Tuesday, July 10, the Wake Forest
Planning and Town boards will hear
public comments about the development
and investment plan for the northeast
area of town, and the planning board
will make a recommendation about a
proposed rezoning to allow a fire
station on Forestville Road.
The planning board will also
review the plans for a flex building
behind Porter Paints at 1219 S. Main St.
and a five-building office park on
Brimfield Springs Road at Ligon Mill
Road.
The public hearing on the
northeast plan begins at 7:30 p.m. in
town hall.
Residents, property owners
and interested townspeople helped shape
the Northeast Neighborhood Plan through
group meetings, a citizen advisory
committee, a neighborhood newsletter and
a web site.
The core of the plan is a
set of actions the residents, the town
government, the police department, the
state Department of Transportation and
other local and county agencies should
take. The areas of concern addressed
include recreations, jobs and services
for the area, the redevelopment of the
DuBois Center, safety, transportation,
home improvement and ownership and
community self-image and pride.
The rezoning request by the
Wake Forest Fire Department was
continued from the June meeting to allow
the department to meet with neighbors
who protested the Forestville Road site.
The meeting has been held, Fire Chief
Jerry Swift and fire board members say
the neighbors are satisfied with planned
changes and some will be on the building
committee.
On South Main Street, Shawn
Stecker wants to build a flex building
with up to six bays and a parking lot
behind the Porter Paint building and
next to Young’s Gym. The land is zoned
for conditional use neighborhood
business.
Brimfield Springs Road is an
ambitious name for a partly graded dirt
track leading from the Alderbury Commons
subdivision to the western extension of
Ligon Mill Road. Lloyd Mattingly, acting
as LLOMEL Inc. is proposing a
five-building office park on the north
side of Brimfield Springs. The land,
which has been rezoned three times since
1987, is now conditional use office and
institutional. |
