GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.HOW ARE YOU? HI, HOW ARE YOU? I JUST WANNA WELCOME EVERYONE TO, UH, THE NEW VERN REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING FOR DECEMBER 10TH.
AND, UM, WE ASKED, UH, JESS, JESSIE ROOT, THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THAT SHE CALLED ROLE.
SHE'S TAKING THE PLACE OF, UH, OUR ASSISTANT, TAKING THE PLACE OF, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TONIGHT.
I WILL CALL THE ROLE COMMISSIONER PROCTOR.
UH, WE'LL START, WE'LL START WITH OUR MISSION STATEMENT.
GOOD MORNING, PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE EQUAL TIME.
LISTEN TO BILL CONSENSUS, SHARE ACCURATE INFORMATION, PUBLIC PERCEPTION.
[4. Consider Approving the Agenda.]
I GUESS EVERYONE ELSE RECEIVED IT.AND JENNIFER, TONIGHT AS IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE AGENDA AS AS PRINTED? SO, MOVE.
IF THE, MOVE TO PROBABLY SECOND THAT WE CONCLUDE THE AGENDA.
[5. Public Comment]
NUMBER FIVE, PUBLIC COMMENT.UH, MR. PHILLIP HENDRICK IN THE PACKAGE, YOU'LL SEE HE'S, UH, HAS PRESENTED PACKAGE FOR PROPERTIES HE'S WANTING TO PURCHASE, AND, UH, I THINK MOST OF US HAVE READ THROUGH IT.
BUT YOU ANYTHING TO SAY TOWARDS THIS? WELL, I JUST HAVE A PASSION TO BUILD AFFORDABLE SMALL HOUSES, AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL I CAN'T GET UP ANYMORE.
UM, NOW, YOU KNOW, UH, I GUESS WERE YOU, DID YOU, WERE YOU ABLE TO TALK TO, UH, ZEV BEFORE HE LEFT? YOU TALKED? I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF HEARING.
THE ONLY THING, THE ONLY THING IS IF, WHEN, YOU KNOW, IF WE APPROVE IT, IT'S STILL GOTTA GO TO UPSET BID.
AND OTHER THING IS THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IS WE DID IT ONCE BEFORE AND I, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PROBABLY TALK TO YOU.
UH, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING PLANS OF WHAT YOU WANT TO PUT THERE BECAUSE WE HAD SOME, SOME, UH, GENTLEMAN TO COME BEFORE WANTED TO BUY THE PROPERTY, AND WE DIDN'T APPROVE IT UNTIL WE SAW HIS PLAN, AND THE PLAN WAS NOT WHAT WE ACCEPTED.
SO, UH, BUT, UH, BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN YOU PRODUCED SO FAR, UM, I THINK PERSONALLY I THINK THIS WE'LL BE OKAY.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON, UM, MS. HENDRICKS? SO, IS THERE A REQUEST BEING MADE NOW IS FOR THE TWO PARCELS THAT IN THE AGENDA, OR, OR YOU JUST WERE KIND OF GETTING SOME FEEDBACK FROM HIM ON HIS FUTURE PLANS? NO, SIR.
MR. STEWART, I, I BELIEVE THAT MR. HENDRICKS IS COMING BECAUSE HE IS SUBMITTED AN OFFICE OF PURCHASE.
THE LOTS LOCATED ON WHITE STREET.
UM, SPECIFICALLY 6 0 6 WHITE STREET, WHICH IS OWNED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT MR. HENDRICK IS INTERESTED IN BUILDING A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON THAT LOT THAT'S OWNED BY THE COMMISSION.
THERE'S A LOT BEHIND IT THAT'S OWNED BY THE CITY AND COUNTY.
AND MR. PHIL, IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU SUBMITTED AN OFFER TO PURCHASE THAT LOT AS WELL FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY? ARE YOU PROPOSING TO DO TWO HOUSES? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TO DO? WELL, THERE ARE TWO LOTS, BUT THERE PROBABLY, BUT I, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FIRST.
UH, BUT IT'S FOR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ONLY.
AND IN YOUR PACKET, UM, MR. STEWART AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THERE IS A RESOLUTION THAT YOU COULD CONSIDER ADOPTING TONIGHT, INITIATING THE UPSET BID PROCESS? YES.
AS YOU REVIEW THAT RESOLUTION, UM, I'D LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO EXHIBIT B, WHICH IS PAGE FOUR OF FOUR OF THAT RESOLUTION EXHIBIT.
IF I SAID B, M AND A, A, YEAH.
[00:05:01]
SETS UP SOME CONDITIONS CORRECT.THAT YOU ALL MAY CONSIDER IMPOSING THOSE CONDITIONS INCLUDE THAT ONCE HE CLOSES ON THE PROPERTY, WHOEVER THE FINAL HIGHEST BIDDER IS, THEY'VE GOT 12 MONTHS TO START CONSTRUCTION.
STARTING CONSTRUCTION IS CONSIDERED, UM, COMPLETING THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOME.
UM, THEY'VE GOT AN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY'VE GOT TO, IF THEY DON'T START WITHIN 12 MONTHS, THEN TITLE OF THE PROPERTY REVERTS BACK TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
AND, UM, THE, ANOTHER CONDITION THAT IS STATED HERE IS THAT ANY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING THAT'S NOT ON OR OCCUPIED MUST BE SOLD OR RENTED TO LOW TO MODERATE INCOME PERSONS.
THAT IS IN THE CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN IMPOSED IN THE PAST BY, BY THIS BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN APPETITE TO CONTINUE THAT CONDITION OR IF YOU WANNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT AS YOU HAVE MR. HENDRICK HERE TONIGHT, IT MAY BE FRUIT FOR YOU FOR YOU ALL TO DISCUSS THOSE CONDITIONS WITH HIM TO SEE IF IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH HIS PLAN AND WHETHER HIS PLAN IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO IMPOSE.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. HILL, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT OR PAST PROJECTS, EITHER IN THE REC REDEVELOPMENT AREA, THE CITY OF NEW BERN OR IN CRAVEN COUNTY? YES, SIR.
I'M, I FINISHED ONE DOWN BLADES AVENUE, AND NOW I'M WORKING ONE ON BERN MM-HMM
STREET, AND IT'S RIGHT BEHIND, UM, IT'S JUST RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BARBERSHOP.
AND ARE THESE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS OR, OR, UH, SMALL HOMES ALSO, OR TINY HOMES OR, YEAH.
WELL, I DON'T, I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE THE TINY HOME THING, BUT THEY ARE SMART SMALL HOMES.
THEY'RE BOTH IN THE 4 50, 4 75 FRAME, SQUARE FOOT, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY.
MS. DUKE, I GUESS MY ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE IS, IS I, I, I, PROCESS WISE, I, I HEARD YOU MENTION THAT THERE WERE SOME OTHER FOLKS THAT HAD TO SUBMIT DRAWINGS.
SO IF, IF, IF, IF THAT IS THE PROCESS, IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN NOW OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO, TO NOT DO THAT IN THE PAST OR BECAUSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT HERE.
MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE BECAUSE IT'S NOT HERE, MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD AND ADOPT RESOLUTION.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S GOT TO GO INTO, UH, UPSET BID AND THE PROCESS.
MR. FIELD COULD GIVE US A, GIVE US HIS FLOOR PLAN, AND EITHER WAY IT GO, WE CAN ALWAYS SAY NO OR YES, YES OR NO.
I GUESS WHAT I, I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IS THE PROCESS FOR, UM, POTENTIAL BUYER BEFORE EVEN KNOWS FOR UPSET BID TO BRING IN THOSE DRAWINGS? IS THAT HOW IT HAPPENED? YES.
BUT, BUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE WAS YEAH.
WHEN HE WAS BRING IN, YOU KNOW, ZELLE WAS GONE AND THEN BECAUSE ZELLE WAS ALWAYS WORKED, WALKED THOSE THAT WANTED PROPERTY TO THE PROCESS.
I, I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS, AND NOT THE WHOLE MR. UH, THE GENTLEMAN, MR. PHIL UP, BUT IF THE PROCESS IS THAT, UH, YOU NEED THE DRAWINGS AND YOU NEED THE DRAWINGS MM-HMM.
THAT SHOULD BE, THAT SHOULD BE ACROSS THE BOARD.
UM, WELL, IT IS ACROSS THE BOARD.
IT'S JUST THAT THE PERSON THAT WAS DOING IT WAS NOT HERE ANYMORE.
AND THAT SLIPPED, THAT SLIPPED THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE CRACKS ON THAT SITUATION.
SO HAS THE, HAS THE UPSET DATE PROCESS HAPPENED? DOESN'T LET US HAPPEN YET? NO.
UH, IT NOT GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL WE VOTE TONIGHT WHETHER OR NOT TO ALLOW HIM TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IN THE INSTANCE THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS ON THE AGENDA, UH, OR COMES NEXT WEEK AND SAYS, OR THE NEXT MEETING SAYS, HEY, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY POTENTIALLY WANNA GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, ARE THEY GONNA BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT DRAWINGS? YES.
SO THEN, THEN I THINK THAT IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT YOU FOLLOW THAT PROCESS.
I'M SAYING YEAH, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, AND AGAIN, I, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT TO HOLD MR. FILL UP AT ALL.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO BE PROCESSED MM-HMM
BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T BE, THAT WOULDN'T BE CONDUCIVE FOR THE NEXT PERSON THAT COMES IN HERE TO, TO, TO BE ABLE TO COME AND THEN WE SAY, HEY, YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THESE DRAWINGS MM-HMM
ANYONE ELSE HAVE THANKS, SIR? YES.
JUST REAL QUICK QUESTION FOR THE ATTORNEY.
WOULD, WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED POOR FORM FOR US TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS AND THEN BECAUSE OF A TECHNICALITY, LIKE IT NOT BEING SUBMITTED DOCUMENT A PICTURE NOT BEING SUBMITTED, THEN TO DECIDE WE'RE GONNA GO BACKWARDS WHEN WE GET DOWN THE ROAD.
SO WE HAVE THE LAWS OF NORTH CAROLINA THAT DICTATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS, AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE GENERAL STATUTE THAT REQUIRES YOU ALL TO REVIEW PLANS.
WE ALSO HAVE POLICY AND CUSTOM OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
SO MANY MONTHS AGO, YEARS AGO, YOU ALL ADOPTED A, ALMOST LIKE A 1, 2, 3 STEP PROCESS
[00:10:01]
FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND MAKE PRESENTATIONS TO YOU ABOUT PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT.IT HAS BEEN THE CUSTOM OF THIS BOARD TO REQUIRE SOME ILLUSTRATION, WHETHER IT'S A PROFESSIONAL DRAWING OR A SKETCH, A FLOOR PLAN, PHOTOGRAPHS, SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU ALL SOME INDICATION OF THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR SO THAT YOU CAN ENSURE THAT THAT DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
AND WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS A DEVIATION, UM, FROM YOUR POLICY AND CUSTOM.
NOW, A MAJORITY OF YOU ALL AT ANY TIME CAN CHANGE THE POLICY.
SO TO YOUR QUESTION, MR. STRICKLAND, IF A MAJORITY OF YOU ALL WANT TO DEVIATE, YOU CAN LEGALLY, WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER IS WHAT MR. MR. STEWART BROUGHT UP, IS WHAT'S GOOD FOR ONE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ALL.
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEVIATE FROM THAT PROCESS, THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT GOING FORWARD, EVERYONE IS HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD.
UM, IF, YOU KNOW, I THINK MR. PARHAM INDICATED THAT MR. HENDRICK HAS DONE SOME DEVELOPMENT IN THE PAST, AND HE STATED TODAY ON TELEVISION THAT THE DEVELOPMENT HE'S PROPOSING FOR THIS SITE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU'VE ALREADY APPROVED IN THE PAST.
I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT THAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE.
UM, BUT IN, IN THE PAST, THIS BOARD HAS WANTED TO, UM, SEE IN WRITING WHAT DEVELOPMENT THEY WERE APPROVING.
SO IS THERE ANY DRAWINGS THAT, THAT MR. UH, NO FIELD CAN PRODUCE FROM PREVIOUSLY? NOT, NOT HERE.
WELL, HE DON'T HAVE ANY, HE DON'T HAVE IT WITH HIM NOW, BUT HE CAN PROBABLY GIVE US THAT.
SO YOU HAVE A MOTION OR YOU GOT A SUGGESTION OR ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I, AGAIN, I, YOU KNOW, FIRST MEETING, I DON'T, I, I JUST THINK THAT IF YOU'RE GONNA DO IT FOR ONE, YOU GOTTA, I JUST THINK IT'S A PROCESS AND PROCEDURE.
I JUST THINK IT HAS TO BE GIMME A MOTION.
WELL, MY MOTION WOULD BE THAT MR. UH, PHILLIP COMES BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING AND BRINGS THE, THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION, UH, TO SUBMIT BEFORE THE BOARD.
SO I THINK, I THINK MR. STEWART'S MOTION IS TO TABLE THIS ITEM CORRECT.
TO THE JANUARY MEETING FOR MR FOR THE APPLICANT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRODUCE THOSE DRAWINGS, CORRECT.
SECOND, GIMME A SECOND PROFESSIONAL STATE.
MOTION BEEN MADE, SECONDED, UH, THAT WE DELAY THIS MOTION TO DELAY THE APPROVAL SO THAT MR. R HENDRICK CAN COME BACK IN JANUARY WITH PLANS.
WELL, JUST TO BE CLEAR, SHE'S SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PLAN.
IT CAN BE A SKETCH, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE SOME, RIGHT.
BUT, AND ALSO BASED ON WHAT, UH, JAMIE SAID IS THAT THE POLICY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION ACROSS THE BOARD IS THAT THAT IS ASKED FROM EVERYONE, CORRECT? MM-HMM
IN ESSENCE, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, ANY PERSON THAT BUY A LOT FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MM-HMM
WHY IS THAT? IF IT'S, IF IT'S IN THE, THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S CAREER CONCERN BANK, YOU KNOW, WE BROUGHT UP BEFORE IS THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION IS THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT GOES IN CERTAIN AREAS HELPS THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BECAUSE ONCE BEFORE WE HAD A GYM, THEY WOULD COME IN AND PUT HIS HOUSES IN THERE SIDEWAYS.
SO WE PUSHING DOWN TO MAKE SURE FRONT PORCHES ARE FACING THE STREET.
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE TRYING TO CONTROL.
SOME PEOPLE GET PIECES OF PROPERTY, JUST SHOVE IT IN THERE.
WELL, ISN'T THAT, THAT'S, AND THAT'S JUST THAT DON'T, THAT DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ISN'T THAT PART OF YOUR BUILDING PLAN THAT, UH, THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE MUST BE FACING THE MAIN STREET.
SO, AND WHAT I COULD GATHER FROM THE PAST, PEOPLE WOULDN'T PUT MORE BIG HOMES IN THEIR DOUBLE, BUT THEY WASN'T PUT FROM THE SIDE.
SO, AND WHAT I'M SAYING, LOOK LIKE YOU PUTTING A LOT OF RESTRICTION ON THE PEOPLE, AND I'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
I MEAN, THAT CALL ACTUAL HELL TRYING TO BUILD A COUPLE OF HOUSES ON MY LAND AS FAR AS GETTING TO DEVELOPED, AND I'M TRYING TO SEE WHY WOULD ANYONE PUT CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE LAND OTHER THAN WHAT'S IN THE CODE? THERE'S A CODE TO GO BY.
WELL, WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT, WHAT JAMIE SAID WAS THAT THERE WAS ALREADY SOME POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
NOW WE'RE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD.
ESSENTIALLY ALL WE'RE DOING IS ABOUT THE FOLLOW THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE.
AND, AND THAT'S, THAT'S, AND SO IT SEEMS LIKE, UM, MR. PHIL HAS ALREADY DONE THIS BEFORE.
IT WON'T BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO PRODUCE SOMETHING CORRECT.
AND THEN WE JUST ARE HOLDING EVERYBODY AT THE SAME STANDARD.
AND PROBABLY SECOND THAT WE TABLE THIS UNTIL THE JANUARY MEETING.
[00:15:01]
ALL IN FAVOR SAY, AYE.UM, SO I GUESS, JAMIE, THAT, WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED NUMBER SIX ALSO? YES.
MERGED PUBLIC COMMENT WITH THIS PRESENTATION.
MS. MR. CHAIR, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO CAME TO MAKE A PRESENTATION UNDER GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT MM-HMM
I, I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOARD WANTS TO GIVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE GENERALLY GIVE FOUR MINUTES.
NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT ITEM NUMBER SIX.
I I WAS REFERENCING NUMBER FIVE.
SO, OH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PRESENTATION KIND OF.
I GOT CO-LED INTO PUBLIC COMMENT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE HERE WHO WANTED TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[6. Consider Accepting Bid for PID 8-006-126 (606 White Street)]
OKAY.THAT'S ALSO YOUR PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE, YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
SO WE WOULD, WILL WE DO A MOTION TO TABLE THAT ALSO? YES.
UH, MR. PHILLIPS, UH, HENDRICKS, UH, ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTIES, UH, INTO THE NEXT MEETING.
IT'S BEEN MOVED PROBABLY SECOND THAT, UH, WE TABLE ITEM NUMBER 6TH OF JANUARY.
[7. Presentation for Mr. Ansel Jarvis]
UH, PRESENTATION OF MR. ANSEL JARVIS.IS IT, UM, IS IT OKAY TO CALL HIM OR NO.
HAVE HIM ON VIDEO OR NO, THAT'S, THAT'S FINE IF WE GET HERE.
NOW WE HAVE THE INFORMATION, UHHUH
UH, AND IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS MR. PHILLIP.
AND JAMIE, THAT'S THE SAME SITUATION, CORRECT? SAME, SAME SITUATION.
AND JUST FOR CLARITY IN OUR RECORD, MA'AM, WOULD YOU MIND STATING YOUR NAME AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE PROJECT? UM, MY NAME IS KISHA, SO, AND, UM, I DATE
AND MR. JARVIS IS NOT PRESENT TONIGHT? NO, HE IS NOT.
DID MR. JARVIS, DO YOU KNOW, DID HE PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY DRAWINGS OR PICTURES OR ANY, ANY RENDERINGS OF WHAT HE'S PROPOSING TO DO WITH THESE LOTS? NOT YET.
IS HE INTENDING TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AT SOME POINT? YES, HE IS.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN HE INTENDS TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION? UM, I KNOW HE, I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATE, BUT WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.
UM, SO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, Y Y'ALL HEARD WHAT SHE SAID.
I WANT TO ALSO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO A LETTER THAT MR. JARVIS, UM, SENT TO THE COMMISSION THAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.
THAT LETTER IS DATED NOVEMBER 29TH, 2025.
UM, WHICH TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO.
UM, BUT AS, UM, WE'VE DISCUSSED EARLIER, I THINK SOMEBODY POINTED OUT THAT THERE ARE NO, UM, RENDERINGS OR DRAWINGS THAT DEPICT VISUALLY WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT MAY LOOK LIKE AND HOW IT MAY RELATE TO, UM, ADJOINING PARCELS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR SITUATION.
SO I HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THAT.
SO, SO WHEN FOLKS ARE, UM, TRYING TO, TO MAKE THESE OFFERS, UH, FOR PROPERTIES THAT WE DEVELOPING COMMISSION, UH, OWNS ARE, IS THERE LIKE A FACT SHEET OR SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE GETTING SO THEY KNOW THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT.
THEY GO BACK TO WHAT ZELLE WAS, YOU KNOW, CHECKLIST, ZELLE WAS DOING ALL THE CHECKLIST STUFF.
AND SO BY THE TIME THEY CAME TO US, THEY WERE PROBABLY A PACKAGE SHOWING DRAWINGS SHOWING, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY AGREED TO, TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
SO A LOT OF TIME WHEN IT CAME TO US, IT WAS ALREADY THERE.
SO, MR. CHAIR YEAH, IF I CAN, I WILL MENTION THERE ARE GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTING AN OFFER AND PURCHASE ON THE REDEVELOPMENT WEBSITE.
AND SO THOSE FOLKS CAN TURN THAT INTO WHO? MATT? I TURN IT INTO, UH, ASSISTANT, UH, CITY MANAGER.
[00:20:01]
YEAH.SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, I GUESS, MR. STEELE, YOU WANNA MAKE A MOTION SINCE YOU, I JUST, I'LL MAKE A MOTION, UH, THAT MR. JARVIS, UH, PRESENTS THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION, UH, FOR HIS ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTIES.
MR. STEWART, I'M ALSO, UH, I THINK YOUR POSITION HAS BEEN, SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE BOARD HAS CUSTOMARILY REVIEWED,
[Items 8 - 10]
ARE YOU ASKING ALSO TO CONTINUE AGENDA ITEMS? EIGHT, NINE, AND 10.THOSE BEING 8 28 EUBANK STREET, 1129 EIGHTH STREET AND 1135 EIGHTH STREET TO THE JANUARY MEETING, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.
BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE ARE MR. MM-HMM
IS EVERYBODY CLEAR ON THAT MOTION? YES.
SO JUST BEFORE WE MOVE, THE BOARD HAD DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO TABLE THIS REQUEST UNTIL JANUARY.
SO THAT MR. JAR CAN COME BACK WITH DRAWINGS OF WHAT HE WANTS TO PUT ON THE PROPERTY.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR.
SO THE DRAWINGS, JAMIE SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL STAMP DRAWINGS.
THEY CAN DO A SKETCH OF WHAT THE, THE, THE, THE FLOOR PLAN LOOKS LIKE FOR THAT PROPERTY.
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A, UH, A PICTURE OF THE EXTERNAL, IT JUST NEEDS TO SHOW A FLOOR PLAN, SQUARE FOOTAGE, THINGS THAT YOU, THAT MAKE THAT, THAT FALLS WITHIN THE CRITERIA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
IN, IN THE PAST, MR. STEWART, UM, PEOPLE HAVE DONE SKETCHES OF FLOOR PLANS THAT SHOW SQUARE FOOTAGE, NUMBER OF BEDROOMS, NUMBER OF BATHROOMS PEOPLE HAVE DONE.
UM, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN LIKE STOCK PHOTOS OF WHAT THE EXTERIOR MIGHT LOOK LIKE TO SHOW THE ORIENTATION OF, YOU KNOW, THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS AND HOW THEY RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER, HOW IT RELATE TO THE STREETSCAPE.
UM, SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPOSING DEVELOPMENT AND THEY'RE ACQUIRING, UM, VACANT LOTS AND INTEND TO KEEP THEM VACANT, THEY'LL JUST SHOW UP A LOT.
SO WHAT THE COMMISSION HAS HISTORICALLY REQUIRED IS VERY MUCH TIED TO WHAT THE REDEVELOPER IS PROPOSING.
SO IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, YOU'VE HAD TWO RE DEVELOPERS COME BEFORE YOU TO PROPOSE CONSTRUCTION AND YOU'RE GONNA WANT SOME INFORMATION THAT LETS YOU BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE IN YOUR MIND WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT MAY BE.
AND I'M PRESUMING ONCE THEY BRING THE, UH, DRONES IN THAT WE HAVE THE NECESSARY SETBACKS ACCORDING TO THE, UH, YEAH.
YOU GOT CERTAIN SETBACKS IN CETERA MM-HMM
SO IF YOU JUST SHARE THAT WITH MR. JARRIS, YOU APPRECIATE IT.
AND DO ME A FAVOR AND IF, AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ALSO CALL, UH, THE OFFICE OF THE, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AND THEN HELP HIM THROUGH IT.
WHERE, WHERE, WHAT WAS IT CALLED AGAIN? UM, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
ASK FOR MR. MARVIN WILLIAMS. OKAY.
[11.a. Neighborhood News (Comm. Leander Morgan Jr.)]
ITEM NUMBER 11.UM, WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH SET IN WITH OUR, UH, WEATHER AS IT RELATES TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
AND AS YOU WELL KNOW, THE LANDSCAPE ALWAYS IS, UH, CHANGING.
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL UNDERWAY.
HOUSING PROJECTS, SOME OTHER BUILDING PROJECTS, UH, THAT THE CITY AND THAT CERTAIN PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, UH, ARE STILL DEVELOPING.
AND THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH GREAT PRO WITH GREAT PROGRESS.
NEXT MONTH WE WILL BE, AGAIN, A NEW CALENDAR YEAR AND WE WILL ALSO HAVE UPDATES FOR THE WELLNESS CENTER AND I'LL HAVE FIGURES OF HOW WELL IT'S BEEN GOING, WHAT'S BEEN USED, WHAT HAS NOT BEEN UTILIZED, AND KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.
WE WILL ALSO BE HAVING AN UPDATE BY CHIEF GALLAGHER WITH NEW BERN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WE'LL BE LETTING YOU KNOW, UM, SOME OF THE CALLS AND REPORTS THAT HAVE GONE INTO NEW BERN PD IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA AS WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, THE PHYSICAL HEALTH, THE MENTAL HEALTH,
[00:25:01]
AND ALSO THE, THE, UH, CRIME CRIME REPORT AGENDAS THAT ARE GOING ON.UH, WE WILL ALSO BE HAVING UPDATES FROM SOME OF THE COMMUNITY GROUPS.
UH, SO WE'RE BASICALLY JUST TRYING TO CLOSE OUT OUR YEAR, GATHER ALL OF OUR INFORMATION SO THAT WE COULD START A NEUTRALITY YEAR.
BUT, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, THINGS ARE GOING REALLY, REALLY WELL IN THE RE DEVELOPMENT AREA.
UH, I'M GONNA ASK, ASK YOU, UH, MR. LONG AND ALSO MR. WALLACE AND WHOEVER ELSE, OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND, AND ESPECIALLY, UH, UH, MR. REGIE JONES, ANYTIME.
DO US A FAVOR, ANYTIME THERE IS A COMMUNITY MEETING, EMAIL US EMAIL THET BOARD THAT THERE'S A MEETING GOING ON AND IT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT WEEK.
'CAUSE WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO BE VISIBLE.
WE NEED TO GO TO THE MEETINGS, HEAR WHAT'S BEING SAID AND THEN, AND SO THAT WAY WHEN SOMEONE COMES, ASKS US SOME QUESTIONS, WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND AT THE SAME TIME WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO.
I THINK I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU BEFORE, SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTIME YOU HAVE A MEETING, YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY, LET US KNOW.
AND, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, HEAR OURSELVES TOWARD NOW.
AND THOSE, UH, PARTICULAR GROUPS ARE THE BLOCK CAPTAINS, THE DUFFY FIELD RESIDENCE COUNCIL.
AND I'M LEAVING ONE OUT, UH, DID I SAY DEPUTY FIELD RESIDENCE COUNCIL? YEAH.
YOU SAID RESIDENT GROUP SMOKE, PEOPLE ASSEMBLY.
SO, UH, AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS, UH, BUILD A RELATIONSHIP SO THAT THEY ATTEND OUR MEETINGS AND SO THAT WE WILL BE ATTENDING THEIRS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MORGAN? ALRIGHT.
[12. Staff Report]
STAFF BOARD? SURE.UM, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE REPORT SUBMITTED, UH, MR. WILLIAMS WROTE THAT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO HIM.
I DO HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU AT YOUR SEATS A MEETING SCHEDULE PROPOSED FOR 2026.
I WOULD ASK THAT YOU TAKE SOME ACTION.
IT'S KEEPING IT THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, EXCEPT I'LL NOTE NOVEMBER IS ON A THURSDAY DUE TO VETERAN'S DAY.
AND ON THAT SCHEDULE YOU WILL SEE YOU HAVE A ANNUAL TRAINING, TRAINING OR ANNUAL RETREAT PLANNING MEETING THAT IS TO TAKE PLACE AT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING ON JANUARY 24TH FROM NINE TO TWO.
SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE A REGULAR MEETING FOR JANUARY.
UM, AND SO IF WE COULD DO THAT HOUSEKEEPING THING AND ADOPT THAT SCHEDULE, I'D APPRECIATE THAT.
IN ONE NOTE, BEFORE YOU CONSIDER ADOPTING THE SCHEDULE, YOU ALL HAVE JUST CONTINUED SEVERAL ACTION ITEMS TO THE JANUARY MEETING.
UM, CUSTOMARILY YOU DON'T HAVE BUSINESS DURING THOSE MEETINGS.
HOWEVER, UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, UM, YOU COULD CARRY OUT YOUR BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN ROLL INTO YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS OR VICE VERSA, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
UH, HOW DOES EVERYONE FEEL TO TRY TO, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPERS WANT TO GET STARTED.
SO WE CAN PUT THOSE ONE AND TWO, THOSE TWO ITEMS AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR RETREAT TO CLEAR THAT OUT, LET THEM MOVE FORWARD.
BUT MR. CHAIRMAN, NOW JUST MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF THOSE TIME FRAMES ON JANUARY 24TH, EXTRA TWO HOURS, IT'S 9:00 AM TO 2:00 PM
THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE AGREED UPON, BUT WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, YOU PUT THE 9:00 AM TO TWO JUST TO GIVE YOU, JUST TO GET YEAH.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO A REGULAR MEETING IN JANUARY.
WE CAN ADD, WE CAN MODIFY THAT IF YOU NO, NO, NO, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS, WE NEVER NEED TO A RETREAT.
SO, SO I'LL PASS ALONG TO, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER THAT WE WANT TO USE THE FIRST TWO ITEMS FOR OUR RETREAT TO TAKE CARE OF THE BUSINESS OF THESE, THESE TWO, UH, ROAD DEVELOPERS.
IS THAT OKAY WITH THE BOARD? I AGREE.
AND THAT RETREAT IS ON A SATURDAY? YES.
NOW DO WE NEED TO GIVE, SORRY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
DO WE NEED TO GIVE THE FOLKS, UH, A DEADLINE FOR HAVING ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PRESENTED TO US? SUBMITTED? I'LL, I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I PASS THAT INFORMATION ON TO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
SO HE CAN GIMME TIME BECAUSE HE'S PUT THAT TOGETHER.
WHO WOULD YOU LET HIM KNOW IT'S COMING? YEAH.
JUST TO NOTIFY THEM THAT IT'S COMING.
ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
UM, AND I DO, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.
AS FOR THE BLOOMFIELD PRODUCT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY COME IN, THE OLD BUSINESS, THE NEW BUSINESS, AND, UH, WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THAT?
[00:30:02]
YOU NOTICE WE HAVE SOLD THAT TO UNTOUCHABLE BUILDERS.I HAVEN'T HEARD AN UPDATE ON THAT AND THAT I GOT ANYTHING ON SAY AGAIN? YOU TALKING ABOUT THE MCCARTER PROPERTY? YEAH, THE BLOOMFIELD PROJECT.
I HAVEN'T HEARD, WE SAW THE UNSHAKEABLE, WE SOLD THE DOOR UNSHAKEABLE SUPPOSED TO BE BUILDING, UH, DWELLING OVER THERE AND HE HAD A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
UNSHAKEABLE BILL WAS SUPPOSED ON BLUE.
NOT THE OH, YOU TALKING ABOUT, UH, THE ONES THAT PULLED WE GOT FROM GREENVILLE PULLED OUT.
THE LAST INFORMATION I GOT WAS HE, UH, CHANGED HIS MIND.
UH, BUT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I, HE, HE, I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE WANTED HIS MONEY BACK, BUT HE OWNS IT NOW.
SO IF, IF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT PROJECT, WHAT YOU MIGHT DO IS GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF TO REPORT BACK.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS AT THE JANUARY RETREAT OKAY.
SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE INFORMATION AND BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT.
BUT I, I THINK MS. RU HAS ASKED FOR SOME ACTION AS IT RELATES TO THE, THE MEETING SCHEDULE.
YOU'LL NEED TO FORMALLY ADOPT THAT SCHEDULE IF THAT'S YOUR, IF THAT'S THE SCHEDULE YOU WANNA HAVE.
SO BY BEING ON JANUARY MEETING, I GET THE PROPERTY GOING TO GO BACK UP FOR SALE OR WHATEVER THAT MAY HAPPEN TO, SINCE YOU BACK DOWN TO THIS OBLIGATION, THESE TWO.
AND THAT WASN'T AWARE OF THAT.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION.
YOU TALKING ABOUT THE TWO PROPERTIES? ONE WE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT? NO, NO.
WE'LL PUT THAT ON THE SCHEDULE FOR US TO GET MORE INFORMATION LIKE JAMES SAID.
SO WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION, GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THAT.
AND SHE CAN DO THAT IN JANUARY.
SO BEFORE YOU, UH, BOARD MEMBERS THE 2026 CITY OF NEW VERN REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SCHEDULE CALENDAR HAS BEEN POSTED.
UH, IS THERE MOSTLY TO ADOPT? SO, WELL, I, I THINK SECOND, I THINK WHAT JAMIE'S SAYING IS THAT WE NEED TO ADOPT ON THE 24TH TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT TO THE MEETING.
IF WE'RE GOING TO, UM, HEAR FOR THOSE TWO GENTLEMEN THERE, YOU CAN ADOPT THE MEETING CALENDAR AS PRI AS PRINTED.
AND YOU CAN DIRECT STAFF TO PUT THOSE ITEMS AT THE TOP OF YOUR AGENDA.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GONNA DO.
SO, SO FAR WE'VE ONLY ASKED FOR THREE NEW ITEMS TO BE PUT ON THE JANUARY 24TH BUSINESS AGENDA YOU HAVE ASKED FOR YES.
FOUR ITEMS. SO 6 0 6 WHITE 8 28 UBANKS 1129 EIGHTH STREET, AND 1135 EIGHTH STREET TO BE PLACED ON THE JANUARY AGENDA.
GENERALLY, YOU, YOU DON'T DO ACTION ITEMS. RIGHT.
BUT YOU ARE, I THINK A MAJORITY OF YOU HAVE DECIDED THAT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEVELOPERS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROCESS, YOU WANT TO HAVE FOUR ACTION ITEMS, THE ONES THAT HAVE ENUMERATED ON YOUR JANUARY AGENDA.
AND COMMISSIONER DI HUNTER HAS ALSO ASKED FOR SOME CLARIFICATION ON THE BLOOM STREET PROPERTY.
THAT WILL BE A TOPIC TO DISCUSS, BUT THAT IT IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM.
AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD, UH, COME UNDER, UH, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE HAD, UH, A RETREAT.
WE DID LAST YEAR'S, LAST YEAR INFORMATION AND THEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE DA TO THE DATE THAT WE WAS MEETING THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND ALSO, ONE MORE THING I WANTED TO MENTION.
UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE FIRST AVENUE PROPERTIES.
COULD WE GET UPDATE, UH, AT THAT SAME TIME LAST? ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? YES SIR.
IT, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA, MR. CHAIR, IF PEOPLE HAVE, UM, TOPICS THAT THEY WANT TO DISCUSS AT THE RETREAT TO CONTACT MR. WILLIAMS MM-HMM
SO THAT HE CAN AGGREGATE THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE IT MAY BE THAT A FEW OF YOU HAVE THE SAME WANT, THE SAME INFORMATION.
AND I'M SURE THAT HE CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE QUESTIONS THE COMMISSIONERS MIGHT HAVE.
AND LIKE I SAID, IN ELECTION, I'M LISTENING, EXCUSE ME, I'M LISTENING WHAT SHE'S SAYING.
BUT, UH, I THINK MR. HUB WAS WORKING ON AS FAR AS AN APPRAISAL ON THAT PROPERTY, DID WE GET LOST? HE HAD AN APPRAISAL, A DEVELOPER OR SOMEONE THAT WAS WORKING ON THAT PROPERTY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, UH, THE OUTCOME WAS AND TRYING TO FOCUS BACK ON, I'M LOOKING AT, I'M LOOKING AT WHAT HE SENT US HIS LAST REPORT AND I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING IT.
UH, MR.
AND ALL OF US GOT COPIES OF THIS, RIGHT? MM-HMM
EVERYBODY GOT NO, I DIDN'T SEE IT IN NEITHER, BUT I WAS STILL CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
[00:35:01]
BECAUSE SOME FOLKS WERE TRYING TO, I THINK, UH, SURVEY IT OR HE HAD SOME PEOPLE WORKING ON IT.I'LL NOTE, I WANNA KNOW WHERE HE WERE.
WE HAD ON THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY.
AND, UH, I THINK THERE'S SEVERAL LOTS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HE WRECKED SOME HOUSES ON.
SO HAS IT GOTTEN LOCKED BETWEEN THE TIME OR AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD BRING UP IN THE, UH, RETREAT, I PRESUME.
YEAH, BECAUSE BASED ON WHAT I'VE GOT HERE, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S C CRAVEN.
UM, THE OTHER ITEMS, REST STREET PROJECT.
I DON'T HAVE THE UPDATE THERE.
THINK WE, UH, STILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THE CAPITAL? YES SIR.
