Bogey said deeds indicate a party named James Mays (as recorded) was supposed to assume road maintenance under recorded documents in book 38, page 182. He said he understands the road is considered private but cited House Bill 983 — currently in committee, he said — as an example of state-level attention to orphaned or private roads. \"I asked for a quote for a different part of the road, and it came up to $16,000. I obviously cannot pay that right now as well,\" Bogey said, and later reported a separate quote of $29,000 for another stretch.

Bogey also told the board that large delivery vehicles, including FedEx, are nearly bottoming out on the road and that the postmaster may inspect the route and cease delivery if vehicle damage continues. He said the road's condition has caused repeated tire and wheel damage to a family member who lives on the road.

Bogey asked the county to consider enforcement or other assistance. Commissioners acknowledged the presentation, and Commissioner Bennett said he had read Bogey's emails and visited Maynard Manor several times and would look into whether there is an enforceable obligation. No formal action was taken at the meeting.

Bogey told the board he might personally repair a portion of the road if no help is available, and asked for guidance on what actions are permissible if the road is private. Commissioners encouraged follow-up with staff; the county noted that broader state-level legislation and local records may affect options for relief.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Onslow County Board of Commissioners' Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Maynard Manor resident told commissioners the private road is deteriorating, has caused repeated vehicle damage and may affect mail delivery; he sought assistance and cited possible legal records showing private maintenance responsibility.","taxTitle","Onslow County, North Carolina","taxId",4261,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681691,"Sneads Ferry residents tell Onslow commissioners private shooting range is disrupting daily life",990,217000,1207000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171655-e06d5b3a50ca827f12b6f6dfe4e248bd&start=217&end=1207","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171655-e06d5b3a50ca827f12b6f6dfe4e248bd/thumbnail_217000.jpg","/articles/6681691/Onslow-County/North-Carolina/Sneads-Ferry-residents-tell-Onslow-commissioners-private-shooting-range-is-disrupting-daily-life","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681691-a523c69775d652b5699ae01c831f90f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137737&Signature=L7hKYMO43MTc6gnqmXuEtfu4W6GFaS6J7WnqMNTsBZrRDUWF1VdWYJPCbUsYMQzvry4wF-0WATrt9wneO7Vkoz4enguxM3K5CJMXMajuIvHvVw1faF9n6ojHo2-viiQXafwUrOBjJRI-COeH3mS2xlXCH8DdzOBYT8NZxMD46P2oqv2u4Svv7suqUrghXIGtTopKWndwTONPYGLmqYDmetLUt4WFgfxkHXuBfwhGISWqVlJOLaifEiXQcPEyiN5IaqghrNCRoES0dDvePJB1n8nt8NTn2km-7F8se0UAw9K-ZowOA71I2HInMZlNfg8IdC420y62WTfhXd32NIu3QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents of the NC Highway 172 area told the Onslow County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 16 that continuous shooting at a nearby private gun range has made outdoor family life and preschool activities difficult.

Taylor Green, a resident at 1477 NC Highway 172, told the board that the range — described as a membership club the speakers called Bridal Gun Club — fires \"a couple thousand rounds a day\" and that officers and county staff have not resolved the problem. \"I can't sit and drink coffee and watch church on Sunday morning at the house on TV because of gunfire,\" Green said.

Victoria Scott, who also identified her address as 1477 NC Highway 172, told commissioners the range is \"clearly, it's less than 500 feet away from my granddaughter's house\" and said shooting sometimes occurs at night and while preschool children are on a playground. \"I can completely hear them shooting while we're at the preschool, and the children are in the playground,\" Scott said.

Alexis Fretwell, who said she lives immediately behind the range at 1479 NC Highway 172, described not letting her children outside because of the constant noise and said her 3-year-old child with autism can be disturbed by the gunfire. \"Even at nighttime, my bedroom is closest to where they are shooting, and we had to sleep with a noise machine on because it wakes the baby up,\" Fretwell said.

Robert Davis, 1479 (address as stated), told commissioners he sometimes hears firing before 7 a.m. and said the constant shooting makes it difficult to put his child to sleep. \"It's not a good time. Please do something about it,\" he said.

Speakers asked the board to take action or press law enforcement to enforce ordinances. Taylor Green said county staff and the sheriff's office \"can't do anything more than what they're doing,\" and asked the board to look for solutions.

Commissioners acknowledged the speakers and several said they would explore options; no formal action was taken at the meeting. Commissioner comments noted the matter may be difficult to resolve because of limits on county authority and enforcement challenges, but commissioners said they would continue to look for ways to address residents' concerns.","Residents who live on NC Highway 172 told the Onslow County Board of Commissioners that continuous shooting from a nearby private range prevents children from playing outside, wakes infants and disrupts a preschool; speakers asked the county to enforce existing rules.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681696,"Onslow County commissioners approve three rezonings, accept land donation and award $12.36 million renovation contract",236,2849000,3085000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171655-e06d5b3a50ca827f12b6f6dfe4e248bd&start=2849&end=3085","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171655-e06d5b3a50ca827f12b6f6dfe4e248bd/thumbnail_2849000.jpg","/articles/6681696/Onslow-County/North-Carolina/Onslow-County-commissioners-approve-three-rezonings-accept-land-donation-and-award-1236-million-renovation-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681696-c78fb7c7beb446619d9fd95338cda82c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137737&Signature=iE9Vvv9GVLPJtsyDxz~ZZ3axVcTGjqIWN32jw4SUD8fwtoUF6JnM3VZ3o5ylp5XeWB7BGyOmLfvk63RjzS5n-kV7mT5umVtnGd8m2ChafKb0ZmCCI~x3NpdwjHUyySW8~8GVqCkqe~FShMRm1AFTyXrBvuA1GktWL5Osc6Vg58i3xM6Zev2x4hKtS3C-zYqnIEU8Jlbshh6GsPf4lLQ7Yl~~ihSkpc6gwQmXSc-ASOF0-7fbGcFCo2R7zXBUayjZUFsy3XzA7WFb9BtuMYSJ6NFgKLjky9HnSNzLNQd3TMJ1K7b2S3dUCfBx5MJpW-bZwV6zSQfpeh9PZbApueJ6xQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Onslow County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 16 approved three separate rezoning requests, accepted a 171-acre donation located behind the county landfill and awarded a $12,356,800 construction contract for a multipurpose building renovation.

The board approved the Sheffield rezoning (Z-2024-16), the Collins Acres rezoning (PREZ-2024-21) and the Cotton Hill rezoning (PREZ-2024-22) after staff presentations and public hearings. Each item passed on voice votes with no recorded opposition during the meeting.

Planning staff presented each rezoning as a \"downzoning\" request: Sheffield from R-8M to Rural Agriculture (RA); Collins Acres from R-15 to RA across five parcels totaling 58.60 acres; and Cotton Hill from R-15 to RA across two parcels totaling about 134.36 acres. Staff told commissioners that the proposals align with the county's comprehensive plan designations for rural residential or agriculture/forestry and that planning board recommended approval of all three requests.

Also on the agenda, Solid Waste Director Jamie Harrell asked the board to accept a donation of 171 acres from Matt Glover behind the county landfill. Harrell told commissioners the property contains fill material the county can use for daily landfill cover and space for laydown yards; the board voted to accept the donation and authorized the county manager and county attorney to sign required documents.

For capital improvements, county staff recommended awarding the renovation contract for the multipurpose building to Clancy & Theis Construction Company as the lowest responsive bidder. County staff reported five responsible bidders and presented a low bid of $12,356,800; the board voted to award the contract and authorize the chair to sign.

Votes at a glance:
• Rezoning Z-2024-16 (Sheffield): Approved (voice vote; no opposition recorded). Staff presentation: Carter Metcalf. Applicant: Mark Sheffield.
• Rezoning PREZ-2024-21 (Collins Acres): Approved (voice vote; no opposition recorded). Applicant: John L. Pierce/John L. Pierce & Associates; owners: Diversified Investors and Atlantic Construction.

• Multipurpose building renovation contract: Awarded to Clancy & Theis Construction Company for $12,356,800; chair authorized to sign (voice vote; no opposition recorded). Presenter: Warren (county staff).

Each rezoning request included staff analysis of utilities, fire district ISO ratings, school capacity projections and environmental constraints. Commissioners did not record roll-call tallies; motions were made and approved by voice with \"aye\" responses and no recorded \"no\" votes during the meeting.

Commissioners and staff emphasized that the rezoning requests were consistent with the comprehensive plan objectives cited in staff reports and that environmental or infrastructure requirements would be addressed during subsequent development-review processes. The board directed staff to execute standard follow-up documents as part of the approvals.

The board's actions conclude a meeting that also included a public comment period with residents raising separate issues about a private shooting range and private road maintenance.","At its Dec. 16 meeting the Onslow County Board of Commissioners voted to approve three rezoning requests, accepted a 171-acre land gift behind the landfill and awarded a $12,356,800 contract to renovate the multipurpose building.","actionData","errors"]
