the Board to request an exemption to the Residential Sewer Service Policy for their property on Dora’s Road in Four Oaks Both Mr & Mrs Coley read from their letter of request to the Board , as follows My name is Rufus Floyd Coley , Jr My father , Rufus Floyd Coley , Sr purchased and has owned lots 18 parcel # 08J12195V and 19 08J12199G on Doras Road in Four Oaks , NC for 47 years There was recently a commercial that said , “ Every parent’s wish is to be able to provide and leave something for their children ” However , he was never financially in a position to build upon and develop the land he managed to buy He did however , ensure all tax obligations were satisfied as well as paid a monthly water bill I took ownership of the property in August 12 , 2010 and have paid both tap and property taxes on a timely manner , in anticipation of carrying out my father’s hopes and dreams of developing and building homes on both properties Sadly , my father passed on March 30 , 2014 Upon a recent percolation test performed on 09 - 20 - 2016 the Johnston County Health and Environmental Division evaluated and determined the property to have unsuitable soil wetness conditions in accordance with the laws governing wastewater systems in North Carolina After following up to see what viable options were and to ensure both lots were tested , which we confirmed they were , the examiner explained the land was not suitable for a septic system and advised us to contact the Utilities Department to determine if we were able to connect to the county sewer system at the end of the subdivision on Doras Rd After using a local surveyor , Mr Merle Hall , to survey both lots , spending an entire year visiting various home builders , seeking financing and finally working with Eagles Homes to come up with an approved modular home , we were once again at a road block This time however , we weren’t hit with another road block but what will ultimately be a dead end under the existing “ clause ” or rule that has been adopted by the Board of Commissioners In researching our next step to move forward , Ms Chandra Coats , the Director of Johnston County Public Utilities , informed us that we would not be able to connect to the system because it doesn’t appear that my father participated in the sewer program in 2004 She did explain that there was a possibility that we could connect to the sewer line if we had a relative who participated in the program Since my father had no immediate family members that were enrolled in the sewage system plan , we wouldn’t be able to connect to the sewer line , thus prohibiting and halting our plans on developing the land Not only does this “ rule ” present numerous disadvantages to an entire generation of people , particularly African Americans who could barely afford to own land almost 50 years ago , but outright seems unjust to future generations , as myself After speaking to several people familiar with the Devil’s Racetrack area , it surfaced that this area had numerous failed perk test As a result , a county sewer system was constructed We had absolutely no prior knowledge of the substandard soil issuesPage2426 November 7 , 2016 – 10 00 am Continued prior to our quest As a result , there are a number of issues I wanted to address with the entire process I Why did the Johnson County Health and Environment Division collect 250 for a Septic Permit if it has been publicly documented , since 2004 , that the Devils Racetrack area is not acceptable grounds for septic system Thus , the reason the sewage system was implemented II I don’t fully understand the reason for the clause preventing me from developing the land My only goal is to build upon the land As far as I am aware , there have only been two homes on Doras Road In doing early research to gain zoning approval , we were told the Town of Four Oaks no longer allow manufactured homes to be built within the town limits My assumption of this restriction is to improve the area in hopes of attracting home buyers and businesses What I don’t understand is how leaving the subdivision of Doras Road undeveloped , by preventing us from building , is helping to accomplish that goal III Retrieving online tax records , the taxes have been in good standing for the last ten years And my father has paid the taxes since first purchased in 1969 and 1970 The monthly payments for the tap system have been sent on time every month In discussing with my mother , Lorraine Coley , she has communicated that she knew nothing about additional sewage system being implemented This sewage program was implemented years after the tap program , which he participated in IV For this rule or clause to be the determining factor that will hinder building on what was once my father’s land , and which have paid taxes to Johnston County for the last 47 years is unjust and absolutely unfair The total amount that my father would have paid had he known about the sewage program , or could have afforded the program , which ever was the case , would have been 3,360 If unpaid fees are a determining factor , I am more than willing to pay My father did the best he could with what he had but struggled financially If somehow , he could have afforded an opportunity to build on the land after purchasing it 47 years ago , his life and his children’s lives would have been different In turn , I’m trying to accomplish what he was unable to do and build a better foundation for my child I believe this helps the community of Four Oaks It helps with the plan to better the community through developing undeveloped lots and brings in additional property taxes It also aids to stimulate business for local home builders It is my wife and my hope that you and the fellow members of Johnston County Board of Commissioners come to the conclusion that the clause is something that is not warranted and grant our wish to build on the land Commissioner DeVan Barbour explained that the policy does appear to be almost punitive in nature ; however , it is not meant to be in that this is the only line in the County that has restrictions placed upon it Commissioner Barbour continued that at the time the line was installed , there were homes in that area that had failed or failing septic systems and the federal government agreed to help fund the project He stated the funding at that time was just to fix the existing problems and did not allow for future expansions Commissioner Barbour stated staff identified those in that area that had failed or failing systems and the line was built with a capacity for those residents He stated the issue is more of a capacity issue rather than a punitive issue Commissioner Barbour reiterated the project was to help those in that area with their failed or failing systems and the line was not designed for extra capacity Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr recalled the line was only a 4 ” diameter line that was installed and staff would need to determine how many people , that originally signed up for a tap but have not yet connected , are left to make sure adequate capacity is available for them when needed , before new taps could be considered At the inquiry of Commissioner Barbour , Director of Utilities Chandra Coats stated it is a 4 ” main and most of the taps that were purchased have connected as that was a requirement if their system was failing , they had to go ahead and connect She stated there are only a handful of taps that did not immediately connect and there is a limited amount of capacity in the line , but cautioned it is not a large amount Upon a question by Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver , Ms Coats stated approximately 40 taps were purchased and the number of those that connected is somewhere in the 30s She stated the overall capacity is based on gallons per day and there is sufficient capacity in the line to accommodate possibly 15 more taps for aPage3427 November 7 , 2016 – 10 00 am Continued standard 3 - bedroom home Ms Coats explained the project was funded with grant and loan funding She stated because of the loan funding , the residents on this line pay a higher base rate to account for that loan funding At the inquiry of the Commissioners , County Manager Rick Hester reported the Board has denied one other request in the past that was for a spec house Commissioner Mims asked how many lots are in the Dora’s Road Subdivision Ms Coats stated it appears to her that some of the lots within the subdivision are small and would be combined to accommodate a full dwelling Mrs Coley stated they own two lots within the subdivision next to each other that are half acre lots Lots 18 and 19 Motion and Second Commissioner Chad M Stewart moved the Board grant the request for an exemption to the policy Commissioner Ted G Godwin seconded the motion Further Discussion Chairman Tony Braswell asked what type of system is used to tap on to the sewer line Ms Coats explained it is a step system whereby the property owner has a septic tank and effluent pump which pumps back into the force main She stated the sewer line does go down Dora’s Lane close to Mr Coley’s property who would be responsible for installing the step system to tie into the sewer main , consistent with what other property owners had to install Commissioner DeVan Barbour stated he wants to make sure that there is adequate capacity for all others that initially purchased a tap Commissioner Barbour stated if there is interest , the Board needs to determine needed volumes and capacities to avoid over - committing Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver spoke on the differences in people buying taps for their own homes versus spec homes He stated the Board needs to discuss the policy and capacities going forward so all can be treated fairly Ms Coats stated staff could look at possible revisions to the policy and bring recommendations back to the Board Commissioner Barbour asked if the motion allowed for one or two taps to be purchased Ms Coats stated it is her understanding that Mr & Mrs Coley have two lots , but intend to build one home so they would only need one tap Mrs Coley clarified that they have two lots She stated they wish to build on one lot and then in the future when it is financially feasible for them , they wish to build on the other lot as a rental property so they would need two taps Chairman Braswell stated he thinks the Board has gone on record as not approving exemptions for spec homes in that area , but the Board is willing to grant an exemption for an owner occupied dwelling Chairman Braswell expressed concerns with granting exemptions for rental property or spec homes Amendment to Motion and Second Commissioner Chad M Stewart amended his motion to grant an exemption to the policy for one sewer tap Commissioner Ted G Godwin seconded the amended motion Further Discussion Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver asked everyone to keep in mind that the Board declined a request in the past and while he does not mind amending the policy , the Board needs to know exactly what those amendments would allow for as well as how much capacity is left on the line in order to consider any future requests Page4428 November 7 , 2016 – 10 00 am Continued Commissioner Chad M Stewart agreed that at some point , the policy would need to be reviewed to accommodate any future requests Vote The amended motion to grant an exemption to the policy for one sewer tap carried by unanimous vote 6 Kenly Fire Department – Request for Tax Exempt Loan Status Assistant Fire Chief Tim Little explained the Kenly Volunteer Fire Department is requesting the Board to grant them tax exempt loan status so they can borrow up to 600,000 from KS Bank for the purchase of a 2017
