The at its=January 6, 2026 Planning Board Attorney Benton Sawrey represeiitinggste applicant argued that the current C-2 zoning was incompatible with the surrounding resident aLdevelopntent, noting that s x (6) single family homes border the property. He contended that a shoppmg�,center would be inappropriate given the residential context and limited infrastructure, particularly`` the two-laneFairground Road and residential cul-de-sac access via Dogwood Knoll Court. w Council membdrs raised concerns about -access issues, -noting that two (2) lots appeared landlocked with Davis Street existing only on- et,_ Council' ember Sills questioned whether DOT would approve multiple drivewayson Fairground Roadand whetherc eat ng access roads would reduce lot sizes, making development inconsistent with surrounding R.0 zoned,propert'es. Council Member Hargis pointed out that no other properties ffthe area were zon' 7, questioning the compatibility argument No members of thb<public spoke m,apposition to the request After closing the public hearing; Council Members discussed concerns`;about trafficaaccess, consistency with the existing neighborhood character, and the appropriateness of R-7zon}ng inn area surrounded by R-10 development.

'160D-605, and notwithstanding the staff analysis and the recommendation made by the Planning Board, the City Council finds (A) that approval of RZ-25-04 Dogwood Knoll Street & Fairground Road, would be inconsistent with the City of Dunn Land Use Plan designation as a Gateway and Corridor entrance to the City and that the current C-2 Shopping Center zoning remains the most appropriate zoning district for this property and this Council further finds (B) that denial of the rezoning request is reasonable taking into consideration (i) the size, physical conditions including the existence of an unopened street on the property, and other attributes of the area proposed to be rezoned, (ii) the benefits and detriments to the landowners, the neighbors, and the surrounding community, (iii) the relationship between the current actual and permissible development on the tract and ,adjoining areas including the existence of commercial zoning across the street and the residential development that would be permissible under the proposed amendment when commercial development remains preferred for this property; and (iv) any and all comments made during the public hearing on this matter. All in favor. Motion unanimously approved to deny. Special Use Permit Application (SUP-26.01) N.

The property is currently zoned RM multifamily district Opened Evidentiary Hearing at 7:15 p.m. Closed Evidentiary Hearing at 7:54 p.m. City Attorney Pope explained that this, matter is judicial in nature and will be conducted in accordance with special due process safeguards.' At this time, all persons that wish to provide testimony, during this hearing should come forward to be sworn in, please.

Do you solemnly swtidt that the testimony you're about to give to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help y`ou God? Yes. Attorney: Thank you. You may be seated at this`time. Mr. Mayor, to explain the matter. First, we're going to hear from our Senior.Planner, Stephanie Goodrich, then from the applicant and his witnesses, and then from Ke-lthe°opponents to the request. Parties may cross-examine witnesses after each witness testifies when questions are called for.; If you would like the Council to written evidence s'jcluch as maps or reports or exhibits, the, witness who is most familiar with those matters, should present tharto Council a d ask that it be introduced into evidence. We cannot and will not:aeeept repots from personstvho are not here to testify and be subject to cross examination. Idid not se nya"ttorneys° present that would;beyepresentingany ofthe parties here this evening. So, I will now open the meenng`'as !:�asefN,umber SUP 26 01 which is a Special Use Permit Application, and ask for testimony from ourPlannmg staff v '' .- --- JR Senior Planner Good irh Thank you. Lgreatly appreciate you reading the PIN numbers into the record for me. As he mentioned, this appli iutis.requestirig,a Special Use Permit to construct townhomes in the RM zoned Townhomes are*rmitted on p operties"in the RM zoning districts only through issuance of a Special Use Permit The distnct'RM applies in residential areas and contains provisions for single family and multifamily development. So e i hs able by right.to build duplexes on those lots, but he is proposing townhomes. The subject parcel is currently vacaiitaand undeveloped. These lots are flat and unremarkable. There's no flooding hazard, wetlands, or any encumbrances to the development of those lots. They seem to have been undeveloped for a long period of time, and three are three (3) existing curb cuts onto South Clinton Avenue. The Future Land Use Plan classification identifies this area as a Traditional Neighborhood & Gateways and Corridors across Clinton as illustrated in the Future Land Use Map, which is in your packet. The special use proposed is consistent with the adopted Land Use Plan. In traditional neighborhoods, which are primarily comprised of single-family residential uses with scattered small scale, multifamily uses and townhomes, the character is defined by established, often historic neighborhoods, street connectivity, and pedestrian facilities that provide access to downtown and gateways and corridors. This side of the street is considered to be a gateway and corridor. That character area includes areas of Dunn that are adjacent to downtown, several prominent entrances into the City, and many of these areas were identified in the City's Strategic Vision Plan as opportunities for improvement and redevelopment. The associated plan goals and policies that may be considered include the following: The Future Land Use. Plan is to strengthen Dunn's identity, enhance its character by encouraging high quality design throughout the City, develop and design standards for residential projects, and encourage a range of housing types based on the availability of infrastructure, proximity to services and amenities, and compatibility with existing development as described in the Future Land Use Map. The surrounding land use to the north is a gas station and a strip shopping center which is C3, Single family homes on the east and on the west are C3 with a religious institution and a single-family house, and to the south is single family housing. For consideration, the Council must vote to either approve, deny, or postpone the decision to another meeting within 60 days for the Special Use Permit request. Special Use Permit Applications are quasi-judicial, and the Council must make a final decision based upon whether the applicant has met the Findings of Fact based upon the evidence presented at the hearing. Members of the public wishing to speak to_the application should take a sworn oath, which we have done. There is a list of Findings of Fact in your staff, report. I do encourage you to read those out when you make the motion and Findings of Fact I'd be glad to answer questions about the Staff Report. b City Attorney Pope: Do you wish to introduce the Staff Report and the application into evidence? st Senior Planner Goodrich: Yes, sina City Attorney Pope: It is so received. Are there any questions from Mayor or Council for the Senior Pla ner?:"� We will now hear from the applicant and other proponents «� Mr. Dunn? c: NN City Attorney Pope: I'm sorry. We're going to hear from the.applicant firsts Oh, okay. ` k, City Attorney Pope: If you're a,proponent, you can speakaafter the al7ilicant, but the applicant will come first, please., 4'N Rodney Dunn/ApplicanV,t%Thank you. Mayor, Council My nam$ is Rodney Dunn. That's 202 West Stony Brook Court in Benson, North Caroima: For those of you who don'tknow, I actually own Dunn Outdoors, the business there on the street So, I'm very much a proponent of the,t wn growing and looking good coming in, especially on 301 coming thatw, y. Sp I bought this property ftlriHk it was about four (4) years ago. It was kind of a mess when I bough'tif It wa"sg}own up. I spent sometime and money out there personally cleaning it up. Picked a lot of pe sup under that 1ee But finallyJ just decided I need to do something with it. I mean, when you come around5that curve and you're right thereat that intersection, the gas station. I'm not sure exactly what's going on at tliat corner with the gas station'In t clearly, they're developing something else there. I went and met with the City, met with the Planner, and kind of talked about the different options, the zoning, and a couple of things. One of the- hings I had `considered was some commercial opportunities. It's not zoned commercial. I'd have to go througt process$lut I was kind of considering. You've got houses on one side, but then you've got the gas station on o eside aril a church on the other side. So, that didn't necessarily feel right for me. So, in talking to them, the reside ttal'family went through a couple options around like townhomes and duplexes. I wanted to walk you through a little bit of the process of that I reconciled it with. In the concept of duplexes, I'm really not intending on rental places going there. It's really not a rental place that I wanted to see. There're some areas in that vicinity, I'd say, really need to improve, housing wise. And so, with the duplex area, which I wouldn't have gotten a special proof of the problem is you can't sell those as individual references, which would basically imply that that would go to an investor,;who is then going to rent them. And that really wasn't the route I wanted to go. So that's the reason I just said no, I'd rather go with the Special Use Permit with the townhomes being built to high standards. On the property, there are three (3) driveways already cut in on the front - North Clinton. And in talking to the Planner, I said, hey, I want to be conscious of traffic and access to them. There're some possible layouts where there's side access. It would be in a corner lot, so we could come off of East Cole Street on the side there. Like I said, to me, it's really about curb appeal when you come around that curve and put something there that's kind of eye catchy. So, that that's how it comes to the conclusion of, like, there's an option of rezoning commercial, there was an option of duplexes. Again, for those reasons I stated, I really didn't want to put that on that particular lot: So, I felt like the middle ground in that transition zone between commercial and being conscious of the residential ones that are there is. not just going to stick in a commercial building in their backyard. So that's how I come to that middle ground of townhomes, where my vision is that they'd be like single family residences for people to buy and live in them and not be for rental. I'd just like to say thanks to Stephanie and Will. They were super helpful to work with as I kind of went through the evaluation process. I'll be glad to answer any questions. City Attorney Pope: Thank you. Questions from Mayor or Council for Mr. Dunn? Council Member Sills: Mr. Dunn, you're going to have a lot of impervious surface, which is going to create storm water. Did you have any engineers or anyone talk about stormwater mitigation?,, s. Applicant: Well, in talking to them, they said, first to get it approved, then go;,get'the -the engineer to actually do the design. But anything that's required by law as far as the impervious surface and what would fit on the side versus pervious, we would meet all of those regulations or any of thoserb ements that are there. Just the same thing for setbacks, driveway access, all that stuff would meet whatever requirements are therefor those. Council Member McNeil: My question is as far as the gateway coi ri or goes. As we set, sometimes there is a lot of traffic that comes off 95. It's used as a detour. Especially' -when it's blocked there4`,Yeah. When it's used as a detour. And I just think I'm again on the traffic thing. I justthink it's not in a good area'foz lra ivaccess since, you know, being in a residential area. I mean, its enough=problems there with the backup that we get there sometime from the detours. Applicant: That's why I was like, the side street gives actually access where when we sit down with an engineer and design, if it's approved. That's one of thA�bptions that we wante fo look at was actually possibly giving access on the side street and not even coming off North Clinton in the fronE Council Member McNeil: But you mentioned that there were already places` cut r Applicant: That was there before. Yeah. That just ha. -ened to Ne there wl n I bought the lots. Council Member McNeil: They were? Okay. d Applicant: In fact, I thinic,there's actually even the water meter services in front of those lots. They were there when I bought them. Vat's nbt anything f put in. wzV Mayor Pro Tem. Gauldn• So, world yiii'dhtlance be-offSClinton, or you would have it coming off Cole St. even though there's.dnveway access on Clint ,n Ave e?' ­�- Applicant We would lookk'at that and work,with the City and the Planner and DOT and see what's the best option�a far as mitigating trafflc'.liut it comes off Cole Street If that is with the layout. Right? And then we just take those all du have to do is justrecurve the ones on North Clinton and just cut those off. �. Mayor Pro Tem Gaul en: So is you"=minimum three (3) townhomes? ll Applicant: Minimum tjiree (3)z W.e didn't even put a number on there. Council Member McNeil:Ya ead three (3). Rr' Applicant: It's just basic whether or not use of three (3) parcels. Council: It is 3 parcels, but you may put on more. Applicant: Okay. Yeah. Because the way they explained it to me was, I could actually go without even coming for a Special Use Permit, I could come and put three (3) duplexes there. And for the reason I stated, I didn't want to go that route because you can't sell this as individual residences, they're basically turning into rentals with investors, and I didn't want rental property there. Council Member Hargis: Rodney, when you were talking about you were looking at the different zoning based like commercial or, you know, doing what you're doing. You know, what about residential? You could get a rezoning for that, I'm pretty sure, pretty easily to have single family residence instead of multifamily residence, and it would probably not be sold to renters or whatever, you know. That would be single family people living there. Applicant: Yeah. I mean, that's an option. You could build single family homes there. That's an option. Council Member Hargis: That's kind of what's around there. You know? Applicant: Yeah. Well, it's really 50/50. Right? On one side of the street is a gas station, which they're building another commercial right on the corner. It's a church in front of me, and then the comfort air condition is, like, diagonal on this corner. So, it's like 50 Percent that way is commercial, and 50 percent that way is residential. I will note that when I actually did the cleanup on the back of the lot, there's a line of trees that were back there. I tried to preserve that as much as possible just to create some delineation around the neighbors and the lots. I know I worked with some of the neighbors there to just try to preserve that too tocreate some buffer. But that's what I did. Council Member McNeil: It would be nice if it could be kept as single Applicant: It would be. City Attorney Pope: At this time, we're just asking questions of Mr ti for him? q# a No response. r ;i Pad" Applicant: Okay, Thank you for your time. City Attorney Pope: Is there any other proponent of the applicahonl like to speak? Larry Wood/Proponent: Yes, sir. City Attorney Pope: Are you a proponent?

I had two (2) reasons nn's business: The second one is to tell this Council that area of this town k it's uplifted as much as any community I've seen in a long time. North ty owners down there have done great Other than me, I own three (3) :asonsTmhere. One of them abutts the back of his property. I don't see d property owner there and I don't care what you put there, you're going I think, than you would have with any commercial building, and anytime )u've got traffic. You've got an additional traffic situation, but I just feel of that part of town. That's just my opinion. Thank you for the opportunity sir. If you'll wait just one second, Mr. Wood, in case anyone has any questions. have any questions for Mr. Wood? Are there any other proponents in favor of the application that have been sworn to testify that wish to testify at this time? Okay. We will now hear from people opposing the request. So, Ms. Goodman, if you'll state your name and address for the record, please. Sterling Goodman/Opponent: My name is Sterling Goodman, and I live at 800 North Clinton, Avenue, right on that property. And I did have on my phone what I was going to tell you, but it's gone off. And I've had my granddaughter and daughter just keep putting it on. My grandson tells me they need a special class for the elderly as far as these phones are concerned. But I'll just tell you, I've lived there for over fifty (50) years on the corner beside his property. When he comes to cut the grass and everything, he'll be cutting it right beside my house. And Cm not really sure about town homes or anything like that, but I think that where I live it is right there with other neighbors Single family homes probably would be good, but as far as the townhomes or anything like that, I think would take away.from the community feel there. And my concern is that you take into consideration the neighbors, the location, and across is street is the church. Again, that it is more of a neighborhood for families than any type of I guess you would say, it's just it's just home. It's just where you would want to build a house or have family live. And that is my concern, as far as doing townhomes, especially if they're going to be built together. And no proof, you know, it would be more appropriate to have houses instead of townhouses or apartments. That's the only concern that I have. City Attorney Pope: Anybody have any questions for Ms. Goodman? Thank you, Sterling Goodman/Opponent: Uh-huh. Thank you. City Attorney Pope: Anyone else that's been sworn to testify that application? Z At this time, we will now entertain any further questions proponents, or opponents. Once the Public Meeting is proponents or opponents shall be for clarification only. City Attorney Pope: No new evidence may be introduced the Council have any further questions for either the previously testified? Council Member Sills: I've got a question for M'rc?D City Attorney Pope: Mir Dunn, can you come back Council Member Sills: I'm sorry to make you walk Applicant: That's alright. I need to•get my steps in Council Member Sills: I understand. The.townhom Applicant: Mhmm. Thatwo Council Member Sills: Yeah.

A property owner association that is responsible for keeping the grass cut, keeping the garbage picked up Council Member Sills: Right City Attorney Pope: Things of that nature where each unit in the townhome development would pay monthly dues to see that those things were accomplished. Applicant: So, I think the intent of the question is to try to ensure that there's a certain level of standard that those that property is kept. Is that kind of what .... Council Member Sills: Yes. Applicant: What we're getting at? Applicant: Yeah. I mean, I don't see why that wouldn't be put in place. We haven't got that far into the design and discussion action implementation, but I hear where you're coming from, actually. City Attorney Pope: So, we're at the point in the hearing where the Council could not only ask the Applicant questions, but to ask the Applicant if he's willing to consider any conditions for approval of the Special Use Permit? So, are you asking him if he would accept the condition that a property owner association would be required for the townhome development? Council Member Sills: Well, if I remember correctly, we've asked that before of other developers, and we've also asked for a class a vegetative buffer and things like that too. Is this when we ask those questions and have that City Attorney Pope: Well, the buffer, you can ask your planner. The buffer is already required by code. If there's some buffer beyond what's required by code, then, yes, this would be where you'Moluld ask for it Council Member Sills: We've also asked for, like, lattice around the dumpsterarea and things like that City Attorney Pope: This would be the time to ask for any condition"'s that ou would like the applicant to consider as a part of approval. Council Member Sills: Mr. Dunn, would you be receptive to having a%ery stringent homeowners association, as well as increased vegetative buffering for the neighbors?'` e Applicant: Yeah. I'm definitely willing to consider it I jus. kcnd of need to quantify what thatis' Right? City Attorney Pope: I don't mean to I don't mean to interruptly,oi `S he property owner association is sufficiently defined. I don't think you can just say vegetative buffafM think you would have to ask him to consider what beyond what is required of the code that you're aski g'-&him, and you may have to ask your Planner about that. Property owner association would be for maintenance of t he common areas 'of the townhomes, which would include grass and bushes and trash and things of thdtnature . _ a i g Applicant: I don't think that tsar unacceptable condition for me, if that's what is being requested. Yes. Thank you. i City Attorney Pope: If youwanCto ask their aboutabu ffer you'may want to get your Planner up here to specify exactly what it is you're asking them to -,consider '' Council Member Shcs: Miss Goodrichl believeYhe term is class a vegetative buffer we've used before. Am I correct or notY164 4 5 Senior Planner Goodrich: For this parnEtilar area, because the zoning the underlying zoning would be residential m�utifamily and rt s surcoundedijibq residential multifamily. There would be no required vegetative buffer by ordi iaaike 1P r Council Member Si Soo, none is required. If we want to support this then... City Attorney Pope: Yes: We need to have that conversation. Before you ask that question, Ms. Goodrich. If you , could stay up here for q�uestions. So, the surrounding properties are also zoned multifamily. Is that what you just Planner: Yes. City Attorney Pope: Okay. Alright. So, yeah. if your Planner has told you that no buffer would be required. If you're going to ask the applicant to consider a buffer between adjoining properties, you'll need to define exactly what it does. Ms. Goodrich, you may want to stay. You may have to help Councilman Sills define what this looks like as far as with the type of buffer that he's asking Mr. Dunn to consider. Council Member Sills: Didn't we do it on Bruce Drive, a class a vegetative buffer? It was trees. It was like azaleas and dogwoods and, like, little bushes that could only grow 5 feet tall. I mean, it was fairly detailed. Council Member Bradham: I don't know what that one's at, what it looks like. Yeah. Council Member Sills: I think to help with some neighbors that have concerns, valid concerns about aesthetics and changing the culture of the neighborhood. The term is Class A vegetative buffer.. City Attorney Pope: That.terminology in the code and the UDO such that you can explain to Mr. Dunn what would be required if that were the condition? Senior Planner Goodrich: I would have to look that up. I can't think of what that would be off the top of my head. But we could specify a number of trees per linear foot, the type of vegetation we want to see. Is it hedge row? Is it tree? Would a fence be for creating this area instead of vegetative buffer? There are a number of things that we could use in a buffer instead of vegetation. But if vegetation is what you want to do, we can certainly talk about a Class A, but I'd have to look that up. Applicant: Yeah. And I think so if I'm kind of hearing the concern, right, the on the backside of the lots, like, it's pretty thick now, like, on the prc side. One of the issues I found, honestly, with vegetative buffers is, like, 1 those have to be maintained on both sides, right, on the back side. Aid North Clinton, there's a fence on her property now as well as a Ime°of tit to see the house from the lot now. I mean, we could always putWi an q side to block that off even more. But it's hard to say. I'm not against that quantifiable. I'm an engineer, so it's numbers and clarification for me. I SO feet, then that may not even make it feasible. So, I just do tknow thi that regard. But I'm open to working with the Planning Board to crea placing a dumpster in an area that's not visible right from the mah `st �_. nice. protected. Because like I said, I own a business a few blocks down; to look ce. �'. --_. Council Member Hargis: I've got a question for t around there, and in the packet here, it says that single family homes, west was a religious instil family homes. X `a'e-a, Planner: I believe I mentioned it was zonal for but it's zoned multi family: l Council Member Hargis: The Planner: Yes. creating' like; some buffer there. So, on pertyrline. Like, you can't see the other ffien3hey're on the property line, right, hen orii�heside for the home that's on shes that a1 e,there. So, it's kind of hard ztra row of fe ce or bushes down that It's just hard to,sywithout something it comes back and, ays,Well, we want specifics of what tosay yes or no to in :e something there;'and then as far as eet, and it's off to the side, it's hidden so I want that section coming in there had said'th#there were multifamily houses areas to the north was a gas station, east was le -£amity home, and then south was single - It's developed as single-family for the most part, for multifamily. Council Member Hargis: Buttheytre single-family homes? Planner: They were developed as single family. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem`Gaulden: Can you repeatthat? I couldn't hear you. Planner: The surrounding area is`ioned multifamily. So, as you go east of Clinton, it's zoned multifamily, but it's developed as single family X., Mayor Pro Tem Gaulden: Thank you Ir City Attorney Pope: If I could return to council. Council Member Sills: Well, I'll tell you what, I'll withdraw the request for the vegetative buffer, but I do appreciate your willingness to compromise on the homeowner's association. Applicant: Absolutely. City Attorney Pope: And I want to clarify, Mr. Dunn, you and you mentioned this that you're willing to accept as a condition of approval that the dumpster would be contained at the rear of the property in an enclosed area? Is that... Applicant: Until I have the actual... I would probably say we would try to make it as less obvious as possible until that actual final site layout is done and where we could actually position it and put it. It's the same thing kind of with businesses like we even deal with the store. Right? We try to hide it as much as we can behind the building. We'll do the best we can. City Attorney Pope: Would you agree as a condition that the dumpster would be in an enclosed area wherever it ends up on the property? Senior Planner Goodrich: Dumpster would not be required. They can have a single-family style trash pickup. City Attorney Pope: Then, would you accept as a condition that if a dumpster were utilized for garbage, that it would be contained in an enclosed area? Applicant: Yes, Ok. Council Member Hargis: One more question for you. So, if all of the otherareas are zoned multi -family, but they're developed as single-family, is that that's what I heard you say, riglitl Planner: That's rightF Council Member Hargis: Right? Planner: That's correct. Council Member Hargis: Why did you not consider that? Applicant: Consider single family? � Council Member Hargis: Mhmmm Applicant: Frankly, the finances of using that piece bflaud are not th`af &rnmmically feasible; to be fully transparent I mean, you've got three (3) lots, and,kou Nt tbtee9(3) single fain ly residences there. I'm not an individual home builder, so that's not what I'm looking to do as an individual. Financially, given that the other afi� side is commercial with agas station and the heat and air and the thing; ifit was purely financial with that route, I'd go commercial. I'd be askitng4or aezoning of commercial. So, to.me, this was a middle ground, both fitting within the community, what around it7;as well as, likefi�nancially for myself. Council Member Dr. Bfadhar not necessary, based on the c Planner: Based•onthisreque Council Member McNeil: I 91 what thaC7neans, you know, f since that s'moC tlrere on Cole Planner: On Cole Street? Council Member Mc tYea about them coming out'bi Cc these, if they are built, would the Planner. Iave'there been any traffic count studies? Or is that I -mean how does that work? e ugh°area to trigger that testion for Stephanie also. I saw in here curb appeal. I don't know iut fwas wondering, would that include, like, curbing and drainage )le. Because this is where he's talking about the driveways. He's thinking t. There's no drainage. There's no sewage over there and curbing. So once part of the curb appeal? Applicant: We haven't got a final site plan design. It's kind of interesting because I actually just drove by on the way here. Like, on the other side of the street, they're just paving it straight to the street. Council Member McNeil: Exactly. That's my question. Because like on North Clinton, there is curbing for sewage and drainage. And when again, there's a sidewalk Right. Down the down the But there's nothing there on Cole. So, I was just wondering, is that part of the curb appeal? Applicant: There would be in the design, it would have a driveway, like Cole Street for access. But I we looked at I kind of theoretically looked at couple of designs. I want to make it look good because you could actually come off Cole Street and come in the front, potentially come in in the back. Until we actually lay that down with an engineer... But it would not be where anybody could drive anywhere off of Cole Street Council Member McNeil: Okay. But my question is sewage, drainage, and curbing, having a curb. I mean curb and gutter. Mayor Pro Tem Gaulden: Yes. There we go. Applicant: Until we get to that part of, like, the soil and water drainage on the side, like, I can't say that None of those ones down the street beside it have it, further down Cole,Street. Council Member McNeil: But you said you wanted to make it look more appealing. That would make it more appealing. Applicant: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I hadn't really thought about that on the side,b ce ause we hadn't got to the engineering design, butwe would consider that as part of the design, I guessils�basically what I'm saying. I don't want to say I can put it there and then something comes up in the design atEd sar, well, no. You can't because it violates some specific code ordinance or something. But I hear where you're coming from on thatside. I will tell 3 keep that place really neat, and I don't know why. There's i anywhere in Dunn for whatever reason. I don't know if it concentrating. But then the people that pull out of there, tlfey mess. Like so I would intend that when we do something, we another building on the corner may stop that itself. They're driving all over my lot, and it makes it look like a mess. City Attorney Pope: So, Council, at this time, if rthere are any use of the land by the applicant, they must be agreed to bythi he has agreed to agree if you approve the Special Use Permit' property owner association for maintenance of the wnhom it would be contained in an enclosed area. Are there any other Special Use Permit. Council Member Tart: I'll tell* house is coming out to Clinton. City Attorney Po work, but I'll deft r.wa Applicaht:,That': that was ar und' design. N Council Member to the correct Actually,,I kind t when you looked at it u Ili t like the way itisnow because we try to are trash just thrown out 'on my lot than I think coming from the gas sta ipmor what, so we're constantly driving over myl'ot, making a muddy 'ould stop that somehow. I dontknow if building ng out of that gas station parking lot, they're :onditidns that you would like to place upon the applicant, n l'itmhst be voluntary. At this time, aY etwo (2) conditions. #1 is that there would be a s,And #2 is that if a dumpster was utilized, that would Iike to ask the applicant to consider as a part of potential to clarify soething.'I mean, I'm looking at the layout, and each ceptual visualization. That's not a site plan as to how that would those pictures there to give a perspective of the buffer and stuff Clinton just here at the end. But that's no actual final site plan Applicant: Because I honestlysdTll be clear with you. Where it looks like there's that driveway that looks down like a strip mall in the front,Tdo not like that. Council Member Tart: I was just wondering how you would get to Cole Street Applicant: Yeah. Council Member Tart: With this layout. Applicant: No. No. No. No. No. Okay. I actually have another 1 where it actually showed some vegetarian buffer along the front of Clinton Street, and then you had, like, a driveway coming off Cole Street So yeah. They would not be driveways like that coming on the front. Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden: Do you have that layout? Because this layout was very confusing. Council Member Hargis: I don't know how we can approve something that we're sent a picture. If you're saying, you know, well, I hadn't thought about that. Well, maybe I will. Well, maybe this would be okay. Well, maybe that's not And then this picture is not exactly so. It's different I don't know how we can approve a Special Use Permit, not knowing what it is exactly that you want to do. Applicant: Yeah. I guess that's really the question. When talking to the Planning Board, like, how far do you go with colors of the walls? Is it brick? Is it vinyl siding? How far do you go before this stage of the valuation as far as the usage of it? I'm totally fine with the couple conditions that were put forward. City Attorney Pope: So, at this time, we're just either asking him questions or asking him any further conditions that you would like for him to consider as apart of your if you were to approve the special use permit. Are there any other questions for mister Dunn? Council Member McNeil: Yes. Materials. I think I saw that here somewhere. What„type of materials would you be using for these? Siding? Applicant: We haven't gotten it out far into the actual building design of the architecture of the building itself yet.'• Council Member McNeil: Okay. Yeah. Those are all things we needlo�cdnsider though. v City Attorney Pope: Any other questions for Mr. Dunn? Are there any other conditions other than the two (2) tlizat he *alreadpgreed to accept that you would like to ask him to consider as a part of your consideration of the Sji �aa, U � P re nit? At this time, Mr. Mayor, it'd be appropriate to entertain a motion totclose the Quasi-judicial hearing. Council Member Sills: So, moved. X g ' Council Member Bradham: Second. Mayor Elmore: Motion by Council Member Sills, sec°um ondedby Condl'Meber Bradham. All in favor say ayesAye " i 'k Mayor Elmore: Any oppo dT (None) Motioncarries.,, x; City Attorney -Pope: Now; Council, you will find on.the first page of your agenda package, there are six (6) individual Findings of Fact Yonmust conside .each of them individually. 0. k You will make a motion to eitherifind thau iatfact has been found or has not been found based on evidence and testimony thawas presented during the hearing. Mayor Elmore: Can Lask a question? me` City Attorney Pope Yes sir - Mayor Elmore: So, is a Special Use Permit applied to the applicant only or does that follow the property to the property itself? City Attorney Pope: It follows the property. So, the first Finding of Fact that you must consider is whether it has been met is that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. So, you will need to either make a motion that the use will not materially endanger or a motion that the use will materially endanger, etcetera, as stated in your package. Council Member Sills: Well, Tilghman, I don't think we have a plan. We've got some conceptual drawings, but we don't have a plan. Now I don't think the conceptual drawings would materially endanger public safety, but we don't have a plan. So if that's so I would motion that it will materially endanger public safety. Would that be the motion? City Attorney Pope: If that's what you think the evidence and testimony supports; then that can be your motion. Mayor Elmore: So, we'll be addressing all six (6) of these items individually? City Attorney Pope: That is correct We'll have individual motions on each one. Mayor Elmore: So, I guess as you go through this, you need to determine if it will or will not materially endanger the property or public health and safety. And that's what that particular motion needs to have a finding of whether it will or will not. Council Member Sills: Well, I mean, conceptually, don't think it would endanger, but I wish there was a plan. So, we can't have it both ways, right? So, we just got to make the motion that it will.or will not materially endanger public safety. Is that correct? City Attorney Pope: You have to make a motion one way or the other. Yes"' y t < Council Member Sills: Alright Well then, I move that the #1 Findings of Facts the use will not materially endanger public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according t`o the plan as submitted or approved. s Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden: Second. ` N-1 Mayor Elmore: Motion by Council Member Sills, second by Ma o , Pro-Tem Gaulden. u V Any further discussion? ti All in favor of the motion that it will not materially endanger the propertyl aye. Aye. _,,�;� Mayor Elmore: Any opposed? The motion carries onihatiothe affirmative. q City Attorney Pope: The god creterja is t}iat the use meets all required standards of the ordinance. Council Member Bradhafh: M'r. Mayor Ff el like on pointtwo (2), that they've done the homework on logistics of it. I will approve number t�o'(2). JV City Attorney Pope That d be a mo, Uo to ppProve x Council Memer Bradham Motion to approve. Yes. City Attary Pope That use meets all ordina e standards of this ordinance. Mayor Elmore: Motion by David that it dodss meet the required standards. Is there a second? Council Member Tar Cecond CA, Mayor Elmore: Second-byBilly Any discussion on that one. So, all in favor of the motion --say aye. I Aye. Mayor Elmore: Any opposed? Okay. That one is approved in the affirmative. City Attorney Pope: The 3rd criteria is that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property. Council Member McNeil: I would deny that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting properties. City Attorney Pope: just to clarify, that would be your motion that the use will substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property? Council Member McNeil: Yes. Mayor Elmore: Motion by Council Member McNeil that it will substantially injure the value of adjoining and abutting properties. Motion by Council Member McNeil. Is there a second on that motion? Council Member Sills: Second. Mayor Elmore: Second by Council Member Sills. Any discussion among the board? Council Member Sills: I think about appraisals and things, it might be hard to quantify this, but it does seem odd that there would be townhouse complex in an existing neighborhood that's got single-family homes. And I think that it would be uncharacteristic where we've allowed that to happen. Where we have put townhouses in mixed use development and homes on small lots and things that's been,on,the ,outskirts of town. We've protected existing neighborhoods. Mayor Elmore: Any further discussion on this? So, a motion has;been trade and seconded that it will substantially injure the value of adjoining and abutting properties. Aft or bfthe motion say aye. r A Aye. Mayor Elmore: Any opposed? The motion carries That it will -not I mean, that it will injurethe value. City Attorney Pope: The 4th criteria is adequate utilities, accessoads, drainage, sanitation, and other necessary facilities have been or are being provided._ y Council Member McNeil: I make a motion that adequate utilities access.roads, especially drainage, sanitation, and other necessary facilities will not be provided So, for me, there's no storm water drainage. Mayor Elmore: There's a motion by Council Member McNeilthat these pa" iu ar items have not been met or being provided at this process. Council Member Sills: Second t I - _ y Mayor Elmore: Second by Council Member Sills. Any discussion? Council Member Sills: I think e all kndvYhow I feel aboutstoFmwater. And historically speaking, through the years on the board, the impervious sunface,draining on the"Cole or Clinton, I think presents a problem. And while certainly engineered plahst4would-ha- 'en drawn up and things. It would be nice to have been comforted by softiemor?n knowledge'of�what storm safer would happen in that area. Mayor Elmore: Okay. So, thereas a otioaand a second on the floor. Is there any further discussion on this matterT All m,favor of the motion.that these items have not been met or provided, say aye. :a Aye. t f Mayor Elmore: An o osed? Y Y� P8� Council Member Bradham;_No#+ Mayor Elmore:, Okay. So let the record show that Mr. Bradham voted against that particular motion. I City Attorney Pope: The 5th finding is that the establishment of the proposed use shall not impede the orderly development and improvement of surrounding property. Council Member Hargis: I don't think I would say that it does not. It does not It does impede the development, the orderly development of the surrounding property since all the other surrounding properties are single family residence. I think it does impede that area. It's not conducive to that community. Council Member Sills: Second. J Mayor Elmore: A motion by Council Member Hargis, seconded by Council Member Sills. And the motion as I understand it is that this will impede orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property. Is that correct? Was that your motion? Okay. Are there any questions or comments on that? So, all in favor of the motion say aye. Aye. Mayor Elmore Any opposed? The motion carries in the affirmative that it will impede orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property. City Attorney Pope: And the 6th finding is that the requested use will be in conformity with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plans. Council Member Sills: Mr. Mayor, I move that the requested use will not be in conformity with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. Council Member McNeil: Second 1 A Mayor Elmore: Motion by Council Member Sills, second by Council,Member McNeil that it will not be in conformity with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. Any discussion?e; Council Member Sills: Mr. Dunn, again, when we talk abourkateways, what does it meaffro be a gateway in the - :V town similar to our other agenda item in the evening? Mhat�'do we wafit? What do we need'fI_& our gateways in the town? And again, when you drive into neighboring towns aroundus in Harnett County'and neighboring counties, it just seems odd what is happening, and it does not look cAducive or inviting, in my opinion. Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden: I just want to piggyback c of building up that area, but there's that but. Then opposed to growth, I'm not opposed to new things the number of townhomes that could possibly gc concerning to me. I know he has good intentions for to look at the neighbors that are around, homeown but at the same time, I just feel like=ifat6eds to be if, homes, that would be different for me 8o I have to that I feel like it should be'azty number afiownhom of what he sard�f do believe that he had good intentions ce single family hom�6s. If it was something else, I'm not omething looking dif, den,I'm not opposed to that. But her'eton that small acre.. It's not even an acre. That is e City�Rbimn'6ven being a business owner, but you have th i are ther'e,�have been there. I know change is good, !xhad an idea of -like, how many, if it was smaller, if it was ,ree with Wes that it's just not right there on, that corner the`re,Mare than what I thought was going to be there. Mayor Elmore: So, any other comments? 0_kay: The motion was made that it will not be in conformity with the city's adoptive comprehensive plans�A11 in avor of the motion say aye. Aye. �,,, Mayor Elm Te: Any opposed?` ,, y Okay. Motion`carrtes that it will notbe in conformity. City Attorney Pope Now based on" he findings of fact, it would be appropriate motion to deny because you have to find all of the findings in the affirmative. The motion as stated in your package. Council Member Sills Mr Mayor, I approve a motion to deny, which I circled and still said approve. Mister Mayor, I move to deny the Special Use Permit, SUP-26-01, to construct townhomes as a Special Use of three (3) parcels. The pins listed in our packet zoned RM residential multifamily as presented. Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden: Second Mayor Elmore: Motion by Council Member Sills, second by Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden to deny the Special Use Permit SUP-26-01 to construct townhomes as a Special Use Permit of three (3) parcels, PINS being 1516-89-4031.000,1516-89-4078.000, and 1516-89-5125.000. Any other questions? Council Member Sills: Mr. Mayor, before we vote, I just wanted to say for the record and for Mr. Dunn, I appreciate him as a businessman. I've shopped at his establishment, recommended friends from different parts of the county to come to his establishment instead of driving to Fuquay or somewhere in Fayetteville to get their hunting supplies and equipment. But again, it goes back to protecting existing neighborhoods and what do we want as our gateways into town. And that's again as a property owner myself, what would I want in my wards and what my neighbors do not want. And I think this Council has been very consistent in supporting property owners of existing neighborhoods to keep those neighborhoods whole and keep them as is. Again, voting down unanimously things of muti-family units, duplexes, triplexes in existing neighborhoods. And I hope that the Council will continue to do that, even when I'm off in the years to come. Council Member McNeil: I would also like to say the same. I am all for growth, also. But I would just like business owners, contractors, whoever to be considerate of our communities. We do want to keep them whole. We want to keep them family like. There is so much land that can be used in Dunn for townhomes and those types of things, but when it comes to our single family homes, we would like to see our communities stay pretty much the way that they are. Because, I mean if you look around and where certain people live, you wouldn't want these things coming into your community either. Mayor Elmore: Any other comments? Okay. There's a motion and a second,to'deny this request. So, I'll call for the vote on that. All in favor for denying say aye. Council: Aye. _ ^e Mayor Elmore: Any opposed? (None) All in favor to deny. Motion unamm'ously approved to deny. Council Member Hargis: Before we go to the next item, I would like to say something to Rodney. I would like to say that you can bring this back, but I don',tthink there's enough,information for us to make an intelligent decision tonight because there were so many things that, well, I don'fk now about this, and I don't know about that. If you're asking for Special Use Permit, it's gotto"hewery specific. Arid whenever you have questions and you don't know and whatever, there are many differetlayouts,of things thatwould probably go. `; Applicant: But so just for transparency. When I went ,it was onresidential�� Council Member Hargis: I can thea(yob,:buddy I m deaf as a doorknob. Applicant: So, when I wen,; iwas zoned residential multifamily. I paid 750 dollars to come here. Do you guys tell me whether it would go" or not versil�being willing to'spend, you know, your thousands of dollars on all of those details for you to, forme to 'e told no again So just as a property owner, that's kind of hard. Council Member fiargis I'mnot sure how that works: I'd have to ask Justin that. Would he be able to apply this to a future request in the' re? d n"•t know. City Manageh,,It's normal for eact applicadon,that comes in. 1 Applicant lfshard for me because'I hear itias, like, neighbors on one side, but when you look at 50, it's like there's, I didn't bear anything abo, J e 50 percent adjacent property that's commercial. Council Member Hargis;=Lhonestlywould like to request that maybe his application, if he does reapply because I don't think he was giverigood advice. I think that whenever he knows he's coming up here for a Special Use Permit our people should tierable to tell him, hey, you're going to have this buttoned up. It's going to have to be pretty tight. And, I don't think we've done that. And, I think thats an injustice. I'll talk to Justin about that in the next week or so. Deputy Finance DirectorAppointment Finance Director Cary McNallan requested authorization to create a Deputy Finance Director position and promote Senior Accountant Alexa Abling to the role. He explained that the Local Government Commission requires only Finance Directors, Deputy Finance Directors, or Assistant Finance Directors to sign contracts and conduct pre -audits to ensure fund availability.

REPORTS & UPDATES City Manager's Report Community Appearance Committee City Manager Hembree reported meeting with the Community Appearance Committee, finding them engaged and ready to undertake projects including landscaping at City Hall, an Adopt -A -Street program, and organizing the Citywide Pickup Day and Litter Sweep. He recommended updating the committee structure to reduce membership from 11 to 7 members and having all members appointed by Council rather than having some appointed by external organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and Garden Club. Council members supported these recommendations and emphasized the importance of consistent staff engagement with the committee. Railroad Building City Manager Hembree provided an update on painting the Railroad building, exp dining that the roof must be repaired before painting to avoid damage during roof installation. Staff are ciir�entiy''obtaining quotes for roof replacement. Commercial Waste Containers ' City Manager Hembree reported that Code Enforcement had completed comprehensive inventory of commercial dumpsters citywide, finding widespread non-compIance with UDO screening requirements. He ,k "� . noted the City itself has two (2) unscreened dumpsters and edi'nmitted to voluntary compliance efforts before formal enforcement. Council Member Hargis suggested providing financial incentives to-, usinesses for compliance, given the significant costs involved and the City's lack of previous enforeement�-=$ � T Residential Waste Containers_, City Manager Hembree explained that the City'entreminder letters about;removing waste containers within 24 hours of collection, with targeted neighborhoods showing higher non compliance rates. Staff plans to use door flyers in problem areas, continuing voluntary complianceefforts befor,`eformal enforcement. Mr. Hembree also addressed major ongoing issues wi yatd waste contamination, where residents put regular trash in yard waste contamerS; This=creates signifcan't problems="at the landfill, requiring weekly staff intervention to separate materials. The situation worsened when the landfill recently required immediate on - site separation during dumping disrupting City operations. Public Works Director Dwayne Wislliamdescribed finding dead animals, needles, and household appliances X,. I mixed with yard waste, creating safety'hazardxf'or staff^ Council members expressed strong concerns about the yard waste program, with Council Member Sills noting his longstanding opposition to the containers and the need for better alternatives. The Council -requested recommendationslfor addressing this issue at the next work session, including potentially opting out of the yard waste collection service entirely. Finance Director McNa114n reported February financial results, showing Cash & Investments of $10.1 million compared to $10.5 mijllurt the'previous year, with $5.6 million designated for East Side Pump Station construction.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION & CALENDARING FOR APRIL 28, 2026 Designated Truck Routes & No Thru Trucks Lieutenant Apelles Hart of the Dunn Police Department presented Part 1 of a two-part presentation on the City's Designated Truck Routes and No -Through -Truck designations. He indicated that this item was for informational purposes only, with no action to be taken at this session, and that Part 2 would be presented at a future Work Session. Lt. Hart explained that a committee consisting of the Assistant City Manager, himself and City Clerk, Melissa Matti, was convened in response to a growing number of complaints about commercial vehicles traveling through residential neighborhoods. Upon review, the committee found that the City's Ordinance currently designates 29 truck routes, which Lt. Hart noted amounts to approximately 40 to 50 percent of City roads, a scope he suggested was likely never the original intent of the designations, which date back roughly 30 years. Lt. Hart provided key definitions to clarify the distinction"between a designated truck route —roads intended for through-commercial-veh cle traffic traversingthe City —and a no -through -truck route, which prohibits commercialthrough-traffic while still permitting vehicles with legitimate local business, such as d_eliverytrucks, to use those roads. He noted that confusion between these two concepts has resulted in some no -through- truck signs being erected on roads that are simultaneously designated as truck routes, creating inconsistencies in both routing and; enforcement, Among the key takeaways presented: once-& established, any other road is inherently a no-thrc as such without additional signage.The.cbrrent la violations, inefficient routing, and enforcement ch; 4 1 °y address proposed route` designations and a pos scheduled for a subsequent�lNork Session./.No matter. i PARTF ted truck routes;)are properly ruck route and can be enforced clarity has contributed to driver es ,_-art2ofthepresentation,to ordinance amendment, will be a4,action was required for this Parks and Recreation Director Beibh'McNeill introduced this item, providing contextthat the City had -previously secured an Accessible Parks (AP) grant for Codrington Park and subsequentlyengaged McAdamsto develop a master plan, both to guide comprehensive redevelopment of the park anid to position the City for additional grant funding. He introduced Eliza Monroe, Project Manager at McAdams, to present the master plan and Xle its findings. g Ms. Monroe outlined the planning process, beginning with an analysis of existing conditions. She noted the park's historical significance —named after Dr. Steve B. Codrington—and identified key site challenges including limited accessibility, the presence of adjacent City -owned parcels that could be incorporated, and a desire to build upon the park's established role as a community gathering place. She described two (2) public engagement events, including a well -attended open house in January, an online survey, and youth input gathered through the Dunn Police Athletic League. Across all input channels, the top community priorities included a children's play area, updated restrooms, seating and gathering spaces, and walking trails. There was also a clear desire for historical and cultural elements to be incorporated into the design. The final concept plan presented by Ms. Monroe centered the park's design around multi - generational use and accessibility. Key proposed elements include a consolidated playground moved to the center of the park, a splash pad, a new picnic shelter with updated restrooms, a hardscaped plaza for outdoor gathering, a picnic grove with shade trees, a memorial garden along Burke Street, exercise stations along a walking trail, a story walk for children, an accessible entrance from the Head Start facility, and opportunities for public art and historical signage. The existing restroom building was proposed to potentially remain as a mural feature. Ms. Monroe then outlined funding opportunities made possible by the master plan. The AP grant has already been awarded for certain site improvements. The plan also makes the park eligible for the Park and Recreation Trust FUnd;(PARTF) grant, with a May 1 application deadline, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), with a November deadline. She noted that the two grantscan:complement one another, with LWCF potentially used to satisfy the one-to,dne/match required for PARTF. The maximum PARTF award is $500,000 (requirinNI gI $50Q000-local match), and the LWCF maximum is $750,000. 3 `E Council discussion followed regardingthi Justin Hembree clarified that the FY27 $250,000 as a Local match for the,P,ARTF match over two fiscal years, if -, the 'mE expressed broad support for moving`,foR the significance of the potential Local\co prohibitingthe Council -from -taking actior financial commitment`inJolved.

Sale of41,f North MagnoliiAvenue\ Assistant City'Maria ger it Godwin -presented a discussion on a received offer to purchase City -owned pro pertyiat 411 North Magnolia Avenue, a residential structure Located approximately three'(3) to four (4) blocks north of City Hall. The City received two (2) offers on the pro -el ;,the higher of the two, at $40,000, was brought before the Council. Mr. Godwin explained that the standard process for selling local government property of this type is the upset bid procedure, whereby the initial offer is treated as a bid, published in the newspaper, and held open for ten-day periods during which third parties may submit qualifying higher bids. Once the bid period closes without an upset, the Council would determine at a subsequent meeting whether to finalize the sale. Mr. Godwin noted that the City had previously declared the property surplus and authorized demolition, but that action was paused when interest from potential developers emerged. Council discussion raised several significant considerations. Council Member Tart asked aboutthe property's condition and whether it had been formally condemned. Mr. Godwin clarified it had not been condemned through the building code process, though it is in poor condition. Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden noted that the City itself had allowed the property to sit in disrepair for at least two (2) years while owning it and urged the Council to be reasonable about expectations for a new owner's timeline for rehabilitation. Council Member Sills raised concerns about the extent of inspections and permits that any rehabilitation would require. The most substantive discussion centered on the relationship between this property and the City -owned house on Townsend Street, which is adjacent to Codrington Park and intended to be moved as part of the park's redevelopment. Mayor Elmore and several council members expressed concern that selling411 North Magnolia Avenue —identified as potentially one of the closest and most suitable vacant lots to which the Townsend Street house could be relocated —could foreclose that option before the Council had sufficient information. Mr. Godwin acknowledged that,a preliminary estimate suggested } moving the Townsend Street house would costa minimum of approximately$30,000, not including engineering, foundation work, or utility,line;relocation. He also confirmed that at least one (1) additional developer had expre_ ssed£interest in acquiring the Townsend Street house. ��a Council consensus was to defer action oft411,North Magnolia Avenue and direct staff to return with more specific cost information -the,,cost todemolish the'structure at 411 North Magnolia Avenue, the full estimated cost to-move°the Townsend Street house to that lot, and confirmation of whetherthe Townsend Street house footprint would fit on the Magnolia Avenue lot. No formal vote.was taken o'h th'is item. Yard Waste Discussion — Assistant City Manager Godwin introduced this'item summarizing the ongoing problem of residents placing' household trash Ninto'City-issued yard waste carts. The contaminated yard `waste, when delivered to the landfill's LCID (Land Clearing and Inert Debris) site, cannot legalty,befmixed with trash under State regulations. The result has been that th P bLic Woks Directorasd..members of his team have been required to travelxothe landfill=twice per week to manually` separate trash from yard waste —at one point requiring the use of,an excavator —diverting significant Public Works labor from other duties\Mr. Godwin noted that the landfill operator had warned Republic Services that continued'contamination-could jeopardize the City's ability to use that site for yard waste disposals=\ j Joe Daner, Local Manager for' Republic Services, presented a proposed enhanced screening plan. The core elements included: (1) new decals affixed to cart lids clearly Listing acceptable and unacceptable materials; (2) transitioning from a single -driver collection to a two -person crew, with the second employee dedicated to inspecting every cart lid before it is dumped; (3) improved documentation of non -compliant households, with reporting to the City after each route; and (4) an enforcement mechanism whereby residents receive one (1) warning and, upon a second offense, have theiryard waste cart removed. Mr. Daner noted that cameras in the collection truck hoppers provide an additional documentation tool. He estimated the enhanced screening would cost approximately $1.86 more per unit per month, applied city-wide. He projected that two to three months of enhanced screening and enforcement would be sufficient to bring contamination to a manageable level, while acknowledging the program would require ongoing maintenance as residents turn over. Council discussion was substantive. Several members expressed discomfort with charging all residents an additional fee to address non-compliance by a relatively small number of households. There was broad agreement on the need for an enforcement component, with Council Member Hargis and. others suggesting that removing a cart without a corresponding fine or mechanism to address ongoing yard waste generation did not fully solve the problem —removing carts would likely result in yard waste being Left in the street for public works to collect. Council Member Hargis and Mayor Pro Tern Gaulden both suggested that a formal fine or civil penalty ordinance could be a more effective deterrent. City Attorney Tilghman Pope noted the challenge posed by tenant turnover at rental properties. City Manager Hembree recommended that, rather than taking formal action that evening, staff should immediately begin public educationA. orts, work closely with code enforcement and Republic Services to conduct activ6'_ orcement on routes over the coming weeks, and return to the Councilatthe next. regular=meeting with a more specific recommendation, including budgetaryimpactYandaan implementation plan. The Council concurred with this approach. FY27 Budget Discussion Finance Director Cary McNallanpresented apreLiminarybudgetsnap hotforFiscalYear 2027, emphasizing that this was not,yet a rec mmended;'budget, whichwitl be delivered by May 31.

Council members expressed anding appeals, particularly given the magnitude of 's experienced. City Attorney Pope noted that while nappealrequires demonstrating thatthe assessed may limit successful appeals given recent market Revenue Neutral Rate As dquired in a revaluation year, Mr. McNallan presented the Revenue Neutral Tax Rate which would be approximately $0.40, a reduction of $0.14 from the current rate. Council consensus was that adopting a revenue neutral rate was not feasible given current expenditure demands. Mr. MCNallan also noted a potential State Legislative discussion around freezing property values, though nothing had been passed, and any action was expected to affect future years rather than the current budget cycle. Expenditures. Total new expenditures for FY27 are projected at approximately $1.7 million. Key cost drivers include salary adjustments (a recommended 3.5% base increase with 0-2% merit), State -mandated Retirement Rate increases (approximately 0.75% for general employees, 1% for police employees), a 2.4% State Health Plan Assessment increase on top of existing premiums, anticipated 10% health plan premium increases effective January 1, a $113,060 (5%) increase in the Republic Services sanitation contract (This will likely be reduced to 4% based on the contract), a $50,000 contribution to the StewartTheatre, and the $250,000 Codrington Park PARTF match. The Rooms To Go economic incentive obligation —approximately $301,000—concluded this fiscal year, effectively offsettingthe prioryear's fund balance appropriation. Revenues. Total Projected Revenue increase is just under $1.8 million, yielding an estimated reserve balance addition of approximately $7,470 for FY27, a stark contrast to the $303,000 drawn from reserves in FY26, but still a very narrow margin. Other revenue Lines show modest movement: Sales Tax Revenues up $150,000, State Utility Tax up $45,000, the ABC store contribution down $75,000, Interest Income decreasing modestly, and a $120,000 Governor's Highway Safety Grant removed from the budget, after it was not awarded. Capital and Equipment Needs. Vehicle and department heads totaled approximately$936 funds.

Utility Rates. Proposed utility rate adjust entsawould result in an increase of approximately $14-.114zper month for a household using 5,000 gallons, comprising a Water Usage Rate increase, a Sewer Rate increase, and a modest Garbage Collection increase. The -Base Water`Rate is.pr posed to=remain unchanged. Stormwater Fee&. Pjoposed� stormwater - fee adjustments would generate approximately $55,000Jn additional annual revenue, with residential customers paying approximately $3.00 more peryear These fees are added to Countytax bills. Next Steps. Mr. McNallan recommended that the Public Hearing on the FY27 budget be held on June 9, with, adoption occurring that same evening. The recommended budget must be submitted by,May31'. City Manager Hembree announced that individual or paired one-on-one budget meetings with Council members would be scheduled within the coming week to ten (1'0) days to allow for deeper review prior to the recommended budget's release. REPORTS & UPDATES City Manager's Report Upcoming Agenda Items City Manager Hembree noted that upcoming agenda items discussed during the work session would be calendared forthe April28 regular meeting as appropriate. Updates City Manager Hembree shared a drone photograph of the East Side Pump Station construction site, noting significant progress.

Hembree noted this represents the final major SOC (Sewer Overflow Compliance) project, and the City remains on track to emerge from its SOC obligations in early 2027. City Manager Hembree reported that the City's street resurfacing project is progressing well. The contractor, Halyan, has transitioned from patching work to full milling and paving operations. Public Works Director Duane Williams and his team have been actively on -site and are pleased with the contractor's performance. The project is expected to continue through the remainder of April, ,May, and June, with the next resurfacing phase to follow. �c , ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Elmore announced that: • The next Regular City Council me( • The next Work Session is schedul. • He encouraged Council members interested constituents in their received on an ongoing basis.

Godwin, Assistant City Manager Responsible Staff: City Manager Action Item: Yes Attachment(s): Republic Services Presentation Background At the April 14, 2026, Work Session Meeting, Republic Services (RS) presented City Council with a plan to address the ongoing issues with yard waste cans being contaminated with regular trash. The multi -tiered enhanced screening plan is designed to eliminate the twice -weekly need for Public Works personnel to manually separate trash from yard waste at the County landfill and would: • Place an informational decal on every yard waste can. • Add a second crew RW member to screen all cans before dumping into the truck. • Tag, document, and not empty contaminated cans. • Remove the contaminated can upon the 2nd violation. During implementation, the City would be proactive to ensure public awareness of the plan's requirements. RS estimates a 90 day window for the plan to start showing results but the enhanced screening would remain for the duration. The plan would add $1.86 cost per yard waste unit to cover the additional RS manpower required. Where yard waste cans have been removed, no fees would be reduced because yard waste service would still be provided albeit by the City rather than RS. Budget Impact An additional$1.86 per yard waste can. Staff Recommendation(s) To adopt the plan proposed by RS. Page 1 of 2 Suggested Motion(s) Motion to adopt the enhanced screening plan presented by Republic Services; amend the 2025 Fee Schbdule to add $1.86 per yard waste unit; and authorize the City Manager to sign any requisite modifications to the City's contract with Republic Services.
