Council Action

he City has completed its mid-year budget report for fiscal year 17-18. Each year the City conducts this report to

adjust/amend the City's budget as deemed necessary by the City Council. Many items in the report are minor and only

require budget adjustments which are approved through the budget office. However, there are some items that require

budget amendments which are approved by City Council. In the attached document you will find a list of major

recommended changes with their respective budget amendments and adjustments. A detailed report on every account is

available and will be provided upon request. Additionally, there are small requested fee schedule revisions attached in

conjunction with this report. This report has been reviewed with the City Manager.

The following Funds will be impacted:

General Fund 10 = Decrease $102,154

Main St. MSD Fund 20 = Decrease $4,651

7th Avenue MSD Fund 21 = No Increase or Decrease

Water/Sewer Fund 60 = No Increase or Decrease

Stormwater Fund 67 = No Increase or Decrease

Environmental Services Fund 68 = No Increase or Decrease

All of these funds are in balance and all increases are well within the City's capacity to fund.

Described in report.

I move to approve the mid-year budget report and the attached budget amendments.

KRYSTAL POWELL, ACCOUNTANT

Attached is the Mid-Year revenue and expenditure report for the City of Hendersonville.

The report will include two Excel spreadsheets, one for revenues and one for expenditures, along

issues in each fund including major recommended changes with expected outcomes. Minor

changes will be addressed in the Excel documents and will be adjusted within the individual

departments.

Each section is broken out by the following funds:

1. General Fund 10

2. Main Street MSD Fund 20

3. 7

Avenue MSD Fund 21

4. Water/Sewer Fund 60

5. Stormwater Fund 67

6. Environmental Services Fund 68

Agenda

General Fund

Total Budget Decrease = $102,154

Revenues

Ad Val Tax | Account 100010-421700

Property Tax collections for the current year are at 70% collected as of mid-year (through

12/31/17) which is below the historical collections for this revenue source as of this time in the

year. The collections are low because we had issues with our software billing vendor, who was

unable to get the bills sent out on time. They were sent out later than normal and this is the

reason that collections are lower than normal at this point in the year. As of the current date,

01/22/18, collections are at 93%, and are back on track.

Local Sales Tax Revenue | Account 100030-423000

Local sales and use tax collections are down for the year. After two to three years of

unprecedented growth, we are currently experiencing a leveling effect. Collections are currently

down over the prior year. We budgeted an approximate 3% increase for this year over last year.

This amendment lowers this revenue account by $180,000, to about a 1% increase for the year.

ABC Revenues | Account 100030-425000

The ABC Board is a component unit of the City of Hendersonville. Per state statute the ABC

board is required to distribute in quarterly payments 50% of the prior year’s annual net profit to

the City, 25% to Henderson County, 24% to the Board of Education and 1% to the Library. Net

profit is calculated after deducting operating and capital expenditures, required payments for law

enforcement, alcohol education, and minimum set aside and working capital reserves as required

by statute. The net profit for the period ending June 30, 2017, as reported in the Boards audited

financial statements, was $260,000. Therefore the required distribution to the City during fiscal

year 2018 will be $130,000. This is slightly higher than the $107,000 budget. This account will

be increased by $23,000.

DEA Bullet Proof Vest Revenue | 100040-431050

Each year there is the possibility to receive DOJ grant revenue for the purchase of bullet proof

vests. We do not know the status of award prior to the budget being adopted for the fiscal year.

We received $1,990 in grant revenue this year for bullet proof vests. This account line will be

increased to reflect that grant revenue.

Agenda

Powell Bill Revenue | Account 100040-447000

A minor adjustment to Powell Bill revenue, $2,086 increase, to match actual collections.

Parking Meter Revenue | Account 10060-461100

Parking meter revenue is up 2% over collections from last year. The original budget included a

conservative amount, about $7,000 less than last year’s actual collections. Seeing that the

current collections are up, this budget will be increased by $7,000 to match last year’s actual

collections.

Parking Violations | Account 100080-443100

Last year, the City adjusted the manner in which it collects for parking tickets. Under generally

accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the revenue should be accrued when the ticket is

written. When this change occurred, the City accrued for revenues not yet collected from prior

years. This caused the revenues for FY16-17 to be overly inflated. When budgeting this was not

taken into account and the current budget number is too high, reflecting collections from last

year. It is estimated that total collections for FY17-18 will be $72,755. This account will be

decreased by $22,250.

Parking Violations Penalty | Account 100080-443110

An increase of $5,000 to account for increased parking ticket late payment penalties.

Fund Balance Appropriation | Account 100090-499200

An increase of $59,068 to cover the revenue gap left after decreasing sales tax revenues.

Agenda

Expenditures

Governing Body Wages | Accounts 104110-517100 & 518300

Governing Body salary accounts exceed the 50% mark for half a year of pay. This is due to an

increase in pay for members. These accounts will be increased by $4,544.

Admin. Cellphone Stipend | Account 104120-517200

This account has a budget of $300. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Public

Information Officer all receive stipends. Additional funding will be needed for the remainder of

the fiscal year. This account will be increased by $500.

Engineering Salaries | Accounts 104131-512100, 518100, 518200, & 518300

Engineering salary accounts exceed the 50% mark for half a year of pay. These accounts will be

increased by $21,570 to cover salaries through year end FY17-18. Part of this increase is due to

the pay and classification program and was budgeted in contingencies, to be used at mid-year to

alleviate any potential overages.

PW – Fleet Maintenance Salaries | Accounts 104250-512200, 512250, 518100, & 518200

Fleet Maintenance salary accounts exceed the 50% mark for half a year of pay. Additionally,

overtime salaries are over budget due to work on an office remodel after hours. These accounts

will be increased by $13,000 to cover salaries through year end FY17-18. Part of this increase is

due to the pay and classification program and was budgeted in contingencies, to be used at mid-

year to alleviate any potential overages.

PW – Building Maintenance Supplies | Accounts 104270-529900

The Buildings Maintenance supplies budget was used to purchase supplies as a result of a

Community Foundation grant. A revenue account was increased to correspond with this

increase. This account will be increased by $1,127 to cover that expense.

Police Salaries | Accounts 104510-512200, 512400, & 512800

The Police overtime salaries budget will now account for drug enforcement pay and court pay.

The budgets associated with these accounts (512400 & 512800) will be moved into the overtime

account code. The overtime account will be increased by $14,800.

Agenda

Fire Salaries | Accounts 104250-512200 & 513500

The Fire overtime salaries budget is near its capacity and will be increased by $30,000 to ensure

coverage through the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, the retiree insurance account exceeds

the 50% mark for half a year of costs and will be increased by $9,588 to cover the remainder of

the fiscal year.

PW – Street Maintenance Uniforms | Accounts 104510-513500

The Street Maintenance uniform allowance is slightly over budget and will be increased by $202

to cover the remainder of the fiscal year.

PW – Grounds Maintenance salaries | Accounts 104250-512100, 518100, 518200, & 518300

Grounds Maintenance salary accounts exceed the 50% mark for half a year of pay. These

accounts will be increased by $26,046 to cover salaries through year end FY17-18. Part of this

increase is due to the pay and classification program and was budgeted in contingencies, to be

used at mid-year to alleviate any potential overages.

H&W Fund Contribution | Accounts 109619-598880

Claims associated with the General Fund are substantially higher this year in the Health and

Welfare Fund. It is difficult to predict trends in these claims. An increase of $30,000 is

expected to cover the needed budget for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Contingencies | Account 109910-599100

A large portion of funding was set aside in contingency to cover salary overages associated with

the recent pay and classification plan enacted by City Council for FY17-18. These funds will be

decreased to help offset the overages identified above. A total of $50,000 will remain in the

contingencies account through fiscal year end. This account will be decreased by $218,731.

This decrease is also helping to offset revenue decreases from unexpected lower sales tax

collections.

Agenda

Main Street MSD Fund

Total Budget Decrease = $4,651

Revenues

Ad Val Tax | Account 200010-421700

Property Tax collections for the current year are at 74% collected as of mid-year (through

12/31/17) which is below the historical collections for this revenue source as of this time in the

year. The collections are low because we had issues with our software billing vendor, who was

unable to get the bills sent out on time. They were sent out later than normal and this is the

reason that collections are lower than normal at this point in the year. As of the current date,

01/22/18, collections are at 96%, and are back on track.

Local Sales Tax Revenue | Account 200030-423000

Local sales and use tax collections are down for the year. After two to three years of

unprecedented growth, we are currently experiencing a leveling effect. Collections are currently

down over the prior year. We budgeted an approximate 3% increase for this year over last year.

This amendment lowers this revenue account by $7,550, to about a 1% increase for the year.

Insurance Settlements | Account 200090-444000

An increase in revenue due to an insurance claim totaling $200.

Bearfootin’ Bear Sales | Account 204755-443215

An increase in revenue due to increased bear sales for the Bearfootin’ event. The total budget

will be increased by $2,699.

Expenditures

Supplies & Materials | Account 529900

An increase in the supplies and materials budget to reflect insurance proceeds and additional

funding made available due to a decrease in the Bearfootin’ budget.

Agenda

Contribution of % Bear Sales | Account 204755-561700

This budget was set too high after the sale of the bears. This decrease lowers the budget to

match what was actually contributed to the non-profits.

Agenda

Avenue MSD Fund

No Increase or Decrease

Revenues

Ad Val Tax | Account 210010-421700

Property Tax collections for the current year are at 80% collected as of mid-year (through

year. The collections are low because we had issues with our software billing vendor, who was

unable to get the bills sent out on time. They were sent out later than normal and this is the

reason that collections are lower than normal at this point in the year. As of the current date,

01/22/18, collections are at 97%, and are back on track.

Expenditures

Good – No major changes needed.

Agenda

Water & Sewer Fund

No Increase or Decrease

Revenues

Etowah Sewer Charges | Account 600013-451350

Budgeted revenues from Etowah Sewer Charges were set too high for FY2018. $190,000

revenue was budgeted; mid-year actual for this account is $13,875.12 (7% of budgeted total) as

of 12/31/2017. This amount is lower than the mid-year actual for the same account as of

12/31/2016. The proposed budget amendment will disperse this difference across alternative

Water and Sewer Fund revenue accounts.

Water Tap Fees | Account 600050-452100

Water Tap Fees at mid-year have exceeded revenue projections by approximately 26%. The

total budgeted revenue for this account was $225,000.00. The mid-year actual, as of 12/31/2018

for this account is $171,377.00. This amount also exceeds the mid-year actual from FY2016 by

$35,192. This revenue surplus is due to an increased number of accounts opened so far this

fiscal year.

Reconnect Service Charge | Account 600050-452300

These revenues have come in approximately 18% higher than the projected mid-year level. The

original budget for these charges was $55,000, with $37,564.03 collected as of 21/31/2017.

Collected revenues in this account also exceed the revenues collected at mid-year FY16-17

(12/31/16) by $12,207.38. This increased revenue at 12/31/17 is due to higher volume of water

customer reconnections.

Sewer Tap Fees | Account 600055-453100

Sewer Tap Fee revenues have exceeded the total budget for FY17-18. $35,000 was originally

budgeted for the entire fiscal year; however, $35,600 (102% of the annual budgeted amount) has

been collected thus far. Revenues for this account vary with sewer system demand inside city

limits. This year, demand for sewer taps has been higher than projected.

Agenda

Customer Participation | Account 600080-434750

Customers provide a portion of the cost for relocating and replacing damaged pipes. There was

originally a budget of $0 in this account for FY18. At mid-year FY18; however, the City has

received $1,434.67 in this account. This amount is lower than mid-year FY17, but still higher

than forecasted in general.

Sale of Fixed Assets- W&S | Account 600080-443660

This account is for revenues collected from City sale of fixed assets. There was originally $0

budgeted for this account for the current fiscal year. At mid-year FY18; however, $4,628.40 of

un-budgeted revenue has been collected.

Discounts Earned | Account 600080-443800

Discounts Earned tracks rebates from P-Card purchases. The total original budget was $5,000.

As of 12/31/17, the account has a balance of $8,620.13- a $3,620.13 surplus and 172% of the

original budget.

Miscellaneous Income | Account 600080-443900

Miscellaneous Income is at $5,548.15 as of mid-year FY18. $5,000 was originally budgeted for

this account, meaning 111% of revenue has been collected as of 12/31/17. This is higher than

mid-year 12/31/16 by approximately $1,998.

Fund Balance Appropriation | Account 600090-499200

The original Fund Balance Appropriation for FY18 was $6,301,121. Resulting from the

decrease in Etowah Sewer Charges revenues the Fund Balance Appropriation will need to be

increased by $122,500.

Agenda

Expenditures

Salary and Wages | Accounts 604250-512200, & 607123, 607126, 607127, & 607136-513500

Expenditure increases in the Water and Sewer fund cover overages in salary accounts. Below is

a list of salary accounts and their proposed increases to adjust for overages.

604250-512200, Water & Sewer Fleet, Salaries and Wages- Overtime is over the originally

appropriated annual expense of $3,649 by $1,927.87.

Accounts with object code 513500 are for Uniforms in various Water and Sewer Divisions.

These accounts are over budget and will need to be adjusted to remain balanced.

Expenditure overages are proposed to be corrected using funds from the 607136-535250 (Sewer

Collections, R&M Lines) account- with a balance of $99,013.95. This account has only

expended 1% of its annual budget this far.

Revenues

Miscellaneous Income | Account 680080-443900

Miscellaneous Income in the Environmental Service Fund has an original budget for FY18 of $0.

As of mid-year FY18 (12/31/17), this account has received $2,129.09 in revenue. The proposed

amendment will increase the revenue to align the budgeted amount with the collected amount.

Increased revenues in this account will be used in different expenditure accounts for the

Environmental Services Fund.

Salaries & Wages- Overtime | Account 684250-512200

Overtime pay expended in this account has exceeded the budgeted amount of $1,000 by $115.33

(112%). Additional misc. income from the Environmental Service Fund will be used to cover

the increased overtime expenditure.

Bank Service Charges | Account 684710-575200

Bank Service Charges are over budget at mid-year by $390.61. The proposed amendment will

balance this account.

Telephone | Account 684710-532100

Telephone accounts in many of the City’s funds are slightly over 50% at mid-year. This account

is no special case and will be adjusted to account for the slight overage via the proposed

amendment.

R&M Auto/Trucks | Account 684710-535300

This account is slightly over at mid-year and may need additional funds resulting from a higher

misc. income revenue source to pay for any unforeseen vehicle repairs needed the remainder of

FY18.

In February 2017, the City Council closed Market Street in order to facilitate the construction of the new Publix

Supermarket. Upon the closing of the street an area of 303 square feet, which was formerly right of way, reverted back to

the City of Hendersonville. This small area is located within the proposed Publix Development. In 2016, Halvorsen

Development Corporation offered to purchase this area for $5,000, but due to the delay in the street closing, the offer and

subsequent City Council action was never completed. Therefore, we are now placing this item on your agenda for action.

City staff is requesting that the City Council declare the 303 square feet of property surplus and receive Halvorsen

Development Corporation's $5,000 offer and authorize staff to advertise for upset bids. The City Council reserves the

right to accept or reject any and all bids. Final action on any bids will occur at your March 1, 2018 City Council meeting.

The City received notification from the manufacturer of " Jake Brake" compression truck brakes that the term Jake is a

Therefore, we are proposing to remove any reference to "Jake Brake" from Section 50-119 of the City Code.

N/A

I move that the City Council amend Section 50-119 of the Hendersonville City Code of Ordinances to eliminate any

Ordinance #18-____

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE SECTION 50-119 PERTAINING TO THE USE

OF COMPRESSION BRAKES

WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is unnecessary to the clarity of the

term "compressions brakes" to refer to them by any other name,

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Hendersonville:

SECTION 1. Sec. 50-119 of the Hendersonville Code of Ordinances is hereby

amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The burden in each case shall be upon the vehicle operator to establish

the existence of the emergency.

2. This prohibition does not apply to the operation of vehicles that are

owned or leased by governmental entities and which are being operated

within the scope and purpose of a governmental use.

SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this ordinance is for any

reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid,

such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this

ordinance.

SECTION 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect

from and after the date of its adoption.

Adopted this sixth day of February 2018.

Barbara Volk

Mayor

City Hall

145 Fifth Avenue East

Hendersonville, NC 28792-4328

Dear Mayor Volk,

I am writing on behalf of Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Inc. (“Jacobs”). Jacobs has been made

aware that the City of Hendersonville has enacted a noise ordinance (No. 12-0411, § 1, 4-5-12)

specifically naming JAKE BRAKE

. Jacobs has been manufacturing vehicle retarding systems

and related components for the truck market for fifty six (56) plus years under its JAKE

BRAKE

trademark. “Jake Brake

” is a brand name of vehicle retarders. It is not a generic term

referring generally to truck engine brakes. Engine brakes are produced by a number of other

companies other than Jacobs; including PacBrake

of Canada and TecBrake

of Mexico among

others. The “Jake Brake

” engine brake is simply the most widely recognized brand in the

industry.

The JAKE BRAKE

mark is well known in the industry and is federally registered for

the goods and services listed in federal trademark Registration Nos. 2,864,614, 3,589,709,

3,635,162 and 3,663,312, copies of which we can provide. Any use of the name JAKE BRAKE

“in either the language of the ordinance or on any signs to be posted is strickly prohibited. This

improper use of the “Jake Brake

” brand, threatens to seriously damage Jacobs and infringes

Jacobs’ sole rights to this valuable mark. Moreover, this usage may significantly weaken the

mark, which could result in the diminution or “dilution” of its value and possibly loss of all

Jacobs’ rights in the mark.

In the past, Jacobs has moved swiftly to enjoin infringement and other misuse of the

“Jake Brake

” and related marks. Should the “Jake Brake

” mark become generic through such

misuse, it would lead to substantial liability. In addition, should your locality continue to post

signs with our trademark; it could potentially violate other U.S. Federal laws and regulations,

including transportation regulations and federal trademark laws.

While we understand many of the members of the public find loud engine brake noise to

be undesirable we note that properly muffled engines should not produce an overly loud or

undesirable sound. Jacobs requests that you not use our trademark in your noise reduction

The Hendersonville Fire Department recently replaced a fire engine and would like to donate the decommissioned engine

along with obsolete equipment to the Henderson County Public Schools System and the Fire Academy Program located

at Blue Ridge Community College. The Henderson County Fire Program would utilize the fire engine during instruction of

numerous firefighter certification courses offered at the school. The fire engine to be donated is out of-service and would

have normally been placed for auction. The value of this vehicle is approximately $10,000-$15,000 according to research.

N/A

I move Council to approve the resolution authorizing the donation of surplus property to Henderson County Public

Schools and the Fire Academy pursuant to NCGS 160A-280 entitled "Donations of Personal Property to other

Council Action

05h

In September 2007, the City Council approved the satellite annexation of 7.34 +/- acres of property between Erkwood

Drive and Gridley Road. The annexation petition was submitted as part of the proposed Magnolia Creek Development

and the need for sewer service. Following the annexation of the property, the developers chose not to move forward with

the development and Magnolia Creek was never constructed. The annexed property is now owned by Charles and Susan

Albers (6.17 acres +/- )and Charles and Christina Barrett (1.03 acres +/-). Mr. and Mrs. Albers' property is currently vacant

and Mr. and Mrs.Barrett's property only includes their single family residence. Neither property is connected to sewer

service or receives any city services other than fire and police protection. Mr. Barrett has refused to accept solid waste

collection services and both parties have requested to be de-annexed from the City of Hendersonville. Therefore, City

staff has developed a proposed resolution asking our N.C. legislative delegation to introduce legislation to de-annex the

Albers and Barrett's property.

This proposal is being brought forward for the following reasons:

1. This is a satellite annexation

2. Neither property has connected to sewer service

3. Neither property utilizes solid waste collection services

4. Erkwood and Gridely Road are NCDOT streets

5. Law Enforcement and Fire Protection can be easily provided by County agencies.

6. Both parties will have to petition for annexation if sewer service is required.

(1,615.39)

N/A

I move that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution asking our local legislative delegation to introduce a local bill to

de-annex the property as more fully described in the resolution.

N Main Street Sidewalk Project Award:

On December 6, 2017, formal bids were received for the North Main Street Sidewalk Project from three (3) bidders with

the following results.

Trace and Company - $1,407,198.45

Buchanan and Sons Inc - $1,621,037.36

Cooper Construction Company - $2,092,512.44

City staff has reviewed each bid for completeness and accuracy. All of the bids including the lowest responsive,

responsible bid were over the estimated budgeted cost of the project. Per NCGS 143-129, the City can enter into

negotiations with the lowest responsible bidder and make reasonable changes in the plans and specifications to bring the

contract price within the the funds available. The Engineering Department and low bidder, Trace and Company, have

been working to adjust the plans and specifications in order to reduce the total project cost. The negotiations have led to a

bid price reduction of $152,000.00. City staff hereby recommends the award of said project to Trace and Company, the

lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the revised project cost in the amount of $1,254,669.15. The engineer’s

estimate as well as a bid tabulation and bid negotiation showing all the bids and unit prices is attached for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

1,254,669.15

Yes

See associated budget adjustments

I move to authorize the City Manager to award and execute the contract for the construction of the North Main Street

Sidewalk Project to Trace and Company, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $1,254,669.15;

as presented and recommended by staff.

For the October thru December quarter, the Service Excellence Design Team selected those listed below as the quarterly winners.

On Saturday December 2, Michael Fife, Treatment Plant Operator 3, was in the process of doing his morning inspections of the

Wastewater facility when he saw a dog struggling to survive in the aeration basin. Despite being the only person on weekend duty, he

was able to get the dog out, clean it off and brought it inside to warm up. Michael’s quick reaction and keen eye saved this dog’s life.

A Hispanic gentleman, speaking little English, came into City Hall to inquire about obtaining a taxi permit. Instead of handing him a

bunch of forms and legal documents written in English, Tammie Drake obtained a translator through our language line and helped

explain the taxi operator license requirements to the gentleman. She also utilized Google translation to translate the English

documents into Spanish. Such valuing of everyone is commendable.

In response to the structure fire at 414 6th Avenue West, Sergeant Bruce Darrah, Officers Zeffrey Childress and Michele Hoyle

immediately entered the smoke-filled structure and began evacuating the sleeping residents. These responding officers did so

without hesitation or instruction in a selfless act of bravery. Over 16 residents were evacuated without injury. This is a prime example

of commitment, professionalism and outstanding performance.

In 2017, 138 MVP nominations were submitted and each quarter three were chosen as Quarterly MVPs. From these, the Service

Excellence Design Team selected Kemper Henderson as the MVP of the Year. Kemper is a Property Maintenance Worker for the

Public Works Department and in 2017 received three MVP nominations. One was recognized as a Quarterly MVP.

At the end of his shift, Kemper was driving with two seasonal employees to City Operations when he witnessed a pedestrian being

stuck by the mirror of a mail truck. The man was lying on North Main Street bleeding from the head. Reacting quickly, Kemper called

911 and began giving first aid to stop the bleeding. The other city workers directed traffic. Once EMS arrived, Kemper and the guys

continue to handle traffic far after their shift ended.

The Design Team felt Kemper's actions were far beyond the normal duties of his job.

Kemper will receive $500 and his name will be added to the MVP of the Year plaque.

RE: The Cottages at Cypress Run

FILE #: P17-46-SUR

DATE: February 6, 2018

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City is in receipt of a Special Use Permit application from RDV Development, LLC

for the development of 67 single-family homes on approximately 16.6 acres. The project

is located on Howard Gap Road, on parcel # 9670-43-2161. The parcel is currently zoned

by Henderson County as Residential District One (R1).

The applicant is requesting to rezone the development area from Henderson County R1

to PRD Planned Residential Development.

This application is for special use review. The preliminary site plan is subject to

recommendation by the Planning Board and approval by City Council. The final site plan

is subject to City staff approval.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT

Since this application was received on November 20, 2017, prior to the removal of

Special Use Permits from the Zoning Ordinance, it is being processed under the

Ordinance as adopted at that time.

EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING

Parcel # 9670-43-2161 is currently zoned Henderson County R1 and is used for

agriculture. Parcels to the north, east, and west are also zoned Henderson County R1.

Parcels to the south are zoned R-15 Medium Density Residential, and C-2 Secondary

Business. Surrounding land uses and zoning districts are shown on the “Existing Land

Use Map” and “Zoning Map” on page 12 and 13 respectively.

COMPREHSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY

The subject parcel is not within the planning jurisdiction of the City of Hendersonville, and

this the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map does not directly reference its use.

The subject parcel, as well as parcels to the north, east, and west are classified as Urban

Services Area by Henderson County on the 2020 County Comprehensive Future Land

Use Map. The Henderson County Urban Services Area classification is defined as “the

area within which most urban services and urban scale development is currently

concentrated, and within which such development should generally be concentrated.

Growth and development will be proactively managed through extensive planning. Much

of the Urban Services Area falls within municipal planning jurisdictions and will be

managed by those jurisdictions.”

The parcels located to the south are classified as Medium Intensity Neighborhood on the

2030 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The goal of the Medium Intensity

Neighborhood classification is to “Provide a transition between High-and Low-Intensity

Neighborhood areas while providing a wide range of housing formats and price points.

Promote walkable neighborhood design and compatible infill development in new

neighborhoods and as a means of preserving and enhancing existing neighborhoods.”

The area of Clear Creek to the south is classified as Natural Resource/Agricultural on the

2030 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The Natural Resource/Agricultural

future land use category is to create an interconnected network of green infrastructure

that preserves environmentally sensitive area, protects water resource through low-

impact stormwater management, provides floodwater storage, provides community open

space and recreational opportunities, and preserves agricultural resources.

The 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map is located on page 14.

PLAN REVIEW

Buildings

The site plan includes 67 single-family lots ranging from 5,500 ft2 to 8,000 ft2 on average.

The applicant has indicated that the homes will be about 1480 ft2 to 1820 ft2. The site

plan is included with this memorandum.

Parking

The required parking is two spaces per home. The applicant will be meeting this

requirement by providing a single-car garage and driveway per home.

Buffer Plantings

As per section 15-6 Bufferyards, no buffer is required between this parcel and adjacent

parcels because the proposed use is residential. The applicant has shown street trees

along the proposed road.

Stormwater

The applicant will be providing stormwater management plans to the Engineering

Department as part of the final site plan submittal requirements. Proposed location of

stormwater facilities is on the southern boundary of the development.

Parcel Recombination & Annexation

The lot has been created and recorded with the Register of Deeds. The applicant has

made application for annexation for sewer service.

Sidewalks

Section 6-12-1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks along the property line fronting

Howard Gap Road, as well as along the proposed internal street.

Traffic Impact Analysis

The applicant provided estimated trip counts which did not meet the threshold to require

a traffic impact analysis. The applicant will be required to get approval from NCDOT for

the entrance on Howard Gap Road.

Density

The proposed density for this project is approximately 4 units per acre.

The Zoning Ordinance states, in pertinent part: “The density for a planned residential

development shall be established by City Council in consideration of the Comprehensive

Plan, surrounding land uses and the existence of adequate private and public facilities…

the density authorized for the district shall not exceed ten units per acre.”

Development in the Flood Hazard Area

The project includes development within the 100-year floodplain. The portion of the

property that is within the floodway is not a part of the project and is proposed to remain

an agricultural use.

The developer must meet the requirements of Section 17-2-4 for redevelopment within a

special flood hazard area. This includes the requirement that there shall be no loss of

flood storage capacity on the site as a result of the redevelopment. The developer has

proposed to elevate the structures within the 100-year floodplain two feet above the base

flood elevation and install the required flood vents.

ANALYSIS

Section 7-4-10.1 of the Zoning Ordinance states, “no special use permit shall be approved

by City Council unless each of the following findings is made.”

(A) The use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as

to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare.

Staff has not identified any issues relating to public health, safety or general

welfare.

(B) There are, or will be at the time they are required, adequate public facilities to serve

the use or development as specified in Section 7-11.

7-4-14, and with all other applicable regulations.

No variances are requested.

(D) The use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as

to be compatible with the particular neighborhood in which it is to be located.

A neighborhood compatibility meeting concerning the application was held

on December 7, 2017. Notice was provided by U.S. mail to the owners of

record of all property situated within 400 feet of the subject property as

required by Section 7-4-4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Nine people representing the general public attended the meeting. The

public raised concerns about flooding and new development in the flood

hazard area, traffic, and the impact of the nearby quarry on future residents.

A copy of the neighborhood compatibility report accompanies this

memorandum.

(E) The use or development conforms to the general plans for the physical

development of the City as embodied in this Ordinance and in the Comprehensive

Plan and the Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

The proposed development meets all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

Henderson County’s Urban Services Area classification is defined as “the

area within which most urban services and urban scale development is

currently concentrated, and within which such development should

generally be concentrated. Growth and development will be proactively

managed through extensive planning. Much of the Urban Services Area falls

within municipal planning jurisdictions and will be managed by those

jurisdictions.”

The City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan does not address this area, and the

designation in Henderson County’s Comprehensive Plan represents the

highest intensity of residential development recommended. Therefore the

proposed development conforms with the Comprehensive Plan.

Mr. Heyman opened the meeting explaining this is the first step in a three step process. The first

step is Neighborhood Compatibility Meeting, next is the Planning Board and last it goes to City

Council. This is an informal meeting to ask questions and get answers. Minutes of this meeting

will be forwarded to Planning Board and City Council.

Mike Anderson introduced himself as an engineer working on plans for the development. He

described the development as 67 single family homes on about 16.5 acres. This parcel is part of a

larger 30 acre tract. Only the 16 acres will be annexed for the project. The remainder of the

parcel will continue to be used for agriculture.

They are proposing PRD zoning with 21% of the site being common open space. Density is

about 4 units per acre. Lots range from 5500-7000 sq. ft. on average.

The road is proposed as a public city street and will be constructed to city standards. The price

point is not part of the application to the City for rezoning and annexation, but is something

people are interested in – about $275,000 and up. The homes will be about 1480-1820 sq. ft. in

size. They will have attached garages.

Mr. Anderson stated they have met with Henderson County, DOT, and many departments within

the City up to this point to get input from everyone about the project. Today is a chance for them

to get feedback from the neighborhood.

There was a question about notice. A neighbor claimed he did not get a letter but thinks he lives

within a 400 ft. radius of the property. Mr. Heyman explained that letters go to all property

owners of record within 400 ft. of the proposed development, and that this meeting is noticed on

the City’s website. There is also a sign placed on the property with details.

A neighbor made the comment that the sign is not big enough. Mr. Heyman explained that they

Agenda

CITY COUNCIL

THE COTTAGES AT CYPRESS RUN

FEBRUARY 6, 2018

PAGE 10

expect people who see the sign to have additional questions and anyone can call for more

information about the signs, but that the DAD will look into increasing the size.

A neighbor asked where the city limits were. Mike Anderson pointed out that the nearest city

limit line is at about Nix Rd. The ETJ comes up to the creek.

An attendee asked why this project isn’t going through county approval. Mike Anderson

explained they are having to annex to get city sewer service.

A neighbor commented that Clear Creek tends to flood. What will the developer do to reduce the

impact on that? Mr. Anderson pointed out the floodway lines on the plan. He said they will

elevate the homes so no flood insurance will be required. He explained the City’s stormwater

requirements and the quality and quantity controls necessary. Mr. Anderson commented that the

City of Hendersonville is more strict than most places he has worked.

Mr. Anderson stated that they are required to treat the “first flush” and impound water, then

throttle it so that is flows into the creek at a normal rate. They have to mimic the flow of

stormwater that exists on the property now.

A neighbor provided a picture of flooding from last year.

Mr. Anderson stated that the floodway is the critical area where they cannot develop.

A neighbor asked how development would not make flooding worse? Also, made a comment

about the 100 yr floodplain.

Mr. Anderson clarified that the 100 yr floodplain means there is a 1% chance of that magnitude

of flood happening each year. FEMA designed the models so that you could encroach into that

area without affecting the flood height.

Mr. Anderson and Susan Frady explained the CLOMR-F process that Mr. Anderson says they

intend to follow to remove the property from the floodplain. Mr. Anderson said throughout that

process they have to show that they will not have negative impacts on the base flood anywhere,

on or off the parcel.

A neighbor asked that if they elevate the property, wouldn’t that increase the amount of flooding

elsewhere? Mr. Anderson stated no, they cannot increase the level or velocity of the flood.

A neighbor said that the City’s floodmaps are 10 years old, and that there are floods every year

that cover the whole area.

Another neighbor made comments about flooding blocking Howard Gap Rd. at times. He also

said he has to push his garbage across the street for collection. He asked how this project would

impact traffic.

Agenda

CITY COUNCIL

THE COTTAGES AT CYPRESS RUN

FEBRUARY 6, 2018

PAGE 11

Mr. Anderson explained the process for estimating the number of trips generated by the

development and stated that the impact is negligible for the capacity of the road. DOT has

confirmed that.

An attendee asked what the building foundations are made out of.

Mr. Anderson stated that some will be crawlspace, some slab on grade. Water will be collected

from the roofs of the structures.

A neighbor commented that he has to wait 2-3 minutes to make a left on Howard Gap Rd. now,

if people are going to I-26 for work, they will be stuck. He says when it does flood, everyone

there is affected by the traffic, so this project will not be a negligible increase.

Mr. Anderson stated that he meant the capacity of the road could handle the traffic, not that it

wouldn’t affect their daily routines.

A neighbor asked if Howard Gap Rd. was the only access. Mike Anderson confirmed that it was.

An attendee asked if they would be using the field or the sloped part of the property. Mr.

Anderson said they will be using mainly the sloped area. They will have engineers confirm that

everything is stable.

A neighbor asked if they were aware of the nearby quarry, and made comments about that

disrupting the future homeowners. Also asked about the noise ordinance.

Susan Frady explained that the city would not city the quarry for a violation of the noise

ordinance because it is not in the city.

A question was asked about who provides services. Mr. Anderson stated the City would provide

police, fire, water, sewer, garbage, etc. if annexed.

A question was asked about a gate on a public street. Mr. Heyman stated that they are still

working out those details but that public access would not be blocked to a city street.

A question was asked about current county zoning. It was confirmed that the existing zoning

allowed for greater density that is being requested now.

An attendee asked about clear cutting. Mr. Anderson stated that yes, they would be removing

significant trees for the project.

With no further comments or questions, Mr. Heyman closed the meeting at 3:10 p.m.

PPEAL OF DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS

Section 7-13 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the process for appeal of development

decisions by City Council. The following Sections of the Zoning Ordinance apply

specifically to Special Use Review:

Section 7-13-2 (b): Preliminary site plans. Decisions of the City Council regarding

appeals from development decisions concerning applications for preliminary site plan

approval may be appealed to the Superior Court by any aggrieved party. Such

appeals shall be in the nature of certiorari and must be filed within 30 days after the

filing of the decision in the office of the City Clerk or after a written copy thereof is

delivered to every aggrieved party who has filed a written request for such copy with

the Clerk at the time of the hearing, whichever is later. The copy of the decision of the

Council may be delivered to aggrieved parties either by personal service for by

registered mail or certified mail return receipt requested.

Section 7-13-2 (d): Special use review. Judicial review of decisions regarding

applications processed under the provisions of special use review, established in

Section 7-4, above, require special treatment due to the fact that they involve two

separate applications which, though processed simultaneously, require Council to

make two separate decisions exercising two different types of decision-making

authority. One application requests enactment of an ordinance amending the Official

Zoning Map, and the other requests issuance of a special use permit. The first

application involves a legislative decision on the part of Council, and the second a

quasi-judicial decision. The quasi-judicial decision, that is, the one concerning the

application for a special use permit, may be appealed to the Superior Court by any

aggrieved party in the manner prescribed in paragraph b), above. Such appeal shall

be in the nature of certiorari. The legislative decision, which is the one concerning the

request for rezoning, may be contested, in accordance with NCGS Section 160A-

364.1, by a cause of action commenced within two months of the date of the decision.

The validity of the ordinance may be challenged in accordance with North Carolina

General Statute Section 160A-364.1.

§ 160A-364.1. Statute of limitations.

A cause of action as to the validity of any zoning ordinance, or amendment thereto,

adopted under this Article or other applicable law shall accrue upon adoption of the

ordinance, or amendment thereto, and shall be brought within two months

Mill Building sale amendment.

This item is an amendment to the December resolution agreeing to the sale of the Mill Building property to Belmont-Sayre

LLC. Upon further discussion with Belmont-Sayre it became apparent that the value of the single Mill property was less

than originally thought without the parking spaces afforded by the additional outlying properties owned by the City.

Because it was important for the completion of the project that the Mill Building site be owned by the developer (now Grey

Mill Ventures, LLC) before the end of 2017, the city manager agreed with the developer, pending ratification and approval

by the City Council, to include the additional outlying properties in the $1,000,000.00 purchase price.

The attached proposed resolution ratifies the December contract and approves a change in the sale so that all City-owned

parcels within the Mill Building block will be included in the same purchase price.

N/A

I move the City Council to approve the resolution amending the December contract for sale of the Mill Building to include

the City's adjoining properties in the original purchase price.

A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE TERMS OF THE SALE OF CERTAIN CITY-OWNED

REAL PROPERTY BY AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL CITY-

OWNED REAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO N.C.G.S. § 158-7.1(d)

WHEREAS the City of Hendersonville did at its regular meeting on 7 December, 2017 authorize

the sale to Belmont Sayre, LLC or its assigns of that real property identified as PIN 9568-88-

7974, sometimes called the “Mill Building” in this resolution, and

WHEREAS the City subsequently and before the sale so authorized entered into an agreement

to include in the sale price certain additional properties adjoining the Mill Building, and

WHEREAS it appears to the City Council that the adjoining real properties, identified by the

following PINs should have been included as part of the original sale: 9568-88-9495, 9568-98-

0317, 9568-88-7505, 9568-88-7545, 9568-88-7586, and 9568-88-8544, which real properties

are identified collectively as the “Mill Additional Properties” in this resolution, and

WHEREAS it appears to the City Council that the value of the Mill Building property is

substantially less than originally thought without the addition of the Mill Additional Properties for

parking purposes, and

WHEREAS the City has determined that it is desirable for the City to sell the Mill Additional

Properties under certain terms and conditions that benefit the City as described herein; and

WHEREAS the City has conducted certain private negotiations respecting the sale of the Mill

Additional Properties as provided in N.C.G.S. § 158-7.1(d), sometimes called “the Statute” in

this resolution; and

WHEREAS the City desires to subject the property to such covenants, conditions, and

iHENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Promoting and encouraging multimodal travel has become a major priority for the City of Hendersonville and

for communities across the region, the state, and the country. The Hendersonville 2030 Comprehensive Plan

recommended the creation of a comprehensive bicycle plan, building on the success the City has had in implementing

the infrastructure recommendations from its 2007 Pedestrian Plan. Recognizing that bicycling—both as a form

of transportation and as a recreational activity—can beneﬁt the community’s mobility, safety, health, economy,

environment, and livability, the City of Hendersonville applied for a grant through North Carolina Department of

Transportation Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation’s (NCDOT-DBPT) Planning Grant Initiative. The

planning grant, along with a 10% match from the City and a 20% match from the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, funded the

creation of this Bicycle Plan.

The development of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan was spearheaded by a project team consisting of planners,

engineers, bicycling advocates, citizens, and City staff. A 17-person steering committee met four times over the course

of the Plan’s development, setting and reﬁning the Plan’s direction to reﬂect the needs and desires of the community.

Public input was a critical piece of the planning process, and public engagement strategies included four open houses,

an online survey, and a public hearing. Ultimately, the overarching and aspirational vision of the Hendersonville Bicycle

Plan is that:

The Hendersonville Bicycle Plan consists of ﬁve major elements, followed by an Appendix. The Bicycle Plan begins

with an introduction of Hendersonville and the impetus behind the creation of the Plan, followed by a detailed look

at the demographic, operational, and administrative characteristics of Hendersonville. The Public Input chapter

presents a synthesis of the input contributed by those who participated in the Plan’s public engagement activities.

The Recommendations chapter details the facility, policy, and program recommendations to accomplish the Bicycle

Plan’s vision, and the Implementation chapter provides a framework that describes a timeline of strategies and

highlights the parties who will be responsible for implementing those strategies. Summaries of each chapter are

shown on the next page.

The City of Hendersonville will have a bikeway system that

is connected, safe, and comfortable for riders of all ages and

abilities, supported by efforts that encourage and educate

everyone who drives, bikes, and walks.

Agenda

ii HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

INTRODUCTION

The Introduction chapter of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan presents the timeline of the planning process, starting

with NCDOT-DBPT awarding the planning grant to the City of Hendersonville and ending with adoption of the Plan by

Hendersonville City Council. This chapter also introduces the Bicycle Plan’s vision statement and four supporting goals,

and describes how the vision of a more bicycle friendly Hendersonville would beneﬁt residents, business owners, and

visitors alike.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

The Current Conditions chapter deﬁnes the starting point for the Bicycle Plan. The chapter begins with an explanation

of the Bicycle Plan’s philosophy, encapsulated by what has traditionally been called the “Five Es,” now joined by a

sixth E: equity. Several maps depict where underserved populations live in Hendersonville, followed by a discussion

of how residents get to work and the identiﬁcation of non-work destinations. The chapter then transitions to an

exploration of Hendersonville’s transportation network in both driving and bicycling contexts. The chapter concludes

with a recognition of existing policies and programs impacting bicycling in Hendersonville today and an inventory of

previous planning efforts that set the stage for the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan.

PUBLIC INPUT

The Public Input chapter describes the Bicycle Plan’s public engagement process and highlights some key ﬁndings.

The Plan’s public engagement included four meetings with the steering committee, an online survey consisting of

a questionnaire and map exercise, four open house meetings that emphasized issues identiﬁcation and project

prioritization, and a public hearing.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Recommendations chapter comprises three sections: an overview of the bicycle facility planning process, project

proﬁles for the top ﬁve priority projects, and a compilation of program and policy recommendations. The project

proﬁles include information about each project’s purpose as well as implementation considerations, planning-level

cost estimates, typical cross-sections, and conceptual images. The program and policy recommendations consist of

encouragement, educational, and administrative improvements to enhance the City’s bicycle friendliness.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Implementation chapter deﬁnes actionable steps for the City of Hendersonville and its partners in the short-,

mid-, and long-term to accomplish the Bicycle Plan’s vision. This action plan is supported by an organizational

framework that indicates how the City’s partners will be involved; information regarding local, state, federal, and

private funding sources; suggestions for ways to measure the performance of the Bicycle Plan or its individual facility

recommendations; and a listing of guidance documents for the planning and design of bicycle facilities.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

The Hendersonville Bicycle Plan sets the stage for improving bicycling mobility and encouraging bicycling in the City

of Hendersonville. Hendersonville’s continued growth will lead to increased demand on the transportation system.

Encouraging bicycling through the construction of bicycle facilities, implementation of local policies, and creation of

educational programs can play a part in creating a transportation system that is balanced, integrated, and connected.

The development of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan was funded by a grant awarded by the North Carolina Department

of Transportation Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (NCDOT-DBPT) through its Planning Grant Initiative

and a local match provided by the City of Hendersonville and the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club. Through the planning Grant

Initiative, NCDOT-DBPT encourages the development of bicycle and pedestrian plans at the municipal and county level

by offering planning grants, totaling $4.6 million across 186 municipalities and two counties since 2004.

TIMELINE

The development of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan included several opportunities for public input, a ﬁeld review, and

four meetings with the Plan’s steering committee. The steering committee was made up of government staff, local

advocates, educators, and health representatives, and guided the planning process to produce facility, program, and

policy recommendations for the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan.

2 HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The Hendersonville Bicycle Plan steering committee and the project team created a vision statement that succinctly

ommunicates the desired future for bicycling in Hendersonville.

This vision statement served as a guide for the development of the Bicycle Plan’s recommendations, supported by the

following goals:

y Enhance transportation mobilit

y for everyone including children and elderly

y Normalize bicycling as a v

iable mode of transportation

y Strengthen connections bet

ween neighborhoods, schools, parks, and downtown

y Improve travel safety, personal health, and quality of life

BENEFITS OF BICYCLING

Bicycling for transportation and recreation can beneﬁt the City of Hendersonville’s mobility, safety, health, economy,

environment, and livability. These beneﬁts are described in the following table.

ABLE 1: BENEFITS OF BICYCLING

CATEGORY DEFINITION POTENTIAL BENEFITS

Mobility

Mobility is the equitable

availability of transportation

options for everyone.

Only 0.1% of Hendersonville’s working population bikes to

work.

Bicycling can be an attractive travel mode for short trips

that would otherwise be made by driving. Bicycling can also

be an option for individuals without access to motor vehicles,

which in Hendersonville comprises 16% of all households

(signiﬁcantly higher than the statewide average of 7%).

Safety

Safe travel conditions result from

effective design, enforcement,

and education.

The presence of bike infrastructure and people on bicycles

naturally calms trafﬁc, and fully separated facilities can provide

safe and comfortable travel ways. Recent bicycle crashes in

Hendersonville underscore the safety concerns voiced by many

members of the public during the public engagement process

for the Plan.

Health

Health includes the mental

state and physical condition

of individuals and collective

communities.

Almost a third of people who ride bicycles do so for exercise

and ﬁtness.

Bicycling is a low-impact form of exercise that

can reduce stress and diseases such as high blood pressure,

diabetes, and obesity. 28% of Hendersonville’s population is

elderly, which is twice the statewide average of 14%.

These

demographics contribute to the priority that the Plan places on

the provision of safe bicycling conditions for people of all ages

and abilities.

The City of Hendersonville will have a bikeway system that is

connected, safe, and comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities,

supported by efforts that encourage and educate everyone who

drives, bikes, and walks.

Agenda

3HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

CATEGORY DEFINITION POTENTIAL BENEFITS

Economy

Strong economies are supported

by job growth, increased sales

revenue, and land development.

Improving bikeability can be a boon to homeowners and

business owners, as bicycle investments can increase property

values and retail sales, increase tourism, and lead to the

creation of new jobs.

Bicycle tourism is already popular in

western North Carolina due to the region's beautiful landscape,

attractive destinations, and challenging terrain. Improving

Hendersonville speciﬁcally as a destination for bicyclists could

increase the sales revenue of local businesses.

Environment

Environmental stewardship holds

the community accountable to

protect natural resources.

More people on bikes can result in lower levels of motor vehicle

emissions, cleaner air, and stronger preservation of streams

and open spaces. As Hendersonville implements the programs,

policies, and infrastructure projects recommended by the Plan,

it is anticipated that a portion of trips that would have been

made by car, releasing harmful emissions, will instead be made

by bike.

Livability

Livability comprises quality of life,

sense of place, and community

vibrancy for residents and visitors.

Infrastructure features that increase comfort for bicyclists can

enhance the character of communities by reducing motor

vehicle speeds and improving safety. On Hendersonville’s Main

Street, for instance, the presence of more cyclists could further

calm motor vehicle trafﬁc and enhance the sense of place and

walkability in downtown Hendersonville.

Agenda

CHAPTER 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS

Agenda

5HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS

CURRENT CONDITIONS

The development of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan started with the establishment of an understanding of

Hendersonville’s current demographic, societal, administrative, geographic, physical, and operational contexts. Who

lives in Hendersonville, current and future transportation preferences, and the factors that inﬂuence their travel choices

are all important considerations for the Bicycle Plan.

The City of Hendersonville is located in western North Carolina approximately 20 miles south of Asheville, NC, 30

miles north of Greenville, SC, and 90 miles west of Charlotte, NC. Hendersonville is 6 square miles in size and is

home to 13,350 people.

Hendersonville’s vibrant Historic Downtown covers 14 city blocks that straddle the recently

redesigned Main Street between Allen Street and 7

Avenue. Commercial development has generally followed the

major arterials radiating from downtown, and the majority of residential neighborhoods are generally located in the

western, northwestern, and southern portions of the City. Hendersonville can be accessed from Interstate 26 via US

64 which takes the names of 6

Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Four Seasons Boulevard, and Chimney Rock

Road within city limits.

EQUITY

While transportation professionals have historically placed

an emphasis on the 5 Es to advance bicycling, another

element has recently emerged as a priority—equity.

Equity in transportation is fairness in how decision-

makers meet the mobility, accessibility, and connectivity

needs of the community they serve.

Equity should not

be confused with equality, which implies that all parts of

a community should be allocated the same amount of

resources. Instead, transportation ofﬁcials should distribute

resources in a way that considers the unique needs of

underserved populations and seeks parity in mobility

for all community members. Traditionally underserved

populations include low income families, minorities, low

vehicle ownership households, and the elderly. These

groups are described in the ﬁgure below and maps on the

following pages.

Engineering directs the safe and effective

design and construction of bicycle infrastructure.

Education helps both motorists and bicyclists

understand how to safely navigate the streets

together.

Encouragement promotes bicycling as a viable

form of transportation and incentivizes bicycling.

Enforcement ensures that all road users comply

with local and state rules and regulations.

Evaluation and planning quantifies the

benefits of bicycling investments to guide future

decision-making.

COMMUTING

Four out of ten people nationwide who bicycle primarily do so for transportation (personal errands, visiting friends,

and commuting), while the remainder bicycle primarily for recreation and exercise.

Commuting to work or school

is a major consideration for transportation planners, as commute trips generally occur when streets are the most

congested. While commute data captured by the American Community Survey is fairly limited and does not effectively

reﬂect commuters who utilize different modes throughout the week, throughout the day, or even within the same

trip, the information still provides insight into commuters’ primary mode of transportation. The ﬁgure below shows the

travel patterns of Hendersonville's workers, and the map on the next page shows where people walk to get to work.

CHAPTER 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS

STREET NETWORK

Hendersonville’s street system is characterized by several major arterials radiating from its center, supported by a local

grid network. Traveling along the major arterials or crossing them can subject bicyclists to high levels of stress, since

the major arterials have no dedicated bicycle facilities and are generally high volume and high speed. One pair of one-

way streets supports Hendersonville’s downtown—Church Street (southbound) and King Street (northbound).

The top reasons individuals choose not to bicycle in Hendersonville are the relative lack of existing bikeways and

because they feel that it’s unsafe. A major barrier to bicycling along Hendersonville’s streets is the fear of collisions

with motorists, which is heightened along roadways with fast-moving motor vehicle trafﬁc, high volumes of motor

vehicle trafﬁc, or large percentages of truck trafﬁc. Other physical barriers to bicycling include one-way streets, variable

topography, poor pavement conditions, and gaps in the street network.

CRASH STATISTICS

The North Carolina Department of Transportation documents and makes available crashes reported along state-

maintained roadways. While this dataset doesn’t include crashes that occur on local streets and does not reﬂect

the frequency of close calls or near misses, it still provides insight in highlighting key corridors and intersections for

improvement. Streets that are characterized by a high frequency of motor vehicle crashes, a high severity of motor

vehicle crashes, or both are generally unsafe environments for bicycle travel.

Between January of 2013 and December of 2015, a total of 1,366 crashes occurred on state-maintained roadways in

Hendersonville. In this same time period, there were three reported collisions involving bicyclists on state-maintained

roads, one occurring on Hebron Road near W Lake Avenue and the other two occurring on US 64 eastbound in the

interchange with I-26 and near St. Mary’s Drive. Crashes color-coded by severity are shown on the following map.

15HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS

BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROUTES

Dedicated bicycle facilities provide exclusive travel space for bicyclists. Traditional facilities are placed directly adjacent

to general travel lanes, though more and more communities are installing bicycle lanes with striped buffers or vertical

elements to improve safety and comfort. Shared facilities, such as shared lane markings, require bicyclists and

motorists to share the street space. Shared use paths are off-street facilities shared by bicyclists and pedestrians. As of

2017, there are no dedicated bicycle facilities in Hendersonville.

Hendersonville’s bicycle facilities include the 4

Avenue bicycle boulevard and the Oklawaha Greenway. The 4

Avenue

bicycle boulevard comprises shared lane markings, also called "sharrows," and wayﬁnding signs between Jordan Street

and Harris Street. The Oklawaha Greenway follows Mud Creek, connecting to Berkeley Mills Park at its northern end

and Jackson Park at its southern end. An investigation is underway to extend the greenway south to the Blue Ridge

Community College. In addition to the parks along the Oklawaha Greenway, the greenway can be accessed via North

Main Street, Martin Circle, 7

Avenue, and 4

Avenue.

Along Main Street in Historic Downtown Hendersonville there are several public bicycle racks, and the City also owns

and maintains two bicycle repair stations comprising a stand, tools, and a tire pump. The bicycle repair stations are

located along the Oklawaha Greenway in Patton Park and near Berkeley Mills Park.

Bicycling Henderson County is a map showing a 184-mile system of bicycle routes located in Henderson County,

and it formalizes two routes connecting to Hendersonville. One route is signed as Bicycle Route 3 and is Bicycling

Henderson County’s major east-west route. In Hendersonville, the route follows 5

Avenue and 4

Avenue, connecting

the Town of Laurel Park on the west and Jackson Park in Henderson County on the east. The other bicycle route is

unsigned and primarily utilizes Asheville Highway, Church Street, King Street, and Willow Road.

CHAPTER 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS

POLICIES & PROGRAMS

Existing local policies impact Hendersonville bicycle-friendliness. For example, though rarely enforced, riding a bicycle

on any sidewalk in Hendersonville is illegal as of 2017.

This discourages less skilled bicyclists, including children, from

bicycling along major arterials.

Within its zoning and subdivision ordinances, the City of Hendersonville requires that private land developers in some

instances continue existing or planned sidewalk facilities within a quarter-mile of the development site and construct

sidewalks within subdivisions. The ordinances do not require developers to construct bicycle facilities.

The Henderson County Parks & Recreation Department, in partnership with Trips for Kids WNC, hosts a series of bike

skills classes for students in grades 3 to 5 every summer. The classes are free and teach young bicyclists to ride safely,

skillfully, and conﬁdently. Trips for Kids WNC is a chapter of Trips for Kids International, which uses bicycling to educate,

develop, and encourage at-risk youth.

The Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, the bicycle advocacy group for western North Carolina, plans and regularly hosts rides and

novice skills clinics, one of which takes place in Jackson Park or in Osceola Lake in Valley Hill located to the southwest

of Hendersonville. The clinics are intended to teach novice riders how to ride safety and efﬁciently when riding alone

or in groups.

Apple Country Public Transit, which operates three weekday bus routes throughout Hendersonville, Fletcher, and Laurel

Park, supports bicycling. Their bike policy states that bicycles are allowed on all buses, and some buses are even

equipped with external bicycle racks.

PREVIOUS PLANNING EFFORTS

The Hendersonville Bicycle Plan acknowledges that change wording that it is built upon a foundation of past

transportation planning efforts in Hendersonville and the region. The Bicycle Plan considers and builds upon the key

ﬁndings and recommendations of previously adopted plans, summarized on the following pages.

y The Transportation and Circulation element of the Plan includes afﬁrmation

hat Hendersonville citizens have “expressed a strong desire throughout

the planning process for improved walkability and bikeability throughout

the City,” as well as for “a bike path system that connects to a regional bike

path network.”

y One goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to “develop a bicycle infrastructure

hat encourages bicycling as a form of transportation and recreation.” To

meet this goal, the Plan recommends the pursuit of NCDOT grants to

prepare a bicycle plan, an action which has resulted in the development of

this Plan.

y Strategies from the Transportation and Circulation element of the

omprehensive Plan that are echoed by the recommendations of the

Bicycle Plan include:

- Preserve and expand the public greenway system as a core component

f the bicycle and pedestrian transportation system.

- Incorporate bicycle lanes into future roadway improvements where

appropr

Engaging the public during the bicycle planning process created the opportunity to capture and consider public opinion

and increase awareness of the Bicycle Plan. Gaining an understanding of the public’s values increases the likelihood

that the end product will offer viable strategies that are responsive to the needs of the community.

Hendersonville citizens helped the project team identify key destinations and priority corridors for facility

recommendations. The public also provided feedback regarding the desirability of proposed program and policy

recommendations. The public engagement process for the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan included several opportunities

for the public to learn about the Plan and provide their input. The success of the public engagement process is due

in large part to the support of the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, who assisted with promotion and facilitation of public

meetings and advertisement of the online survey.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

The project team held public meetings in May and August 2016. Information about the Plan was presented to the

public at these meetings and attendees participated in a variety of activities to provide their input. The May open

houses captured existing perceptions and desired bicycling conditions in Hendersonville, while the August open

houses provided an opportunity for the public to review and rank the Plan’s recommendations.

The public played a key role in highlighting existing deﬁciencies in the street network for bicycling and prioritizing

corridors for short-term improvements. They also identiﬁed key destinations, which were a major consideration for

infrastructure recommendations.

At the August open houses, the public ranked the infrastructure projects that had been identiﬁed as priorities by the

steering committee. These rankings (along with steering committee feedback and a data-driven scoring process)

sorted the priority projects into short-term and mid-term tiers. The public also reviewed and ranked recommendations

pertaining to bicycle education and encouragement. The public’s feedback inﬂuenced the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan’s

recommendations and action plan, described in the Recommendations and Implementation chapters.

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Generally speaking, there are four categories of bicyclists:

1. People who are comfortable riding on high-speed roadways (the "strong and fearless")

2. People who are comfortable sharing travel lanes with motorists but would prefer dedicated facilities (the "enthused

and conﬁdent")

3. People who would like to ride but are worried about their safety (the "interested but concerned")

4. People who wouldn't even consider riding a bicycle ("no way, no how")

In a study published by Portland State University, over half of survey respondents reported being in the interested

but concerned category of bicyclists. This group represents people who would ride their bikes more if it were safer,

more convenient, and more comfortable to do so.

The Hendersonville Bicycle Plan seeks to serve the interested but

concerned majority.

BICYCLE FACILITY PLAN

Hendersonville’s recommended bicycle facility plan consists of individual projects along key streets and corridors.

These projects support the City’s goal to improve its infrastructure for bicyclists of all ages and abilities. The next

steps for the City of Hendersonville, in partnership with the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization

(FBRMPO) and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), are to prioritize, design, fund, construct,

and evaluate these projects. This initiates the prioritization process by identifying ﬁve projects that can be implemented

in the next ﬁve to ten years.

FACILITY PLANNING PROCESS

The creation of the recommended bicycle facility plan began with the drafting of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan’s

vision statement:

The key words in the vision statement relating to facility planning are "connected," "safe," "comfortable," and "all ages

and abilities." The vision statement serves as a reminder to the project team, the steering committee, and the public

of what the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan is seeking to accomplish regarding infrastructure improvements from a big

picture perspective.

The City of Hendersonville will have a bikeway system that

is connected, safe, and comfortable for riders of all ages and

abilities, supported by efforts that encourage and educate

everyone who drives, bikes, and walks.

Agenda

30 HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

Following consensus on the vision statement, the project team initiated an iterative process to create the

commended bicycle facility plan. This process, graphically displayed in the maps on the following pages, began

with inventorying existing facilities, i.e. the 4

Avenue bicycle boulevard and the Oklawaha Greenway, and facility

recommendations from previously adopted plans, including the Blue Ridge Bike Plan and the FBRMPO 2040

Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

The steering committee and the public then identiﬁed existing bicycle destinations as well as additional places where

access by bike should be improved, including schools, parks, neighborhoods, and downtown Hendersonville. The

Oklawaha Greenway serves as both a bikeway and a destination. This exercise yielded a mostly blank “connect the

dots” map – the dots represent the destinations, and the lines represent the existing and planned bicycle facilities.

The steering committee and the public were responsible for the initial connection of the dots, making decisions about

which routes have the greatest potential for improvement considering the context of safety, comfort, connectivity, and

equity. This step included superﬁcial considerations of the operational and geometric characteristics of Hendersonville’s

streets and opportunities to construct off-street facilities such as shared use paths.

The project team then reviewed the preliminary bicycle facility map to ﬁll in network gaps, augment the network

with additional recommendations, and make determinations about what facility type would characterize each

recommendation. The graphic on the next page details the bicycle facility toolkit at the team's disposal.

To determine the logical facility type for each recommendation, the project team considered both qualitative and

quantitative inputs, including feedback from the steering committee and the public, land use context and nearby

destinations, motor vehicle trafﬁc volumes and speeds, crash statistics, existing pavement widths and conditions,

shoulder treatments, and structural and environmental constraints. The draft bicycle facility plan then underwent a

series of reviews by the steering committee and was presented at a public open house. The facility planning process is

shown in the series of maps on page 32. The ﬁnal recommended bicycle facility plan is shown in the map on page 33.

BALANCING BIKE LANE VISION PROJECTS WITH THE DEMAND

FOR ON-STREET PARKING

On-street bicycle lanes are generally implemented in one of two ways: as part of new roadways or striped within the

existing pavement width. The latter strategy can be coordinated with existing street resurfacing programs to reduce

implementation costs. However, restriping a street to include bike lanes where bike lanes did not previously exist can

sometimes result in the loss of travel lanes or on-street parking lanes.

On the surface, business owners may have the most to lose when on-street parking is considered for reallocation for

the creation of bike lanes. Every on-street parking space is valuable because it is an opportunity for a customer to

park their vehicle. Not being able to ﬁnd convenient parking may turn customers away from patronizing the business.

However, several case studies investigating the economic impact of converting on-street parking into bike lanes show

net gains in sales revenue or no change at all.

While bicyclists can't carry as much as motorists and thus, don't spend

as much money during each shopping trip, bicyclists tend to make more trips and spend more money overall.

The City of Hendersonville recognizes the value of on-street parking and should make every effort to communicate and

collaborate with those who may be impacted by the potential modiﬁcation of on-street parking due to recommended

bike lanes. Where existing on-street parking and proposed bike lanes vie for the same cross-sectional space, the City

of Hendersonville and its partners should develop a committee of key stakeholders and City staff to consider preferred

outcomes. The City of Hendersonville has a successful history of convening Blue Ribbon Committees for the purposes

of community collaboration. The committee will weigh the community-wide impacts and beneﬁts of restriping to

include bicycle facilities and will investigate mitigation measures where appropriate.

SHARED FACILITIES WITH

PEDESTRIANS (GREENWAYS)

Shared use paths

Shared use paths, also known

multi-use paths or greenways,

are paved trails located away

from street rights-of-way and are

intended only for non-motorized

forms of transportation, including

bicycling and walking.

Side paths

Side paths are paved trails that

are located adjacent to the

roadway and can be used by

both bicyclists and pedestrians.

SHARED FACILITIES WITH

MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC

Bike routes

Bicycle routes are delineated

using numbered signs and are

generally meant to guide skilled

bicyclists during long-distance trips.

Wayﬁnding

Signage directing bicyclists to

nearby destinations can provide

a means of wayﬁnding for

bicyclists and remind motorists

to expect bicyclists traveling in

the street.

Shared lane markings

Also known as sharrows, a

portmanteau of share and arrows,

shared lane markings indicate

where bicyclists should travel in

the roadway to increase bicyclist

conspicuity, mitigate bicyclist

collisions with opening parked

vehicle doors, and reinforce the

presence of bicyclists.

Bicycle boulevards

Bicycle boulevards, neighborhood

greenways, or neighborhood

bikeways, utilize trafﬁc calming

measures, signage, and design

elements that prioritize bicycle

travel on low-speed and

low-trafﬁc streets.

DEDICATED

FACILITIES

Conventional bike lanes

Bike lanes dedicate exclusive

space for bicyclists in the

roadway. In contrast to buffered

or separated bike lanes,

conventional bike lanes do not

provide any vertical separation

or additional horizontal

separation from travel lanes.

Buffered bike lanes

Buffered bike lanes provide a

painted buffer between bike

lanes and travel lanes or

parking lanes, increasing

comfort for both motorists and

bicyclists.

Separated bike lanes

Separated bike lanes, also

known as protected bike lanes

or cycle tracks, separate bike

lanes from travel lanes using

vertical elements such as

plastic posts, planters, and

medians, reducing the

likelihood of motor vehicle

encroachment.

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

The primary objective of deﬁning a list of priority projects is to score and rank the projects. The top ﬁve priority

ojects are included in the City’s short-term implementation plan. The remaining ﬁve projects will make up the mid-

term implementation plan. Weighted equally, three major categories of input informed the scoring process—steering

committee input, public input, and quantitative data (nearby activity centers, population served, percent population in

poverty, and percent households with no access to motor vehicles). The following pages include a map of the top ﬁve

priority projects and project proﬁles comprising descriptions, concept illustrations, and typical cross-sections.

As the City of Hendersonville makes progress in implementing the facility recommendations of the Bicycle Plan, the

list of priorities should change to reﬂect the City's renewed direction. The City's street grid presents an opportunity

to make strategic decisions about north-south and east-west connections. For example, 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue

both run east-west through the center of Hendersonville. Investment in improving 4th Avenue as a bicycle boulevard

may mean that the City can shift its energy from improving 5th Avenue to improving other more critical streets. The

priorities deﬁned in this Bicycle Plan are expected to shift and change as individual streets are improved for bicyclists.

PRIORITY PROJECT #1 — 7

AVENUE CORRIDOR

EXTENTS

Between North Grove Street and Oklawaha Greenway

BACKGROUND

This segment of 7

Avenue is the primary street in Hendersonville's Historic 7

Avenue District and connects the Historic Downtown District to the Oklawaha

Greenway to the east. This area is poised for revitalization into a vibrant commercial

area. Destinations along this street include businesses, the Hendersonville Train Depot, and William H.

King Memorial Park, which can be accessed via the Oklawaha Greenway. 7

Avenue parallels US 64

and serves as a slower street with greater accessibility to retail and residences.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION

West of Maple Street, this vision project would take advantage of the extra space allocated to on-street

parking and narrow the travel lanes to provide bike lanes. Three-foot buffers on the on-street parking

side would be installed to mitigate the likelihood of collisions with opening car doors. East of Maple

Street, on-street parking would be consolidated to one side to provide bike lanes in both directions.

The addition of bike lanes would provide a key connection for bicyclists between the Historic 7

Avenue District and the Oklawaha Greenway. This design requires consistent maintenance to keep

the gutter clear of debris for bicyclist safety. As of 2017 there is a daily street sweeper on 7th Avenue.

Implementation of this vision project would require modiﬁcation to existing on-street parking.

Rather than make such modiﬁcations in haste, it is recommended that the City convene a Blue

Ribbon Committee to reach agreement about potential modiﬁcations to 7

Avenue. Suggested

committee members include downtown business leaders, bicycle advocates, and City of

Hendersonville Public Works.

An alternative to modifying on-street parking on one side of the street to provide bike lanes on both

sides is alternating the side of the street from which on-street parking is removed. This design would

reduce the impact of on-street parking loss, calm motor vehicle trafﬁc, and maintain bike lanes in

both directions. The City could also consider restriping 7

Avenue to provide a bike lane in the uphill

direction (westbound) and shared lane markings in the downhill direction (eastbound).

PRIORITY PROJECT #2 — GROVE STREET BICYCLE LANES

EXTENTS

Between Spartanburg Highway and 5

Avenue

BACKGROUND

Grove Street extends from Spartanburg Highway to US 64 and is the primary connection between

downtown Hendersonville and the residential area around Substation Street in unincorporated

Henderson County. North Grove Street provides access to the Henderson County Courthouse, the

Henderson County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Dr. MLK Jr. Memorial Park, retail locations, and an Apple Country

Transit bus stop. Along South Grove Street are several businesses, including a major grocery store, and

residential areas.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION

Due to the length, cost, and impact of this project, it would likely be constructed in two phases: the

section from Spartanburg Highway to East Barnwell Street would be Phase 1, and the section from East

Barnwell Street to 5

Avenue would be Phase 2. The existing pavement width varies from 20 to 33

feet, and roadway widening would be required to provide dedicated bike lanes along the entire length

of Grove Street. This project should be included in a larger effort to improve Grove Street by burying

utility lines, constructing sidewalks, and beautifying the street.

AVENUE BICYCLE BOULEVARD UPGRADE

EXTENTS

Between Jordan Street and Buncombe Street

BACKGROUND

The section of 4

Avenue between Jordan Street and Buncombe Street is almost entirely residential.

To the east of Buncombe Street, beyond the project’s extents, 4

Avenue connects downtown

Hendersonville to Jackson Park and the Oklawaha Greenway. In 2014, the City of Hendersonville

installed shared lane markings and wayﬁnding signage along 4

Avenue, though additional trafﬁc

calming improvements could further emphasize 4

Avenue’s identity as a bicycle boulevard, a low-

stress street that is comfortable and convenient for bicyclists.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION

A bicycle boulevard upgrade along 4

Avenue would slow motorists, divert motor vehicle trafﬁc, attract

bicycle trafﬁc, and enhance 4

Avenue’s attractiveness as a residential street. Trafﬁc calming features

would be installed according to the City of Hendersonville’s trafﬁc calming policy and would likely

include speed cushions, which would not impede emergency vehicle or bicyclist access, but would

slow passenger cars. Additional trafﬁc calming features for consideration include intersection diverters,

mini trafﬁc circles, and raised crosswalks. The City of Hendersonville should also consider lowering the

posted speed limit on 4th Avenue from 25 mph to 20 mph. The addition of trafﬁc calming measures

may provide the opportunity to remove stop signs on 4th Avenue, which would make east-west bicycle

travel more efﬁcient.

PRIORITY PROJECT #4 — LOCUST STREET/MAPLE STREET CORRIDOR

EXTENTS

Between 1

Avenue and North Main Street

BACKGROUND

Locust Street is part of Hendersonville’s Historic 7

Avenue District and connects North Main Street

to 7

Avenue. Residences and businesses line the street, and Bruce Drysdale Elementary can also

be accessed via Locust Street. Maple Street is a gravel road between 5

Avenue and 4

Avenue that

parallels the railroad. Land uses along Maple Street are primarily industrial, and the street serves the

Hendersonville Train Depot, which is located at its intersection with 7

Avenue. This project would

provide a low-stress north-south connection between 1

Avenue and the Historic 7

Avenue District.

PROJECT

ESCRIPTION

The project would connect residences and Bruce Drysdale Elementary School to downtown

Hendersonville and 4

Avenue, which provides access to the Oklawaha Greenway and Jackson Park.

Locust Street would be restriped to provide bike lanes in each direction, and shared lane markings

would be added to Maple Street. A double-yellow centerline on Maple Street would further organize

trafﬁc, and there is potential to construct a shared use path along the west side of the rail line

between 4

Avenue and 1

Avenue. This connection would provide access to the proposed Ecusta

Trail Phase 1 trailhead.

Instead of bike lanes on Locust Street, the project could consider the construction of a side-path on

the west side north of 9th Avenue and shared lane markings south of 9th Avenue. Maple Street would

have to be widened to provide bike lanes. (See page 30 for a discussion of the tradeoffs to consider

when balancing bike lane vision projects with the demand for on-street parking.)

PRIORITY PROJECT #5 — BEARCAT BOULEVARD CORRIDOR

EXTENTS

Between Fleming Street and Locust Street

BACKGROUND

Bearcat Boulevard, named for Hendersonville High School’s mascot, begins at

Fleming Street near Pardee Hospital and ends at Locust Street in the Historic

7th Avenue District. In addition to the hospital and the Historic 7th Avenue District,

the street connects Hendersonville High School, several small businesses, St. James Episcopal Church,

and Bruce Drysdale Elementary School. The section of Bearcat Boulevard between Oakland Street and

North Church Street has recently been resurfaced and includes on-street parking lanes on both sides,

several high-visibility crosswalks, and wayﬁnding markings in the shape of bearcat paws.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTION

This vision project includes installing shared lane markings between Fleming Street and Oakland Street,

restriping to provide buffered bike lanes between Oakland Street and North Main Street, and restriping

to provide bike lanes between North Main Street and Locust Street. The installation of buffered bike

lanes along Bearcat Boulevard would provide a comfortable bicycle facility for travelers, including

Hendersonville High and Bruce Drysdale Elementary students.

Relocating on-street parking to the forthcoming school expansion to the north should be investigated

and considered. Given the impacts of this potential shift, it is recommended that the City establish

a Blue Ribbon Committee to reach consensus to balance bicycling and parking needs on Bearcat

Boulevard. Participants in the committee should include representatives of Hendersonville High School,

Pardee Hospital, and EMS; bicycle advocates; and City of Hendersonville Public Works.

Alternatively, the project could maintain on-street parking on one side and include bike lanes in both

directions. The cross-section would include two 11-foot travel lanes, two 5-foot bike lanes, and a 7-foot

on-street parking lane. The sidewalk on the north side of Bearcat Boulevard could also be widened to

provide a side-path, a paved path wide enough to accommodate both bicyclists and pedestrians. (See

page 30 for a discussion of the tradeoffs to consider when balancing bike lane vision projects with the

demand for on-street parking.)

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

PROGRAMS & POLICIES

Beyond the facility recommendations included in the previous section, the City of Hendersonville and other local

groups can undertake programmatic efforts to improve bicycling conditions. These efforts can include creating

programs or putting on events to promote and encourage bicycling; educating motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists

about how to safely and legally navigate the City together; and creating policies that ensure that bicycling is treated as

a valid mode of transportation. The project team in coordination with City of Hendersonville staff created a series of

program and policy recommendations. The table below describes each recommendation.

ABLE 5: POLICY & PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATION DESCRIPTION

Create a Bicycle/Pedestrian

Advisory Commission.

A Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Commission consists of volunteers who provide

guidance and leadership concerning bicycle and pedestrian issues to City staff. The

Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Commission would meet regularly to discuss strategies to

improve bicycling and walking conditions in Hendersonville.

Permit bicycling on

the sidewalk except in

downtown Hendersonville.

Riding a bike on any sidewalk in Hendersonville is illegal as of 2017, which leaves

younger and less-skilled bicyclists no comfortable options for traveling along major

roadways. Reducing the restriction to downtown sidewalks would maintain pedestrian

safety in downtown while accommodating bicycle travel elsewhere in the City.

Incorporate bicycling safety

into driver education and

training courses.

Including bicycling safety in the curriculum of driver education and trafﬁc school

courses will increase motorist awareness about laws pertaining to bicyclists and teach

motorists how to safely share the roadway with bicyclists.

Adopt a local Complete

Streets policy.

Complete Streets policies establish a process which requires planning and designing

for all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists. A

local Complete Streets policy would supplement NCDOT's Complete Streets policy

and would be speciﬁcally applicable to City-owned streets.

Require new developments

to include bicycle facilities

and parking.

As of 2017, Hendersonville's zoning and subdivision ordinances include sidewalk

requirements for new developments. Adding bicycle facility and parking

requirements would leverage the opportunity of new development to expand

the City's bicycle network.

Establish a local Safe Routes

to School program.

Safe Routes to School programs promote safe walking and bicycling to and from

schools to improve the health and well-being of school children. North Carolina's

statewide Safe Routes to School program created a project called Active Routes to

School, which provides resources and guidance through Regional Coordinators.

Identify and prioritize

locations for bicycle rack

installation.

Properly installed and conveniently-located bicycle racks encourage bicyclists to

park their bicycles in secure and convenient locations. Adequate bicycle parking also

reduces the likelihood of damage that may result from locking bicycles to trees, sign

posts, or other objects.

Become a League of

American Bicyclists Bicycle

Friendly Community.

The League of American Bicyclists awards varying levels of the Bicycle Friendly

Community designation to applying communities. Bicycle Friendly Communities

have demonstrated progress in making bicycling a safe and convenient means of

transportation and recreation.

Regularly update local street

design standards to reﬂect

national best practices.

Local street design standards dictate how roadways can be built according to the

local Complete Streets policy. Road design guidelines often control the inclusion and

design of bicycle infrastructure.

Agenda

49HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATION DESCRIPTION

Require bicycle education in

schools.

Introducing bicycle education into school curriculum provides students with the

knowledge and skills to ride a bicycle safely, while also establishing bicycling as a

social norm. Early education can instill bicycling conﬁdence in youth before they learn

how to operate motor vehicles.

Deploy bicycle patrols. Bicycle patrols provide ofﬁcers with more opportunities for positive interaction with

the public, while also normalizing bicycling as a form of transportation. Bicycle ofﬁcers

can employ reverse ticketing campaigns where they provide information or safety

equipment to bicyclists instead of ticketing.

Plan and execute Open

Streets events.

Open Streets events temporarily close streets to motor vehicular trafﬁc allowing the

street to be used for a variety of pedestrian, bicyclist, and recreation activities. These

events build community while celebrating the use of non-motorized transportations.

Create a Bicycle Pedestrian

Program and hire a Program

Coordinator.

The role of a local Bicycle Pedestrian Program and the Program Coordinator is to

promote bicycling and walking through encouragement, engineering, and design. The

Program Coordinator is also responsible for advocating for bicycling and walking in

transportation planning processes.

Create events to promote

National Bike Month and

Bike to Work Day.

National Bike Month takes place in May and can include planned events such as

group rides, educational classes, and local bike challenges. National Bike to Work Day

occurs in the same month and encourages commuters to ride bicycles to work, which

can be incentivized by employers and other City events.

Become a Watch for Me NC

partner community.

Watch for Me NC, a collaborative effort between NCDOT and local communities,

endeavors to reduce the number of bicyclists and pedestrians injured in crashes with

vehicles through public education and police enforcement. Partner communities

receive additional support and training from NCDOT.

Regularly update the City's

trafﬁc calming policy.

Trafﬁc calming policies enable jurisdictions to retroﬁt streets with physical and

visual features that reduce travel speeds and, in turn, make streets safer and more

comfortable environments for bicyclists.

Distribute bike lights,

helmets, and bells.

Bike lights, helmets, and bells are important features of safe bicycling. Distribution

of safety equipment will promote responsible bicycling behavior and create safer

conditions for both bicyclists and motorists sharing the roadways.

Create a local Bicycle

Beneﬁts program.

Bicycle Beneﬁts is a program designed to reward individuals and businesses alike for

their commitment to creating a more livable and sustainable community. Bicyclists

beneﬁt by receiving discounts from participating businesses, and businesses beneﬁt

from increased customer trafﬁc.

Conduct police training on

bicycle safety.

Police departments should provide ofﬁcers with training to improve their

understanding of bicyclists' rights and responsibilities. Increased knowledge will allow

ofﬁcers to properly enforce laws that prevent crashes and enhance safety for all road

users.

Conduct regular bicycle

counts.

Regular bicycle counts can guide planning and funding decisions. Counts can also be

used to quantify the beneﬁts of investments in bicycle infrastructure.

IMPLEMENTATION

INTRODUCTION

The implementation plan provides a framework of actionable steps for achieving the vision of the Hendersonville

Bicycle Plan. The implementation plan is categorized by short-term, mid-term, and long-term strategies and indicates

who will be responsible for championing them. This chapter also offers guidance for securing funding, establishing

design standards, and evaluating performance measures.

ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK

The organizational framework represents the roles and responsibilities of local, regional, and statewide organizations in

implementing the recommendations of the Hendersonville Bicycle Plan. From setting policy to constructing facilities,

from coordinating with other governmental agencies to partnering with bicycle advocacy organizations, the City of

Hendersonville will need external support and resources to achieve a more bicycle-friendly city.

Change City code of ordinances to allow sidewalk bicycling.

Although rarely enforced, sidewalk bicycling is prohibited on all sidewalks in

Hendersonville as of 2017. This results in bicyclists having to break the law

would be a boon for the region. Additionally, the north-south rail corridor

between Shepherd Street and 1

Avenue could be studied for installation of

an adjacent trail.

Update Bicycle Plan.

Successful implementation of the Bicycle Plan will necessitate an update in

ﬁve to ten years. The Bicycle Plan’s recommendations will need to be revisited,

revised, and augmented to keep pace with Hendersonville’s progress toward

a more bicycle friendly community. Municipalities with bicycle plans that are

older than ﬁve years are eligible to apply for NCDOT Division of Bicycle and

CHAPTER 5: IMPLEMENTATION

FUNDING SOURCES

Implementation requires taking advantage of federal, state, local, and private funding opportunities. As a municipality

in a metropolitan planning organization area in North Carolina, the City of Hendersonville can use federal and state

funding that has been allocated to NCDOT Division 14 or to the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization

(FBRMPO). The City’s capital improvement program and private entities are other sources that can be used to

implement the recommendations of the Bicycle Plan. These funding sources are summarized in the sections below.

FIXING AMERICA’S SURFACE TRANSPORTATION

The most recent surface transportation legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act), was passed in

December 2015. It restructured several of the funding programs that were active in the previous legislation, Moving

Ahead for Progress in the 21

Century (MAP-21). For the programs described below, the City of Hendersonville would

apply to the FBRMPO for funding and provide a 20% local match.

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program

MAP-21’s Surface Transportation Program-Direct Attributable (STPDA) was changed to the Surface Transportation Block

Grant P

rogram

(STBG) in the FAST Act. Municipalities within metropolitan planning organization (MPO) study areas,

e.g., the FBRMPO area, can submit projects for STBG funding through the MPO. Eligible projects include roadways,

transit (operations excluded), bike facilities, pedestrian facilities, truck parking areas, and intelligent transportation

systems (ITS) improvements.

Transportation Alternatives

What was once the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) is now a set-aside under STBG called Transportation

Alt

ernatives

(TA). Eligible projects include pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, and Safe Routes to

School projects. Municipalities can apply for TA funding in the same way they would apply for STBG funding.

Metropolitan Planning

The FAST Act maintains MAP-21’s metropolitan planning funding program.

Jurisdictions that are members of an MPO

can apply for this funding for planning studies. Localities must provide a 20% local match and can only use the funding

on planning studies. This funding mechanism was used to fund the Ecusta Rail-Trail Study.

NCDOT STRATEGIC MOBILITY FORMULA

NCDOT receives and allocates federal funding using their Strategic Mobility Formula, established by the Strategic

Transportation Investments

law passed in 2013. The Strategic Mobility Formula is a data-driven and performance-

based process of prioritizing projects for federal and state funding, and it updates NCDOT’s 10-Year State

Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) every two years. Projects in the ﬁrst ﬁve years of the STIP have been

committed for funding and construction, while projects in the last ﬁve years of the STIP are reevaluated every two

years using the Strategic Mobility Formula. In the Strategic Mobility Formula, transportation projects are grouped into

three separate funding categories: division needs, regional impact, and statewide mobility. All bicycle projects are

considered division needs and are only eligible for funding that has been allocated for division needs projects.

The City of Hendersonville can coordinate with FBRMPO to submit bicycle facility projects for prioritization for funding.

Projects identiﬁed in this Bicycle Plan would be eligible for Strategic Mobility Formula funding.

POWELL BILL FUNDS

North Carolina’s State street-aid program,

also known as the Powell Bill program, provides funding allocations for

eligible municipalities based on population and mileage of locally-maintained roadways. The primary function of the

Powell Bill program is to assist municipalities in funding resurfacing local streets, but the funds may also be used for

planning, constructing, and maintaining bikeways, greenways, and sidewalks. Powell Bill funds could be pursued as a

match for future updates to this Plan. The City of Hendersonville received $386,360 in Powell Bill funds in 2015.

Agenda

57HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 5: IMPLEMENTATION

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The City of Hendersonville’s annual budget includes a little over $1 million for the street department. Approximately

$35,000 is allocated for resurfacing and patching, and $25,000 is allocated for sidewalk maintenance. Unfortunately,

these amounts are not expected to increase in the short-term. The City of Hendersonville cites that funding for

sidewalk repairs, street resurfacing, and street sweeping equipment is not on pace with demand. The City’s current

capital improvement program only includes water line and sewer projects, but could include transportation projects in

the future.

TRANSPORTATION BONDS

Transportation bonds generate revenue from a tax increase on property values. In North Carolina, bond referendums

must be approved by the local council and then included on the ballot to be voted on by residents. Transportation

bonds can include roadway, bicycle facility, and sidewalk projects.

PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS

Updating the City’s zoning and subdivision ordinances to require private developers to include bicycle infrastructure

in their site plans will help the City build out the Bicycle Plan’s facility recommendations. Bicycle infrastructure

requirements can include on-street and off-street facilities as well as bicycle parking.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Non-proﬁt organizations, such as the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club and PeopleForBikes, are potential sources of funding for

bicycle facilities. For example, the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club partnered with the City of Hendersonville to install two bike

repair stations, one in Patton Park and one in Berkeley Mills Park. The Blue Ridge Bicycle Club also worked with the

City of Hendersonville to install shared lane markings and wayﬁnding signage on 4

Avenue. PeopleForBikes awards

grants through their Community Grant Program.

Grant amounts can be up to $10,000 per project, can’t be more than

50% of the project cost, and can be awarded to local governments or non-proﬁt organizations.

DESIGN GUIDELINES

Several guidance documents exist for the planning and design of bicycle facilities. Updated versions of the Manual

on Uniform Trafﬁc Control Devices (MUTCD) and Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities are expected to be

published in 2018. The guidance documents that the City of Hendersonville should reference when implementing

the facility recommendations of the Plan are summarized below. NCDOT’s Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian

Transportation web page (https://www.ncdot.gov/bikeped/Design-Prioritization-Funding/) also contains a library of

links to helpful design guidelines and policies.

66 HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 6: APPENDIX

Additional comments submitted by respondents through the online survey are shown below.

o you have any general comments about bicycling in Hendersonville?

Looking forward to it!!!!

Wish the Ecusta Trail would happen. (Love riding on Swamp Rabbit Trail, but wish I did not have to drive there.)

Would also love to have a greenway to Asheville.

I would ride more if there was some separation between myself and vehicles. Separation could be deﬁned as a bike

lane or off road path.

We typically ride from Patton Park or HWY 191 into Hendersonville to eat on Main Street or on 7

Avenue.

Generally nice routes to and through the City except from the north (BR US 25 or NC 191).

Motorist in general do not recognize me as a vehicle. They see me as a nuisance. I have had items thrown at me

and I have had motorist get as close as possible to me even though there was plenty of room to pass on my left. It is

surprising and refreshing when a motorist does acknowledge me and smile.

We need bike lanes.

Drivers need to be more aware of bicyclists and the drivers need to slow down.

Overall my cycling experience has been great in Hendersonville, but it could be better. Still too many mean and crazy

car drivers.

If the edges of the road, where cyclists ride, were kept cleaner. Cars and trucks push trash, stone, glass and all to the

edge of the road.

New section of the Oklawaha to Berkeley Park is the best yet, with excellent landscaping.

It’s a disgrace that we have no bike lanes ANYWHERE including our 4

Ave. “bike route.” There should be designated

bike lanes on all major through routes like 64, Spartanburg Highway, Greenville Highway, Kanuga Road, and Main

Street, King, and Church.

I have to ride on Route 191 to get downtown and feel this is the most dangerous part of my ride. It would be nice if

the road shoulder was wider.

Knowing how to safely ride a bike in trafﬁc is important but so is how to drive a vehicle in mixed trafﬁc. Those who

propel large steel boxes with little abandon should be more empathetic when it comes to the other vehicle types,

especially bicycles that they share the road with. I ﬁnd the few I’m able to stop when they’ve passed too close or ran

me off the road had no idea they were making me feel unsafe by the way they drove. Usually disaster is just narrowly

avoided when a car or 18 wheeler (I’ve had both unfortunately) want to get past and there are cars coming the

other way. Sometimes perhaps pressed by time they try to squeeze by endangering all involved in the passing just

so they may arrive at their destination a few seconds sooner. Most Hendersonville drivers though are courteous, but

if one rides on the side of the road enough there will inevitably be close calls and hopefully not a cyclist fatality. So

education is one thing but when there are few to no bike lanes marked it seems cyclists are begrudgingly tolerated

on the road by some drivers and often actually think that bicycles have no place using the same roadways as them.

I am hopeful for more bike lanes to keep cyclists safe and to let drivers know that the roadway is used by more than

just the ubiquitous automobile. One huge improvement would be to add bike lanes to connecting major roads like

Asheville Hwy for those who would like to do more in Hendersonville on a bicycle. When I do venture out to a store

on my bike, I have found a distinct lack of bike racks at most businesses like Ingles or Lowes. In summary, it seems

the ﬁrst step is to make the population more aware that the joys and utility of cycling are available to everyone, and

your wonderful forum is a good start in initiating that process. I look forward to attending your meetings next Monday

and Tuesday, and to the cycling friendly future of our awesome city.

Currently, riding a bicycle in, around, and near Hendersonville is absolutely dangerous for the bike rider and the car

or vehicle driver. The roads are narrow and winding. If I ride a bike there is the constant danger of a vehicle trying

to pass me on a curve or even a straight away with unassured clear distance. This is compounded even more with

vehicles pulling oversized trailers trying to pass. If there is a safe solution for BOTH bike riders and vehicle drivers I

would love to see it.

When I have ridden, motorists are mostly considerate. Bike lanes would be wonderful.

Agenda

67HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 6: APPENDIX

Better bike paths and greenways with comprehensive planning can make this a bike community

Love to ride, but sometimes it seems to be taking my life in my hands, especially on major feeder roads like

Hwy 191.

In general, Hendersonville itself is already very bike- and pedestrian-friendly. However, it is sometimes hard to ﬁnd

bike-friendly routes for some of the outlying neighborhoods. Route maps with bike-friendly streets highlighted,

marked routes (like 4

Avenue now), bike lanes and bike paths to areas like Flat Rock, Spartanburg Highway,

Asheville Highway, and the east side of freeway Exit 53 (where Wal-Mart and a variety of other shopping areas are)

would increase the number of places I could bike for daily errands and events.

Thanks for working to create a bike-friendly community! I really appreciate the bike routes that have been created

already and the excellent bike racks downtown and near the municipal buildings.

I feel the sidewalks of the less walked part of town should be opened to bikes especially children and less

experienced bikers. This would be far safer than riding in the road. Bicycles should yield to pedestrians no matter

the situation.

Great place to ride—road, BMX, trail, or to recreate. Like most places, my concerns are generally focused on law

enforcement seemingly negative, or not positive, attitude towards cyclists resulting in not taking their concerns—

whether general or speciﬁc, active incidents—sincerely; and disparate enforcement of laws to cyclists as opposed to

motorists. I think motorists know this, and those wanting to get angry or exhibit aggressive behavior feel free to do

so as there is no fear of consequence. By way of example, the magic words seem to be “I didn’t see him/her,” which

seems to qualify it as an accident rather than negligent or reckless driving resulting in any form of manslaughter

charge. As a driver, your job is to look where you are driving and use reasonable care as conditions dictate.

Many of the induction loop type trafﬁc signals in the area are not bicycle friendly. For example, at the intersection on

Asheville Hwy when exiting Patton Park the saw-cuts on the pavement, where the induction loop sensor lies, have

been paved over, making it impossible to know where to position a bicycle to trigger the trafﬁc signal. Other cities

have solved this problem by marking a bicycle symbol to indicate the “sweet spot” at this type of intersection.

I would like to bike from my home, but Hwy 191/Haywood Road is not safe for cyclists. A bike lane into

Hendersonville on Hwy 191 or Hwy 25 would give a lot better access.

I appreciate you asking cyclists to participate in this survey.

Too many compromised seniors in cars causing too many accidents. I can visualize a future with dedicated streets

and shared bikes, including three wheelers. Better health, safer streets.

I would like to see bicycling promoted more as a fun way to travel that reduces emissions and is good exercise. I

wish we had a bikeway. Turning unused railways into a bikeway would be wonderful.

Nothing particular.

I would love to ride my bike to work however, 191 and Spartanburg Highway are very difﬁcult with trafﬁc as there is

no room for bikes safely.

The more the better.

As an avid cyclist living in Weaverville, I have only rode in Hendersonville a few times from Laurel Park to downtown.

It was a fairly good experience but would love to see greenways and or bike lanes and racks. The more of these you

can offer the more inclined I will be to visit and frequent the shops and restaurants.

I hope this plan will extend to out of the City limits and into the rest of the County.

There is a deﬁnite lack of bike lanes here in Hendersonville. I’m much happier and conﬁdent riding in large cities that

have infrastructure for bikes. For example, NYC is much less daunting.

Except for 4

Ave, there are really no other roads. I would like to see it be possible to ride bikes on 191 and then

Church Street to get downtown. Of course the Ecusta Trail would be also great.

Would like to be able to safely ride my bike to the grocery store.

We need more greenways and bike lanes, please.

More people ride when there are other riders on scheduled rides...they not only ﬁnd safety in numbers, but also get

a warm social experience with caring, helpful participants.

Agenda

68 HENDERSONVILLE BICYCLE PLAN

CHAPTER 6: APPENDIX

In 1999, I participated in “Bike to School Day.” My route was 8 miles down Hwy 176 and into town. Some other

students rode from their house less than .5 miles away. Folks thought I was crazy. I live in Carrboro, NC now and

see the difference the “bicycle-friendly” designation makes to a community. It’s awesome to see a focus on bicycle

facilities in the less privileged areas of town.

To create an effective cycling culture in Hendersonville, there needs to be a network of connected bike routes that

go to useful points of interest.

We bicycle to bridge and back and sometimes downtown.

Biking on most roads is cramped and dangerous.

More trail systems linking downtown with other areas and parks would be great!

Trafﬁc is horrible. I walked from my ofﬁce to the Post Ofﬁce and almost got hit twice. One car ran a red light and

another made a left hand turn as I was stepping out in the street to cross.

Hendersonville has the potential to be a vibrant biking community. I would like to see more greenways and paths

connecting people to parts of town without the need for a car.

I bike recreationally in Hendersonville and stick to roads I feel safe on but I don’t ride to work, shopping, etc.,

because those roads are not user friendly.

We need some real, well demarcated bike lanes on main streets and highways-25, 176, 191, and 64. It won’t happen

unless there are actual shoulders with room for cyclists added to our roads (which invariably have low, soft shoulders

if any do exist). They need paving and bright markings. Of course this would be very expensive and the chances of

our legislators or DOT spending the required funds are in about the 5% range....A more realistic alternative is the

actual realization of the Ecusta Trail west and extension of the Oklawaha Trail way past Beverly Mills north.

Safe biking in Henderson County and Hendersonville is very important to me. The advent of the Ecusta Trail was one

of the speciﬁc reasons we bought our home here and it will be the reason we move and sell or convert our home

to rental property if the railway is reactivated. I have increased my biking since moving here and ﬁnd motorists to be

very respectful increasing my sense of safety. I am 68 years old and my health and ﬁtness is probably better now

than while in my 40s. We often ride downtown for lunch and dinner and I would do my shopping at Ingles and Fresh

Market by bike if I could do so safely. Greenway development IS Economic Development. In the simplest terms,

quality of life and recreation is why people visit Hendersonville and in our case, move to Hendersonville.

Bicycle racks in downtown are hard to ﬁnd. Riding on the serpentine Main Street is dangerous, but necessary if a

biker goes downtown.

Council Action

The Downtown Main Street Advisory Committee is recommending that the City Council consider making a number of

adjustments to the City Ordinance governing sidewalk dining in the central business district. The Committee has

conducted two public hearing with existing outdoor dining permit holders along with presenting initial thoughts to Council

for feedback last April.

The review was initiated following feedback from the community at large, a recognition of the growth in the popularity of

outdoor dining and research into the approach taken in other municipalities. The recommendations fall into 4 primary

categories which are 1) Outdoor Dining Permit Fee, 2) Pedestrian Walkway Width, 3) Barricade and Furniture Materials &

4) Maintenance Standards.

N/A

I move that we adopt an ordinance amending Section 46-86 of the Code of Ordinances pertaining to Sidewalk Dining in

the Central Business District.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Agenda

HENDERSONVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT

It is my privilege to present the 2017 Hendersonville Fire

Department’s Annual Report to Mayor Barbara Volk, respected

members of the City Council, City Management, and the Citizens of

Hendersonville. The 2017 report will provide you with a written

and visual review of the accomplishments and statistical data for

the 2017 calendar year as well as an opportunity to look into the

future as we continue to improve the level of service our

department delivers to the City of Hendersonville.

The Hendersonville Fire Department is committed to running a

fiscally responsible organization while providing the highest quality fire, emergency medical,

rescue, and educational services to our growing community.

The Hendersonville Fire Department achieved a major milestone this year by reducing our public

protection classification rating through the Department of Insurance – Office of State Fire

Marshal. This process evaluated key areas related to community risk reduction, water supply,

emergency communications, and the overall capabilities of the fire department. With our

organization now having a Class 3 rating, many residential, commercial, industrial, and business

properties will see reductions in their insurance premiums due to the hard-work and dedication

from your Fire Department and the Hendersonville Water & Sewer Department.

Continuous improvement is our focus for 2018 and we will continue to develop and refine our

strategic plan which will provide a roadmap for improvement as identified by internal as well as

external stakeholders.

I would like to thank the members of the Hendersonville Fire Department for their unwavering

support, professionalism, and dedication for what they do on a daily basis. We will continue to

advocate for progress and growth in our Department and throughout the City of Hendersonville.

Stay Safe,

Joseph M. Vindigni

HENDERSONVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Operations division has 27 full-time personnel that operate on a modified L.A. schedule

and performs various functions including fire mitigation, emergency medical services,

hazardous material operations, and specialized rescue. The Operations Division responded to

4,768 call for service in 2017 which is a 1.9% increase from 2016 and a 17.4% increase from

2015. This increase is

minor due to

operational changes

within the

department that

reduced the amount

of calls related to

urgent care facilities.

Medical related incidents and motor vehicle accidents account for 70%

of all the calls for service with the remaining 30% related to fires,

alarms, service calls, hazardous materials incidents, and special weather related incidents. The

City of Hendersonville also has simultaneous emergency calls occurring 37% of the time due to

our extremely high call volume.

OPERATIONS

Agenda

HENDERSONVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Hendersonville Fire Department strives to provide its members with high quality training

to ensure safe and efficient practices while operating on an emergency scene. The

department currently does not have a

training division and therefore all training is

coordinated by company officers and the

fire department Administration.

Firefighters respond to a wide variety of emergency

calls and need to be ready at a moment’s notice to

respond in an effective way that helps those in

need while keeping themselves safe when in

harm’s way. Members attended over 12,300 hours

of training in 2017 which was a 17% increase from

the year prior.
