Item: Senior Center Accreditation Recognition Initiated By: Stacie Shatzer, Aging Director Action Proposed: No Action Required

Description: In 1978 the National Institute of Senior Centers developed standards for the senior center field and offers the nation’s only National Senior Center Accreditation Program. The purpose of the program is to advance the quality of senior centers nationwide. The National Institute of Senior Centers developed the program with nine standards of excellence for senior center operations. They are Purpose, Community, Governance, Administration and Human Resources, Program Planning, Evaluation, Fiscal Management, Records and Reports and the Facility. Each standard has a principle, rationale, and detailed criteria section. These standards serve as a guide for all senior centers to improve their operation today and position themselves for the future. More than 200 senior centers have been accredited nationwide. North Carolina has three nationally accredited centers and two of those are located right here in Nash County. The Nash County Senior Center was first accredited in July of 2010 and was recently reaccredited until 2020. The Rocky Mount Senior Center achieved this national standard in July 2015 and is also accredited until 2020. The accreditation process improves and strengthens the overall senior center operations. The self-assessment process brings the staff, participants, aging service provider representatives and the community together to look at the senior center and compare it to the standards that have been established by the National Institute of Senior Centers. Together, the center and the community identify strengths and areas that need improvement and develop a strategy for moving forward. At the October meeting, we want to recognize Michele McKnight, Senior Center Coordinator for the Nash County Senior Center and Alex Langley, Senior Center Manager for the Rocky Mount Senior Center for this national achievement. Both of these individuals have dedicated themselves to achieve excellence in their programs, operations and facilities. They each have a strong work ethic and keep the consumers, Nash County’s senior population, in mind when performing all of their duties. These individuals are leaders here locally in the region as well as at the state level. Today we want to say thank you for their commitment and hard work. The senior adults and caregivers of Nash County say thank you as well.

Item: Public hearing - Petition to consider approving a Conditional

Use Permit (CU-150901) for a proposed solar farm on approximately 28 acres of a 65 acre tract located on the west side of Pace Road by landowners W. Graham Farmer, Jr. and Brenda L. Farmer and by Louis Iannone and Beth Trahos Representing Strata Solar, LLC and Kojak Farm, LLC

Initiated By: Nancy M. Nixon, Planning Director Action Proposed: Conduct a quasi-judicial public hearing and take action on

the request.

Case summary: Note: This is not a rezoning, but a stand-alone Conditional Use Permit request. This petition submitted by Louis Iannone representing Strata Solar, LLC and Beth Trahos representing Kojak Farm, LLC as well as by W. Graham Farmer, Jr. and Brenda L. Farmer, the property owners, is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CU-150901) to allow the development of a solar farm on approximately 28.78 acres of a 65.21 acre portion of an existing tract located in the R-40 Single-Family Residential Zoning District

on the west side of Pace Road (SR 1961). A solar farm as defined by the UDO is allowed with a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Board of Commissioners. The subject tract is located immediately north of the Town of Bailey's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The proposed site is located in the Buckhorn Public Water Supply Watershed but it is not located in a regulated floodplain. The developer has identified existing streams and wetlands on the western portion of the parcel, however, they should not be impacted by the proposed facility itself. The site is located in the Neuse River Basin so any stormwater permitting requirements would be administered at the state level by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). The submitted site plan depicts a single fenced area containing arrays of ground-mounted solar panels and related inverter equipment that would be accessed directly from Pace Road. The site plan also includes a temporary laydown yard, staging area and parking area to be utilized during the construction period. There is no exterior lighting proposed for the site. Because the proposed solar farm facility would be located within 100 feet of the immediately adjacent, residentially-zoned lots to the north and south, the "Incompatible Land Use" screening requirements of UDO 11-3.3 (B) would apply. Since no homes currently exist along the majority of the affected property lines, the developer is requesting an alternative screening plan for consideration under the provisions of UDO

Page 25 of 65

11-3.4 (A). The proposed landscape design is less substantial than the standard requirements and would include a 15 foot wide buffer yard with a single row of evergreen shrubs planted every 10 feet on center. The shrubs shall be of a species that will reach a minimum height of 10 feet and provide a minimum of 75% opacity within three years of planting. The Board may approve the alternative screening plan provided that it will appropriately and effectively meet the purposes of the ordinance.

UDO Definition: A solar farm is defined by the Nash County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) as "a facility used to convert solar energy into electrical power for interconnection with the power grid for primarily off-site energy consumption" (UDO Article II, Section 2-4.158a) Development Standards for Solar Farms: UDO Article XI, Section 11-4.72(a) establishes the following required development standards for solar farms:

(A) Where Required A1, R-40, RC, LI, GI, PI Zoning Districts - The proposed site is located in the R-40 Single-Family Residential Zoning

District.

(B) Maximum Height Structures shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet in height, as measured from grade at the base of the structure to its highest point. - The site plan notes that the proposed systems, equipment and structures

will not exceed twenty-five (25) feet in height when ground mounted and the sample schematics provided by the applicant depict typical solar panel racks that are nine (9) feet in height.

(C) Setbacks

Solar farm facilities and structures shall conform to the principal building setback requirements of the zoning district in which they are located. - The site plan indicates that the proposed facility would satisfy the principal

building setback requirements for the R-40 Single-Family Residential Zoning District.

(D) Security Fencing

Solar farm facilities shall be enclosed by a chain-link security fence, a minimum of 6-feet in height and topped with barbed wire. - The site plan includes security fencing in compliance with the above

requirements.

(E) Site Plan Solar farms shall be developed in accordance with an approved site plan that includes: (1) the location of the solar farm facility (including the arrangement of any

existing or proposed buildings, structures or panels);

Page 26 of 65

(2) the distance from any proposed solar farm facility, structure or use area to the surrounding property lines;

(3) any existing or proposed signs, fencing, lighting, parking areas, driveways, landscaping, vegetative screening or required buffers;

(4) horizontal and vertical (elevation) scale drawings with dimensions of proposed solar collector structures; and

(5) noted limitations on built-upon area as required for compliance with stormwater, watershed and/or riparian buffer regulations.

- The submitted site plan and related schematics satisfy the above

requirements.

(F) Safety Solar farm facilities shall not create a visual safety hazard for passing motorists. - No potential visual safety hazard is anticipated.

(G) Abandonment Solar farm facilities shall be removed, at the owner's expense, within one hundred eighty (180) days of a determination by the Zoning Administrator that the facility is no longer being maintained in an operable state of good repair. - The landowner of record shall be responsible for the deconstruction and

removal of the solar farm at such time that the facility is either decommissioned or abandoned.

Conditional Use Permit Requirements (UDO Article IV, Section 4-7): In addition to the development standards detailed above, the ordinance requires the Board of Commissioners to conclude that the proposed development:

(1) Will not materially endanger the public health or safety; (2) Will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property; (3) Will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located; and (4) Will be in general conformity with the land development plan or other plans

officially adopted by the Board of Commissioners. If the Board of Commissioners concludes that the proposed development will not comply with the above criteria, it may deny the permit or attach to the permit any reasonable requirements in addition to those specified by the ordinance that will ensure its compliance.

Note: Because this request does not change the existing zoning classification of the subject property, there is no need to address "spot zoning" or to recommend a rezoning consistency statement.

Page 27 of 65

TRC Recommendation: The Nash County Technical Review Committee (TRC) considered Conditional Use Permit Request CU-150901 on September 3, 2015 and unanimously recommended approval, with conditions. Planning Board Recommendation: The Nash County Planning Board considered Conditional Use Permit Request CU-150901 at its regular meeting on September 21, 2015. The Planning Board unanimously recommended APPROVAL on the basis of the following finding:

The proposed solar farm is a relatively low-intensity land use that should not generate additional traffic (post construction) or significant noise and that should be able to exist in harmony with the surrounding land uses in the Rural Growth Area as designated by the 2006 Nash County Land Development Plan. In addition, solar power is a green initiative that provides a clean, renewable alternative energy source.

AND SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

1) The proposed facility shall comply with the development standards for solar

farms as set forth in the Nash County Unified Development Ordinance Article XI, Section 11-4.72(a).

2) The property shall be developed in accordance with the submitted and

approved site plan as well as in compliance with all other applicable development regulations.

3) The vegetative screening buffers depicted on the site plan were approved in

accordance with UDO Article XI, Section 11-3.4 (A) "Alternative Screening Methods." All vegetative screening buffers must be planted prior to the final approval of the solar farm and must be preserved and/or maintained as shown on the approved site plan.

4) This Conditional Use Permit shall be issued subject to the approval and

issuance of the following additional permits and documents, as applicable:

a) NCDENR Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Approval b) NCDENR Stormwater Permit (Neuse River Basin) c) NCDOT Driveway Permit d) Nash County Zoning Permit e) Nash County Electrical Permit

5) The landowner of record shall be responsible for the deconstruction and

removal of the solar farm at such time that the facility is either decommissioned or abandoned.

Page 28 of 65

Suggested Motion: I move that the Nash County Board of Commissioners APPROVE or DENY (choose one) Conditional Use Permit Request CU-150901 for the development of the Kojak Farm,

LLC solar farm on the west side of Pace Road on the property further identified as Nash County Tax Parcel ID # 001346, subject to the conditions recommended by the Planning Board. NOTE: Because this request does not include a rezoning, there is no need to address "spot zoning" or to recommend a rezoning consistency statement. NOTE: If the motion is for Denial, the Board of Commissioners must identify which of the Conditional Use Permit Requirements is/are not met.

Item: Positive Image Action Group – Request for Funding Initiated By: Don Williams and Dorsey Tobias Action Proposed: Consider the Request

Description: The Positive Image Action Group was formed out of the Twin Counties Visioning process and is chaired by Don Williams and Dorsey Tobias. They have requested to be on the agenda to make a request for funding related to their efforts to promote a positive image for the Twin Counties region.

Page 32 of 65

To Nash County Commissioners: On behalf of the positive image action group, as part of the Twin Counties Visioning Process, we are pleased to share that we have successfully launched Phase 1 of our campaign. You should be seeing billboard, TV, radio and print advertisements all around the region, as well as an integrated social media campaign among entities and individuals in our region. We also hope you have already visited our website herestosuccess.org to view all of our videos, advertisements, brand materials, Twin Counties communications channels, business & citizen supporters, etc. We have raised $115,000 from caring businesses and citizens in the Twin Counties, and are now seeking funding from the municipalities to help us reach our $200,000 goal for full implementation of the plan. Attached is our plan with status updates on the far right, as well as a press release from our July launch that provides a good overview of the initiative. We would be happy to present to you all at an upcoming meeting if needed. Please let us know what is needed for you to consider this investment.

REGIONAL POSITIVE IMAGE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES IN TWIN COUNTIES

Initiative Aims to Communicate Assets and Successes of the Twin Counties ROCKY MOUNT, N.C., July 6, 2015 – The Positive Image Action Group, formed in January 2013 from

the Twin Counties Visioning Process, launched on Monday the first phase of its regional positive image campaign. The initial phase focuses on educating citizens of Edgecombe and Nash Counties on

interesting facts about the combined region through local advertisements and social media.

“The goal of Phase I is to make our own residents aware of the great things happening here, for which we

all should be proud,” said Don Williams, president of Lewis Advertising and co-chair of the Positive Image Campaign. “People will see their neighbors, friends and coworkers on local billboards, TV commercials,

newspapers, radio and social media, talking about interesting facts that represent our combined Twin Counties region.”

The group, comprised of citizen volunteers from Edgecombe and Nash Counties representing diverse

backgrounds, age groups, gender, race, professional experience and geography within the two counties,

spent the last two years developing a marketing and communications plan for the region based on the feedback provided in the Twin Counties Visioning Process public study circles in 2012. With the help of

Lewis Advertising, the group developed a regional brand logo and the tagline “Here’s To Success”. They also developed a website, herestosuccess.org, to aggregate positive news happening in the area and

channels for businesses and individuals to follow to learn more.

The strategy also includes an “Ambassador’s Program” which will train staff in the hospitality industry on

opportunities they can share with tourists and local customers about where to go and what to do in the Twin Counties. The first wave of training is set to begin this fall.

Phase 2 will focus on external marketing as well as continuing to support the internal campaign and

Ambassador Program. The group plans to develop external messages and purchase strategic advertisements outside of the region in places like the Triangle in an effort to show business owners,

individuals and families the positive things the Twin Counties region has to offer.

With the help of the local chambers of commerce and citizens, the group has raised $115,000 of its

$200,000 goal thus far from businesses and individuals to fund the multi-phase campaign.

“It has been incredibly encouraging to see businesses and individuals from all ends of this region come together to support this initiative,” said Dorsey Tobias, media relations manager for PNC Bank, and co-

Page 36 of 65

http://www.herestosuccess.org/

chair of the Positive Image Campaign. “People are seeing that we will be stronger as a region, working

together for social, economic and cultural success.”

Businesses or individuals interested in supporting the campaign or participating in the Ambassador’s Program training should contact [email protected]. Contributions are tax-deductible.
