The Wake Forest Town Board met in a
short closed session at the end of the
regular board meeting Tuesday night to
discuss purchasing the site for the new
town hall, but they returned to the
board room only to adjourn the meeting.
The two possible sites are
the DAB car dealership on East Elm
Avenue between South White Street and
Brooks Street and land in the southwest
corner at the intersection of Brooks
Street and West Owen Avenue. The town
owns the parking lot but would have to
purchase additional land on Brooks: the
Green & Wooten insurance agency and the
coin laundry.
During the regular meeting,
the board appointed Theresa Watkins to a
vacant seat on the cemetery advisory
board.
The board also
-- agreed to pay Kimley Horn
for additional services in overseeing
the construction of the South Main-South
Avenue roundabout and repaving.
-- unanimously approved the
revised erosion and sedimentation
control ordinance which the town will
enforce.
-- accepted annexation
petitions for the convenience store on
Jones Dairy Road, 53 acres off Heritage
Lake Road for an extension of Heritage
North, 19 acres on Rogers Road for a
future subdivision and 2.5 acres near
Burlington Mills Road. Public hearings
about all but the subdivision on Rogers
Road will be held next month. The land
for that subdivision had to have an
annexation petition before the town
could plan and rezone it, Planning
Director Chip Russell said. The petition
will be held until time for the
rezoning and the master plan
consideration. The board also agreed to
provide sewer to the convenience store,
which already has municipal water.
-- agreed to block off two
streets for parties. Spring Street will
be blocked off Aug. 5 from 2 p.m. to
midnight for a family reunion, and
Heritage Garden Street will be blocked
off May 20 from 4 to 8 p.m. for a
neighborhood picnic.
-- approved a contract with
Utility Engineering to plan the new
electric substation. |
