 Auto dealership, neighborhood
business near bypass on agenda

            Tuesday night, Feb. 7, the Wake Forest Planning and Town boards will hold public hearings about two commercial requests.

            Glenn Boyd of Crossroads Ford in Cary will ask for a special use permit to build a car dealership on the former Weavexx site between Capital Boulevard and South Main Street. The buildings have been demolished and the rubble used to fill in the small valley near South Main to make the entire 22.85-acre site usable.

            The plan calls for display parking for 862 for-sale vehicles to be on the Capital Boulevard side. The sales center and service center, two separate buildings, to be closer to South Main.

            Access from Capital Boulevard will be through the shared access driveway to Wake Pointe Shopping Center (Wal-Mart). There is an existing driveway from South Main, and no more will be added.

            Most of the land is zoned industrial with a small portion zoned for highway business.

            The second request will be made by Viking III Associates of Cary for 2.75 acres on Siena Drive south of Lakeview Avenue and north of the N.C. 98 bypass. Viking wants the property rezoned to conditional use neighborhood business to match the adjoining property it owns that fronts on the bypass.

            Planner Ann Ayers is recommending that construction not begin until the bypass is complete and that the two pieces of property be developed in a unified fashion.

            The property in question is next to the Holding Ridge subdivision.

            At this time, it is not clear whether Siena Drive, which continues into the Cimarron subdivision, will be connected and cross the bypass.

            The public hearings begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Channel 10.
