Describe the overall project in detail, including the equipment to be used The site is located in a commercial area of Greensboro Properties located northeast, east, southeast and southwest of the site contain commercial ,structures, The purpose of the proposed project is to develop the site with a shopping center Hammerford Development has contracted with 11 property owners °to put together•a 20 17 acre site for the proposed development with a shopping center Hammerford Development intends to develop the properties as a Build -to -Suit shopping center for a number of specific tenants that have a need to locate a store, in this sub - market of Greensboro At least four of Hammerford's retailers have pursued locations in this area for the last 24 -48 months without success The future occupants of this site are mostly comprised of national tenants and therefore have,very specific site selection and use requirements Although the economic recovery across the country is showing a positive trend, not all markets are exhibiting the stability and growth potential that retailers rely on for their growth and expansion Therefore, retailers have become significantly more discerning about their site selection and positioning within markets and specific locations within sub - markets Some of the more important criteria that are prerequisite foe site selection are proximity to other national retailers; minimum daily vehicular traffic counts, visibility from major thoroughfares, full access -to the site and self - contained on- siteytraffic circulation, access for delivery merchandise trucks and loading docks, population density and projected income stability and growth, as well as ample parking and safe ingress /egress Retailers make a significant investment and a long term financial commitment to every location they select to occupy Therefore, ttjs, understandable,that given the fragile nature of the economic recovery and the nature of r P 4 Greensboro as a secondary market, some of these retailers have waited years in order to find a suitable location for thewgrowth and /,or entry into this market place The Wendover retail corridor in Greensboro, in particular this specific location at Wendover Avenue and Sapp Road, represents a unique opportunity for retailers and restaurants because it meets the majority of the criteria that retailers have for site selection The proposed site provides the retail stability provided by existing national retailers, which draw customers Additionally, it presents enough acreage to support required co- tenancy needs of new entrants into Greensboro and provides access and visibility to Wendover Avenue, which are both absolutely critical components of success in a highly competitive landscape Likewise, the proximity to 1- 40,and 1 -73 enables a regional draw from other smaller markets surrounding Greensboro In fact, this area has, historically lacked an adequate restaurant presence based on the traffic volumes that are present and several retailers have either failed or continue to exhibit lower than acceptable store comp sales due to bad visibility and access at their locations within the Wendover submarket Based on the above criteria, the proposed site represents the only viable real estate option that encompasses the critical requirements needed for stable long term tenant success Without exception, every tenant interested in this location is represented by regional real estate representative professionals and has 'internal real estate managers within its organization, these are national users with proven criteria and standards During the due diligence and research phase of site assessment'the developer provided traffic studies, demographic studies, and various other materials to the retailers in order to present the qualifications of this site These requirements, which were listed in the above paragraph, were analyzed in depth and the site Was chosen by the real °estate committees of these retailers independent of each other, therefore confirming the unique nature of it within the Wendover corridor, A brief summary of some of the tenants that are currently finalizing plans to occupy space at this location is listed below highlighting some of these requirements Restaurant 'A' 8,000sf, Wendover visibility required,,min parking'160 spaces (not in Greensboro) Restaurant 'B' 6,500sf, co- tenancy required with other retailers, must have direct Wendover access Restaurant 'C' 2,800sf, direct Wendover visibility required (not in Greensboro) Retailer 1 10;000sf — women's apparel — co- tenancy required 60,000sf other soft�goods Retailer 2 32,000sf — national retailer, direct visibility to Wendover required (not in Greensboro) Retailer 3 18,000sf — co- tenancy of 45,000sf required, must be visible from Wendover Retailer 4 35,000sf — furniture retailer, must have truck access (not in Greensboro) Retailer 5 22,000sf — must have Wendover visibility & 50,000sf soft goods co- tenancy Retail Building out parcels 10,000- 15,000sf requires anchor tenancy as support and visibility It is important to note that the dynamics of the relationships between retailers is fairly, complex and it is an established phenomenon The larger "box" tenants tend to require"very specific delivery standards from the developer /landlord however, due to the nature of their inventory volumes and large size, the Unit economics are fairly inflexible and are very market driven Therefore, the specific real estate is paramount to their success However, since these tenants do not carry the economic investment of a development, any project will need to have smaller tenants or restaurants, which benefit from the traffic generated by the big box anchors, which are able to contribute to the overall project economics which results in a viable development Therefore the overall mix of tenants and use types is a very important piece of retail real estate development and it has become more complex and difficult in a soft economic environment The establishment of a sustainable shopping center not only contributes to the local economy immediately, but it ignites a positive feedback loop that results in overall economic growth The two driveways onto Wendover Avenue are essential to the success of1the development, for added flexibility the developer did explore the option of installing an additional driveway onto Sapp Road along the eastern side of the property However, this driveway location was eliminated by NCDOT andiGDOT prior to the final compilation of the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) as was prepared by Davenport Engineering Therefore, this eastern driveway is not an option The location of the two driveways onto Wendover Avenue are determined by several factors First, the placement and spacing of these driveways must be in accordance with the safety standards as determined by the Greensboro Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the, North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) The aforementioned TIA for the proposed development was prepared to analyze the existing and future traffic conditions around this site The parameters of the study, which are established, by GDOT and NCDOT, are intended to ensure public safety and gauge the level of service of,traffic operations based on established criteria The TIA, evaluated the existing and future conditions at the site and determined that the proposed location of both driveways on West Wendover, along with the proposed left -over median cut into the main entrance driveway on West Wendover Avenue, would meet the established requirements and provide adequate capacity to accommodate future traffic Davenport reviewed the results of the TIA with representatives of both GDOT and NCDOT, and determined that these driveways could be permitted under the guidelines established by both regulatory agencies Finally, the placement of these driveways must ultimately allow for optimal and safe traffic flow in an integrated manner with the overall site development layout deemed prudent and logical After much consideration, repeated re- designs, and market testing, our client has determined that these driveway locations, as shown on the enclosed Exhibit, will support a site design that is safe for egress and ingress to the,site and is functional for onsite traffic circulation, while meeting the requirements of national retailers and their customers, who will be the end users Please note that this is an extremely important consideration, because without a site layout plan that is acceptable to the retailers and deemed convenient and safe for their patrons, the property will not be re- developed, and will remain in its current state, which is both undesirable and underutilized A stormwater device will be constructed on the site to treat surface -water runoff from the imperGious areas The pond has been designed to remove 90% total suspended solids and has been sized to include runoff from the entire site The construction of the stormwater pond will not impact jurisdictional areas In,order to construct a shopping center on the site, it is necessary to impact two streams (166 linear, feet of intermittent stream and ,108 linear feet of perennial stream), associated buffers (18,081 feet of Zone 1 and 15,801 square feet of Zone 2) and associated wetlands (0 464 acres) Coffer dams will be used and water will be pumped around during the installations of the culverts Graders, loaders, excavators, haulers and cranes will be used during construction activities on the site C — 61. Buffer Imoact Comments Two proposed driveway crossings will cumulatively impact 18,081 square feet of Zone 1 and 15,801 square feet of Zone 2 The driveway crossings locations were selected based on the above referenced criteria (see section B -3e) The driveway crossings have been designed in accordance with the NCDENR -DWR Randleman Lake Watershed Riparian Buffer Rules and the City of Greensboro Land Development Ordinance „Article 12- Natural Resources as an allowable,with'mitigation activity Zone 1 buffer mitigation will be required at a 3-1 (44,685 sq ft of credits) and Zone 2,at a 15 1(19,941 sq ft of credits) The square footage of wetland impacts located within the riparian buffer have been subtracted from the squarefootage of necessary riparian buffer credits D -1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the propose impacts in designing the rp oiect Proposed slopes have been designed at a 2 1 in areas adjacent to the wetland impacts to minimize additional impacts associated with Phase I of the proposed development An approximate 30 acre parcel has been purchased down - gradient in the site's watershed, which allows the site to off -set the proposed Build -Upon Area (BUA) of the proposed site development This parcel will remain in a protected easement, which not only off sets the calculated ,BUA of the, site but also benefits down - gradient waterbodies within the site watershed Thus, any potential jurisdictional features located on the approximate 30 acre parcel could not be impacted by any future development of this 30 acre tract Due to the very specific requirements of retail users, the characteristics of this property uniquely provide the location requirements that are not available otherwise Over the span of the last 24 months, the developer has continually surveyed this submarket for alternate sites However, retailers and restaurants do not consider real estate to be fungible, as basic parameters, such as proximity to other retailers, proximity to major thoroughfares, such as interstate highways, site visibility and access, as well as, traffic flows, and volumes, are not replicable even within a distance less than one quarter of a mile Alternative properties to this site are either not available or do not meet the requirements to establish, the alternative property as a viable development option The developer considered and presented alternate locations on the north side of 1 -40 at Guilford College Road, on the west side of 1 -73 along Wendover Avenue, and on the south side of Wendover Avenue on Bridford Parkway to potential tenants However, these locations did n"ot meet the criteria parameters for this development As an example, the change in traffic pattern and volume is a critical variable in the site assessment models utilities to determine the,financial feasibility to generate sales, and none of those locations provided the suitable alternative Fundamentally, in a smaller market such as Greensboro, suitable pockets for national retailer expansion,are geographically limited This along with the critical acreage requirement to assemble a project that allows for synergistic co- tenancy and the visibility corridor from a major thoroughfare, such as Wendover Avenue, eliminates other evaluated alternative locations, thus making the proposed site the preferred alternative for development The,stormwater pond has been designed in non - jurisdictional areas of the site The stor,mwater pond has been designed to treat 90% total suspended solids, preventing sediment discharge from impervious surfaces that will be constructed on the site A pump- around system has been designed that,will use a coffer dam Although a temporary impact, the system will prevent sediment from entering down - gradient portions of the streamsdurmg culvert installation The stream on the eastern portion of the site has been impacted by stormwater runoff and the hydrology 'has been altered by an up- gradient retention pond Various debris has accumulated in reaches of the stream due to up- gradient development The stream and associated wetland have minimal aquatic habitat The'location of'the site is imperative to its success and value Relocation of the proposed shopping center to a less impacted green -field site in a less developed area is not a practical alternative and will have greater environmental impacts and likely impact more streams, buffers and wetlands The expansion has been designed in a manner to avoid unnecessary impacts to green -field sites D -1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the propose impacts through construction techniques The clearing limits of the proposed project will be staked prior to clearing (including the impact limits of the streams and wetlands) Prior to grading, silt fence will be installed to prevent runoff from entering nearby streams During culvert installation, coffer dams will be placed on the up- gradient ends of the culverts and water will be pumped around Following installation, the coffer dams will be removed and water will be redirected into the culvert The,graded areas on the site will be seeded and matted immediately following site grading activities Additional best management practices will be implemented E - 2a. Additional Stormwater Information The stormwater pond has been designed to treat 90% total suspended solids The pond has been sized to also treat stormwater from the 2 94 acre portion of the site that is platted for future building development F - 5d. Endangered Species Information PEI reviewed the Natural Heritage Database to determine if federally protected threatened and endangered species have been documented on the Greensboro, NC Quadrangle (the quadrangle that contains the site) and the Guilford, NC Quadrangle (the quadrangle that borders the site quadrangle to the west) The bald eagle has been identified on the Guilford, NC Quadrangle The bald eagle is federally protected under the Bald and Golden eagle Protection Act We did not observe this species or suitable habitat for this species on or near the,site F - 6b. Essential Fish-Habitat The streams on the site have not been designated as trout waters Federally protected endangered and threatened fish species have not been documented for the site quadrangle or the quadrangle that borders the site to the west The streams are located in a developed area of Greensboro The streams are separated from down - gradient streams by a culvert network (including those immediately down - gradient beneath West Wendover Avenue) F - 7b.
