PROCLAMATION
TOWN OF GARNER
WHEREAS, The United States was founded on the principle that
government must respect people's rights to speak freely, worship as they choose,
and pursue their dreams in liberty. As we remember the enduring importance of
our Constitution's Bill of Rights, our thoughts turn to those who have yet to
secure these precious liberties. During Human Rights Day, Bill of Rights Day, and
Human Rights Week, Americans celebrate the rights bestowed upon all by our
Creator and reaffirm our deep commitment to helping those whose desire for
liberty and justice is still dismissed and denied.
WHEREAS, In a free society, every person is treated with dignity and can
rise as high as their talents and hard work will take them. Freedom is the eternal
birthright of all humanity, and during Human Rights Day, Bill of Rights Day, and
Human Rights Week, we renew our commitment to lead the cause of human
rights and pray for the day when the light of liberty will shine on all of humanity.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ronnie Williams, Mayor of Garner, NC, by virtue of

the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do
hereby proclaim:
December 10, 2010, as Human Rights Day; December 15, 2010, as Bill of
Rights Day; and the week beginning December 10, 2010, as Human Rights Week.
I call upon the people of Garner to mark these observances with appropriate
ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set

my hand and caused the Great Seal of the
Town of Garner, North Carolina, to be
affixed this 6th day of December 2010.

Garner, NC 27529
Dear Council Members:
I am writing on behalf of the Garner Revitalization Association to express our support of

the proposed Streetscape Master Plan. This plan was recommended in the North Garner
Plan and integrates with the recently adopted Historic Downtown Garner Plan to form a
cohesive long range vision for a revitalized Downtown Garner.
I had the opportunity to serve on the steering committee for this project along with
members of the GRA Board of Directors, members of our Beautification Committee,
Downtown property owners and merchants. The inclusive process through which this
plan was developed took into consideration the unique views of this diverse group and
created a plan that balances a respect for our heritage with amenities needed for an active
and prosperous Downtown district.
Many of the recommendations in the proposed Streetscape Master Plan are critical to the
success of our combined efforts to revitalize Downtown Garner. We encourage you to
adopt the Streetscape Master Plan and give sincere consideration to prioritizing the Fast
Track Projects identified therein. We look forward assisting the Town of Garner in the
implementation of this plan.
Sincerely,
John Hodges

Garner Streetscape Plan Summary
The Garner Streetscape Master Plan was authorized by the Town Council in October 2008. The
Council appointed a Steering Committee (separate from the Transportation Plan Committee) to
assist with the development of this plan. One of the recommendations from the North Garner
Plan was to design and implement streetscape improvements along Main Street. The proposed
Streetscape Plan implements the design portion of this recommendation. The Steering
Committee held a series of meetings in 2009 with Staff and the Consultant to work through
the development of the Plan. An informal Open House meeting was held in April 2009 to
gain public input on the preliminary design concepts. Staff and the Consultant continued
to evaluate the preliminary document while waiting for the Historic Downtown Garner Plan
to evolve in order to ensure the two planning efforts were properly coordinated. An Open
House meeting was held in March 2010 for the public to view both the Streetscape Plan and
the 2010 Garner Transportation Plan. Council reviewed the draft Streetscape Master Plan at
its July 2010 work session requested staff and the consultant to make several revisions to the
draft.
The revisions have been made and we are now presenting the revised Streetscape Master Plan
to the Town Council for adoption consideration. A copy of the Plan is enclosed for the
Council’s review.

Project Vision
Project Vision: Uplifting, Restoring, and Evolving Downtown
A key component of the planning process was the Visioning Workshop. A problem statement was
presented during the workshop as follows: What design considerations should be part of Garner’s
Downtown Streetscape Plan. These ideas were then categorized and prioritized as follows:
 Connectivity
 Being ‘Green’
 Utilities
 The Visual Message
 Financing
 Revitalization
Garner Streetscape Focus Areas

The project study area limits as delineated by the project steering committee are: Benson Roads (west);
Jones Sausage Road (east); US 70 between Benson Road and New Rand Road (south); and the right-of-
way for Garner Road (north). Focus areas include:
1. Downtown Core (Emory to Purvis Streets)

2. Intersections of Garner Road/Benson Road and Main Street/Benson Road
3. Intersections of US 70/Benson Road

Design Recommendations
1. Downtown Core:
The design proposed along Main Street transforms the existing streetscape into a visual spine between
New Rand and Benson Road. This visual spine is a town scaled boulevard with a community gathering
place in its center. The new town square is an important community space that provides the Town of
Garner a location for special events, Informational, Directional, and Cultural Signage. In addition this
space acts as a speed table providing traffic calming measures as well as increasing automobile and foot
traffic for local business along Main Street.
Site Program
 Delineate sidewalk into nine foot clear zone and five foot furnishing zone
 Brush sweep and score concrete clear zone and brick furnishing zone
 Add one foot concrete base for lamp post
 Relocate existing lamp post adding lighted bollards, benches, trash receptacles, bike rack, and post box
 Add street trees and metal tree grates
 Create brick welcoming platform/ speed table with lighted bollards, lamp post, and informational,
directional, and cultural signage
 Add crosswalks and handicap parking adjacent to welcoming platform
 Restripe existing parking from angular to perpendicular
 Plant wild flowers with 70% yellow mix between railroad and Main Street
 Landscape groupings along Garner Road Corridor
2. Benson Road at West Garner and Main:

The following represents the site program for Benson Road and Main Street. Benson Road is an
important Linkage to Main Street from US-70 and it connection to West Garner Road.
Site Program-Benson at West Garner

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Contrast Between Existing and Proposed Zoning Classifications
The existing zoning district for the1.67-acre site is Office and Institutional. The O&I
district has been established to accommodate more intense professional and service

intended to serve as a transition between residential districts and more intense districts,
including commercial districts.
The following is a list of permitted uses under this O&I district.
1. Townhouses and Condominiums

The proposed zoning district is Multi Family 2 (MF-2). The MF-2 district is a high
density multi-family residential district that allows apartments, condos, townhomes,
duplexes, and triplexes. The MF-2 district allows a gross density of approximately 13.85
dwelling units per acre. The 1.67-acre site could theoretically accommodate 23 units,
but with development requirements such as building setbacks, parking, and perimeter
buffers a maximum of 15 to 20 units could be expected.
The following is a list of permitted uses under the MF-2 district.
1. Residential cluster

Rezoning Request Summary
The rezoning site is approximately 1.67 acres in size. The property is vacant,
undeveloped, and is located on Poole Drive. The tract is considered an infill site
because development has already occurred around it in the 1970s and 1980s. There is
another vacant infill site on the corner of Poole Drive and Aversboro Road.
The property is zoned O&I. The property owner is requesting a rezoning to MF-2, with
plans to develop the site at a future date into multi-family dwelling units. No site
development plan has been submitted at this time.
Neighborhood Character
This area along and near the intersection of Poole Drive and Aversboro Road operates
as a neighborhood activity center. There is a mix of residential housing densities
including Heather Hills (Single-family), George Towne Manor (Townhomes), Kirkwall
Villas (Townhomes), and Riverbirch (Townhomes). There is also a mix of office and
retail uses as well.
Zoning History
The Planning Department’s rezoning database contains the following rezoning cases in
this area. Most of these cases are over 20 years old.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Public Water & Sewer
The property is located in the town limits and has access to public water and sewer.
There is an 8” sewer line that runs through the rear of the property. A 4” water line is
located on the east property line and an 8” water line on Poole Drive. Development of
the site will be subject to the Town’s Utility Sewer Allocation Policy.
Page 19
Item H-1
5 of 7
TRANSPORTATION
The rezoning site has approximately 218 feet of frontage on Poole Drive. Poole Drive is
a 2-lane collector street with a 60-foot right of way. It is maintained by the Town of
Garner. Traffic counts are not available.
The site is within 300 feet of Aversboro Road (SR 2710). This is a 4-lane facility with an
80-foot right of way. It is maintained by NCDOT. This road is classified as a Major
Thoroughfare on the 2010 Garner Transportation Plan. According to 2009 NCDOT
traffic counts, Aversboro Road in this area has 8,800 trips per day.
Due to the small size of the property (1.67 acres), the traffic impacts should be minimal.
Developing the site into 20 dwelling units would generate approximately 130 trips.
Traffic will be further evaluated when a specific site development is submitted, but
significant traffic impacts are not anticipated.
ENVIRONMENT
The property is not located within a flood plain. There is a “blue line” that runs along the
western property line. Our records show this to be a Reedy Creek Tributary. There is
likely a 50-foot state riparian buffer that will apply to this stream feature. If this is a
designated buffer area development cannot encroach into it. This issue will be
addressed in more detail during development plan review.
STAFF COMMENTARY
Conformity to Adopted Town Plans
According to the Town of Garner Comprehensive Growth Plan, the rezoning site is
located within the boundary of a Neighborhood Center (N15). The Neighborhood
Center is designed to serve the daily needs of the surrounding residential population.
These centers are pedestrian scaled with a limited mixed use area at the center. At the
core, generally located at the intersection of minor arterials, is an area of mixed-use
development with neighborhood scaled convenience retail/service, schools,
professional offices, churches, civic functions, formal open spaces and higher density
residential.

Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Office and Institutional (O&I), Neighborhood Office
(NO), Multi-Family 1 and 2 (MF-1 & MF-2), Mixed Use Development (MXD), Traditional
Neighborhood Development (TND), Planned Unit Development (PUD), and Residential
9 (R-9). The recommended residential density range for this location ranges from 4.84
(R-9) to 13.85 (MF-2) dwelling units per acre.
The requested zoning change from O&I to MF-2 is consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Growth Plan for this area of the community.
While there are no immediate plans to develop the site, the property owner wishes to
move forward with the rezoning to change the allowable uses to include multi-family.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds that Rezoning Application Z-10-01 is consistent with the recommendations of
the Comprehensive Growth Plan for this area of the community. After conducting the
public hearing the Town Council will need to prefer this matter to the Planning
Commission for its review and recommendation. Staff will provide a recommendation
to the Planning Commission which meets at 7 p.m. on December 13, 2010.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Hardin Watkins

Town Manager
FROM: Brad Bass, AICP

Director of Planning
DATE: December 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding

Reasonable Accommodation under the Federal Fair Housing Act
Background
Recently there has been discussion with the Town Council regarding the need for the
Town of Garner to amend the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to establish
procedures for individuals seeking a reasonable accommodation from the Town that is
consistent with Federal Fair Housing Act. The Federal Fair Housing Act makes it
unlawful for anyone “... to discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions or
privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in
connection with such dwelling, because of a handicap...” and defines discrimination
as including “...a refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies,
practices or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such
person equal opportunities to use and enjoy a dwelling.” The scope of the law
extends to landlords, rental agents brokers and local governments.
Summary of the Proposed Text Amendment
1. Creates a new section entitled 3.17 Special Exceptions; and
2. Authorizes the Board of Adjustment to review requests for special

accommodation and grant a special exception from UDO requirements
primarily as it relates to disabled or handicapped homes; and
3. Requires a formal application to be filed which follows the same procedures

that are used for variances (quasi-judicial public hearing, notice to adjacent
property owners, sign posted on property, legal advertisement of the
hearing); and
1|Page
Page 23
Item H-2
2 of 4
4. Establishes the following approval criteria that Board of Adjustment must use
in order to grant a special exception:
(a) "Reasonable.” An accommodation will be determined to be reasonable if it

would not undermine the legitimate purposes and effects of existing zoning
regulations and the benefits that the accommodation would provide to the
handicapped, and if it will not impose significant financial and administrative
burdens upon the Town and/or constitute a substantial or fundamental
alteration of the Town's ordinance provisions); and
(b) "Necessary." An accommodation will be determined to be necessary if it

would provide direct or meaningful therapeutic amelioration of the affects of
the particular disability or handicap), and would afford handicapped or
disabled persons equal opportunity to enjoy and use housing in residential
districts in the Town.
Action
A copy of the draft amendment to the UDO on this matter is enclosed for Council’s
review. After conducting the public hearing and receiving comments, Council will
need to close the hearing and refer the matter to the Planning Commission which
will meet at 7 p.m. on December 13, 2010.
Should you have questions, please advise.

FROM: Brad Bass, AICP

Director of Planning
DATE: December 1, 2010
SUBJECT: NCDOT Municipal Agreement

Don Miller Drive Sidewalk Project
Background
Staff briefed the Town Council at its August 2, 2010 meeting that CAMPO had notified
member jurisdictions in June about the Non-Competitive STP-DA funds that individual
communities had been “banking” over the last several years needed to be obligated
this year or be lost. Garner has accumulated $78,000 that can be used for a bicycle,
pedestrian or transit project. The Council authorized staff to submit a request to
CAMPO for funding of the Don Miller Drive Sidewalk Project. Staff was recently
notified that this project is eligible for STP-DA funding. These types of projects
must be managed by the local jurisdiction and be funded upfront locally with
periodic reimbursements from NCDOT. A 20% local match is required ($19,500).
A Municipal Agreement with NCDOT is required and must be in place by December
31, 2010. Funding for the project has not been appropriated therefore a separate
budget amendment will be required if Council authorizes the execution of the
agreement.
Proposed Project
The sidewalk project is located on the east side of Don Miller Drive. It will connect
sidewalks at Aversboro Elementary School to existing sidewalks along Timber Drive
(see attached map). The new 2010 Garner Transportation Plan identifies this as a
high priority sidewalk. Estimated costs for the project closely align with available
funding from CAMPO. The Engineering Department advises it has received requests for
this sidewalk in the past from the principal of the elementary school. The sidewalk
will complete a connection for pedestrians (mostly school age kids) from several
neighborhoods to the elementary school.
The project consists of approximately 505 feet of new sidewalk along the east side of
Don Miller Drive. Proposed improvements also include curb and gutter construction
and installation of a 15 inch drainage pipe and some minor road widening on the east
side of the road. The Engineering Department estimates the total cost for the project
to be approximately $97,500 (STP-DA funding $78,000). The Town Engineering
Page 31
Item I-1
2 of 25
Department will manage the project. They anticipate the project design could start
in early spring of 2011 with construction starting in the summer of 2011 and
completion projected for the fall of 2011.
Action
Staff requests Council to authorize the execution of the NCDOT Municipal Agreement
regarding the Don Miller Drive Sidewalk Project. Approval of a separate budget
amendment will be required in order to provide funding for the project.
Please advise if you have questions.

TOWN OF GARNER
MEMORANDUM
To: Hardin Watkins
Town Manager
From: Lin Jones

Finance Director
Subject: Adoption of Fiscal Policy Guidelines
During their preparation of the Town’s debt capacity study, Davenport & Company
stressed the importance of adopting fiscal policy guidelines. These guidelines will influence and
guide the financial management practice of the Town. Adhering to these policies is recognized as
the cornerstone of sound financial management. During our conversations with the bond rating
agencies they also stressed the need for adopting fiscal guidelines and inquired about the Town’s
policy and if it had been adopted by the governing body.
The adoption of these policies will:
1. Contribute significantly to the Town's ability to insulate itself from fiscal crisis.
2. Enhance short term and long term financial credit ability by helping to achieve
the highest credit and bond ratings possible.
3. Promote long-term financial stability by establishing clear and consistent

guidelines.
4. Direct attention to the total financial picture of the Town rather than single issue
areas.
5. Promote the view of linking long-run financial planning with day to day
operations.
6. Provide the Town Council, citizens and the Town’s professional management a
framework for measuring the fiscal impact of government services against
established fiscal parameters and guidelines.
The Town is currently in compliance with the recommended guidelines. While we

have followed these in the past, I recommend formal adoption of the attached guidelines.
Please let me know if you have questions.

entering into capital leases, it will repay the debt within a period not to exceed the
expected useful life of the project. Target debt ratios will be calculated annually and

a level sufficient to meet its objectives. The Town will target an available fund balance

Budget; at no time shall the available Fund Balance fall below 25% of the General Fund
Operating Budget. Available fund balances in excess of the target 30% of General Fund
Operating Budget may be appropriated from time to time for pay-as-you-go capital and
other one-time uses.
3. The Town Council may, from time-to-time, appropriate fund balances that will reduce
available fund balances below the 25% policy for the purposes of a declared fiscal
emergency or other such global purpose as to protect the long-term fiscal security of the
Town of Garner. In such circumstances, the Council will adopt a plan to restore the
available fund balances to the policy level within 36 months from the date of the
appropriation. If restoration cannot be accomplished within such time period without
severe hardship to the Town, then the Council will establish a different but appropriate
time period.
