The Town of Jamestown is a Partner in the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership. This is an 18 member governmental
unit which provides public education and public involvement in the area of stormwater education and pollution prevention.
6. Stormwater Management Program Plan
6.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
4

-Target Pollutant Sources: The Town of Jamestown is a member of the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership. This
partnership consists of 18 counties and municipalities that share in cost to implement stormwater management surface water
quality and watershed protection public education programs to inform the Piedmont Triad Community about the impacts of
stormwater discharge on receiving water bodies and the specific need to reduce stormwater pollutants in the Randleman Lake
Watershed, The program promotes regional public awareness to provide citizens and businesses with a more comprehensive
environmental education program. The budget for the PTWQP for fiscal year 2015-2016 was $54,500,00. Each partners' baseline
education program rate is the product of its jurisdiction's population totals.
-The PTWQP created an educational brochure "Protecting Water Quality". The brochure targets homeowners and educates them on
proper landscaping and lawn care decisions to protect our water quality. The brochures are printed in English and Spanish. They are
distributed at all public events such as; Jamestown Day, Community Health Fair, Earth Day and Arbor Day. The brochures are also
found in the Town of Jamestown newcomer's packet which is given to anyone moving into the Town of Jamestown. The evaluation
of this strategy will be the number of the population reached.
-The Town of Jamestown publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report to educate the public about the water quality of the
Town's drinking water. This is mailed to all the water customers of Jamestown. The evaluation of this strategy will be the number of
the population reached. This Consumer Confidence Report is published on the Town website.
-The Town of Jamestown felt the most useful and cost effective method to get information out to the public was to include
stormwater message on the Towns utility billings. The utility billing is mailed every month for in-town customers and month for
out-of-town customers. This has proven very effective in getting stormwater information into the homes of our citizens. The
evaluation of this strategy will be the number of the population reached.
-The PTWQP executive steering committee, with approval by the members, establishes educational initiatives and budget for each
Fiscal year. Selected priorities included addressing general pollution issues, a Lenny the Lifeguard campaign for the youth and
promotion of the Carolina Yards and Neighborhoods workshops for homeowners. The PTWQP continues to meet the obligations of
our individual NPDES permits by bringing together resources, ideas and funds. Through a wide variety of efforts, including materials
and new advertising avenues, the partnership expanded its outreach to the citizens of our region. The accomplishments of this
collaborative effort include the following programs: Carolina Yards and Neighborhoods, Lenny the Lifeguard and a general pollution
prevention campaign for adults.
5

-The CYAN program is designed to teach homeowners now to make decisions in their home landscapes that protect water quality,
reduce stormwater runoff and conserve water. In FY 2008-2009, the program continues to progress within the regions through
workshops, newspaper advertising, and distribution of printed materials at various events. The target audience is homeowners that
live in Alamance, Forsyth, Guilford and Randolph Council. Newspaper advertising schedules coincide with the optimal time of year
for recommended landscape maintenance practices. Hands on workshops are conducted at the Guilford County Extension Agency.
The evaluation of the strategy is the number of population participating.
-The Lenny the Lifeguard is an animated character created for the PTWQP. It is designed for children 12 & under. Television ads
were aired March through May. The ads ran to heighten stormwater pollution awareness through the use of this loveable frog
character. The target audience is school aged children. Commercials air on at least 3 local TV stations. The Town also has Lenny the
Lifeguard coloring books to give to elementary aged children to promote stormwater pollution prevention.
-A future measurable goal for Public Education and ❑utreach is to develop a presentation to give to elementary school aged
children. The presentation will be appropriate for students attending Jamestown Elementary School. The presentation is entitled --
"Happy Pond" and is appropriate for the 3'd grade level.

6.2 Public Involvement and Participation
-In providing Public Involvement and Participation, the Town of Jamestown held 2 Town Meetings for input from citizens regarding
the updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan. A final presentation was given to the Town Council in December 2007 for adoption by
the governing body.
-The Town of Jamestown will enter this Stormwater Management Program on the Town website for public comment.
-The Town of Jamestown has a very successful storm drain marker program. To date, the Audubon Society and many Boy Scout
troops have participated in this program. The town will continue to promote this storm drains market program as funds permit.
-Litter Sweep. The Town of Jamestown partners with the local High School in conducting a fall and spring litter sweep each year.
This promotes litter prevention and the prevention of trash entering the storm drains. The town will continue this program.
-Arbor Day Celebration. The Town of Jamestown established a Tree Preservation Ordinance which was adopted July 2009 in the new
Land Development Ordinance. The Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee (a committee made up of citizens) also serves as the
Tree Board for the Town of Jamestown. This Board provides guidance for developing tree and landscaping programs and policy.
They evaluate and monitor current regulations for effectiveness and recommend changes regarding the Tree Preservation
Ordinance. They conduct education programs with respect to tree preservation. They review appeals and decisions or
interpretations made by Town staff. They make recommendation regarding variance with relation to Tree Preservation Ordinance.
The town of Jamestown received its Tree City USA designation and the Town plans to continue to apply for this designation each
year. Part of the requirement for the Tree City USA award is to provide public involvement and education. The Town holds an Arbor
Day Celebration each year. The local high school participates with tree plantings at the Town Hall. This is covered by the local
newspaper. The students of the Help Our Planet Earth (HOPE) participate each year. The town of Jamestown received a grant to
print post cards giving important information regarding trees. This post card was mailed to each citizen of Jamestown. The post
cards are also included in the newcomer's packet which is given to each new citizen moving to Jamestown.
-PTWQP Website and the Town of Jamestown website. The Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership website contains information
targeted to children, businesses, teachers, homeowners and others. Educational topics covered include: effective landscape
practices, controlling construction site runoff and work place pollution, and proper disposal of automotive waste. The website is
updated on a regular basis prior to the start of a new advertising campaign. (Which is held one in spring and on in fall) for the FY
8

2015-2016, 257,533 hits were received. There is a link from the PTWWP website to the Town ❑f Jamestown website. The Town
website includes a page regarding stormwater pollution prevention. Included on the Town website are videos ❑f all the TV
commercials produced by the PTWQP. On the Jamestown website in the contact information for citizens to report any stormwater
violations they witness.
-Community Outreach — past activity by the PTWQP was to partner with Chic-N-A, to distribute 50,000 Lenny stickers and coloring
pages to 21 locations. This is a goal that is planned to continue in future years. Each year PTWQP selects a community outreach
project which all members participate in. In 2015 the partnership held bowling alley events to educate youth on stormwater
pollution prevention. We have also held education workshops at the Guilford County Agricultural Extension Agency and local
Farmer's Markets.

6.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
-Storm Sewer System Map—The Town of Jamestown hired a summer intern in 2007 and summer of 2008. One of his
responsibilities was to locate storm drains and stormwater structures (manholes,catch basins, pipe outlets, etc.) and enter these
locations into a GPS system for the Town. Plans are to continue building this GPS system as time and funds permit.
- Regulatory Mechanisms in place used to effectively prohibit illicit discharges into the MS4 include Section 7: ILLICIT
❑ISCHARGES AN❑ CONNECTIONS of the Town of Jamestown Land development Ordinance. No person shall cause of allow
the discharge, emission, disposal, pouring or pumping directly or indirectly to any stormwater conveyance, the water of the
State ❑r upon the land in manner and amount that the substance is likely to reach a stormwater conveyance of the water of
the State, any liquid, solid, gas, or other substance, other than stormwater; provided that non-stormwater discharges
associated with the following activities are allowed and provided that they do not significantly impact water quality:
1) Water line flushing
2) Landscape irrigation
3) ❑iverted stream flows
4) Rising ground waters
5) Uncontaminated ground water infiltration
6) Uncontaminated pumped ground water
7) ❑ischarges from potable water sources
8) Foundation drains
9) Air conditioning condensation

16)Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands
17) Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges
18)Street wash water
19)Other non-storm water discharges from which a valid N P D E S discharge permit has been approved and issued by the State
of North Carolina, and provided that any such discharges to the municipal separate storm system shall be authorized by
the Town of Jamestown.
Prohibited substances include but are not limited to: oil, anti-freeze, chemicals, animal waste, paints, garbage and litter.
Section (b) deals with illicit connections, spills and nuisance. Article 19—Watershed Protection ❑rdinance specifically grants
authority to the Stormwater Administrator the right to enforce and designate the time within which a prohibited connection must
be removed. The Stormwater Administrator shall have the authority, upon presentation of proper credentials, to enter and inspect
any land, building, structure or premises to ensure compliance with this ordinance. The property owner or person using said
connection shall removed the connection within one year following the effective date of this ordinance. However, the one-year
grace period shall not apply to connections which may result in the discharge of hazardous materials or other discharges which pose
an immediate threat to health and safety or are likely to result in immediate injury and hard to real or personal property, natural
resources, wildlife or habitat.
- The Stormwater Administrator has the authority to perform an emergency enforcement if he finds the violation would
seriously threaten the public health, safety, or welfare. The Stormwater Administrator may seek immediate enforcement,
without prior written notice.
Other remedies from violation include withholding a Certificate of Occupancy, disapproval of subsequent permits and
development approvals, injunction, abatements, corrective cost assessed as a lien against the property, stop work order and civil
penalties.
12

6.4 Detection and Elimination:
The Town of Jamestown will carry out dry weather inspections of the storm water system beginning at outfall points to determine
the presence of illicit discharges. The inspections will continue upstream with 10%of the storm water system inspected per year
beginning in year 2 of the program. When an illicit discharge/connection is found the Town will trace the discharge to its source
using its right to entry to private property if necessary. The property owner will be required to remove the illicit connection_ If this
is not done,the town will terminate the illicit connection and kill the owner.
7 The Town will conduct dry weather field inspection noting the appearance, color and odor of any discharges. The inspections &
cleaning consists of all storm drainage inlets. In addition to Town staff inspections, the Town contracts with an outside company
to perform regular sewer outfall inspections. Any violations discovered are immediately reported to the Public Services
Operation Manager and Public Services Director.
8 The Town has adopted a systematic approach to detecting illicit discharges. 10%of the town will be inspected per year
beginning in year 5. This BMP was chosen in coordination with the Town strategy for mapping its storm water system. The
measurable goal is directly related to this strategy. The town is attempting to spread its inspection effort over the permit period
in order to make optimum use of its labor resources.
9 Overall reduction of illicit discharges to sewer ❑utfaII points will be used as a measure of success. The measurable goal for the
detection/elimination BMP is the number of illicit connections detected and eliminated each year.
10 Outreach-the Town of Jamestown through the PTWQP designed posters detailing protecting water quality at the workplace.
These posters are displayed at the Town Hall and the Public Services Maintenance facility and the Park Maintenance facility. The
Town will distribute brochures to schools for children to take home which describe non-point source pollution.
11 The town employees view a training video each summer "Ground Control—Stormwater Pollution Prevention for Construction
Sites" and "Municipal Stormwater Pollution Prevention" which train employees on what to look for in the field and how to report
any illicit connections.
13

12 The Town performs annual grease traps inspections of the restaurants and school cafeterias. At the time of the inspections,
Town employee provides the owner and/or manager with a poster demonstrating the proper disposal of grease. The posters are
provided in English and Spanish.

7 The Town of Jamestown now performs all the Watershed Plan approvals in-house.
8 The Town stormwater administrator uses the most recent edition of the NC DWQ Stormwater BMP manual to make decisions
about stormwater permits. The Jamestown Land Development Ordinance details minimum stormwater controls required in the
WCA. The Town contracted with engineers to create a Town of Jamestown's Stormwater Guidelines for Water Quality and Flood
Control which gives guidelines for runoff control structures. Guidelines set forth in the Jamestown Stormwater Guidelines
require for the retention of the difference in pre and post construction runoff for the one (1 year), twenty-four (24 hour) hour
storm and removal of 8S%TSS and shall be subject to the approval of the Stormwater administrator.
9 Generally the Town will make an annual inspection of the structural BMP's to ensure compliance with the Land Development
Ordinance. The Planning Director and the Public Services Director for the Town of Jamestown has received the NC State
University Certificate of Attendance to certify that he has completed to satisfaction the workshop " Stormwater BMP Reviewer
Certification" However,some existing BMP's are not accessible by the town of Jamestown and in this case, the person
responsible for maintenance of any structure BMP installed pursuant to this ordinance may be required to submit to the
Stormwater Administrator an inspection report from a registered NC professional engineer, surveyor, landscape architect, soil
scientist, aquatic biologist, or person certified by the NC Cooperative Extension Service for stormwater treatment practice

6.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The Town of Jamestown has identified the facilities which might create stormwater pollution (including the Fire Station)
and do annual inspections.
The Town created a "turnover folder" for each facility. The folder included:
The Facility
0 Site plan
■ Spill response procedure
• BMP's
• Inspections forms
• Stormwater discharge outfall monitoring
■ Staff training
The Town of Jamestown maintains 3 locations requiring good housekeeping practices.
1. Town Hall —A vehicle washing site is located outside at the Jamestown Fire Station with drainage to a bio-retention pond.
Located within the station in the bay area is an oil/water separator to collect any runoff for the vehicles that are washed
inside the station. Recycling bins, (also draining to Bio-Retention pond) located at Town Hall for use by the public and Town
employees. This voluntary program reduces litter on ❑ur street and reduces landfill amount.
2. Maintenance Facility—an inventory of hazardous chemicals is maintained. Chemicals and solvents are stored inside in
locked areas with no floor drains. The fuel tanks are enclosed with double-walled and enclosed in concrete containment
basins. The Town of Jamestown is in the process of constructed a new Public Services Facility. The new facility will contain a
vehicle washing area and a new fueling operations containment area. The anticipated date for completion of construction is
March 2017.
23

3. Golf Course Maintenance Facility— Pesticides and chemicals are stored in a locked area with no floor drains. A containment
plan is in place for any spills in these areas. The Park superintendent maintains a list of hazardous chemicals. Vehicles are
washed by an ❑utside contractor which separates/captures the water before it can enter the storm drain. (Fuel containment)
The Town employees view a training DVD each summer regarding Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping. A list of hazardous
chemicals in maintained at the Maintenance Facility and the Golf Course Maintenance facility. Fuel tanks at both facilities are
encased with a concrete trough. Vehicles and equipment are washed by an outside contractor.

6.7 Natural Resource Protection
The town of Jamestown approved a 2020 Land Development Plan in December of 2007. Careful consideration was given to
the natural and human environmental features of the Town of Jamestown. A goal of the Land Development plan is to build
upon important existing natural and cultural features found with Jamestown and make certain these cherished features are
preserved for future generations. Preserving the limited high quality natural areas and farmland is important to preserving
the small town feel of Jamestown. Future development should take into account these remaining natural and cultural
resources and avoid adverse impacts to tyre environment. [Sec. 2.32 Analysis of Environmental Factors —2020 Land
Development Plan.
The Town of Jamestown Land Development Ordinance creates 4 overlay districts.
12 Cluster Development Overlay— permits buildings to be clustered or grouped on a site, parcel or property in order to optimize the
use of land and resources.
13 Scenic Corridor Overlay District— is established to protect the pastoral scenes and open spaces that prove a sense of arrival for
resident and visitors traveling the major entrance roads and gateways to the Town. The pastoral scenes and undeveloped
property along the entrance roads and gateways contribute significantly to Jamestown's community character and sense of
place. These standards will preserve the rural character of the town by maintaining the sense of a rural character in an urban
environment.
Within the New I and Development Ordinance is Article 19, Watershed Protection Ordinance adopted by the Town Council in
July 2009. This purpose of this watershed protection ordinance is to protect, maintain and enhance the public health, safety,
environment and general welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of
issues related to increased stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution, buffer protection and illicit discharges into
municipal stormwater systems. It has been determined that proper management of construction-related and post-
development stormwater runoff, illicit discharges and buffer protection will minimize damage to public and private property
and infrastructure; safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare; and protect water and aquatic resources.
27

Specific objectives in the Watershed Protection Ordinance are:
-Decision making processes for development that protects the integrity of watersheds and preserve the health of water
resources
-Requiring that new development and redevelopment maintain the pre-development hydrologic response in their post-
developmcnt state as nearly as practicable for the applicable design storm to reduce flooding, stream bank erosion, non poi nt
and point source pollution and increases in stream temperature and to maintaining the integrity of stream channels and
aquatic habitats
-Establishes minimum post-development stormwater management standards and design criteria for the regulation and
control of stormwater runoff quantity and quality
-Establishes design and review criteria for the construction, function, and use of structural stormwater BMP's that may be
used to meet the minimum post-development stormwater management standards
-Encourage the use of better management and site design practices, such as the use of vegetated conveyances for
stormwater and the preservation of greenspace, riparian buffers and other conservation areas to the maximum extent
practicable.
-Establishes provision for the long-term responsibility for and maintenance of structural and nonstructural stormwater 8MP's
to ensure they continue to function as designed
-Coordinate site design plans that include open space and naturals areas with the town of Jamestown Land Development
Ordinance and the 2020 Comprehensive Land Development Plan.
-Control illicit discharges into the municipal separate stormwater system
-Control erosion & sedimentation from construction activities.
Section 19-20.13 Buffer Requirements for surface waters ❑f the Land ❑evelopment Ordinance provides buffer zones for low
density & high density development. Perennial and Intermittent Surface water buffers are required. A surface water buffer
shall be maintained with a minimum width as specified and measured landward from the normal pool elevation of water
supply impoundment and from the bank of each side of perennial and intermittent streams, lakes and ponds. These waters
are indicated on the most recent version of either the USGS survey topographic maps or the Soil Survey maps developed by
the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service.

Open Space Protection - Land Use Development Article 21 -Open Space -The Town of Jamestown recognizes that the
preservation of open space in developing areas serves a variety of purposes, including meeting the recreational needs of
residents, improving the aesthetic character of the community, reducing stormwater runoff,and enhancing air quality.
Although open space can be agricultural or natural in character, open space is typically planned and developed as part of
a residential or non-residential development.
The Jamestown Ordinance sets out specific open space land area requirements for:
-initial residential development containing eight or more units
-redevelopment or additional development that adds eight or more units
-initial nonresidential or mixed use development
-redevelopment or additional development that adds 25% more nonresidential or mixed use floor area
29

The table below shows open space requirement:
ZONING ❑ISTRICT REQUIRED OPEN SPACE
All residential districts Single-family/duplex subdivision: 10%of subdivision lot
area. Other residential: 500 square feet of open space
per unit or 10% of lot area, whichever is greater.
Nonresidential uses (e.g. churches, schools, etc.): 10%of
lot area
All other districts, excluding MS(exempt from these 5% of lot area
requirements)
Regardless of the requirements and exemptions of open space, any portion of the site of the proposed development that
is designated as future open space or greenway in any official plan adopted by the Town of Jamestown shall be reserved
for open space. This area may be counted toward the total amount of open space required for development.
If the total amount of land required to comply with the area designated as future open space or greenway is less than
the total amount of open space required for the development by the above table, then the developer shall provide
additional open space to meet the requirement of the above table. If the amount of land designated as future open
space or greenway exceeds the total amount of open space required by the above table, then the developer must still
provide the open space designated in the official adopted plan.
Open space features should provide focal points for the neighborhood. A central square or green,for example, may
comprise a majority of the open space. Open space type includes Squares, Parks, Forecourts, Plazas, Greenways and
Natural and Agricultural.

Tree Preservation
The Town of Jamestown Land Development Ordinance contains Article 11— Landscape Requirements and Tree
Protection. The regulations are intended to reduce tree canopy loss and implement urban forest management
improvements through requirements for tree protection, tree preservation, the planting of trees and the maintenance of
existing and newly planted trees within the town of Jamestown. The Tree protection ordinance is intended to:
-Absorb carbon dioxide and return oxygen
-Reduce soil erosion and increase rainwater infiltration
-Provide shade for cooling
-Screen noise, dust,glad and visual intrusions
-Reduce storm-water runoff
-Maintain & improve appearance of the Town
-Provide habitat for wildlife
-Preserve and protect the natural environment
31

The Planning Director shall have the responsibility for overseeing the administration of the tree preservation ordinance.
The Public Services Director shall have responsibility and control ❑ver all trees and shrubbery planted or growing an
Town property.
The Town of Jamestown has a Tree Board to provide guidance for developing tree and landscaping programs and policy;
evaluate and monitor current regulations for effectiveness and recommend appropriate changes regarding Tree
Preservation Ordinance to the Town council; conduct education programs with respect to tree preservation; to review
and provide recommendations regarding long term tree management and maintenance plan for the Town; to review
appeals,order, requirements, decisions or interpretations made by Town staff charge with enforcing the Tree
Preservation Ordinance; to make recommendations to the BOA with reference to variances with relation to provision of
the Tree Ordinance, and to approve minor variations to the Tree Preservation Ordinance that provide equip ❑r better
compliance_ This is a seven (7) member board made up of citizens of Jamestown.
Street trees are required along all street frontages for all new developments with the exception ❑f single and two family
homes. Trees are required at the following rate:
-One large maturing tree-required for every 40 linear feet or street frontage. If overhead utilities are present, planning of
one small maturing tree for every 30 linear feet of property abutting a street is required.
-Where a street abuts a parking lot over 3000 sq. ft.and located within 50 feet of the edge of the pavement, shrubs shall
be planted at the rate of one deciduous or evergreen shrub for every 5 linear feet of vehicular use area abutting the
street in addition to the required street trees. The shrubs must achieve a minimum height of three feet at maturity.
-Street trees may be evenly space or spaced to accommodate existing site features. Street trees shall be a minimum of
fifteen (15) feet apart and a maximum of sixty five (65) feet apart. No street tree shall be located more than twenty five
(25) feet from the edge of pavement.
Street trees shall be planted in an eight (8)foot planting strip on private property, but may be planted in the Town right-
of-way with approval by the Town Manager. The planting width can be reduced to five (5) where necessary to
accommodate site features but should maintain are average of eight (8)feet. In urban districts, the trees may be place in
tree pits with grates that are a minimum of sixteen (16) square feet.
-Tree credits can apply for existing trees
-No more than fifteen (15)°I of the street-planting yard may be used for walkways or signs. Parking, merchandise
display, and off-street loading are prohibited in the street-planting yard.
32

Parking lot planting—Applicability. Parking lot landscaping shall be required for new parking lots with six (6) or more
spaces. Required canopy trees and shrubs shall be located within the parking lot and adjacent to parking space in
planting areas between rows of parking spaces, at the end of parking bays, in tree islands or around the periphery of the
lot.
The Planting rate for very fifteen hundred (1500) sq. ft. of vehicular use area, one (1) deciduous tree and four (4)shrubs
must be planted. At least seventy five (75) % of the trees shall be large maturing species. Trees and shrubs must be
planted within fifteen (15) feet of the VUSA to meet the requirement.
For new, expanded, or rebuilt parking lots where trees are being preserved adjacent to the parking lot in arder to meet
the parking lot planting requirements, trees preserved in a TCA and within fifteen (15) feet of the parking lot may be
used to satisfy up to fifty (50) percent ❑f the required number ❑f parking lot trees. Non-TCA trees located within the
parking area may count towards 100%of the requirement. Trees in the TCA counted toward planting yard requirements
may not count for required parking lot trees.
Reduction in parking requirement. To allow an existing development to retrofit or new development to preserve trees
within or adjacent to a parking lot, the number of required off-street parking spaces may be reduced by the Planning
Director by up to ten (10) %.
Tree islands and Medians—When more than four trees are required in a lot with interior rows, 50% ❑f the trees and
shrubs must be planted in islands or medians located within the parking lot. The planting islands or medians shall be a
minimum size of 200 sq. ft. with no dimension smaller than five (5) and an average width of ten (10) feet.
Multiple parking bays—When there are more than 4 bays of parking, an interior island with an average width of twenty
(20) feet and a length equivalent to the parking bay shall be constructed. It shall include a pedestrian walkway five (5)
feet or more wide and a planted strip on one or both sides. The median should be located in such a way as to enhance
pedestrian circulation within the development, leading to the entrance or to an adjacent sidewalk.
Perimeter Parking. All continuous runs of fifteen (15) or more parking spaces shall be interrupted by a tree island.
Grouping—Shrubs and trees may be grouped or clustered in the required planting yards, except for the perimeter
landscaping, adjacent to parking lots, outside storage, access drives, and loading and unloading areas. The remainder of
the materials shall be distributed throughout the plating yard. There shall be at least one (1) row of evergreen shrubs or
evergreen understory trees in all Type A planting yards.
33

Plant Protection— Whenever planting areas are adjacent to parking lots or drive, such areas shall be protected from
damage by vehicles, lubricants, or fuels. Curing or some other structure barrier is required to be placed around trees
within five ft. of a car bumper. Allowances may be made if rain gardens are incorporated into the planting area. Trees
and shrubs in islands should be set back at least three feet from the curb to allow for the operation of car doors.
Protection of Existing Trees—To receive credit,trees must be protected from direct and indirect root damage and trunk
and crown disturbance. The purpose of TCA (Tree Conservation Area) is to encourage the preservation of healthy trees
that are four (4) inches or greater in diameter at breast height (DBH)
In selecting which existing tree stands are t❑ be designated as TCA, the landowner shall give due consideration to
building, parking lot, driveway, street, and utility location as they relate to the practicality of preservation and shall use
the following tree preservation priority list:
-Existing stands of mature hardwoods as highest priority, then
-Existing stands of younger hardwoods then
-Existing specimen trees (as determined by the Planning ❑irector), then
-Existing stands ❑f hardwoods and Pine mix, and lastly
-Existing stands ❑f Pine trees, Preservation of a single Pine tree is not typically encouraged.

Street Design — Article 13—Streets, of the Land Development Ordinance— defines that street design should permit
comfortable use of the street by motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Pavement widths, design speeds, and the number
of motor travel lanes should be minimized to enhance safety for motorist and non-motorists alike. Streets should be
scaled to the pedestrian. The following specifications apply to street design:
- In the revised Town of Jamestown Technical Specifications manual,the Town has reduced the standards For street
width from 32' to 26' thus reducing the area of pavement.
- Strect trees and sidewalks are required on both side of public streets except rural roads, lanes, alleys and the
undeveloped edge of neighborhoods parkways except that sidewalks may be permitted only on one side of the street to
accommodate low impact design in the Agricultural District. The street tree planting strip should be a minimum of 5' in
width and sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5' in width. On commercial streets, sidewalks should be a minimum of 7' in
width. A 10' minimum width sidewalk with tree grates or cut-outs is required and 12' is encouraged on commercial
3S

streets, on properties and stmets adjacent to schools, and especially in the Main Street district. Generally, canopy trees
shall be planted at a spacing not to exceed 40' can center.
- On-street parking is recommended where building type and use will generate regular parking use. Occasion on-street
parking can be accommodated without additional pavement width. For streets that serve workplace and storefront
buildings, on-street parking lane(s)are required and should be marked as such. An ❑n-street parking lane on at least one
side of the street is recommended on streets serving attached houses and detached houses with lots 60' or less in width.
On-street parking lust als❑ be provided on one side of nay street adjacent to a square, park or other Urban Open Space.
On-street parking should be parallel; angled parking is ❑nly permitted as an intentional design element along the main
street of the retail center in a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND).
-Design speeds should not exceed 30 mph on any neighborhood street.
-Traffic control plans showing signage and pavement markings shall be prepared in accordance with the guidance ❑f the
Manual on Uniform Traffic control Devises. Design standards and specifications for Town Street are sot forth in the Town
of Jamestown Standards and Specifications Manual. See Section 40❑ street standards for description and drawings
number series 500 for standard drawings. (Adopted May 19, 2009.)
-Cul-de-sacs shall have a minimum of S' pedestrian access easement, and shall have paved pedestrian connections,
where practicable t❑ encourage pedestrian access connectivity.
REDUCED PARKING REQUIREMENTS
-The Land Development Plan describes in Table 12-1 the off-street parking requirements for Residential, Public Facilities
and Institutions, ❑ffice, business and institutional uses and other districts. Parking on streets shall be allowed along all
streets in residential districts except along alleys, designated bike lanes, and areas specifically signed for not parking.
Snared parking and remote parking is allowed. A sidewalk or other pedestrian way shall connect the shared parking area
to the uses for►nrhich parking is being provided.
-Off-street parking should be provided to meet the needs of the employees, clients and/or customers of the principal
use. Due to the potential for parking areas to use a large percentage ❑f a development site,efforts should be made to
accurately estimate the parking needs of the principal use. Strategies such as shared parking and remote parking should
be used to maximize the use of existing parking available in the area in which a use is to be located. Parking areas should
be designed to minimize breaks in the pedestrian environment along the public street and create safe and comfortable
passage for pedestrians. If a change in use causes an increase in the required number of off-street parking such
36

additional spaces shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the Land Development Ordinance; except
that if the change in use would require an increase of less than 5% in the required number of parking spaces or fewer
than 5 spaces, no additional off-street parking shall be required. All non-residential uses and all multi-family uses,
including condos and townhomes with shared parking, shall include bicycle parking spaces in the amount, at a minimum,
equal to 5%of the parking provided for automobiles.
-Off street areas used for special event parking (to accommodate occasional overflow volumes) may be constructed of
any dust-free, compacted, pervious ground cover; the owner of the property shall be responsible for the maintenance of
such parking in a clean and dust-free condition. Grass and mulch are examples of pervious ground cover;gravel and
pavements are examples of impervious surfaces.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS & STREET DESIGN
Article 2.21 of the Land Development ordinance—Green Building Incentives—states in order to promote sustainable
development practices, the Town of Jamestown may grant in all zoning districts, in addition to any density bonus, an
additional density bonus of up to 20%for residential developments and/or up to 10% increase in the maximum foot print
allowed for non-residential uses that meet or exceed NC Healthy Built Homes, LEER, or energy Star performance
qualifications.
Evidence of the developer's/applicant's commitment to comply with sustainable performance qualifications shall be
provided to the Town of Jamestown prior to plan approval. Compliance with such qualifications shall be certified by a
third party and no final CO and/or certificate of completion shall be issued for the project until compliance with the
qualifications has been certified by an independent third party. Should the developer/applicant not comply with the
approved plans, the Town of Jamestown shall have the authority to revoke any building permits, stop work, hold
certificates of occupancy, or other methods available to it under Article 23, Administration and Enforcement.
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES
The Town of Jamestown is located between the cities of Greensboro and Nigh Point. The heart of Jamestown has an
interconnected sidewalk system, which the Town continues to expand. The town has spent $750,000.00 building 3.6
37

miles of sidewalk from 1996 to 2007. In the spring of 2017,the Town will begin the sidewalk project t❑ connect GTCC
campus on E. Main Street with the downtown area. In addition, the Town negotiated with Norfolk Southern Railroad to
preserve the existing pedestrian tunnel under the railroad along E. Main St. This pedestrian tunnel will be an intricate
part of the E. Main Street sidewalk project.
-The Town of Jamestown is serviced by the Greensboro Transit Authority and High Point's Public Transportation.
-The Town of Jamestown has a series of local on-road bike routes that have been mapped by the High Point Area
Metropolitan Planring Organization (MPO). These routes serve to connect points of interest and were created in
consultation with local bicyclists.
-Greenways serve an important transportation need and can act as a unifying element that links neighborhoods, schools,
parks and other land uses together. Greenways can be especially valuable because they are usually created as
independent transportation elements that provide an alternative t❑ the automobile and can help reduce traffic
congestion and air pollution. When following streams, greenways provide buffers and help reduce pollution caused by
storm water surface runoff. The town of Jamestown is actively working ❑n a Deep River Walking trail, a Deep River
Paddle Trail and extension of sidewalks and installation of a pedestrian bridge along E. Fork Road to connect with
Jamestown Park, Bicentennial Greenway trail system and the Piedmont Environmental Center. The Town of Jamestown
approved a Parks & Recreation master Plan in 2007. This plan included a public survey and community meeting. The top
two priorities reported by the 409 parks & recreation master plan survey respondents included 1) additional
greenway/hiking traits and 2/pedestrian connectivity. There are currently over 15 miles of multi-use and hiking trains in
Jamestown.
