A rezoning request for a 15-lot
industrial subdivision will be the only
public hearing Tuesday night, but the
Wake Forest Planning Board will also
review the plan for the last tract in
Heritage Wake Forest.
The industrial subdivision
requested by the engineering firm of
Bass, Nixon, Kennedy will be on 23 acres
owned by Martha Fuller and immediately
south of the historic Jesse Powell house
on the east side of Capital Boulevard
but with no direct access to the
highway. The subdivision will have
access from Unicon Drive and One World
Way off Burlington Mills Road. It will
be to the west of The Body Shop tract
and south of the South Forest Business
Park.
As part of the conditional
use zoning requested, the town planning
staff is recommending the uses will be
limited to office, warehouse,
manufacturing and retail sales with no
concrete or asphalt plants.
The town also hired Wilbur
Smith Associates to do a traffic study
for the affected roads. The study noted
that the state Department of
Transportation has an approved project
to widen Burlington Mills to three lanes
from the Sanford Creek bridge west to
the intersection of One World Way. More
turn lanes and storage for turns are
also recommended.
Construction of the
subdivision is planned to begin in 2007
and be complete in 2009. It will be
called Neuse Industrial Park.
The proposed subdivision on
the last undeveloped tract in Heritage
will be called Heritage Reserve, and it
will be reached by Colonial Club Drive.
The master plan calls for 21
single-family homes on 8.57 acres. The
land was annexed and zoned at R-5
(minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet)
in 2000.
Planner Chad Sary recommends
approval of the plan.
The third agenda item is an
amendment to the development plan for
the Power Secure office and assembly
building on Heritage Trade Drive.
Charles Sites of Raleigh, one of the
members of H&C Holdings which owns the
building, wants to add 25 parking spaces
to the 45 already on site. The plant,
which assembles generators, has 68
employees.
The public hearing before
the planning board and town board will
begin at 7:30 p.m. in town hall on East
Elm Avenue. |
