STAFF REPORT

UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE

TEXT AMENDMENT

DOCKET: KT-230

PLANNING BOARD: 07/10/2017

PETITIONER: Curtis Swisher, Agent for the Town of Kernersville

REQUEST: Proposed Zoning Text Amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)

by amending various sections of the Unified Development Ordinance to provide

non-substantive administrative changes.

REQUEST #1: A portion of Chapter B; Article II (2)(1)(6)(F) was inadvertently removed per

KT-227. Request to reinstate the following paragraph as shown in Section 1 of the attached Draft

Ordinance:

(F) Town of Kernersville Zoning Overlay Districts

(1) Purpose. The State of North Carolina General Statutes permit municipalities to establish

zoning overlay districts. Within the zoning overlay district, additional requirements may be

imposed over the underlying general use and special use zoning districts. The Town of

Kernersville recognizes, through an extensive community discussion process, that general use and

special use zoning districts alone cannot accomplish the goals of the community. It is determined

that zoning overlay districts offer the opportunity to develop growth management regulations that

will guide development towards accomplishing the community goals of maintaining

Kernersville’s small town atmosphere, creating a quality community, and improving the

community’s livability. These goals protect and enhance individuals’ welfare and market the

community for quality development.

REQUEST #2: Standards for Development Within the TO District table was removed per KT-

227, making this paragraph no longer applicable. Request to remove the following paragraph as

shown in Section 2 of the attached Draft Ordinance:

Chapter B; Article II, 2-1.6 (B)(2)(e)(vi)

(vi) Setback. Any new structure or vehicular use area, including parking lots, loading areas,

and driveways, and any addition to an existing structure or vehicular use area shall be set back a

minimum distance from the right-of-way line as indicated below:

REQUEST #3: Amend Chapter B; Article VI, Chapter C; Article IV, Chapter D (4)(E)(1), and

Chapter D(4)(H) of the Unified Development Ordinance to remove KT-199 adopted language

extending previously issued development approvals that were valid during a four-year window of

Page 5 of 183

3

time between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011. Request to remove the following language

as shown in Sections 3 – 7 of the attached Draft Ordinance:

For any development approval that is current and valid at any point during the period beginning

January 1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2011, the running of the period of the development

approval and any associated vested right under G.S. 153A-344.1 or G.S. 160A-385.1 is suspended

during the period beginning January 1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2011.

REQUEST #4: A majority of the counties in North Carolina as well as other states are using the

PIN (Parcel Identification Number) System, which has been recommended by the State of North

Carolina's Land Records Management Program since the late 1970s. Both Forsyth and Guilford

Tax Offices use PINs (Parcel Identification Number) as the primary identifier assigned to parcels

of real property by the tax assessor for purposes of identification and record-keeping. Request

update to reflect Tax PIN requirement vs. Tax Lot and Block, as shown in Sections 8 and 9 of the

attached Draft Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Ordinance as submitted by Staff

MEMORANDUM To: Curtis Swisher, Town Manager

From: Franz Ader, Finance Director

Date: July 31, 2017

Subject: Real Property, Paving, and Fire Station Construction: Financing Recommendation

The following expenditures were approved for purchase in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Operating Budget: Purchase of Land and Construction of a new Fire Station ($6,900,000), Purchase of Real Property ($552,000), and Paving of Town-owned Streets ($1,000,000).

The Finance Department submitted a proposal request to thirteen lenders for a loan financing contract in a total amount not to exceed $8,452,000 to fund the aforementioned. The funding proposal requested a fixed interest rate and a term of fifteen years for the Fire Station project and a term of ten years for the purchase of paving and real property. Two lenders responded with quotes: BB&T and First National.

Real Property, Paving, and Fire Station Construction: Financing Recommendation FYE18 Page 2 of 2

Regarding the Fire Station Project, BB&T Governmental Finance submitted the only proposal that met the specifications of a fifteen-year term with a fixed interest rate. Their loan consists of sixty quarterly payments with equal principal and a fixed interest rate of 2.63%. The total loan cost is $8,285,159 including a $1,450 loan closing cost.

First National Bank submitted two competitive loan proposals for the Fire Station project, each with their own conditions: one proposal contained an interest rate reset at year nine and the other contained an interest rate swap agreement. Also, both contained substantial depository account requirements and additional fees. Considering the aforementioned, these two proposals were deemed not to be in the best interest of the Town. Regarding the Real Property and Paving Project, BB&T Governmental Finance submitted a proposal for the Real Property and Paving Project that met the specifications of forty quarterly payments with equal principal and a fixed interest rate of 2.42%. The BB&T total loan cost is $1,745,937 including a $1,450 loan closing cost.

First National Bank submitted a loan proposal of 2.25% with the same term period. Including loan costs, their total loan cost is $1,739,336. When comparing the two lenders, the First National proposal bested BB&T’s by $6,601. However, the requirement of First National to open a 10% depository account for the life of the loan was deemed not to be in the best interest of the Town. In conclusion, based on BB&T’s submittal of financing terms that best meets the needs of the Town and the fact that the Town does not have a prevalence of loan prepayment, I recommend that BB&T Governmental Finance be awarded an installment financing contract in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-20 for the completion of the Fire Station Project and the Real Property and Paving Project.

Action Requested: Board of Aldermen award a Fire Station Construction, Real Property, and Paving Project financing contract with BB&T Governmental Finance and approval of the attached Financing Resolution. Note: A financing contract will not be executed with any lender until the North Carolina – Local Government Commission (LGC) considers and favorably approves such at their scheduled meeting on September 12, 2017.

shall cause its interest payments on this financing to be includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owners of the interest payment obligations.

To C'hris=Comerand the Spring FollyCommittee Members,

The following group of merchants and business owners met on _2Q,;i_Z to discussconcerns that we have about the Spring Follyevent that takes place each May in downtownKernersvillez

Kevin and Lisa Bugg — The Collegiate ShopJohn Crutch?eld - Musten &Crutch?eldChris Federico - Eclection and Breathe LoungeChris Hammer - GiadasAngela Jarman - Southwinds GalleryTim Love - Love That MusicSheila Lyons — Lets Shoppe Downtown

Whilethis group by no means encompasses all of downtown, we do feel that we represent a fairshare of those who have chosen to invest our time and our livelihoods in downtown Kernersville.Our concerns have arisen out of a feeling of missed opportunities and losses that we have allexperienced during the Spring Follyevent; loss of traf?c, loss of exposure, and loss of revenue.Our concerns are the following:(1) garbage trucks and other town vehicles being parked in such a way that they effectivelyblock businesses from easy view and foot traf?c(2) garbage trucks being parked near residential apartments(3) placement of entertainments (for example the BMXexhibition this year) that effectivelyblock off the street from foot traf?c(4) the lack of a stage on N. Main St. this year(5) the Historic Depot not being included in the footprint of the Spring Folly(6) a lack of planned activities on W. Mountain St. sufficient to encourage foot traf?c(7) overcrowded conditions on E. MountainSt.(8) a lack of clear cut set of rules (beyond the ordinances) letting business owners know what isand what is not allowedoutside of their buildings, speci?cally the use of ?yers, tents, sidewalkspace, etc. - we have all been told con?icting things over they years(9) Spring Follyordinances currently in place that have become outdated as downtown has

grown and changed over the last 26 years(10) a lack of de?ned focus and purpose as the Spring Follyhas grown from its beginnings as acelebration of a bicyclerace coming through town.

We do not bring these concerns to you to create problems, we all want to be a part of puttingpast issues behind us and moving forward in a positive manner that willbene?t both the SpringFollyin coming years, and all the merchants and business owners who have made a long term

investment in downtown Kernersville. In that spirit we offer the following viable and practical

solutions to the concerns we have expressed about the Spring Folly:(1) close Railroad St. to through traf?c, reserving it for service and emergency vehicles, thiswould still allow for public safety and would take them out of the Spring Follyproper allowing

Page 18 of 183

'more~of N. Main St. to be better utilized for other purposes - for instancereorganizingthe craft show portion to have better ?ow along N. Main St.(2) moving garbage trucks to RailroadSt. along with otherservice and emergency vehicles

would take care of the issue of apartment dwellers smelling garbage all weekend(3) thoughtful consideration should be given to future placements of entertainments — thoughtshould be given to the strengths of different areas of downtown and they should be played to,for example N. Main St. with its bars and restaurants should have an adult focus, forexample a food/wine/beer tastings tent, or area, that would include local restaurants and foodpurveyors (likeGiadas and Musten &Crutch?eld), wineries, and breweries(4) music needs to be brought back to the N. Main St. area, it was always music that wasdifferent in style from that being offered on the main stage and appealed to different people - thestage should also be pushed back to the railroad tracks, this way no business arecaught behind the stage which creates a barrier to people walking down the street(5) the Historic Depot should be incorporated into the footprint of the Spring Folly,this wouldplay into the idea of N. Main St being more adult oriented and would highlightone of downtown'streasures(6) while W.Mountain St. does have a theme of Heritage Row there needs to be followthrough

with planning to bring organized activities to this area - old time craft demonstrations could beorganized through local craft guilds, a camp of reenactors would be fun on the museumgrounds, a stage could be set up for old time music such as bluegrass with playingtimesalternating with the music in Harmon Park so they wouldn'tbe playing over each other, a

display of old tractors and farm equipment could be parked along the street, old fashionedtreats such as lemonade, kettle corn, candy apples, and peanuts would be a natural ?t in front ofthe KernersvilleMuseum and would attract people, the possibilities are pretty endless(7) E. Mountain has become too crowded as the years have gone by and is almost impossible

to navigate — we recognize this is a traditional part of the Spring Follyand as such willcontinue,but we believe that the number of vendors should be scaled back to a more reasonablenumber, and that certain types of businesses should be limited in number - for example clothingvendors that are in direct competition with many of our downtown stores - when theSpring Follywas begun, there were not as many retailers downtown so the commercial vendorsdid not competedirectly with downtown businesses, now however that is not the case(8) if rules are in place they should be easy enough to produce, if they are not in place thensome should be put in place - the ordinances are not rules, and they do not cover all the practicalquestions that arise, businesses are receiving con?icting information on what is andis not allowedand we need clari?cation— it would be beneficial if downtown businesses hadsome input in these rules(9) we feel like it is time to reexamine the Spring Follyordinances that are currently in place,

many things have changed in Kernersvillein the last 26 years and we believe it is onlycommonsense to reexamine and review these ordinances to see how they can better serve thetown, the Spring Folly,and the businesses affected by them(10) the purpose of the Spring Follyshould be well de?ned in such a way that the very de?nitionof it willhelp dictate the future direction it takes - and we all want it to have a future that we can

Page 19 of 183

A be proud of and be part of.

As stated, we are not coming to you to create more problems, we want to work with you onsolutions. We as Chamberof Commerce members and downtown merchants ask you tohonestly and thoughtfully consider the solutions we have submitted and look forward to hearingfrom you on the details of their implementation in a reasonable timeframe. Thank you.

Semi-Annual Report of In-Kind Services

August 1, 2017

The Kernersville Chamber of Commerce has had a good six months in 2017. This is the beginning of the

fifth year of managing downtown marketing, hosting many of the functions previously operated by the

Kernersville Downtown Preservation & Development Council. Business development throughout the

entire service area continues to be strong and chamber programs have been well received. The chamber is

a business development support organization.

Downtown Marketing: Significant attention continues to be directed to downtown marketing. The

move to full time for the Downtown Marketing Developer has increased opportunities. The Chamber has

maintained the key downtown events of Downtown Trick or Treat and the Downtown Open House, with

continued to focus on marketing awareness, as well as added commercials. Our Downtown relationships

continue to improve.

Social, media and print marketing continue to increase awareness of our community. We have

increased the usage of all this year with a doubling in social following and intentional reach in the

Oak Ridge, High Point and Winston-Salem areas.

o We had a very successful marketing campaign end of May through beginning of July

working with Fox 8. We created an ad with Twin City Media to target those 21 -34 years

of age.

Downtown Sidewalk Saturdays have been held June and July with planning through October.

There was increasing success in encouraging shop owners to do promotions and fly gold and black

balloons on the sidewalk of their business. We collaborate with the days the Cruise-ins would be

held to encourage Kernersville as a destination for the day.

In conjunction with the Parks and Rec Department we will be working on the Downtown Trick

or Treat night on Halloween.

Working with the Museum continues. We had a good showing during Spring Folly at the Depot

and the Museum in collaboration with Heritage Square.

We continue our collaborations to highlight downtown shopping day’s year round with special

events placed on social media that our downtown merchants provide in collaborations.

We will again offer events during the holidays and apply to be a #shoplocal town.

Meet Me on Main meets quarterly at different locations that host in Downtown. These meetings

have become very successful. The number of collaborations continues to increase among our

downtown merchants as they meet and share at Meet Me on Main.

The Downtown committee continues to be active and meets once a month at the Chamber.

The BrickMarkers continue to be popular. Located at the flag pole at Town Hall, the trellis on

South Main and the Depot on North Main. The ceremony was very well received on June 10.

Page 21 of 183

Business Development Activities in 2017:

Triad Job Fair, including a resume’ writing learning session and computer lab. This is a free

event for job seekers, open to the public, and was held on February 27, 2017. There continued to

be an emphasis of involvement of larger local employers including Deere Hitachi, Novant Health,

Best Logistics and Herbalife. Employers from trucking to insurance were also in attended. The

Fair is scheduled in September for 2018. Resources will be included.

Downtown Kiosk: A major enhancement of downtown, the unit has been in repair for the past

six months. We would like to move the kiosk to an area that receives less direct weather. The

intention of the unit is an attention-getter with a live news and weather feed. It was paid for by

business sponsorships with the operational costs part of the chamber’s downtown services. This

will be moved to the new park on Main and West Mountain.

Business Education and Training seminar series had successful seminars so far in 2017. Tech

clinic, LinkedIn and how to increase your customer base have been presented so far this year. In

addition, the Downtown Committee and Chamber have worked with Forsyth Tech Small Business

Center to assist small business owners.

Healthy Living Expo – health related show. Attendance is free and open to the public. The event

helps the public get access to health care information and helps businesses to get an opportunity to

show the public what they do in the area of health care and senior services. The name of the event

was changed in 2017 to Healthy Living Expo and held on April 25 from 3 – 7 PM. It was very

well received. The committee will offer this again next year from 3-6 PM.

12 Business of the Month presentations.

Small Business Awards breakfast was held in May, recognizing the Small Business Person of

the Year, Minority Small Business Person of the Year, Small Business Advocate of the Year, and

the Duke Energy Citizenship award. The 2017 program was held May 18.

Leadership Kernersville, encouraging business people to become knowledgeable and involved in

the community, graduated one class in May and will start a new class of 20 business people this

month. The town has played a key leadership role in teaching the various sessions.

The Lunch with Leaders series continues to be a success! Held on March 2, June 6 and again on

September 12; topics included “Growth in Your Town & County, Town and State Infrastructure

and Health Care Leaders. With an average of 60 in attendance on each date, this small group

event allows everyone to ask questions in the beautiful Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden

already in 2017.

18 ribbon cuttings were held so far in 2017.

Page 22 of 183

Community Quality-of-Life Events.

Our goal with community “Quality of Life events” is to promote Kernersville as a wonderful place to live.

This helps in business recruitment. We have tried to develop many of these events with an opportunity to

promote the business community, and to be a catalyst for cooperation between the business, non-profit

and community at large. Attendance to all but the golf league is free to the public because the chamber

secures sponsorships to cover the event costs.

Spring Folly had very strong regional attendance. Its success has been documented by the “Top

20 Festival in the Southeastern United States award in 1997 and 2014. A key component was

awareness in the southern regions with the addition of electronic signage and Travel magazines.

This year was the 25th Spring Folly held May 5,6, and 7 with many exciting events, groups and

activities. The music was fantastic and the weather cooperated most of the weekend. A highlight

this past year was the BMX shows held on North Main.

2 Music at Twilight concerts have been held so far this season. With two more to go: August 17

and October 26, these two concerts as well as the July concert are being held at the Paul J. Ciener

Botanical Garden. Beach, Blues, and soft rock music is enjoyed by anywhere from 200 to 400.

The Veterans celebration in May was very popular.

The K-Mazing Race is a well-attended event meant to increase teamwork and FUN! This year

was the final year of the race with the past winners going head to head in a dual throughout town.

Highland Industries beat the YMCA in a very close points race.

4th of July Concert & Fireworks had excellent attendance, and continues to be a wonderful

partnership with the Town of Kernersville. The chamber pays all of the cost of the concert (band,

stage and sound) and splits the cost of the fireworks with the Parks & Rec Department.

Kernersville Night at the Dash will be held this Thursday, August 3, 2017 with chamber board

chair Courtney Turlington throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.

The chamber’s annual banquet provides recognition to outstanding community leaders and will

be held at Summerfield Farms this year on November 13. Four major awards are presented:

Community Distinguished Service Award, Citizen of the Year, Key Volunteer and Chairman’s

Award. In addition, the Joan and Lee Hope Impact Award, Lawrence E. Pope Economic

Development Award and a new award The Better Business Bureau Innovation Award, may be

presented each year.

The Kernersville Christmas Parade continues to be well received by our community. The

Parade is scheduled for December 3, 2017.

Community support

Page 23 of 183

Education grants: In 2017 we have held one of the three Eating for Education promotional days

to raise funds for education grants; held on the second Wednesday of July, August and

September. In addition, we raise funds from chamber member businesses to support the five-

hundred dollar grants to the public schools this fall. Our goal is to offer as many grants as we

possibly can. This is a great example of the chamber mobilizing the business community to

support public education.

Financial support of Kernersville Foundation, with a portion of net proceeds from Spring Folly.

We are committed to granting a portion of proceeds to the Kernersville Foundation for distribution

to 501-c-3 organizations as the foundation advisory committee.

Use of chamber meeting room by community and business groups.

Forsyth Tech Small Business Center collaboration with trainings and business counsel.

Convenient ticket distribution location: The chamber handles ticket sales for a number of

community events, such as Sister City Commission, Kernersville Cares for Kids and Kiwanis Club

events. We do this because we maintain consistent office hours and are convenient to the general

public.

The Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC), completed the final draft on the 2020

plan with one additional goal to complete the plan: A Civic Center.

Summary

The chamber board continues to serve the community as a whole, as well as providing business services

for our growing membership. Our chamber collaborates with all historical and town entities. We are

proud to serve the Kernersville area. We appreciate all of the support we receive from the town and our

community!

A RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING AN AREA AS UNDER CONSIDERATION

FOR ANNEXATION AND NOTIFICATION TO QUALIFIED

PROPERTY OWNERS OF THEIR RIGHT TO DELAYED ANNEXATION

WHEREAS, §160A-49(i) of the North Carolina General Statutes requires municipalities

to adopt a Resolution of Consideration of an area for annexation at least one year prior to the

adoption of a Resolution of Intent to annex the property; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Kernersville has reviewed areas

contiguous to the Town and determined that annexation may be initiated in certain of the areas

within the statutory time limits and deems it appropriate to identify those areas as being under

consideration for annexation,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the

Town of Kernersville that:

Section 1. Pursuant to North Carolina Gen. Stat. §160A-49(i), the area shown on the attached

map, denoted as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, is identified as being under

consideration for future annexation by the Town of Kernersville in accordance with Chapter

160A, Article 4A, Section 3 of the General Statutes.

Section 2. Owners of agricultural land, horticultural land or forest land within the area identified

as under consideration for annexation in Section 1 are hereby notified that they may have the

right to delay the effective annexation date. North Carolina Gen. Stat.§160A-49(fl) provides that

this delay may apply when either (a) land is taxed at present-use value pursuant to G. S.

§105-277.4 or (b) the tax assessor certifies that the land is being used for actual production and

would be eligible for present-use value under §105-277.4 but has not been used for actual

production for the time required by §105-277.3. For such tracts, annexation would become

effective on the last day of the month the tract or portion thereof either becomes ineligible for

present-use value classification under §105-277.4 or no longer meets the requirements of

§160A-49(fl)(2). Until annexation, the tract is not subject to Town taxation or entitled to receive

Town services. During the delayed annexation period, such tract is considered part of the Town

for establishing Town boundaries for additional annexations and for the exercise of Town

authority for planning and regulation of development.

Section 3. A copy of this Resolution shall be filed with the Town Clerk of Kernersville.

Section 4. This Resolution shall remain effective as provided by G. S. §160A-49(i).

Adopted this the 1st day of August, 2017.

Memo

To: Mayor Morgan and Board of Aldermen Cc: Curtis Swisher, Town Manager From: Rochelle Joseph, Senior Planner

Date: July 14, 2017

Re: 2016 Growth and Traffic Data Annual Report

The 2016 Annual Report Growth and Traffic Data report is an annual compilation of data

describing both historic development trends and projections, with additional sources included for

population and employment comparison and analysis. The report provides an interesting picture

of trends over time for population, traffic, economics and development; but in some instances, it

is a static picture for data such as homeownership, age and gender breakdowns. The 2016 Growth

and Traffic Data report is intended to be “easy-to-use” by including mostly charts and tables with

accompanying text providing only general explanatory descriptions, and makes use of data from a

wide variety of sources.

The Board of Aldermen’s adopted Thoroughfare and Street Plan requires an annual review of the

Town’s growth data. Staff met with the appointed Growth and Traffic Data Committee members

Clarence Lambe, Jr., and Susan Fradenburg for their review and comments prior completion of

the attached draft of the 2016 Annual Report – Growth and Traffic Data.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

KERNERSVILLE GROWTH & TRAFFIC DATA: 2016 2

The Kernersville Board of Aldermen’s adopted Thoroughfare and Street Plan requires an annual

review of the Town’s growth data.

The Plan states:

A citizen group shall be formed by the Board of Aldermen to undertake an annual review

of the Town’s growth data and provide comments to the Planning Board and Board of

Aldermen on data generated at the Town, county, regional, state, and federal levels. The

citizen group shall be made up of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional

property owners.

The Community Development Department updated the report with 2016 growth data. The

Report is broken down into the following five sections:

Section 1 - United States Census: The census section provides Kernersville’s historic population

growth. A comparison of Kernersville’s census data is compared to the State of North Carolina

and the United States in order to determine similarities. If a community is similar to State and

National data, it can anticipate following State and National trends.

Section 2 - Town of Kernersville Growth Data: The Town has been maintaining permit data

since 1995. That permit data provides historic development trends. The North Carolina State

Demographer population estimates are also provided. The Demographer estimates assist in

understanding what the current population is between the 10-year U.S. Census estimates.

Section 3 - Economic Data: The United States Census undertakes a census of businesses. The

business data is then used by private data firms to produce projections. The Town of

Kernersville subscribes to ESRI Business Online.

Section 4 - Growth Projections: Detailed growth projections are provided in this section. The

projections are based upon development trends, economy, infrastructure, demographics, and

supply of available development sites.

Section 5 - Traffic Data: The United States Department of Transportation traffic data is

reviewed to determine the national trend. The North Carolina Department of Transportation

detailed traffic counts, which are undertaken every two years, are provided from 2003 to 2015.

Business Establishment Mix

The business mix in Kernersville is

extremely balanced between industrial,

retail, professional services (finance,

insurance, and real estate), and

government services. That balance has

made Kernersville’s economy more

resilient during the economic downturns

since the Town does not rely upon one

type of business sector. The business

mix also offers our citizens a wider range

of employment options.

TRIAD JOB CENTER - The business and employee data reflects that Kernersville is a major job center in the Triad

metropolitan region with an Employee/Residential Population Ratio” of “.75:1”. This ratio is similar to Greensboro’s

“.74:1”, and higher than Winston-Salem’s “.67:1” and High Point’s “.68:1”. With 18,235 jobs and only 24,306 citizens

of which 4,141 citizens are over the age of 65, and 5,999 are under the age of 19, Kernersville has to import workers.

A major misconception about Kernersville is the perception of being a bedroom community. The economic data

clearly shows Kernersville is a significant job center in the Triad.

Previous Projections

Prior to 2011, the Community Development Department’s growth projections were based on the Town

of Kernersville following historic annexation trends. This projection technique, “trend extrapolation,”

takes past trends and carries them into the future. Trend extrapolation projections are reliable when

the historic data remains the same, but in 2011 the State of North Carolina passed anti-annexation

legislation, essentially inhibiting the Town of Kernersville from following previous annexation trends.

Without the ability to annex areas with existing populations, Kernersville’s population growth rate will

greatly decrease compared to historic growth rates. To forecast the population without annexation will

require the Town to concentrate only on new housing unit growth taking place within the current Town

limits.

Town Limits and Population Growth 1970 to 2015

Economy

The regional economy is a major variable impacting growth in an urban community. Kernersville’s

growth is directly tied to the Piedmont Triad Metropolitan Region economy. Kernersville has a strong

network of roads, water and sewer capacity, and available undeveloped land to support growth. To go

along with those growth supporting variables, Kernersville’s central location also further supports

additional growth.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Center for Business and Economic Research, Dixon

Hughes Goodman – Triad Business Index provides the most comprehensive analysis of the Triad economy.

The Triad Business Index reflects that the Metropolitan Region is recovering from the 2007-09 recession

(see Graph 4-2 below).

Graph 4-2 Dixon Hughes Goodman - Triad Business Index February 2015

Source: Dixon Hughes Goodman Triad Business Index. The Triad is defined as an eight-county area that is composed of Alamance, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, and Yadkin.

The current unemployment rate is around 5%, which some economists consider full employment. Full

employment in a metropolitan region attracts employees who move to the region to further add to the

economic growth. Low unemployment rates assist in increasing wages which also adds to the economic

growth. Economic growth and new jobs create demand for housing, new housing creates demand for

new commercial retail and services.

Infrastructure

The Town has strategically invested in sewer and transportation improvements to support growth.

Kernersville continues to update the Kernersville Development Plan’s sewer and transportation planning

elements to ensure the Town’s infrastructure capacity is available to support growth.

Housing Supply and Demand Trend

Housing demands from homebuyers determine what type of housing supply is needed. Demographic

trends of homebuyers play a major role in housing demands. The following highlights were obtained

from the 2015 National Association of Realtors and shows national homebuyer generational trends.

Page 55 of 183


Characteristics of Home Buyers Gen Y comprises the largest share of home buyers at 32

percent, which is larger than all Baby Boomers combined. Younger Boomers comprise 16 percent and Older Boomers comprise 15 percent of recent home buyers. Generation X made up 27 percent of recent buyers and the Silent Generation has the smallest share of home buyers at 10 percent.

Thirteen percent of all buyers purchased a multi-generational home, one in which the home consists of adult children over the age of 18, and/or grandparents residing in the home. This is most prevalent among Younger Boomers aged 50 to 59, at 21 percent. The most common reason for this living arrangement among Younger Boomers was children over 18 moving back into the house (37 percent), followed by health/caretaking of aging parents (21 percent).

Thirty-nine percent of Gen Y buyers primarily purchased a home just for the desire to own a home of their own. Gen X placed a high importance on owning a home of their own, but many needed to move for a change in a family situation or a job-related relocation. Older Boomers are more likely to move for retirement, the desire to be closer to friends, family, and relatives, and the desire for a smaller home, while Younger Boomers are likely to move for a job-related relocation and to downsize.

Characteristics of Homes Purchased At least 80 percent of buyers who are aged 59 and

younger bought a detached single-family home, while it is increasingly common for buyers over the age of 59 to purchase townhouses and condos.

Thirteen percent of buyers over the age of 49 purchased a home in senior-related housing for themselves or others. This is most common for buyers over the age of 69, a category in which nearly one-quarter of buyers purchased a home in senior-related housing.

Gen Y and Gen X tend to stay close to their previous residence, often staying within 10 miles, while Older

Boomers tend to move the longest distance 30 miles and the Silent Generation tend to move 20 miles from their previous home.

Younger buyers tend to buy older homes, and are more likely to buy previously owned homes. Most often they do so because the home is a better price and better overall value. Older Boomers and the Silent Generation are more likely than other generations to purchase a new home, most often doing so to avoid renovations or problems with plumbing or electricity and for the amenities in new home construction communities.

Neighborhood factors which are important to buyers show strong connections to the buyer’s generation. Gen Y places the highest preference compared to other generations on convenience to job as well as affordability of homes. As buyers’ children reach school age, the quality of school districts and convenience to schools starts to have a larger importance—this is most often true for Gen X. Older Boomers and the Silent Generation place higher priority on convenience to friends and family and convenience to health facilities.

Younger buyers placed a high importance on commuting costs, while older buyers placed higher importance on landscaping for energy conservation and energy efficient lighting.

The older the home buyer, the fewer compromises the buyer tended to make with their home purchase—48 percent of the Silent Generation made no compromises on their home purchase. Younger buyers tended to make sacrifices on the price of the home, size of the home, and condition of the home purchased.

After finding the home they wanted, Gen Y and Gen X expect to live in their home for 10 years before moving on. Younger Boomers and the Silent Generation expect to live in their home for 15 years and Older Boomers plan to live in their home for 20 years. It should be noted that expected tenure is generally longer than actual tenure in home.

Year Born: Age in 2013:

Gen Y: 1980-2000 34 and younger

Gen X: 1965-1979 35 to 49

Younger Boomers: 1955-1964 50 to 59

Older Boomers: 1946-1954 60 to 68

Silent Generation: 1925-1945 69 to 89

Page 56 of 183


Along with the generational differences in home preferences, the make-up of the households will greatly

shape housing demands. Arthur C. Nelson 2009 report “The New Urbanity: The Rise of a New America”

summaries well the changing households:

“The period from 2010 to 2030 will see as sweeping a change to America’s metropolitan landscape as

the half century after World War II. During the baby boom era, 1946 through 1964, about half of

American households were raising children; in 2030, only about a quarter will be. Between 2010 and

2030, the increase in the number of single-person households will be more than double the increase in

the number of households with children. A major reason is the aging of the boomers: in 2010, 13

percent of the population will be age sixty-five or over; but by 2030, 19 percent of the population will

be. There will be changes in the kind of housing and neighborhoods that households prefer. More than

half of all households will prefer housing in neighborhoods that comprise such “urbanity” attributes as

transit accessibility; proximity to shopping and restaurants; mixed uses including mixed housing

choices; and mixed incomes, ages, and ethnicities. Moving toward this new urbanity will require

reconsideration of several policies with roots dating from the baby boom era.”

Household Composition 1967 to 2015

The Town’s adopted Kernersville Development Plan’s goal of having a “progressive planning program” has well served the community. Large mixed-use developments of Calebs Creek, Welden and Smith Crossing, and traditional subdivision like Glennstone will assist in meeting future home buyer’s demands. Also, continue enhancement and expansion of our downtown as a strong urban core will promote residential redevelopment of the central area of Kernersville. The following tables provide a list and status of current approved residential developments.

2016 to 2025 New Housing Start Projections

The Community Development Department’s housing and population projections are

based on the Town’s historical housing permitting trends, the available supply of

approved housing projects, the Dixon Hughes Goodman LLC & Triad Business Index

prepared by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Center for Business and

Economic Research, and demographic changes.

During the past 20-year period in which housing unit numbers were

compiled, two national recessions occurred. The projections

undertaken in this report do not include recession(s) that could

cause a decline in housing permits. During previous recessions, the

Federal Reserve would drop interest rates to stimulate the

economy and new housing. However, with current interest rates

set at historically low rates, reducing the rates to address a

recession would have limited impact, which could lengthen the

period of the next recession.

To the right is a table illustrating the duration and years between

recessions since 1945. Between 1945 and the Great Recession in

2007, we averaged a recession approximately every 4.5 years.

Since the recovery of the Great Recession in 2009, we have been

recession-free for over 7 years. At the time of the next recession

staff will revise the growth projections.

The National Association of Realtors 2013 Survey asked the

question: “right now, if you could choose, which of the following

would you prefer?” See the choices and responses to the right.

Fifty-two percent (52%) preferred “single-family detached home

with a large yard”. Also, the survey found thirty percent (30%)

preferred “single-family attached home” or “single-family detached

home on a small yard”, and fourteen percent (14%) an “apartment”

or “condominium”. It should be noted that “large yard” and

“small yard” were not defined. Most people in Kernersville would

most likely define a “large yard” as one-third (1/3) of an acre or

more. Kernersville has a strong supply of single family detached

homes with such yards. Kernersville has less supply of “single-family attached” or “single-family detached on

a small yard”, and very limited “condominium” supply.

During the recession, Arthur C. Nelson, Professor of Planning and Real Estate Development at the University of

Arizona published “The New Urbanity: The Rise of a new America”, which is one of the most quoted

documents on how our demographics will change the demand for housing. The National Association of

Realtors published the following table illustrating his findings:

The preferences of today’s homebuyers do not reflect demographic changes that will cause a shift in housing

demands.

A National Association of Realtors 2015 “Community & Transportation Preference Survey” did find common

preferences for walkable communities, with easy access to highways, short commutes and public transit

nearby. Fortunately for Kernersville, the downtown area along with the approved mixed-use developments

of Welden, Calebs Creek, and Smith Crossing are designated areas to meet the demands for walkable mixed-

use developments that will offer a mix of housing types to meet changing demographic demands. The Town

is also pursuing the construction of greenways and sidewalks to retrofit existing residential and commercial

areas to make them more attractive for future buyers and businesses that are looking for walkable, mixed-use,

and livable communities. Kernersville is a job center in the Triad. Along with its central location, it makes

for low commute times. The region’s urban area metropolitan planning organizations, which include PART,

are pursuing expansion of public transit.

The Triad Business Journal reported job growth in the Greensboro metro area between October 2015 to

October 2016 showing a gain of 7,900 new jobs, and 3,100 new jobs in the Winston-Salem metro area. That is

a combined job growth of 11,000 new jobs in areas for which Kernersville has the potential to supply work

force housing. To meet the growing demand for housing, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s

Center for Business and Economic Research, Dixon Hughes Goodman – Triad Business Index reported the

Graph 4-5 Projected Housing Demands

Page 61 of 183


Triad’s residential permits from May 2015 to May 2016 rose 13.1% and nationally 22.8%, while Kernersville’s

residential permits rose 47% from 43 to 81. Additionally, Kernersville issued 99 new residential permits from

May of 2016 through February 2017.

Single-Family Residential Detached

Single-family residential “detached” homes are housing units that are usually occupied

by one household or family and typically have open space on all four sides and is not

attached to any other structure. The single-family residential “detached” home typically

occupies its own zoning lot.

Between 1996 and 2016, 2,202 single-family detached homes were built in the Town of Kernersville and a small

percentage in the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). On average, approximately 105 homes were built each year.

Kernersville’s “single-family residential detached” permits peaked at 209 in 2003. During that period of time,

the Town of Kernersville began to oppose “tract housing”, which is a housing development in which nearly

identical houses are built. This was the preferred housing type of national residential building companies

during the housing bubble. The Town felt “tract housing” did not contribute to the Town’s goals of

“maintaining Kernersville’s a small town atmosphere” and “establishing Kernersville as a unique high-quality

community within the Triad.”

During the build-up to the 209 peak in permits for single-family detached housing, Kernersville was averaging a

9% growth rate per year in permits. Using the projection technique, “trend extrapolation,” which takes past

trends and carries them into the future, that 9% growth rate was used for the Community Development

Department’s 2016-2025 projections. A 9% growth rate in permits creates an average of 173 detached

housing units built annually.

The projection of an average of 173 detached housing units built annually would generate 1,561 new single-

family detached homes over the next 9 years. Current approved residential developments are expected to

mirror that projection.

Housing Units Permits 1996 - 2016 2017 - 2025 Projections

Page 62 of 183


Single-Family Residential Attached Single-family residential “attached” homes are housing units that share at least one common wall, and may include twin-home, townhomes and condominiums. If housing units are for sale, the residential attached units are platted and recorded separately and typically the exterior and grounds are managed by a property management company.

Between 1996 and 2016, 798 single-family residential attached homes were built in the Town of Kernersville. On average, approximately 38 attached homes were built each year. Kernersville’s “single-family residential attached” permits peaked at 103 in 2002 and 2005. Most of the approved single-family attached development were built out prior to the recession. The only active development is the final phase of McConnell townhomes (see photo above). The mixed use developments of Welden, Calebs Creek and Smith Crossing all will be building single family residential attached housing units. Due to the inconsistency of active single family attached development, it is difficult to use “trend extrapolation,” taking past trends and carrying them into the future, to project new permitting. With Welden, Calebs Creek, and Smith Crossing developments all starting to move towards single family attached development, Kernersville will begin to see a steady increase in permitting starting in 2018. A 50% increase in permits each year is projected until development reaches 113 housing units each year, which is similar to the pre-recession. Once the Welden, Calebs Creek, and Smith Crossing developments all begin to build their single-family attached housing units, staff will have a better understanding of trends impacting projections and those needing potential revisions. The current demographic and household composition trends of smaller households may cause a much higher demand for attached homes then currently projected.

Housing Units Permits 1996 - 2016 2017 - 2025 Projections

Page 63 of 183


Rental Communities Rental communities are typically apartment complexes. However, in 2016 the Town began work with a development consisting of single family detached homes, townhomes, and apartments. Rental communities can also consist of retirement facilities for elderly residents.

Between 1996 and 2016, 1,871 rental community housing units were built in the Town of Kernersville, with an average of 89 apartment units built each year. The typical market rate rental community is approximately 200 to 300 housing units, with elderly apartments typically averaging between 50 to 100 housing units.

Homeownership peaked in June of 2004 at 69.2%. As reported by the U.S. Census, since the Great Recession of

2007 homeownership rates have declined to 63.7%. The market demand for rental community housing will

remain high, because homeownership rates continue to decline. The decline of homeownership is due to such

demographic dynamics as millennials delaying homeownership, empty nesters seeking to downsize, and the

aging baby boomer population moving into retirement communities. Those trends continue to create demand

for rental communities.

The downtown area, Old Winston Road area, Calebs Creek, Smith Crossing, and Welden are all areas designated

for future rental community growth. Approvals are anticipated for a 170-unit development off of Old Winston

Road, 305 units in Welden, and the completion of the Smith Crossing rental community’s final phase of 148

units. Those units will come in for permitting in 2017 and 2018. The Community Development Department

projects similar trends as the pre-recession period with 267 units being built once every three years.

2017 to 2025 Commercial, Industrial & Office and Institutional Projections

Commercial

“Commercial” data in this report is for new square footage of retail and commercial

type businesses such as restaurants, drug stores, gas stations, retail stores and

hotels.

Historically, the construction of commercial retail space in the United States has seen rapid growth, however

nearly all retail analysts now forecast the growth rate of retail stores to be much slower than in previous years.

The growth of online shopping will be a major contributor in the slow growth rate of new commercial space.

However, brick and mortar stores will not go away. Residential growth will continue to be the major factor for

creating additional demand for retail stores. Many of the national retail stores that are attracted to

Kernersville will be smaller than their current prototype. However, some commercial businesses such as gas

stations like Sheetz are building larger stores to allow them to offer more sales items. “Category stores” like

the electronics “category store” Best Buy, and major retail stores like Walmart, are moving towards smaller

format stores. Also, small “showroom” stores such as Apple Stores are being constructed to meet the

consumer demand to review and touch the product and then go home and purchase on-line. The “big box”

stores are also creating “showrooms” within their stores to promote e-commerce sales. Existing national retail

stores will also be used as a place to pick-up and return items purchased on-line. All of these trends will

continue to require convenient retail locations for the consumers.

The successful implementation of the Kernersville Land Use Plan allowed commercial growth to be strategically

concentrated within commercial pockets, whereas many other communities allowed unplanned disbursement

of commercial developments, thus causing decline of many of their commercial areas. The competitive nature

of the retail industry, along with consumers wanting a pleasant shopping experience, is promoting the trend

towards well-planned shopping and town centers. Friendly Center in Greensboro is a prime example of

meeting the consumer’s shopping experience expectations and offering retailers a competitive atmosphere.

Well-planned neighborhood shopping centers are fundamental in meeting the future commercial demands

caused by residential growth. The Kernersville Land Use Plan and overlay districts are both development tools

promoting commercial development that will substantially meet future commercial development demands.

From 1996 through 2016, Kernersville averaged 124,859 square feet of new commercial space per year. That

large amount of commercial space constructed per year was based on several factors. In the mid-1990s,

there was sufficient demand to attract “big box” retail. The Town strategically placed Walmart on South Main

Street to allow it to anchor the revitalization of existing retail centers and attract additional retail such as Lowes

Home Improvment and Target. South Main Street transitioned from a community retail center to a regional

retail center serving eastern Forsyth County and western Guilford County. Additional retail growth has taken

place along North Main Street and scattered around town. The downtown existing retail space has maintained

Page 66 of 183


close to a 0% vacancy rate, which has contributed to renovations of numerous buildings.

The 2017 to 2025 projections are estimating average growth of 90,265 square feet per year of new commercial

growth. That projection follows the retail construction trend between 2001 through 2009 which excludes the

“big box” anchored shopping centers construction. The projected growth build-out uses the historical

commercial construction trend of “peaks and valleys” due to the fact that Kernersville has a small commercial

market with periods of construction followed by periods of absorption of that space. The new commercial

construction is a direct reflection of residential growth refueling the demand for additional commercial space.

New commercial growth is taking place in the NC-66 Metro Activity Center; the intersection of South Main Street

and Old Winston Road; the intersection of NC-66 and the Kernersville Medical Parkway area; and Smith Crossing.

A scattering of infill commercial projects will continue to take place within other commercial areas.

The current Land Use Plan and traffic studies have identified the “NC-66 Metro Activity Center” as the next large

scale commercial retail area. The projected residential growth south of I-40 further supports retail growth on

the south side of I-40 nearest to that residential growth. The new commercial retail space dynamics of smaller

scale retail space may not warrant the construction of an additional “big box” shopping center, but will create

a demand for walkable “town center” type commercial developments that can be accommodated in downtown,

Welden and Smith Crossing. The build-out of those “town centers” will be based on the rate of residential

construction and the evolving retail industry. Community Development staff will continue to follow the

residential construction trends and the commercial industry to adjust the projections with any changing trends

that occur in the future.

Business Park Uses - Industrial & Office

“Industrial & Office” data is collected for new square footage of industrial and office type structures used for logistics operations, manufacturing, medical services, construction companies, service businesses, and other industrial and office uses.

Historically, Kernersville has had a diverse industrial and office base. As illustrated in the photo below, Kernersville’s central location in a metropolitan region, along with two interstates bisecting the community, and the close proximity to the Piedmont Triad Airport area has stimulated the diverse industrial and office base. FedEx Ground’s selection of Kernersville for a southeastern regional hub is an example of logistics companies being attracted to the interstate system. The expanded medical services that include Novant’s Kernersville Medical Center, VA Health Center, along with medical office construction by Novant, Moses Cone, and High Point Regional, are all examples of businesses selecting Kernersville due to its central location within the metropolitan region.

Pope Companies, based out of Kernersville, has been a major contributor of the construction of new industrial space for lease. Their lease space is located off of the NC 66 corridor and is served by the interstate system. They also assembled large tracts of vacant land for industrial and office development. Along with Pope Companies, Kernersville has seen major recent investments by TDO Land Holding, the developers of Triad Business Park. The Town of Kernersville strategically provided sewer infrastructure to support industrial growth. Kernersville Medical Boulevard and Triad Business Park are both within areas the Town strategically expanded sewer in order to promote economic development.

In addition to a robust interstate system, available sewer, and assemblage of large tracts of land, a community

needs to have growth management tools including a land use plan, zoning, and a thoroughfare plan supporting

the creation and sustainability of industrial and office developments. A major element in a sustainable

industrial and office development is diversity. Reliance on one or two major businesses creates the situation

similar to what has been seen in the tobacco, furniture and textile communities. Kernersville’s Land Use Plan

and Zoning Ordinance provides for a wide range of industrial and office options. The Land Use Plan also

provides the framework for the Thoroughfare Plan to ensure that the capacity of our roads are distributed to a

diversity of uses.

From 1996 through 2016, Kernersville averaged 156,548 square feet of new industrial and office space per year.

That projection followed the industrial and office construction trend between 1996 through 2004 which

excludes the large construction projects of the VA and Deere Hitachi. The Town has the potential to attract

similar large scale projects, and if that takes place staff will revise the projections. The 2017 to 2025 projections

average 190,935 square feet.

Projected growth build-out uses the historical commercial construction trend of “peaks and valleys”, which is

due to the fact that Kernersville is a small commercial market with periods of large commercial projects that

absorb consumer demands, followed by periods of residential growth refueling the demand.

Institutional

“Institutional” data in this report is in reference to new square footage for schools, churches, governmental buildings, medical centers, and nursing homes.

From 1996 to 2016, Kernersville experienced over 1.3 million square feet of new institutional uses with an

average of 63,138 square feet per year. The 220,000 square foot medical center was a major contributor to that

growth. Also constructed during that period were Kernersville Middle and Calebs Creek Elementary schools.

East Forsyth Middle school was annexed into the Town after construction. Several large church expansions also

contributed to the institutional use inventory during this period.

From 2017 to 2025, the Town is expected to experience less growth in institutional uses as compared to the

period from 1996 to 2016. No hospital, nursing home, school or church construction is currently planned.

Institutional uses are typically built to accommodate current and future users, which lengthens the period

between new institutional structure demand. For the period from 2017 to 2025, it is projected that half of the

average annual institutional square footage of 31,569 square feet constructed between 1996 and 2016 will be

constructed. The projected institutional facility demand would accommodate potential uses such as the new

fire station, library and potential recreational center and religious institutional structures.

United States Department of Transportation Traffic Trends

The U.S. Department of Transportation monitors traffic volume trends. The national trends show a traffic

volume decline during the recession and since rebounding. The data makes it clear that traffic volumes are

growing nationwide. A 2015 study from INRIX and Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) shows that traffic

congestion has returned to pre-recession levels. This is due to the fact the U.S. economy has regained nearly

all of the 9 million jobs lost during the recession. Traffic counts for 2015 have been integrated into the attached

graphs. NCDOT traffic data is released every two (2) years. 2016 data will not be released until the end of 2017

or beginning of 2018.

TOWN OF KERNERSVILLE

Memo

To: Board of Aldermen

From: Jeff Hatling, AICP

Community Development Director

Date: June 6, 2017

Re: Thoroughfare and Street Plan 2016 Annual Report

Please find attached the Thoroughfare and Street

Plan 2016 Annual Report. The primary finding in

the Annual Report is the Town is at a crossroads in

addressing transportation issues and opportunities.

With the last of the bond money committed, the

Town is currently in the position of either eliminating

the transportation program, or rebuilding a new

program.

Current transportation staff resources and our on-call

engineering consultant services allows for

engineering construction plan reviews; inspection of

public streets being completed by developers; and a

limited amount of long range transportation planning.

The former transportation staff resources that pursued

funding for transportation projects, managed

construction projects, and administered the federal

and state required documentation were eliminated

when the project work load decreased during the

recession, and the transportation bond projects were

completed. The attached “Thoroughfare and Street

Plan Annual Report” states:

Along with the financial resources, made

available through the bond, the Town had in

place the staff resources needed to

efficiently operate a transportation

program. The staff resources, during the

peak of construction, included an

Engineering Division consisting of an

engineer, surveyor and project coordinator;

Transportation Division consisting of

engineer, transportation planner,

construction manager and three

construction inspectors; contracts with

several engineering firms; and several

contracted administrative positions. All of

those transportation staff resources are now

gone except for two construction inspectors

that are inspecting the new residential

developments under construction. The other

positions have been eliminated, except for

two positions that have been restructured to

provide support in the review of

development projects and which assist in

implementing other Town projects.

The current planning process of updating the Town’s

1999 Traffic and Transportation Study will assist the

Town in understanding current and future

transportation issues and opportunities and help guide

the Town’s transportation program. Updating the

Study is also a major work program element to

implement Board of Aldermen adopted policy within

the current Thoroughfare and Street Plan requiring

staff to facilitate:

“Developing a community transportation

vision statement for the Thoroughfare and

Street Plan. Subsequently develop

associated guidelines that prioritize aspects

of a comprehensive transportation system

for the community”.

Please do not hesitate to contact staff if you have any

questions or concerns.

Thoroughfare and Street Plan Annual Report 2016

Thoroughfare and Street Plan

Annual Report

During the preparation and adoption of the 2011 Thoroughfare and Street Plan amendment, it

was recognized that implementation of the Thoroughfare and Street Plan recommendations and

policies would be determined by “… available resources to implement the recommendations …”.

The Town of Kernersville had a successful transportation program through the financial

resources made available by the 1998 Transportation Bond. The $7,000,000 bond funds, along

with other funds were successfully used to initiate over $22,000,000 of road improvement related

expenses. Of that expenditure, the Town obtained matching revenue of over $6,500,000 from

other funding sources. The Town of Kernersville will spend its last Transportation Capital

Reserve Fund on the South Main Street/Old Winston Road Intersection improvement project.

Along with the financial resources made available through the bond, the Town had the staff

resources in place to efficiently operate a transportation program. The staff resources, during the

peak of construction, included an Engineering Division consisting of an engineer, surveyor and

project coordinator; Transportation Division consisting of engineer, transportation planner,

construction manager and three construction inspectors; contracts with several engineering firms;

and several contracted administrative positions. All of those transportation staff resources are

now gone except for two construction inspectors that are inspecting the new residential

developments under construction. The other positions have been eliminated, except for two

positions that have been restructured to provide support in the review of development projects

and which assist in implementing other Town projects.

The Town of Kernersville is now in the position to consider reactivating

a transportation program. As the Kernersville area continues to grow,

traffic will increase and sections of the street network will become

congested. The Town of Kernersville requested and was awarded

$80,000 from the Winston-Salem Urban Area Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO) to cover 80% of the cost of an engineering firm to

assist in updating the Town’s 1999 Traffic and Transportation Study.

The 1999 Study guided the Town’s transportation capital improvement expenditures associated

with the 1998 Transportation Bond. A traffic and transportation study identifies existing and

future issues and opportunities through a technical review of traffic capacities of streets; traffic

projections; traffic accidents; and other traffic related analysis. The study undertakes multimodal

transportation elements including pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes. Public participation

will be one of the primary components of the study to assist in confirmation of issues and

opportunities.

Current Identified Transportation Project

The Town’s current list of identified transportation projects, last updated in 2015, is listed below.

Currently the Town is not pursuing construction of any of those projects.

However, several of those projects have seen changes during 2016. NCDOT draft State

Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) has both the Big Mill Farm Road/Business-40 and

Hopkins Road Widening, and Linville Spring Road Extension to North Main Street fully funded,

thus eliminating the need for the Town to undertake the Linville Spring Road Extension to North

Main Street project. The Big Mill Farm Road/Business-40 and Hopkins Road Widening will also

eliminate the need for the Town to undertake the Hopkins Turn Lanes Regent/Timberwood

project, and will further decrease the traffic at the Hopkins Road and Old Winston Road

intersection. This will most likely eliminate the need for the Hopkins & Old Winston

Intersection project. The Lambeth Farm Road Extension to Hopkins Road project was modified

by the Board of Aldermen to have Lambeth Farm Road extend to Old Winston Road.

Current Status of Implementing the Recommendation of the Thoroughfare

and Street Plan

Thoroughfare and Street Plan

1. Develop a work program based on available

resources to implement the

recommendations of this study.

Ongoing

2. The recommendations of the Thoroughfare

and Street Plan Study shall be adopted as

amendments to the Thoroughfare and Street

Plan.

Completed

3. The Thoroughfare and Street Plan shall be

amended to reference the findings of the

Thoroughfare and Street Plan Study.

Completed

4. Amend the Thoroughfare and Street Plan

into the current comprehensive

transportation plan (CTP) format required

for all metropolitan planning organization’s

thoroughfare plans, by incorporating the

Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan and work

towards creating a transit section.

Current updating of the 1999

Traffic and Transportation Study

will provide the framework to

pursue a comprehensive

transportation plan (CTP). The

Winston-Salem Urban Area

Metropolitan Planning

Organization has 80% funding

available for assisting communities

to prepare a CTP.

5. Amend the Thoroughfare and Street Plan

definitions for major and minor

thoroughfares to read:

Minor Thoroughfare: A street

which serves as a primary traffic

artery of an urban area, serving the

major centers of activity and

carrying traffic between such

centers at moderate speeds. The

design shall not only include

addressing the level of service and

capacity of a road, but consider

design in the context of the

surrounding land uses and address

the multi-modal transportation

needs of all potential users. Access

to abutting property may be

provided, however, the primary

function is to carry traffic versus

providing property access. The

thoroughfare classifications also

carry traffic between Major

Thoroughfares. Access is primarily

provided by at-grade intersections

which may be signal controlled.

Major Thoroughfare: A

thoroughfare that carries large

volumes of traffic. The design

shall not only include addressing

the level of service and capacity of

a road, but consider design in the

context of the surrounding land

uses and address the multimodal

transportation needs of all potential

users. Access onto the facility is

controlled. Access should only be

at intersections with other streets.

Such intersections should be spaced

at intervals which promote traffic

progression with the absolute

minimal delays incurred.

Completed

6. As NCDOT updates their road

classifications and cross-sections to conform

to the NCDOT Complete Streets Policy (see

Appendix 5 - NCDOT Preliminary Complete

Streets Planning and Design Guideline

Framework), the Town shall consider

amending its Thoroughfare and Street Plan

to incorporate language and road design that

is compatible with the NCDOT Complete

Streets Policy’s road classifications, cross-

sections, and context sensitive road design

principles.

No changes to the NCDOT

Complete Streets Policy.

Community Input

1. Develop a community transportation vision

statement for the Thoroughfare and Street

Plan. Subsequently develop associated

guidelines that prioritize aspects of a

comprehensive transportation system for the

community.



Adopted Policies

includes developing a community

transportation vision.

2. Promote public participation during the

“trigger points” for community input on

major transportation projects for each of the

major steps in the transportation planning

process.

Staff worked with NCDOT on

encouraging public participation

with the design of the Big Mill

Farm Road Interchange and

Hopkins Road widening.

3. Assign staff to participate with NCDOT TIP

staff on the planning, design, and

construction of TIP projects to allow the

Board of Aldermen to be up-to-date and

consider enhancements to mitigate adverse

impacts to the community and

neighborhoods.

Staff continues to participate with

NCDOT and provide updates to the

Board of Aldermen.

4. The public shall be encouraged to participate

in the design of the new roads and road

widening to assure “context sensitive”

design elements are incorporated into the

final design.





Hopkins Road widening. Over 300

citizens participated in an open

house design charrette.

Population, Employment and Traffic Trends and

Projections

1. Town shall maintain past, current, and

projected population and employment data

generated at the federal, state, regional,

county, and local level.

Ongoing

2. Town shall maintain past, current, and

projected traffic counts generated at the

state, regional, and local level on GIS. If

staffing and resources are available, develop

a specific local traffic count program to

augment the state and regional.

Ongoing

3. All population, employment and traffic

trends, and projections shall be made

available to the public through the Town’s

website or in written form if requested.

Ongoing

4. A citizen group shall be formed by the

Board of Aldermen to undertake an annual

review of the Town’s growth data and

provide comments to the Planning Board

and Board of Aldermen on data generated at

the Town, county, regional, state, and

federal levels. The citizen group shall be

made up of residential, commercial,

industrial, and institutional property owners.

Completed and ongoing.

Traffic Studies

1. The Town shall work with NCDOT and the

Metropolitan Planning Organizations on

revising the regional traffic modeling for the

Big Mill Farm Road Interchange by using

the Beltway completed, newest Census,

traffic counts, and other demographic data

available to update the traffic model.

Completed and ongoing.

2. The Town’s transportation work program

shall include a long range goal of building a

traffic model that synchronizes the current

and future traffic studies undertaken by

private and public entities. First steps shall

consist of maintaining existing traffic

simulation models in one centrally

organized database with a long term goal of

connecting the missing gaps. Developer’s

traffic impact analysis shall be required to

use and follow the data standards of the

model.



includes consolidating and

summarizing completed traffic

studies.

3. Town staff shall continue to participate with

NCDOT and the metropolitan planning

organizations on traffic modeling projects.

Ongoing.

4. During the review of major development

proposals, the traffic generation impacts

shall be considered within a traffic impact

analysis. “Major developments” shall be

defined in a Town adopted traffic impact

analysis policy.

Page 87 of 183

6


Calebs Creek and Welden projects

were required to undertake traffic

studies to allow them to address

adverse traffic and safety impacts.

Road Design Within the Road Network

1. Design of future roads and improvements

shall incorporate the NCDOT’s Complete

Street Policy strategies that incorporate

“transportation, quality of life, and

economic development are all undeniably

connected through well-planned, well-

designed, and context sensitive

transportation solutions”. Town staff shall

work to develop a process that would bring

together the MPO, NCDOT, and the public

to determine what appropriate context

sensitive solutions would be appropriate on

the different classification of roads in

different land use areas within the Town.

See Appendix 5 – “NCDOT Preliminary

Complete Streets Planning & Design

Guidelines Framework” for further

information on “complete streets”.

The Town advocated that the Big

Mill Farm Road Interchange and

Hopkins Road widening follow the

NCDOT Complete Street design

standards for a 2-lane divided

avenue with pedestrian and bicycle

facilities.

The Town placed rezoning

conditions on the Calebs Creek,

Welden, Smith Crossing and

Marketview developments to

incorporate “complete street”

design elements.

2. A comprehensive list of context sensitive

road design elements shall be developed to

create a “tool box” of available design

elements that can be applied to different

road cross-sections.

Currently no funds or staff

resources assigned to project.

3. Design of future roads and improvements

shall not only include addressing the level of

service and capacity of a road, but also

consider design in the context of the

surrounding existing and planned land uses.







facilities.

4. In order to reduce the need to widen roads

and create large intersections, connectivity

of the road network shall continue to be

pursued along with traffic calming

principles and devices to control the speed

of through traffic.

Ongoing

5. Town design standards in the Design and

Construction Specifications manual shall be

reviewed every 5 years to ensure community

vision and goals are reflected.

Town updated the “Design and

Construction Specifications”

manual in 2016.

6. Town staff shall work towards a long term

goal of having cross-sections on all

thoroughfare plan elements to provide

further definition to concerned stakeholders.

Future steps shall include coordination and

meetings with NCDOT, MPO staff, as well

as public and businesses.

Currently no staff resources

assigned to project.

7. It is recommended that the NCDOT

Complete Street “2-lane Avenue” street type

be the road design for thoroughfares through

residential neighborhoods. See Appendix 5

– “NCDOT Preliminary Complete Streets

Planning & Design Guidelines Framework”

for further information on “complete

streets”.

Calebs Creek rezoning includes a

condition that Teague Lane and

Ogden School Road shall be a “2-

lane Avenue”.

Current conceptual design of Big

Mill Farm Road and Hopkins Road

widening is a “2-lane Avenue”.

South Main Street, Big Mill Farm Road, Old

Winston Road, and Hopkins Road

1. Complete the current traffic study for South

Main Street/Old Winston Road

improvements, which is being conducted for

the Town by Ramey Kemp and Associates,

2. After the completion of the South Main

Street/Old Winston Road Traffic Study,

pursue funding for the construction of the

recommended road and intersection

improvements. These improvements should

be considered as the 1# road improvement

for next fiscal year’s Transportation Capital

Improvement Program.

NCDOT is currently constructing

the project with funding support

from the Winston Salem Urban

Area Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO) and the Town

of Kernersville.

3. To determine if the South Main Street/Old

Winston Road intersection improvements

are adequate to address the traffic

congestion on South Main Street; the Big

Mill Farm Road Interchange shall not be

built until after the South Main Street/Old

Winston Road intersection improvements

are completed.

Current construction schedule is to

have the South Main Street/Old

Winston Road improvement

completed in 2018, and the Big

Mill Farm Road Interchange at the

to start construction in 2022 at the

earliest.

4. The Town staff shall disseminate to the

community that the Big Mill Farm Road

Interchange is not a NCDOT TIP funded

project and shall notify the community when

NCDOT is considering funding the

interchange.

NCDOT has awarded the funding

to begin the design and they have

begun the design work. The Town

continues promoting public

participation in the design.

5. Big Mill Farm Road and Hopkins Road shall

be designated as a “Minor Thoroughfare” on

the Thoroughfare and Street Plan.

Completed

6. Timberview Drive connection between

Wexford Subdivision and Barrington Park

Subdivision shall not be connected.

No plans on connection.

7. Work with the Winston-Salem Urban Area

Metropolitan Planning Organization, and

NCDOT to incorporate the recently adopted

NCDOT Complete Street Policy to design

the proposed Big Mill Farm Road and

Hopkins Road north of Big Mill Farm Road

in the context of the neighborhood. It is

recommended that the NCDOT Complete

Street “2-lane Avenue” street type be the

road design for Big Mill Farm Road and

Hopkins Road. See Appendix 5 –

“NCDOT Preliminary Complete Streets

Planning & Design Guidelines Framework”

for further information on “complete

streets”.







facilities. Current conceptual

design is a 2-lane divided.

8. After the Town completes its

comprehensive list of “context sensitive”

road design elements and determines design

elements that can be applied to the

NCDOT’s Hopkins Road and Big Mill Farm

road project, encourage public participation

to recommend “context sensitive” design

elements for the road project.





Hopkins Road widening. Over 300

citizens participated in an open

house design charrette.

9. Continue to maintain the population and

employment and traffic projections for the

Western Road Network and planning

schedule of the B-40/Big Mill Farm Road

Interchange to keep the residents and

businesses up-to-date on the status of the

project.

Ongoing

10. Continue to obtain and protect the right-of-

way needed for the ultimate improvements

even as smaller incremental improvements

are phased in. This is to assist in

minimizing the impact on future property

owners and lower the cost of future road

widening.

Example of a “Complete Street Design”

The following adopted recommendations are

being pursued, with some of the road

improvements completed or underway.

Interstates

o Issue: The interstates of I-40 and B-40

are the primary thoroughfares carrying

local and through traffic. When the

Interstates reach capacity, the local

traffic will begin to divert to the local

road network and increasing local

traffic congestion. The NCDOT

Transportation Improvement Program

(TIP) has a project to add an additional

lane to I-40.

o Recommendations: The Town shall begin to work

with the Winston-Salem Urban


Organization and NCDOT to

study the feasibility of adding

an additional lane on B-40.

o Issue: The Town’s primary access to

the proposed Beltway will be via B-

40/South Main Interchange. The

additional traffic attracted to the

Beltway via the B-40/South Main

Interchange will only compound the

traffic congestion on South Main Street.

The Board of Aldermen in a 2005

Resolution to NCDOT, requested

NCDOT to build the B-40/Big Mill

Farm Road Interchange at the same

time of the beltway to address the traffic

issues that the Beltway will cause in

Kernersville because there will be no

direct access to the Beltway with the

elimination of the possible West

Mountain Street Interchange.

o Recommendation: The Town shall continue to

work with the Winston-Salem

Urban Area Metropolitan

Planning Organization, and

NCDOT to address this

Beltway access issue.

Western Road Network

o Issue: The NCDOT approved

feasibility study for the proposed 4-lane

road improvement for Big Mill Farm

Road and Hopkins Road north of Big

Mill Farm Road has the potential to

adversely impact the adjacent

residential neighborhoods.

o Recommendations:

The Town shall begin to work with

the Winston Salem Urban Area


Organization, and NCDOT to

incorporate the recently adopted

NCDOT Complete Street Policy to

design the roadway in the context

of the neighborhood. It is

recommended that the NCDOT

Complete Street “2-lane Avenue”

street type be the road design for

thoroughfares through residential

neighborhoods. See Appendix 5 –

“NCDOT Preliminary Complete

Streets Planning & Design



o Issue: Planned future road and road

widening projects have the potential of

negative and/or positive impacts on the

surrounding area in such residential and

commercial areas of Hopkins Road

(Kernersville Boulevard), Big Mill

Farm Road (Kernersville Boulevard),

South Main Street, and West Mountain

Street. Many times, the current

property owners along the corridors are

concerned about the unknowns of when

a road project will take place and future

phases of the project.

o Recommendations:

As property is developed along the

corridors that will experience road

widening or new projects, the

Town shall pursue the required

right-of-ways and easements for the

ultimate potential road width to

assist in minimizing the future

impacts of the road improvements.

The Town shall develop the data

that can be provided to adjacent

property owners with projections of

when road improvement projects

will be required, and what type of

road improvement would

potentially take place if funding

was available.

The Town shall develop

enhancement standards that can be

used to assist in minimizing the

future adverse impacts of the road

improvements, such as

landscaping, lighting fixtures,

sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. that offer

the opportunity to enhance the area.

o Issue: Even with the Big Mill Farm Road

Extension and Interchange improvements,

South Main Street is projected to have a

Level of Service “E” or worse.

o Recommendations: The Town shall continue to work

with the Winston-Salem Urban


Organization and NCDOT to place

the B-40/Big Mill Farm Road

Interchange on the NCDOT

Transportation Improvement

Program, with the recommendation

that context sensitive road design

be used through the Big Mill Farm

Road and Hopkins Road residential

neighborhoods. It is recommended

that the NCDOT Complete Street

“2-lane Avenue” street type be the

road design for Big Mill Farm

Road and Hopkins Road. See

Appendix 5 – “NCDOT

Preliminary Complete Streets

Planning & Design Guidelines

Framework” for further


The Town shall continue to work

with the Winston Salem Urban



pursue road improvement to South

Main Street that will enhance its

capacity as recommended in the

Ramey Kemp South Main Street

Area Traffic Study, while

incorporating citizen and business

input.

o Issue: The Airport Connector is currently a

proposed road project that is a part of the

Regional Traffic Model. When the Airport

Connector is a part of the regional model,

the traffic model tends to under estimate

future traffic conditions in Kernersville,

which would lessen the justification of MPO

and NCDOT funding for road improvements

in Kernersville. The Airport Connector is

not likely to be constructed, or if it is

constructed, it will be in a location further

north toward Walkertown.

o Recommendation:

The Town shall work closely with

the Metropolitan Planning

Organizations (MPO) and NCDOT

in taking the Airport Connector off

the LRTP and preventing the

current proposed Airport Connector

to be a part of the regional traffic

model until such time as the

Beltway is in the foreseeable future

and the need for a Beltway

connector is needed.

Each time the Regional Traffic

Model is run to evaluate traffic

conditions in the Kernersville area,

the model should include runs with

and without the Airport Connector.

The traffic modeling with and

without the Airport Connector

would allow for a better

understanding of potential future

traffic conditions.

Northern Road Network

o Issue: Funding is a major challenge on

facilitating the construction of the

Kernersville Boulevard. Without the

improvements, the northern road

network will far exceed its capacity to

carry the traffic demands, and the

Downtown traffic congestion will

continue to escalate.

o Recommendations:

The Town shall begin to work

with the Winston Salem Urban


Organization, and NCDOT to

obtain construction funding for

the Macy Grove Interchange

and the Macy Grove Road

extension to North Main

Street.

The Town shall determine if

the funding within the Capital

Improvement Program is

available in the future for

construction of the Macy

Grove extension from North

Page 92 of 183

11


Main Street to Piney Grove

Road.

Since the ultimate traffic flow

benefits of the Kernersville

Boulevard are not reached

until the connection is made to

Linville Springs Road, the

Town shall begin to investigate

the funding of the Linville

Springs Extension through

NCDOT funds as well.

o Issue: The proposed 4-lane road

improvement for the Macy Grove extensions

and Linville Springs Road widening has the

potential to adversely impact the adjacent

residential neighborhoods.

o Recommendation:

The Town shall begin to work with

the Winston-Salem Urban Area



incorporate the recently adopted

NCDOT Complete Street Policy to

design the roadway in the context

of the neighborhood, which shall

consider all available NCDOT

cross sections. It is recommended

that the NCDOT Complete Street

“2-lane Avenue” street type be the

road design for thoroughfares

through residential neighborhoods.

See Appendix 5 – “NCDOT

Preliminary Complete Streets

Planning & Design Guidelines






surrounding area in such residential and

commercial areas of Linville Springs Road

and Extensions (Kernersville Boulevard),

Smith Edwards Road (Kernersville

Boulevard), and Piney Grove Road. Many

times, the current property owners along the

corridors are concerned about the unknowns

of when a road project will take place and

future phases of the project.

o Recommendations:

As property is developed along the


widening or new projects, the

Town shall pursue the required

right-of-ways and easement for the

ultimate potential road width to

assist in minimizing the future

impacts of the road improvements.

The Town shall develop the data

that can be provided to adjacent

property owners with projections of

when road improvement projects

will be required and what type of

road improvement would

potentially take place if funding

was available.









Central Road Network (Downtown)

o Issue: In the downtown area, road

improvement options are limited due to

existing businesses and homes in close

proximity to the street. Even with the

completion of the proposed Kernersville

Boulevard, the level of service of the

downtown section of North Main Street,

residential sections of South Main

Street and South Cherry Street, and East

Bodenhamer Street are projected to be

at a Level of Service “E” or worse in

2035. South and North Cherry Street

has the most potential for road

improvements that will enhance traffic

flow, while being designed in the

context of the downtown and residential

area it travels through.

o Recommendation:

Undertake a study to begin the

process of expanding the

downtown streetscape

improvements, similar to

North Main, to North Cherry,

South Cherry, South Main,

East Mountain and West

Mountain and study alternative

road improvements which

would include one-way pairs;

2-lane divided “complete street

design” (see to the left for

example in downtown New

Bern); and other types of

alternatives.

Eastern Road Network

o Issue: With the anticipated, relatively

rapid growth in the area south of B-40

and east of NC66, the Town will need

to pursue road improvements and

additions to the existing road network.

Funding will remain a major challenge

on facilitating the improvements to NC

66 South intersections and the I-40

interchange. Without improvements,

NC 66 South, I-40, and B-40

interchanges will far exceed the

capacity to carry future traffic demands.

o Recommendations:

The Town shall begin to work with the

Winston-Salem Urban Area

Metropolitan Planning Organization

for planning funds to determine what

type of improvements could take place

and their cost.

The Town shall begin work with the

High Point MPO to coordinate land

use and necessary transportation

improvements between NC 66 and

Bunker Hill Road around I-40,

including a potential I-40 interchange

at Macy Grove Road.

o Issue: With the anticipated, relatively rapid

growth in the area surrounding the airport

(Aerotropolis) the Town will need to pursue

road improvements and additions to the

existing road network. Funding will remain

a major challenge. With only 1 major east-

west freeway connection east of B-40,

higher priority will need to be given to local

road network.

o Recommendations: The Town shall begin to work with the

Greensboro MPO to coordinate land

use and necessary transportation

improvements between the two

municipalities north of I-40.

Southern Road Network

o Issue: With the anticipated relatively rapid

growth in the area, south of I-40, the Town

will need to pursue road improvements and

additions to the existing road network.

Funding will remain a major challenge to

facilitate those improvements. The Town has

a planned thoroughfare network that is

projected to meet traffic demands. Without

the implementation of that thoroughfare plan

the road network south of I-40 will far exceed

the capacity to carry future traffic demands:

o Recommendations:

The Town shall continue to work

with the Forsyth County

Commission, Winston-Salem Urban


Organization, and developers in

implementing the thoroughfare plan

south of I-40.

With the major roads and

interchanges seemingly adequately

planned for the future, the County

and Town will need to work towards

reserving the rights-of-ways for

these improvements and ensure

connectivity between the

thoroughfares.

MEMORANDUM To: Curtis Swisher, Town Manager


Date: July 31, 2017

Subject: Equipment Financing Recommendation

The purchase of equipment (attached) through loan financing was approved in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Operating Budget. The Finance Department submitted a proposal request to thirteen lenders for a loan financing contract in an amount not to exceed $1,290,035. The following seven lenders responded with quotes:

LENDER INTEREST

RATE PREPAY.

PREMIUM CLOSING


BB&T Governmental Finance 1.91% 1% none none

First National Bank 1.91% 0% ≤ $3,000 1 $129,004

SunTrust 1.93% 2 ≤ 3% $250 none

First Citizens Bank 1.96% 0% none none

PNC Bank 1.97% 3 ≤ 3% $250 none

Capital Bank 2.30% 0% $2,225 none

Wells Fargo 2.39% 0% none none

1 10% of principal amount for the duration of the loan. 2 3% in year 1, 2% in year 2, 1% in year 3. No premium in year 4 and 5. 3 3% of principal balance after year 2.

BB&T Governmental Finance submitted the lowest total cost proposal of $1,352,740 containing the following: 20 quarterly payments with equal principal and an interest rate of 1.910% for the entire term of fifty-nine months. Although First National Bank submitted an identical interest rate, their closing costs were higher and the depository requirements were deemed not to be in the best interest of the Town. Based on BB&T’s submittal of a financing agreement that best meets the needs of the Town and the fact that the Town does not have a prevalence of loan prepayment, I recommend that BB&T Governmental Finance be awarded an equipment installment financing contract in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-20. Action Requested: Board of Aldermen award of an equipment financing contract with BB&T and approval of the attached Financing Resolution.

WHEREAS, findings of fact by the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Kernersville must be found and then presented to enable the North Carolina Local Government Commission to make its findings of fact set forth in North Carolina General Statute 159, Article 8, Section 151 prior to approval of the proposed contract; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Aldermen of Kernersville, North Carolina, meeting in regular session on the 27th day of June, 2017, makes the following findings of fact:

1. The proposed contract is necessary or expedient because the Town has been, and is, experiencing economic growth; and, as such, the need for future Town facilities is anticipated and expected so as to better serve the citizens of the Town. The use of an installment financing contract will afford the Town the opportunity of taking advantage of the current debt market without materially affecting the finances of the Town.

2. The proposed contract is preferable to utilization of a bond issue, for the same purpose

because of several factors. First, private placement financing can be secured within a quicker timeframe compared to the issuance of bonds. And second, the private placement financing term will be the same or relatively shorter than a typical bond financing period.

3. The cost of financing under the proposed installment purchase contract is comparable or

less than the cost of issuing general obligation bonds.

4. The sums to fall due under the installment contract are reasonable and not excessive for the proposed purpose; and, debt repayment can occur with minimal ad valorem tax increases or increases in Town service fees.

5. The Town of Kernersville’s debt management procedures and policies are sound and the

Town’s financial records, procedures, and policies are reviewed annually by an independent audit firm and have for years been determined to be in compliance with applicable State and Local regulations as well as industry practices.

6. The Town of Kernersville is not in default in any of its debt service obligations.

Project is authorized by law and is a purpose for which public funds may be expended pursuant to the Constitution and laws of North Carolina.

Page 170 of 183

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Manager and Finance Director are hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Town of Kernersville in filing an application with the North Carolina Local Government Commission for approval of the Project and the proposed installment financing contract, and to act on other necessary actions not inconsistent with this Resolution.

None presented.

6 TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Mr. Swisher said that there are three statues proposed for the Fourth of July Park and one for the

new Founders Park. He said the total cost of the four statues will be around $111,000 not

including the base for the one at Founders Park. He said the Town has already received $50,000

in donations for the statues and another $20,000 has already been donated directly to the

company constructing the statues.

Alderman Neal made a Motion to approve the expenditure of up to $120,000 for the purchase of

the statues and the base.



Mr. Swisher stated that NCDOT will be working for about one year from now to finish the road

improvements on South Main Street. He said that the stoplights are currently on a timer but will

eventually use vehicle sensors. He said that there will eventually be 2 left-turn lanes from South

Main Street to Old Winston Road and 2 left-turn lanes from Old Winston Road to South Main

Street. He stated that road widening will make this possible. He said there will be a concrete

median installed on South Main Street. U-turns will be allowed on South Main Street at the

intersection with Old Winston Road. He gave an update to the roundabout on Old Winston Road

and the paving at the end of Southern Street. He said that traffic on South Main Street will get

worse before it gets better due to the continued construction.

Mr. Swisher stated that House Bill 310 has been updated. He said it appears that the bill will be

approved. He reminded the Board of the concerns regarding the spacing of the small cell towers.

He said that the revised bill will allow the Town to prohibit them if the spacing is unreasonable.

He advised that there is no definition to “reasonable spacing” and that this only applies to new

utility poles, not existing ones. He also expressed a concern that the fees for outside consultants

that the Town would be allowed to charge for the review of the placement of the small cell

towers would be insufficient to cover the actual costs to the Town.
