Mayor Glenn McFadden recognized Landon Chandler, Planning Director.
Mr. Chandler stated Thank you, Mr. Mayor, board members. First case we have on the agenda for you tonight isa request for variance. It's going to be case number BOA-26-02 Applicant is going to be K and B Building LLC, and the location, as previously said, is unaddressed or
unassigned on East Washington Street. Zoning is currently RS10 on site. This was approved
recently by the board, and the acreage is going to be plus or minus 0.15 acres. What we have for you tonight, if you look at the aerial photo, there is the variance to minimum lot size for the purpose of construction of a residential home site. You'll see in the land use classification map,
Lillington Board of Commissioners July 14, 2026
we do have single-family residential there, and transportation is good. We have good site distances along East Washington Street, and annual daily traffic count is not available. As
alluded to earlier, 832 does authorize the board to be able to grant a variance of up to 40% in this
particular zoning jurisdiction. You could go down to roughly 6000 square feet. This parcel is coming in around 6,708 So this is available to do with variance. I do have supplied for you plot plans, kind of showing the product that would be put there if approved, and we do have some site photos for you. And staff is going to be available for any questions or comment at this time.
S Mayor McFadden asked if there were any questions from the Board for Mr. Chandler?
Commissioner Langdon asked if this case was for Lot #1. Mr. Chandler responded that yes, this case is for Lot #1 and the next case will be for Lot #2.
Mayor McFadden – Would anyone else like to speak on behalf of this?
Yes, my name is Keith Brown. I'm the owner of KMB Builders and I live at 804 Coley Farm Road in Fuquay-Varina. I built several houses around the town, I have some right at the corner of South 6th Street and 421. We do some low-income housing. These houses
going to be two-bedroom houses. Nice finishes. We still do the granite carry on the windows,
stuff like that. We're going to be a two-bedroom something that can sell for about $200,000- 220,000 is what we're trying to do. We're doing some in Lillington area and we'll do some all around the area. I built about 25 homes in around the city limits here, so we build them all the time. We're trying to just keep stuff under $300,000 Most of the homeowners we get are people
wanting to downsize homes, and we're getting a lot of 22 year olds, 25 year olds, 24 year
olds, 27 year olds. We've sold several of these this year, and we're getting people that are graduating from college and this is their first home that they can afford, and that's what we're looking to do over here. Is just you know bring some more affordability, something to $200,000 you know $215,000 range, something that we can sell that you know everybody, younger people
can afford.
Mayor McFadden - Any questions from the Board for Mr. Brown? Thank you. Anyone else like to be heard in the public hearing?
With no additional comments, Mayor Glenn McFadden closed the Public Hearing at 6:08 p.m.
Item #8A Approval of the Request for Variance, in Accordance with UDO Section 8.03.2 B-2 for PIN #: 0559-47-3431.000 on E Washington Street
Mayor Glenn McFadden stated that in order to grant a variance it requires findings of fact have to be met in accordance with Section 7.09 of the UDO. 1. Carrying out the strict letter of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship. It shall not be necessary to demonstrate that, in the absence of the variance, no
reasonable use can be made of the property.
Lillington Board of Commissioners July 14, 2026
A motion was made by Commissioner Langdon to approve Findings of Fact number one. The Motion was seconded by Commissioner Babb and approved unanimously.
2. The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as location,size or topography. Hardships resulting from personal circumstances, as well as hardshipsresulting from conditions that are common to the neighborhood or the general public,may not be the basis for granting a variance. A variance may be granted when necessary
and appropriate to make a reasonable accommodation under the Federal Fair Housing Act
for a person with a disability.
A motion was made by Commissioner Babb to approve Findings of Fact number two. The Motion was seconded by Commissioner McPhail and approved unanimously.
3. The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant of the property owner.The act of purchasing property with knowledge that circumstances exist that may justifythe granting of a variance shall not be regarded as a self-created hardship.
A motion was made by Commissioner McPhail to approve Findings of Fact number three. The
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Babb and approved unanimously.
4. The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of theLillington Unified Development Ordinance, such that the public safety is securedand substantial justice is achieved.
A motion was made by Commissioner Moss to approve Findings of Fact number four. The
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Page and approved unanimously.
Mr. Chandler stated to the Board if you would like, you can also take a vote on the overall approval, since it does appear that all four findings of fact were approved.
A motion was made by Commissioner McPhail to approve the Request for Variance, in Accordance with UDO Section 8.03.2 B-2 for PIN#: 0559-47-3431.000. Commissioner Langdon seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
Item #9 Quasi-Judicial Hearing for a Request for Variance, in Accordance with UDO Section 8.03.2 B-2 for PIN #: 0559-47-3379.000 on E Washington Street
Mayor Glenn McFadden opened the Public Hearing at 6:12 p.m.
Mayor Glenn McFadden recognized Landon Chandler, Planning Director.
Mr. Chandler, welcome back. Thank you, sir. Next item on the agenda is going to be pretty much the carbon copy of what you just saw on the last case. This case number is BOA-26-03. This applicant is going to be Kenneth McLaughlin Construction LLC. Owner of property is Ricky
Day. It is currently unassigned on East Washington Street, in terms of address lot sizes, again
0.15 plus or minus, and there is a variance request to the minimum lot size for the purpose of
Lillington Board of Commissioners July 14, 2026
construction. We do have for you an aerial photo as well as your land use classification map. Again, this is slated for single family residential within the town's future land use, and this one is
currently zoned RS-10. Much like other parcels, the parcel is also vacant, and annual daily traffic
counts are unavailable. However, site distances are on site. With that being said, like I said, this is exactly like the last case. So staff at this point would be available for any kind of question or comment from the Board, and we do have site photos as well as plot plans, but this one is put up.
S Mayor McFadden asked if there were any questions from the Board for Mr. Chandler?
Commissioner Langdon asked if this case was for Lot #1.
Mr. Chandler responded that yes, this case is for Lot #1 and the next case will be for Lot #2.
Mayor McFadden – Would anyone else like to speak on behalf of this?
Kenneth McLaughlin, 27 Shooting Star Lane,Fuquay-Varina. I'm the owner, potential owner of that lot. I think Mr. Brown covered it pretty well. We're just looking to try to do some smaller, affordable housing in the current market. We're probably on the lower end of anything new construction.
Mayor McFadden-All right. Any questions for Mr. McLaughlin? Thank you. Anyone else like to
be heard in the public hearing?
With no additional comments, Mayor Glenn McFadden closed the Public Hearing at 6:16 p.m.
Item #9A Approval of the Request for Variance, in Accordance with UDO Section 8.03.2 B-2 for PIN #: 0559-47-3379.000 on E Washington Street

RESOLUTION FY 2027-01 RESOLUTION FOR THE DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN TO REIMBURSE ITSELF FOR EARLY PROJECT EXPENDITURES FROM LATER FINANCING PROCEEDS
WHEREAS, the Town intends to undertake a Project (as described below), use its own
funds to pay initial Project costs, and then reimburse itself from financing proceeds for some or all
of these early expenditures. The Manager has advised the Board that the Board should adopt this
resolution to document the Town’s plans for reimbursement, so as to comply with certain federal
tax rules relating to reimbursement from financing proceeds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN OF LILLINGTON
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Project is improvements to the Town’s downtown area, including
undergrounding of utility lines, street and road improvements, stormwater improvements and
providing downtown amenities.
2. The Town intends to advance funds for initial Project costs, and then reimburse
itself from financing proceeds for some or all of these early expenditures. The Town expects that
financing for the Project will take the form of special obligation bonds or installment financing,
but these plans are subject to change. The expected maximum amount of financing expected for
the Project (including allowances for reserves and financing costs) is currently estimated as
approximately $10,000,000 over the course of the next several years.
This resolution does not commit the Town to undertake any particular project component
or to borrow any money. Any financing will be subject to multiple future Board approvals. This
resolution only preserves the Town option to spend its own funds up front, and then reimburse
itself later from financing proceeds. This process is needed to comply with federal tax rules on
local government borrowing.
3. Funds for the early Project expenditures may come from the Town’s General Fund
or any other appropriate Town fund.
