Planning board approves new site for ABC store By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Staff photo by Terry Lane
The Wrightsville Beach Planning Board approved a proposal that would move the ABC Spirits store on Wrightsville Avenue, but its approval comes with recommendations that the town’s board of aldermen consider both the traffic impacts and the preservation of trees that are on the site. Several neighbors of the site urged the town’s planning board
to reject the proposal due to the increased traffic on Wrightsville Avenue, which would also be impacted by other mixed-use development projects planned for the area, including potentially one at the former Galleria mall site. With Zeke Partin abstaining because she’s the vice-chair of the local Alcohol Beverage Control board, the board voted 4-0 to approve both a zoning change and a conditional use permit to facilitate the move. Neighbors of the three-quarters
acre site located at 7000 Wrightsville Ave., next to the Craft Hardware Store, said they were frustrated because even though the development would impact them, they weren’t politically represented on the Wrightsville Beach board. “We feel like we have no say on the land right next to us,” said Mimi Perez. Several said they would like to see a stoplight in front of the store, while planning board n See ABC Page 2

Boat crashes onto WB dock By Terry Lane Staff Writer
North Carolina Wildlife Resource offices are investigating a boat crash in Wrightsville Beach’s Banks Channel that occurred on Monday, June 4 and sent one boat onto a dock. Wrightsville Beach police and state resource officers responded to the area of 600 Waynick Blvd. after the 5 p.m. crash. No citations were issued, but a wildlife resources officer said the case was still under investigation. The officer said that a 22-foot boat and a boat larger than 30 feet collided in Banks Channel. A woman who was driving the 22-foot boat ended
up in the water, with the boat striking a pylon and launching onto the dock. The officer said it was unclear if the woman abandoned the boat to avoid the collision or if she was knocked off the boat during the collision. The owner of the dock said she often sits on the end of the dock in the afternoon and was lucky to not be there when the crash occurred. No one was injured during the crash.

Resident concerns come to life with Airlie Road stormwater overflow By Daja Terry Intern
Airlie Garden officials this week said that the garden ponds are steadily improving after heavy storms over Memorial Day weekend caused water and mud to flow across Airlie Road from the neighboring 11.9 acre mixed use development across the street. Residents of Airlie Road said their concerns about the construction on the North Carolina “Scenic Byway” came to life when the retention pond at the front of the property overflowed and brought traffic to a standstill over the weekend. Airlie Gardens Director Tara Duckworth said that the stormwater runoff did reach the garden’s pond and cloud the water, though engineers for the city of Wilmington told her they would be able to prevent it in the future.
“It’s getting better,” Duckworth said. “When the storm first came through, everything was really silty, making it brown, but it’s improving every day. I don’t think we saw any long-term effects from it.” The stormwater overflow comes after some residents expressed concerns about the issue before the 57-unit development by the Charlotte-based State Street Companies was approved when the Wilmington City Council voted to rezone the property to mixed-use in March 2017. State Street Companies did not return a phone call from Lumina News. “I’m just hoping all of that heavy rain is behind us,” Duckworth said. “Unfortunately, that’s just what happens when you have open ground. It’s a temporary problem.” n See AIRLEE Page 2

Wilmington City Council approves Avenues project for Military Cutoff Road By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Despite concerns from an audience of residents worried about the traffic impacts, the Wilmington City Council approved a 45-acre mixed-use project on Military Cutoff Road that will feature apartments, retail and office space and a cornerstone signature hotel. While several residents expressed concern over a report that “The Avenues,” a proposed project by the Greensboro-based Carroll Companies, would bring 16,000 daily two-way trips to Military Cutoff Road, the developers said told the council that they would fund $2.5 million in traffic upgrades
to facilitate the development. The council approved both a rezoning of the project’s site, located between McCumber Station Road and Arboretum Drive on Military Cutoff Road, and a special use permit to allow an additional 20 feet in building height. The council approved the rezoning by a 5-2 vote, with council members Kevin O’Grady and Paul Lawler voting against it, and approved the special use permit by a 6-1 vote. “It’s a good project, I wish we could have it in Wilmington. We just can’t have it in this location,” said O’Grady, echoing resident’s concerns over increase traffic. . The proposal includes 525 apartments, a
231-room hotel, 140,700 square-feet of office space, 115,000 square feet of retail space, and 16,000 square feet of restaurant space. While the project will likely help economic development and tourism, the “limited access will result in a large amount of traffic added to one of our major road corridors,” the city’s planning staff told the council. However, the proposed road improvements could improve traffic, developers said. The traffic upgrades would include an additional lane on portions of the road, improved crosswalks and an additional stop light. n See AVENUES Page 2

By Nicholas Aziz Intern
T h e Wi l m i n g t o n Tr e e Commission awarded several urban trees with its annual Tree Awards basing the criteria on tree preservation, landscape design, commitment to tree maintenance, and reforestation. The award helps to educate the public on the trees in the area to help protect our forests, a member of the commission told the Wilmington City Council on May 15.
The preservation awards were given to those that preserved the Boundary Oak next to the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary, the four magnolia trees by the Bellamy Mansion Museum, the triple-stem magnolia tree at the residence of Todd and Jodi King. Publix and Halpern Enterprises also won in this category for the Ogden Oak. Landscape design was awarded to Sandy and Andy Wood of Habitats for “their use of native n See TREES Page 2

Allison Tam, a resident on Airlie Road, said that the community was unsure how water would be handled. “We didn’t like the scale of the project,” she said, referring to when the development was proposed. “We just thought, ‘how are they going to guarantee us that they’re not gonna have a problem with flooding?’ They never gave us a concrete plan. Maybe the city knows, but we don’t. We haven’t seen them adding anything draining wise.” Currently, with the project at its infancy with mostly dirt and clay, Tam said she worries that the stormwater overflow is so extensive at this stage. “What happens when they add
a bunch of homes?” she added. “That water’s going to have nowhere to go.” During the March 2017 hearing, Richard Collier, the project engineer of McKim & Creed, LLC, said that water would flow into an existing pipe under Airlie Road. Council member Kevin O’Grady and several residents said they were worried that there wouldn’t be enough space. Tam said many of the neighbors were upset that the stormwater reached the Airlie Gardens pond. “The pond was just cleaned and now this has happened,” Tam said. “The pond doesn’t have much flow. It’s stagnant. So this being added onto it? It’s a lot to deal with.” When residents went to talk with Collier about the
problems with Airlie Road and the Gardens, they wanted concrete answers to assuage their fears. Tam said they didn’t get any. “The city didn’t see any violations, but did they even come out here?” she asked, frustrated with the efforts of the local government. “There’s nothing more we can do other than complain about it and try to bring attention to it. Not enough people are talking about this. I’m just wondering are the people who are responsible doing their job? We just don’t know.” The next Wilmington City Council meeting is Tuesday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall on 102 N. 3rd St. The meeting is open to the public.

members said that only the state could put a stoplight there. But members of the board said they understood their concerns and added recommendations to the town’s board of aldermen that they more carefully examine the traffic issues before approving the project. “It needs to be done properly and safely,” Smith said of the project. The planning board also included a condition that the town would have to inspect the efforts to preserve the trees on the site before approving the building permit. Members of the planning board acknowledged the concerns about traffic, with chairman Jim Smith noting that truck unloading in the center “suicide lane” is so far one of the biggest traffic blockers on the road.

plants and trees to cater to the site”, according to Blair Walton, a member of the Wilmington Tree Commission, who further states that “it’s an urban oasis habitat for birds, butterflies and other beneficiary wildlife.” Honorary tree awards went to TD Bank for their many programs, notably the TD Green Streets Grant that purchased 50 trees, a water trailer for irrigation, training for neighborhood tree keepers to benefit numerous tree plantings and reforestation. The second honorary award
Architecture + Design PLLC, said that designers “have done everything we can to minimize the impact” of the store. Site development will implement “light imprint” principles to promote sustainability, including “dark sky” lighting techniques, and a focus on saving the significant tree canopy, he said. The current ABC Store at 6730 Wrightsville Ave. is 4,138 square feet and was built in 2001. The new store would have 7,050 square feet, as well as a loading dock and larger parking lot. The Wrightsville Avenue store is the third smallest of the nine stores in the county, but generates nearly 13 percent of the county’s total liquor sales revenue. The retail area of the new store would be about the same size, with most of the size increase stemming from a larger warehouse facility on site, Smith said. Smith said the the building is designed to be in keeping with the coastal scale and vernacular of the area, which he established in his design of Lumina Station 20 years ago.
went to the Cape Fear Garden Club for aiding the local landscape and forests, including donations of both funds and volunteers for the previous TD award and established a grant to the Alliance for Cape Fear trees. Walton concluded his presentation with asking those that attended the city council meeting to “look for opportunities for preservation, for design, for outstanding maintenance, to do within their own lives, or within the community, to assist in our mission,” and awarded each of the recipients for their contribution to the urban environment.

The revised plan will produce 26-30 percent less traffic that previously proposed, engineer John Davenport said. The businesses selected for the development are also planned to limit its traffic impact, as engineers adding there will be no high-traffic impact businesses like gas stations, convenience stores drive-through restaurants and grocery stores. The commitment of the Westin Hotel will support long-term economic growth in the area, developers said. “The type of development that will support the capacity to draw top talent here,” Jones said.

The engineers also said its traffic impact takes into account other projects planned in the area, including the $250-million CenterPoint project proposed by Swain & Associates near the intersection of Military Cutoff and Eastwood roads. The approval comes after the developers withdrew their proposal from the city’s planning commission in 2017 following a poor reception from the council. From that experience, they retooled their proposal to reduce traffic and improve the potential tenants at the development, according to Livian Jones, a local representative for the Carroll Companies.

AREA BRIEFS Wilmington firefighter adopts dog rescued from burning house
After being rescued from a burning house on Vance Street by Wilmington’s bravest just one week ago, this lucky pup has found herself a second chance at life and happiness. Last Sunday, as Wilmington F i r e f i g h t e r s P f e ff e r a n d Richardson were conducting a primary search of the residence, they discovered Katie in a back room, trying to hide from the smoke, her little body becoming overcome by the inhalation of the toxic smoke. Fortunately, Katie was rescued and brought outside to receive immediate medical treatment from Wilmington Firefighter Bransford. Katie was later transported by Wilmington’s Assistant Chief Tom Robinson to a local emergency animal hospital where she was treated for smoke inhalation. After spending several days in the animal hospital, Katie was discharged Saturday from the hospital and is doing well. She is expected to make a full recovery and is at her new home, with her new owner, Firefighter DeVilbiss, from the Wilmington Fire Department.

Wrightsville Beach Hurricane Preparedness Action Items Hurricane Season is here and the town of Wrightsville Beach has issued hurricane preparedness action items residents should take now before a storm threatens the coast:
Hurricane Preparedness
Everyone should have a personal disaster preparedness kit. This kit should include water and non-perishable food for 3 to 7 days, blankets or sleeping bag, prescription medicines, first aid kit, personal hygiene items, flashlight, battery-powered radio, spare batteries, appropriate clothing, basic hand tools, important documents and cash. Add special items for babies, the elderly, and pets. Anyone with interests in Wrightsville Beach (residents and property owners, visitors, business owners, etc.) should have a personal evacuation plan. All areas of Wrightsville Beach are prone to hurricane storm surge flooding Storm surge flooding claims more lives than any other hurricane hazard. In addition, residents and property owners should have a current vehicle tax decal that serves as a means of identification for reentry following a mandatory hurricane evacuation. Purchase Town vehicle tax decals prior to hurricane season from the Lanier Parking Office (910-2565453). Since Town staff must also prepare to evacuate, Town tax decal sales are suspended when a Hurricane Warning (hurricane conditions expected within 36 hours) is posted. Monitor weather forecasts and understand hurricane forecasting terminology. Know where to go if it is necessary to evacuate. Staying with family or friends is the best option since hotels fill up quickly. Fuel all vehicles if a storm threatens. Leave early and don’t travel further than necessary to reach safe shelter. Remember to plan for your pets. Designate a family member or friend outside of the disaster area to act as an emergency contact. Have a plan for protecting your home or business. Use plywood or storm shutters to protect windows and doors from flying debris. If windows or doors fail, pressure increases inside the structure and the likelihood of roof failure increases. Prepare plywood or shutters before a hurricane threatens. To minimize the risk of fire, turn off LP gas and electricity prior to evacuating. Turn off water to docks and piers to prevent losing water through damaged
piping. During a hurricane event, Town of Wrightsville Beach officials will continue to monitor the weather situation and provide updated information as it becomes available via email notices, the Town’s website www.TownOfWrightsvilleBeach.com, and the Town’s Facebook page.
Businesses, Marinas, Boat Owners, Contractors, Property Managers, and Caretakers
Hurricane re-entry passes are issued by the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and are available for pick up starting April 1st of each year. Passes may be obtained at the front desk of the Police Department, Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding holidays. Applicants must bring a valid driver’s license or ID card, and proof of relationship to the business, marina, or property in which you are associated. Passes should be retained for the duration of the season. For additional details, please call the Wrightsville Beach Police Department at 256-7945.

New season brings old and new faces to the Wrightsville Beach Farmers’ Market By Daja Terry Intern
The Wrightsville Beach Farmers’ Market kicked off its ninth season this May, presenting more than 30 vendors with a variety of products for customers. This season boasts everything from farmers with fresh fruits and vegetables to fishermen with fresh seafood to artists with ocean-themed crafts. Some vendors have been with the market since its inception, such as Davis Seafood, whereas some experienced their first day with the market this past Monday, like Altar Cross Farms. No matter if new or settled into the atmosphere of the Wrightsville Beach community, many vendors said that the market was strong and the people were friendly. The Davis family has a centuries-long history of commercial fishermen in their belt, and Davis Seafood has been around for several decades with a certified facility in Sneads Ferry. They produce local, wild-caught seafood. Although based out of Sneads Ferry, they had a strong clientele in Wrightsville Beach, so when they brought Davis Seafood to the farmers’ market, they had a solid base to work with. Glen Hieronymous, a disabled veteran who was once an airline pilot and a sea captain, said: “I worked with Davis Seafood for 34 years. They always gave us quality. That’s important here. I know the people. I trust them.” Rachel Willoughby has been making and distributing her salsa for free for 15 years, but her friends
and family encouraged her to start selling. Debuting at $7 a pint, Willoughby is in her first season selling her RAW Salsa at the market, which gets its name from her initials. She has set up a system of recyclability, giving customers a $1 discount if they return the jar. The salsa is completely raw, handmade, and full of spice. “I had a boyfriend who was into the Latin culture,” Willoughby said. “My first try making it was good, but not great. I just kept trying until it was. But now it’s a team effort. My family helps me prepare it on Monday afternoons, and I go to several farmers’ markets a week to sell it.” The Wrightsville Beach Farmers’ Market features many craft vendors, including Kim Fisher’s Coastal Terra, presenting shell jewelry, hanging plants resembling jellyfish, and flour bag towels. “This was just a natural pivot from designing weddings. Now I’m local and loving it,” Fisher said. Terra Vita Farm focuses on sustainability and organic foods. Michael Torbett explained that the grocery store fruits and vegetables have only about 20 percent or less of the nutrient density they started out with when they were harvested. “My produce has no chemicals or pesticides, is clean, nutrient dense, and beyond organic,” he said. The Wrightsville Beach Farmers’ Market is held every Monday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Seawater Lane adjacent to Town Hall.
