With
no planning issues to consider, the only public hearing for the Wake Forest
Town Board Tuesday night will be about the proposed changes in the stormwater
rules.
The
first step in controlling stormwater, Assistant Town Engineer Scott Miles said
last month, related to quantity. The second step, which the changes address, is
about the quality of the water.
The
town must adopt this post-construction ordinance to be in compliance with
federal regulations. The ordinance to be considered at the public hearing is
taken from the model ordinance developed by the School of Government at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is the minimum required by the
state, Miles said.
Although
passage is required, the commissioners wanted a public hearing. David Camacho
said he wanted people in the building and development business to have a chance
to voice their opinions, and Frank Drake wanted time for Miles to edit the
document for style.
At
the beginning of the meeting that starts at 7 p.m. in town hall, Heather Lee
and Korrell Kanoy with Development Associates will brief the board about the
steps needed to conduct a community survey. The board wants to ask a random
sample of town residents about their levels of satisfaction with town services.
The
commissioners will be asked to approve a $55,700 increase in the fees paid to
Little Diversified to be able to gain silver certification for building in a
number of high performance design features in the new town hall. Those features
would save energy and water and reduce pollution in a number of areas.
They
will also be asked to approve a $141,212.15 contract with Wetherill Engineering
for the preliminary design and surveying to realign Chalks Road to meet the
entrance of Bowling Green subdivision. The work would be done when the state
Department of Transportation replaces two bridges on Jones Dairy Road.
