial growth that would normally accompany these increases in
population. Harnett County asks for the same authorization municipalities have when it comes to
expanding natural gas.
Expand Broadband in Rural Harnett County Communities
Many portions of Harnett County do not currently have access to broadband. This is another significant
barrier to economic growth in the county. Harnett County asks to be able to participate in developing
infrastructure and providing broadband to underserved areas within the county.
Authorize Use of Recreation Fees for Construction
Harnett County requests legislation that would grant the County the ability to use recreation fees, which
are currently received from new development in the county, for construction as well as land acquisition.
At present, counties can only use this revenue for land acquisition while municipalities are allowed to
use them for both construction and land acquisition.
Allow Harnett County to Establish a County-wide Tourism Entity
In last year's legislative session of the N.C. General Assembly, a bill was introduced that would have
created a tax district for all of Harnett County outside of the Averasboro Township that would allow the
Board of Commissioners to levy an occupancy tax of up to six percent for hotels, motels, inn s, tourist
camps and other similar lodgings, and to use these funds to establish a Harnett County Tourism
Development Authority, which would use at least two thirds of these funds to promote travel and
tourism with the rest going toward tourism-related expenditures in the district. This bill was not
successful, however this issue may be a legislative priority for 2016.
Allow Harnett County to establish an Agricultural Business District
Harnett County seeks legislation allowing it to partner with neighboring counties to establish a multi-
jurisdictional regional Agricultural Business District that allows for favorable taxation and incentives to
attract agricultural businesses to the region . Like several of its neighboring counties, Harnett counts
agriculture as its largest industry and seeks to partner with neighboring counties to enhance its
agricultural economy.
• Discuss Possibility of Expanding North Carolina's Ports to Assist with Exports
Allow Counties to use E-911 Funds for E-911 Needs Other than Equipment
Harnett County currently ha s E-911 funds which can only be used to purchase equipment, however the
county has fulfilled all existing equipment needs. Harnett County asks for the flexibility to use leftover E-
911 funds for personnel, training and other ne eds co nne ct ed to the use of E-911.

The North Carolina Division of Public Health (DPHJ proposed legislation for the 2016 short session of the General
As sembly that would h:we amended G .S. I 30A-I 97 to adopt by rc:forence the postcxposure management control
measures for dogs and cats rn the 20 I 6 NASPHV rabies compendium . Unfor1unc1tely the legi slative proposal was
never introduced as a bi ll during the 20 I ti short session.
In lieu of an amendment tu the: statute, and to cnsun: tho:: force and dfci.:t of law in the adoption of the nt:w control
measurc:s, we rc:commend that the local board of health. or the entity that is acting as the board of he:ilth, adopt the
modd Board of Health rule below . Pursuant tu G .S . l 30A-39. ;i lo..:al board of health may, in its rules. ,1dupt hy
reference any code. standard, rule or regulation which has been adopted hy any agency of this State. another stale ,
any agency of the United St::ites or by a generally n:cognizt:d association. Copies of any material adopted by
re frn:ncc shall be filed with the rules .
Model Rulr fur Poste.xposurc ;\,lanagement of Dogs and Cats
Recummrnded by thl' NC Division off Public Health
This model mle for rnbics postexp~•surc management of dogs i,nd cats implements and particularizes the amhori ty
gi,·en to the local health director in (.i.S. I 30A-I 97 to cffrctin:ly and etfo:icntly protect the public's health utilizing
the most current science. Accordingly. the Board of Health adopts the n:commendations and
gu1dclincs for rallies postexpusure management of dogs and cat s specified by the N:itional Association of State
Public Health Veterinarians in the 2016 cdition of the Compendium of Animal Rabies Prewntion and Control ( Pan
J .8.5: Posrexposure Managemcnt). These pro\·isions of the Compendium shall be the rc4uired control measures
pursuant toG.S . 130A-!97.
Adoption of the 20 I 6 Rabies Compendium postexposure management control mt:asurc·s for dogs and cats as a Board
of Health rule would pro\·ide the kgal authority for local healtb directors to implement the new rabies control
mcasun:s and would align North Carolina 's control measures with current national recomrm:ndation~ and guidan ce.
The m:w control measures would likely result in fower dogs and cats cuthanized, shorter 4uarantinc periods (4
months rather than 6 months) and allow for more 45-day owner (at -home) ubscrvations for lapsed animals with
approprn1t1: dui.:unll'ntatiun. These changes reprcsi:nt signific~nt emotional and (estimated) finani.:ial benefits tu
animal owners (Table l ). If managed and monitored carefully by local health dcpanments, thesi: control measun:s
will maintain the srikty of public hen Ith in North Carolinc1
