Subject: DWR's Comments for Swansboro Park
Brennan,
The DWR has reviewed the IP for Swansboro Park and have the following comments/concerns:
1. Can the Bojangles building and parking be shifted down (more towards NC Hwy 24) and have the Bojangles
building perpendicular to NC Hwy 24 to get it mostly out of the wetlands?
2. There seems to be more parking than what you would be require, please give the number of parking places per
square foot of restaurants and shops as required by the Town of Swansboro and justify/show these numbers on the
drawing.
3. The small wet detention basin needs to be pulled/shifted out of the wetlands.
4. The alternative analysis section states that "the site meets all of the Applicants criteria for development of 3
commercial buildings with associated infrastructure and parking" . The site drawing shows 4 buildings, so the
multipurpose building can be reduced in sized or removed to get the building and stormwater pond footprints out
of the wetlands.
5. Does the Bojangles and Starbucks buildings (now shown as two buildings) have to be stand- alone buildings? If
they were to be built together as three storefronts could this not shift the Bojangles out of the wetlands and
reduced the wetland impacts?
6. The proposed road entrance at the light, if the Bojangles was shifted down and made perpendicular to NC Hwy
24, could still be a viable option, but instead of it going all the way to the back of the property, it could wrap
around the Bojangles to access the Dollar General and Starbuck properties. This would minimize the wetland
impacts and if the stormwater pond shifted out of the wetlands may reduce your impacts to below the half
acre. This would still give the development the safe ingress and egress to the property with a light in addition to
the two other roads.
