Additionally, there will be approximately 18 acres of commercial/retail space and amenities. In order to access uplands within the site, one wetland/stream crossing and two Waters of the U.S. crossings are needed. Additional impacts to ditches classified as Waters of the U.S. are needed for golf-course and stormwater development. An eleven-acre lake is proposed to be created by constructing a dam across a stream located in the middle of the property and is to be the centerpiece of the development. Total proposed impacts are 0.025 acres of 404 wetlands, 0.170 acres of Waters of the U.S., 2,550 LF of stream, and 1.91 acres of riparian buffer. The project area is located within the Neuse River Basin and is 634 acres in size. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 634-acre site is located in Greene County at the intersection of Hwy. 58 and Hwy. 123 on the northwest side of Hwy. 123 (Figures 1 & 2). Freshwater wetlands were delineated in 2006 by Scott Stone with Environmental Soil Services and in 2007 by Paul Farley of Land Management Group, Inc. This wetland line was approved by Mr. Scott Jones of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The site contains a total of 33.68 acres of 404 wetlands. Three un-named blue-line streams are located on the property and discharge into Rainbow Creek which eventually connects to Contentnea Creek. Both Rainbow Creek and Contentnea Creek are classified as C; Swamp Waters (Sw) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the Division of Water Quality. The C classification is given to waters that are protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. This classification has no restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges. The Swamp Waters designation is a supplemental classification intended to recognize those waters that generally 1 have naturally occurring very low velocities, low pH and low dissolved oxygen. Nutrient Sensitive Waters refers to a classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to their being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. In general, management strategies for point and nonpoint source pollution control require control of nutrients (nitrogen and/or phosphorus usually) such that excessive growths of vegetation are reduced or prevented and there is no increase in nutrients over tazget levels. Management strategies are site- specific. No specific restrictions on development are involved. This site has historically been cultivated for agricultural production and most of the uplands within the site aze fields. A nazrow fi-inge of forested wetlands and uplands aze located adjacent to Rainbow Creek and two of the unnamed blue-line features. These wetlands support loblolly pine (Pirrus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar stryraciflua), red maple (Ater rubrum}, sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). Forested uplands on the site support American holly (Ilex opaca), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), dogwood (Corpus florrda), hickory (Carya sp.), red oak (Quercus falcata), and white oak (Quercus alba). The third blue line stream (proposed for lake development) does not contain a forested buffer until it reaches the floodplains associated with Rainbow Creek. A grass buffer has been maintained along this stream for many years (see enclosure). There is a fertilizer plant located on the property off of Highway 58. According to the Greene County Generalized Soil Survey, uplands within the site aze classified as Norfolk loamy sand and Cowarts sandy loam (Figure 3). Wetlands within the site aze shown as Bibb loam (along Rainbow Creek). The property is currently zoned as agricultural by Greene County. There aze several dirt roads located throughout the tract, most of which are approximately 20' wide (Figure 4). Surrounding land use is residential, agriculture, or forested. Habitat with the potential for supporting listed species was identified by reviewing aerial photographs, soils maps, and topographic maps of the property and by walking throughout the site. A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database was conducted to determine whether any state or federally listed raze species have previously been observed within or near the project area (1/2 mile radius). No known record of any threatened or endangered species exists or near the project site. On May 4, 2007, staff of Land Management Group, Inc. evaluated the project area for its potential to support federally-listed threatened or endangered species (Table 1). The red-cockaded 2 woodpecker (RCVS is generally found in old-growth pine forests and prefers mature longleaf pines with at least a 15" DBH for nesting and foraging. Dense stands (stands that are primarily hardwood, or that have a dense hardwood understory) are avoided. In mature pine habitat, sufficient substrate can be provided on 80 to 125 acres. No cavities or red-cockaded woodpeckers were observed during the survey. Most of the tract is in agricultural production and does not contain suitable habitat. Several mature pine trees were observed in wetlands adjacent to Rainbow Creek and the westernmost stream and runs north-south through the property. However, this area was too thickly vegetated to provide suitable habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker. The Carolina Madtom is found on the Piedmont and Coastal Plain in the Neuse and Tar River drainages in North Carolina. It inhabits sandy and gravelly riffles and runs of small to medium rivers. It usually is found near woody debris. Based on NC Natural Heritage Program data, this species is not known to occur within 1/2 mile of the project site. Table 1. Federally-listed species classified as endangered, threatened, and federal species of concern known to occur in Greene Coun , NC. Common Name Scientific Name Status Animals Red-cockaded wood ecker Picoides borealis E Carolina madtom Noturus furiosus FSC KEY: Status Definition Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." Threatened A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance - a species that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its protection. FSC Federal Species of Concern ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The alternatives evaluated include a no-action alternative, off-site alternatives, two on-site alternatives, and the preferred project. 3 No-Action Alternative The no-action alternative would keep the site in its current,'undeveloped condition and would prohibit the applicant from constructing a development on this site. The no-action alternative is not considered feasible for two reasons. This alternative would leave approximately 577 acres of~plands undeveloped. This would cost the current owner of the tract approximately $69,200,000 (price of the tract) in potential revenue. Furthermore, this project would add up to $250 million to the tax base of Greene County, which would represent 1/3 of the tax base of the County. Greene County is the only county in the state that does not have at least one golf course. The goal of this project is to create a golf course that has a level of quality that would attract PGA events at Cutter Creek. This would bring in tourist dollars to this area of the state. The inability to develop this golf course community would be a significant loss of return for the applicant and the residents of Greene County (see enclosures). Therefore, this alternative is not considered feasible. Alternate Sites The proposed project is a large residential subdivision and golf course within the Hookerton area. A portion of this tract has been owned by the applicant and/or his family since 1912. Therefore, the other sites that were evaluated for this project were those that the applicant akeady owned. However, these tracts were all less than 200 acres and were not considered suitable for the project. The cost to purchase another suitable tract of land at current real estate prices would not be cost effective. On-site Alternative #1 The applicant evaluated an alternative site design that proposed to excavate the lake (Lake Nina} from uplands. This alternative would cost $1,335,000 to excavate, $1,000,000 for two wells to supply this upland lake and another $550,000 to install a liner. In addition to these direct construction costs, this alternative would reduce the number of lots, resulting in a loss of $5,700,000 to $7,600,000 in lot sales. This design would also decrease the number of homes with lake views subsequently reducing the overall revenues by $2,000,000. Because of these direct and indirect costs, this alternative is not feasible. On-site Alternative #2 Another on-site alternative that was considered would excavate Lake Nina from the westernmost stream on the property. Unlike the chosen stream, this stream contains adjacent wetlands and is forested. Constructing the lake from this stream would result in greater impacts, approximately 4 2500 LF of stream impacts, 2.95 acres of wetlands, and five acres of riparian buffer, and would incur more cost for clearing and landscaping. Because of the environmental and economic issues associated with this site plan, this alternative is not considered feasible. Preferred Project The preferred project consists of developing over 571 single-family lots and 174 multi-family units, an Audubon Sanctuary Certified golf course, an 11-acre lake, 18 acres of commercial/retail space and amenities, and 44,807 linear feet of roadways (Figures 5-9). The improvements at Cutter Creek Plantation will consist of roadway grading and paving, the installation of water main and services, and the installation of stormwater and wastewater collection systems. All of the roads will be private. The city of Kinston will provide sewage capacity and Greene County will maintain the sewage operation. The 11-acre lake, Lake Nina, will be the centerpiece of the golf course. It will also be the primary source of water for irrigation of the golf course and the common areas throughout Cutter Creek. In addition to Lake Nina, there will be ten smaller lakes throughout the development whose water level will be maintained through the irrigation system tied to Lake Nina. The lake will be stream fed and will be supplemented with water from Rainbow Creek. A dam will be constructed at the northern part of the proposed lake in accordance with engineered designs (enclosed). In compliance with Neuse River Buffer rules, the applicant intends to establish vegetation in most areas adjacent to the lake to create a 50' buffer. These areas will be vegetated with low lying shrubs or tall herbaceous species (Figure 6). Two golf holes have been designed so that they will be played across the lake. These areas will need to be vegetated as turf to maintain visibility for the golfer. Accessing uplands within the site will require crossing a stream with adjacent wetlands in one location and crossing two ditches classified as Waters of the U.S. Culverts will be installed at the wetland stream crossing. Utilities will be placed within the road right-of--way throughout the tract. The number of lots planned within the tract is based on the price of the tract, development costs, and the applicant's anticipated profit margin. The applicant's family has owned sections of the land for many years. The estimated development and land costs of the proposed project, including construction of roads and utilities, engineering, land planning, and fmance costs are anticipated to be between $30 million and $50 million. The developers are proposing 745 units, ranging in price from 5 $20,000 to $250,000 with premiums. Assuming all of the units are sold, approximately $60 million will be generated. When built out, the community will add over $250 million to the tax base of Greene County, which would represent 1/3 of the tax base of the County. In addition, this new population will create new businesses and add increased revenue to existing businesses. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The proposed project would impact 0.025 acre of 404 wetlands, 0.170 acre of Waters of the U.S., and 2,550 linear feet of stream (Figure 5). In addition, 1.91 acres of riparian buffer will be impacted. Secondary impacts to wetlands and water quality could occur during and after construction of the project through erosion and stormwater runoff. These potential impacts will be minimized by the development and implementation of a Stormwater Plan and a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. These plans will reduce the potential for erosion or runoff into wetlands and other water bodies located off site. MITIGATION The applicant has attempted to minimize wetland, stream, and riparian buffer impacts as much as possible. The stream from which Lake Nina will be constructed does not have any vegetative buffer and has been degraded from many years of agricultural practices. Therefore, the proposed development will actually increase the overall amount of woody buffer along the streams in Cutter Creek. Proposed road crossings are at narrow points along the stream/wetland. No wetland impacts are proposed for individual lot fill. To mitigate for proposed wetland and stream impacts, all remaining wetlands and streams will be preserved to ensure no additional impacts beyond what is being requested here. This will protect approximately 33.65 acres of wetlands and 13,450 LF of stream. The preservation mechanism is currently being developed. The applicant is currently evaluating stream restoration opportunities within the vicinity of this project and will provide this information to the regulatory agencies as soon as possible. To mitigate for the majority of the buffer impacts, 1.23 acres of vegetated buffer will be added to sections that are exempt from the riparian buffer rules (located within the grassed buffer area) (Figure 6). 6 existing Royster-Clark fertilizer plant to an offsite location. This will effectively remove the presence of pure nitrogen, fertilizer products, and other hazardous materials associated with the sale of agricultural fertilizer that could possibly infiltrate the two streams located within 200 yards of the facility. Furthermore, the Cutter Creek golf course, with the addition of Lake Nina, will effectively remove 400 acres from farming production that currently is used to raise crops that are very dependent on nitrogen and pesticides for production. The proposed golf course will by an Audubon Sanctuary Certified course employing the use of environmentally sound fertilizing and landscaping methodologies. This golf course will utilize Best Management Practices and Integrated Pest Management that will benefit streams and water quality. This development will create and enhance woody and aquatic habitat for birds and animals throughout the area. 7 FIGURES AND APPENDICES Cutter Creek Plantation Figure 1 Vicinity Map Figure 2 Topographic Map Figure 3 SCS Soils Map Figure 4 Aerial Photograph Figure 5 Proposed Site Plan for Cutter Creek Plantation Figure 6 Lake Nina Figure 7 Wetland/Stream Impact #1 Figure 8 Waters of the US Impact #1 Figure 9 Waters of the US Impact #2 Attachments: Letter from USDA regarding grassed buffer Letters of support from Greene County F.H.

C. 23537 Re: Impact of Cutter Creek Dear Mr. Shackleford: You have asked that we determine the impact on Greene County's Tax Base assuming that Cutter Creek is full developed. Based on the information provided by Parker Associates, the improved residential value would be approximately 209 million dollars. In addition, the amenities (golf course, commercial establishments) would contribute @ 41 million dollars. Therefore, the assumption would be that the tax base would eventually increase @ 250 million dollars. For the tax year 2006, the total assessed value of taxable property was $901,525,570 (audited by Barrow, Parris, & Associates). If this value had included this development, it would have represented @27.7% of the tax base. Using the 2006 value and projecting the value of this development forward, the development would potentially represent 21.7% of the tax base. Should you need any additional information or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, 2 ~~ B cky R. utton 229 Kingold Blvd., Suite B • P.O.
