3.(Continuation from PY) Technical Expertise for a Quasi-Judicial Hearing: The prospective buyer of the Etowah golf course initially proposed to purchase a golf course in Etowah, NC for the purpose of building a large RV Park. County ordinances allowed this under "Special Use Permits" but the proposal required the approval of the County's Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Etowah Valley Preservation Society (EVPS) working for the community was required to show that such an RV Park would adversely impact property values, public safety, and not be in harmony with the surroundings. EVPS contracted with a professional appraisal company to assess the impact on property values, a traffic engineer to assess the impact on local roadways and intersections, and a public safety expert to inform us on the impact of an RV park with 345 sites housing a transient population. The appraisal company provided a report which documented peer reviewed studies that show "frontage golf course premiums typically averaged between 15 and 30 percent." The study then reviewed the premium for neighborhoods surrounding the Etowah golf course, and in one case the premium was 29% normalized for one acre. Their summary conclusion was Etowah lots along the golf course command a premium when compared with lots not on the golf course. The traffic engineers conducted an extensive site visit, met with residents, participated in Zoom sessions, and looked at potential safety and operational impacts in the vicinity of a proposed subdivision on the golf course. They reviewed the developers traffic impact study and provided a 33-page review of the document. They also reviewed and commented on the NC Department of Transportation's report on required roadway improvements such as access points and key roadway intersections. They identified specific concerns with text and photos on the community's narrow roads, lack of road shoulders, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and the structural integrity of local bridges, some of which are 65 years old and narrow. They provided an in-person briefing to the planning board. Their study gave specific recommendations for the Planning Board's consideration in approving the subdivision.$0$8,168
1. (Continuation from PY) Suit of the Golf Course: The Etowah Valley Preservation Society (EVPS) sought to protect a golf resort which is located in the center of Etowah, NC and is surrounded by neighborhoods and a restaurant that would be damaged if the open space of the golf course were converted to an RV park or high-density housing complete with a large wastewater treatment plant adjacent to the town's main street. Surrounding neighborhoods were built, advertised, and sold with the golf course in mind. EVPS sponsored litigation arguing the real property described in the club deed had been dedicated to the exclusive use as a golf course under implied restrictions, easements, and other rights, which, separately and in combination, prohibited defendants from constructing an RV Park or high-density subdivision with a large wastewater treatment plant. The suit was filed with the local courts. The judge ruled for the defendants. EVPS then appealed the ruling to the NC Courts of Appeal. The appeal was settled out of court. Legal work involved substantial property records investigation, review of past legal cases and transcripts, and the filing of various court documents. The golf course owners have since made substantial improvements to the golf course and food services provided. No fees were sought or recovered in this litigation.$0$0
2. (Continuation from PY) Identifying Master Plan Deficiencies: The prospective buyer of the Etowah golf course prepared a master plan for the proposed subdivision and submitted it to the county planning board for approval. EVPS prepared an extensive presentation for the planning board to identify deficiencies and non-compliance with county land development codes. Legal services were retained to assist residents in reviewing and interpreting county code to identify master plan deficiencies. These legal services included assistance in drafting a letter to the planning board addressing: how the master plan failed to meet county land development codes, missing documents required for approval, and letters from agencies stating water and sewer systems would provide sufficient capacity.$0$0
