Sarah Arbour, Planner II, petitioned the Board for a public hearing on Proposed Zoning Change: Case #
PLAN2412-0001 Landowner / Applicant: TFD, Inc. / Johnathan Tucker; 8.50 +/- acres; Pin # 0654-59-
0569.000; From RA-30 to Commercial Zoning District; Hectors Creek Township; Intersection of SR #
1415 (Rawls Church Road) & US Hwy 401 N. The property is a vacant, unimproved site previously
used for agricultural purposes. The center of the site, once wooded, has recently been cleared. The
property is situated along the Norfolk Southern Railroad, a 100’ railway right-of-way and intersects the
western property line. A petition to rezone the property to Commercial was denied by the Board of
Commissioners in December 2023. Several neighboring property owners expressed concerns regarding
the potential traffic impacts if this property were developed for commercial use. A traffic light has since
been installed at the intersection of U.S. 401 N. and Rawls Church Road. Surrounding land uses consist
of single-family residences and various non-residential uses including agricultural activities, a religious
institution, and a turf and tractor supply facility. In 2022, +/- 72 acres of adjacent land was zoned

Commercial. Since the property was rezoned, Revels Turf & Tractor has relocated their facility from
Fuquay-Varina to Rawls Church Rd. The recent zoning change has spurred commercial growth and
signifies a trend of non-residential development in the area.
Staff’s evaluation:
• The property is located in an area with a variety of non-residential land uses. Recently, the
area has experienced additional commercial development as a result of the rezoning of a
nearby property to Commercial.
• The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district are in the interest of the general public.
The property is classified as Employment Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map, a land use
designation for areas of the county which have been identified for economic development
potential. The property has access to a major thoroughfare, US HWY 401 N., a signalized
intersection, and utility services.
• The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district would be appropriate in the area
included in the proposed change. The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district are
compatible with the nearby commercial land uses and properties zoned Commercial.
Additionally, the property has a future land use classification of Employment Mixed Use,
which is a development node for areas along major thoroughfares prime for development
opportunities.
• The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district are compatible with nearby non-
residential land uses and potential future commercial development on the property recently
zoned Commercial located on Rawls Church Rd. and US 401 N.
• The requested zoning district is compatible with the future land use classification,
Employment Mixed Use. The Employment Mixed Use Future Land Use classification
supports commercial development along major thoroughfares throughout the county.
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community based on compatibility with the future land use plan. It is
recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
At the Planning Board meeting on February 3, 2025, the board voted unanimously (4-0) to approve the
requested rezoning to Commercial. The board found that the requested rezoning was compatible with
the surrounding land uses and the future land use classification, Employment Mixed Use.
One resident spoke at the Planning Board Meeting. The resident asked whether turn lanes would be
required on Rawls Church Rd. and U.S. 401 N. if the property were developed for commercial purposes
and then stated that they did not wish to see the property developed as a Dollar General store.
Vice Chairman Morris opened the public hearing. The following people spoke in favor of the requested
rezoning:
1. Johnathan Tucker, applicant, 141 Country Haven Lane, Fuquay Varina, NC spoke in favor of the
request.

2. Jeff Zimmer of Fuquay Varina spoke in favor of the request.
3. Kimberly Pruitt of 135 Country Haven Lane, Fuquay Varina spoke in favor of the request.
4. Paula Hively of Angier spoke in favor of the request.
The following people spoke against the proposed rezoning:
1. Johnny Shanton of 492 Hilliard Road, Fuquay Varina spoke against the request.
2. Kevin Matthews of 5363 Rawls Church Road, Fuquay Varina spoke against the request.
3. Kate Foley of Jared Drive, Fuquay Varina spoke against the request.
No one else spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Jaggers made a motion to place the Proposed Rezoning Change: Case # PLAN2412-0001
for voting on the next agenda so that all five members are present. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Matthews and carried unanimously.
Chairman Morris stated the Proposed Zoning Change: Case # PLAN2412-0001 Landowner / Applicant:
TFD, Inc. / Johnathan Tucker; 8.50 +/- acres; Pin # 0654-59-0569.000; From RA-30 to Commercial
Zoning District; Hectors Creek Township; Intersection of SR # 1415 (Rawls Church Road) & US Hwy
401 N will be added as an action item for the Work Session scheduled for February 25, 2025 at 9:00 am.
Ms. Arbour petitioned the Board for a public hearing on Proposed Zoning Change: # PLAN2501-0001
Landowner / Applicant: CLCA, LLC-Chris Patterson / C Gregory Bagley; 4.03 +/- acres; Pin # 0610-88-
7283.000; From RA-20R to Commercial Zoning District; Upper Little River Township; Intersection of
US Hwy 421 N & SR # 1265 (Cool Springs Road). The property is a vacant, unimproved site previously
used for agricultural purposes. The site has frontage along US 421 N. and Cool Springs Rd. The
property is located in a mixed-use area. Surrounding land uses consist of single-family residences,
agricultural activities, and various non-residential uses. A Family Dollar, Dollar General, gas station,
health clinic, and the Boone Trail Fire Department are located within a .10 of a mile of the subject
property. The property is located in a mixed-use area with existing commercial and non-residential uses.
Properties with a Commercial zoning designation are located directly across from the subject property
on the south side of US 421 N. The requested zoning district is compatible with the underlying land use,
Rural Center. This land use classification is a development node that encourages commercial land uses
and economic development throughout the county. The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district
are compatible with the underlying land use. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted
under the proposed zoning district classification would be appropriate in the area included in the
proposed change. The uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district are compatible with the
surrounding and nearby commercial land uses. Additionally, the property has access to a major
thoroughfare and water service and is located in a Rural Center Development Node. There is a
convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be materially and adversely
affected by the uses permitted in the requested zoning district. The uses permitted in the Commercial
zoning district are compatible with the nearby non-residential land uses. Further, the neighborhood may
experience benefits from future commercial development such as an increase in employment

opportunities and local investment. The requested zoning district is compatible with the future land use
classification, Rural Center. The Rural Center Use Future Land Use classification supports small scale,
market-driven commercial centers. As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial
would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community based on compatibility with the
future land use plan. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
At the Planning Board Meeting on February 3, 2025, the board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend
approval of the proposed rezoning from the RA-20R to Commercial zoning district. The board found
that the requested rezoning is compatible with the land use classification, Rural Center. There was no
one present to speak in opposition.
Vice Chairman Morris opened the public hearing and the following person spoke:
Greg Bagley of 225 Southern Magnolia Lane, Fuquay Varina spoke in favor of the request.
No one else spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Jaggers made a motion to approve the Proposed Zoning Change: # PLAN2501-0001
Landowner / Applicant: CLCA, LLC-Chris Patterson / C Gregory Bagley; 4.03 +/- acres; Pin # 0610-88-
7283.000; From RA-20R to Commercial Zoning District; Upper Little River Township; Intersection of
US Hwy 421 N & SR # 1265 (Cool Springs Road). The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Matthews and the motion carried unanimously. (Attachment 1)
Discuss and consider the City of Dunn’s funding request regarding the 2025 Diamond Youth Baseball
AA World Series. Brent Trout, County Manager, stated I have had a conversation with Ms. Elmore
regarding this issue. The issue we are looking at is some cost related to additional police and EMS time
that they will need during the event. The Board can wait until the next budget to approve this as the
event happens in July. We can make the contribution and move it through the normal budget process
rather than take from something else or fund balance. We have had a history of not necessarily funding
nonprofit organizations, given that most of the expense that was relayed to me that they are looking at
having us cover is related to the City of Dunn, we could look at a contribution to the City of Dunn to
support the event. Commissioner Jaggers made a motion to include the request in a line item in the next
budget. Commissioner Matthews seconded the motion. Councilmember Matthews asked what the total
request was and Mr. Trout stated $40,000. Mr. Trout stated they showed me expenses related to the
hours that would be worked by EMS and law enforcement personnel. We can provide that information
as we go through the budget process. Additional discussion included tourism benefits. Commissioner
Jaggers amended his motion to include approval of the request to be included in the upcoming budget to
the City of Dunn for expenses related to EMS and Law Enforcement personnel for the 2025 Diamond
Youth Baseball AA World Series. The amended motion was seconded by Commissioner Matthews and
carried unanimously.
Mr. Trout shared they met with the Board of Elections a week or so ago and from that discussion they
made the decision that they would take the addition of new office space that we were offering in the
building on Alexander Avenue and so the Board of Elections will be moving into there and we will have
Fleet, Solid Waste and Capital Projects Departments move to where the Board of Elections is now next

to Harnett Regional Water. This will provide them with the opportunity to get all their items under one
roof. It will also provide a better location for them as it is handicap accessible and have additional space.
Assistant Manager, Mike Morrow, will be coordinating that move with them.
Mr. Trout introduced Mr. Tommy Burns, who started today as our new Harnett Regional Water
Director. We are excited to have him. Mr. Trout thanked Seann Bryd for serving as Interim Director.
Mr. Trout stated I think Tommy and Seann are going to make a great team.
Mr. Trout stated I will be signing a document that will be transferring Phase 2 project for internet access
that was previously with Cloudwyze. Ripple Fiber has bought Cloudwyze and they will be assuming that
contract for Phase 2.
Mr. Trout shared we are continuing to move forward with the bond sale process related to Flatwoods
Middle School. Staff will be taking a trip to New York to meet with Standard and Poor and Moody’s to
ensure we keep our bond capacity or maybe even get an upgrade in our bond status.
Mr. Trout stated we have some weather coming in this week, stay tuned for announcements related to
closings and/or delays.
Discussion of the Mid-Carolina Regional Council of Delegates was deferred to the February 25th work
session.
Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to approve the budget amendments as requested by the Finance
Officer. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jaggers and carried unanimously. (Attachment 2)
Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to approve the tax rebates, refunds and releases as requested by
the Tax Administrator. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jaggers and carried unanimously.
(Attachment 3)
Mr. Trout reviewed a request for the approval of Harnett Regional Water Write-offs as of September
2024. All of these accounts have been delinquent for more than three years and total $184,085.36. The
facilitation of these write-offs is an important step in a continuing effort to effectively manage our
collections and bad debt. HRW is currently using the Local Government Debt Setoff Program and On-
Line Collections, Inc. to help collect our delinquent accounts. We are happy to report that we have
recovered over $893,424.08 in bad debt previously written off through the Debt Setoff Program.
Commissioner Jaggers made a motion to approve the Harnett Regional Water Write-offs as of
September 2024. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Matthews. Commissioner Jaggers stated
this money is still collectable, I would like to get that on the record. Mr. Trout stated yes, it is, it is an
accounting step and it is still collectable. The motion carried unanimously.
Vice Chairman Morris stated I got to looking at the flooding issue with Riverside. Everything from 1779
Bunnlevel Rd to the Cape Fear River is corporate owned, have we sent a letter to them stating their
ditches have not been maintained. Coley Price, Deputy County Manager, stated we are doing that right
now and will be doing surveys to pinpoint exactly where that is at.

Kimberly Honeycutt, Finance Officer, reviewed a request for the Board to consider the adoption
of a Resolution Authorizing Installment Financing Contract for the Construction of Flatwoods
Middle School and calling for a Public Hearing on the Contract. Consensus of the Board was to
place this item on the next consent agenda.
Brent Trout, County Manager, reviewed a request regarding reimbursement of system
development and tap fees for Veteran’s Farm Project. Veteran's Farm of NC, Inc is requesting a
reimbursement of system development and tap fees in the amount of $21,000. The
reimbursement would be for five connections to our system for homes they are building on their
property. They are currently developing a housing area for veterans that are working on the farm.
Consensus of the Board was to place this item on the next consent agenda.
Mr. Trout stated there has been an organization that has been working towards creating a Harnett
County Historical Museum. Individuals were here at Public Comment a couple meetings ago,
talking about the need for that. That group has been getting organized, they are not really where
they need to be and the idea brought forward by them was that it would make further progress if
the county was to create a historical commission where we would do appointments to that
commission. They have a number of artifacts that they need a location for and are currently in a
space at the Lillington Museum. This would help work towards creating a formal organization.
There was money put aside in one of the fundings from OSBM grants. Getting them formalized
would allow them to take that money and work towards continuing to protect the artifacts and
then formalizing them so they would have a good organization. Consensus of the Board was to
allow staff to work with Vice Chairman Morris and the members of the group to establish a
framework, bylaws, purpose etc.
The Board reviewed applications to serve on boards and committees. Consensus of the group
was to place the reappointment of Donna Wood, District 5 member, to the Harnett County
Planning Board on the next consent agenda. The Board requested additional information
concerning the Jury Committee including current members.
Mr. Trout provided information regarding the Mid-Carolina Regional Council of Delegates. The
Mid-Carolina Board of Directors took action to establish/re-establish a Board of Delegates for
the Council. The Board of Directors wants to foster more opportunities for elected officials from
across the region to engage with each other, share best practices, network, and collaboratively
identify strategies for addressing shared challenges. The Mid-Carolina Regional Council Board
of Delegates will consist of one elected official from each member government. The plan is for
the Board of Delegates to meet four times per year, with the first meeting being the Council’s
Annual Meeting and Regional Dinner on March 27, 2025. Currently, Commissioner Matthews
serves on the Mid-Carolina Board of Directors. Commissioner Jaggers volunteered to serve on
the Mid-Carolina Regional Council of Delegates. Following some discussion, consensus of the
Board was to appoint Commissioner Jaggers to serve as Harnett County’s delegate for the Mid-
Carolina Regional Council of Delegates.

extending the landfill hours on Saturday by two hours and will include in the upcoming budget
funds to extend the landfill hours until 4:00 pm on Saturdays.
Commissioner Matthews made a motion to adjourn the Board of Commissioners at 9:24 am.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF HARNETT,
NORTH CAROLINA, AUTHORIZING THE NEGOTIATION OF AN INSTALLMENT
FINANCING CONTRACT, DIRECTING THE PUBLICATION OF NOTICE WITH RESPECT
THERETO, DECLARING THE INTENT OF THE COUNTY TO REIMBURSE ITSELF FOR
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FROM PROCEEDS THEREOF, AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN
OTHER RELATED MATTERS THERETO
WHEREAS, the County of Harnett, North Carolina (the “County”) is a validly existing political
subdivision, existing as such under and by virtue of the Constitution, statutes and laws of the State of North
Carolina (the “State”);
WHEREAS, the County has the power, pursuant to the General Statutes of North Carolina to
(1) enter into installment contracts to purchase, or finance or refinance the purchase of, real or personal
property and to finance or refinance the construction or repair of fixtures or improvements on real property
and (2) create a security interest in some or all of the property financed or refinanced to secure repayment
of the purchase price;
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the County to finance the construction, equipping, and
furnishing of school facilities in the County (the “2025 Project”), including, but not limited to, Flatwoods
Middle School (the “School”);
WHEREAS, the Harnett County Public Facilities Corporation (the “Corporation”) will assist the
County by the execution and delivery of its Limited Obligation Bonds (the “2025 Bonds”) to finance the
2025 Project;
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the County to finance the 2025 Project by entering into (1)
an Installment Financing Contract (the “Contract”) with the Corporation, and (2) a Deed of Trust, Security
Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) related to the County’s fee simple interest in the real
HCBOC 030325 Revised Pg. 83
PPAB 11973576v2
property on which the School will be located, together with all improvements and fixtures thereon
(collectively, the “Mortgaged Property”), that will provide security for the County’s obligations under the
Contract;
WHEREAS, the Corporation will execute and deliver its 2025 Bonds in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $91,000,000, evidencing proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain
Revenues (as defined in the Contract) pursuant to the Contract;
WHEREAS, financing the 2025 Project is essential to the County’s proper, efficient and economic
operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants; financing the 2025 Project will provide
an essential use and has and will permit the County to carry out public functions that it is authorized by law
to perform; and that entering into the Contract and Deed of Trust is necessary and expedient for the County
by virtue of the findings presented herein;
WHEREAS, the Contract would allow the County to finance the 2025 Project and take title thereto
at a favorable interest rate currently available in the financial marketplace and on terms advantageous to
the County;
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of financing the 2025 Project, including payment of the costs of
execution and delivery of the Contract, is an amount not to exceed $91,000,000 and such cost exceeds the
amount that can be prudently raised from currently available appropriations, unappropriated fund balances
and non-voted bonds that could be issued by the County in the current fiscal year pursuant to Article V,
Section 4 of the Constitution of the State;
WHEREAS, although the cost of financing the 2025 Project pursuant to the Contract is expected to
exceed the cost of financing the 2025 Project pursuant to a bond financing for the same undertaking, the
cost of financing the 2025 Project pursuant to the Contract and Deed of Trust and the obligations of the
County thereunder are preferable to a general obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for
several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to
approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the State, would result in the
expenditure of significant funds; (2) the time required for a general obligation bond election would cause
an unnecessary delay which would thereby decrease the financial benefits of financing, constructing, and
improving the 2025 Project; and (3) the 2025 Project would produce insufficient revenues to permit a
revenue bond financing;
WHEREAS, the estimated costs of financing the 2025 Project pursuant to the Contract reasonably
compares with an estimate of similar costs under a bond financing for the same undertaking as a result of
the findings delineated in the above preambles;
WHEREAS, any future property tax increase, if necessary, to pay installment payments falling due
under the Contract will not be excessive;
WHEREAS, the sums to fall due under the Contract will be adequate but not excessive for its
proposed purpose;
WHEREAS, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as bond counsel (“Bond Counsel”), will render
an opinion to the effect that entering into the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby are
authorized by law;
HCBOC 030325 Revised Pg. 84
PPAB 11973576v2
WHEREAS, no deficiency judgment may be rendered against the County in any action for its breach
of the Contract, and the taxing power of the County is not and may not be pledged in any way directly or
indirectly or contingently to secure any money due under the Contract;
WHEREAS, the County is not in default under any of its debt service obligations;
WHEREAS, the County’s budget process and Annual Budget Ordinance are in compliance with the
Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act, and external auditors have determined that the County
has conformed with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units in preparing
its Annual Budget ordinance;
WHEREAS, past audit reports of the County indicate that its debt management and contract
obligation payment policies have been carried out in strict compliance with the law, and the County has not
been censured by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the “LGC”), external auditors or any
other regulatory agencies in connection with such debt management and contract obligation payment
policies;
WHEREAS, a public hearing on the Contract after publication of a notice with respect to such public
hearing must be held, and approval of the LGC with respect to entering into the Contract must be received;
WHEREAS, the County will incur and pay certain expenditures (the “Original Expenditures”) in
connection with the 2025 Project prior to the date of execution and delivery of the Contract, such Original
Expenditures to be paid for originally from a source other than the proceeds of the Contract, and the County
intends, and reasonably expects, to be reimbursed for such Original Expenditures from a portion of the
proceeds of the Contract; and
WHEREAS, all findings, conclusions and determinations of the County in this Resolution are
subject to modification or affirmation after all interested parties have been afforded the opportunity to
present their comments at a public hearing regarding the execution and delivery of the Contract, the Deed
of Trust, and the 2025 Project financed thereby.
