Averette slated now for March hearing

The latest list of legislative and quasi-judicial public hearings before the town board and planning board updated on January 28 by Jennifer Currin, manager of the Development Department, says the large Averette subdivision will be heard in March.

This will be the second public hearing. The first was on Oct. 1, when the planning board voted seven to one not to recommend approval of the large project planned for 677 single-family homes and 288 townhouses on two-lane roads. Many neighbors objected to the plan.

The town commissioners punted on Oct. 15, continuing questions about the annexation, rezoning and master plan until November. The applicant requested a new hearing in which they would submit revised plans.

According to that new schedule, the planning board will also hear the request for the Cottages at Cardinal Hills and an amendment for the Everly subdivision on Stephen Taylor Road in Franklin County in March.

The Cottages at Cardinal Hills is proposed as 30 residential units in three sections off Cardinal Hills Drive. The houses will have communal parking areas and will be reached by paths. The plan was submitted by Red Line Engineering.

The other large subdivision still being reviewed by the planning department, Kinsley, does not have a date and neither does the Star Road planned unit development that would include some commercial as well as townhouses.

Projected to be heard in either March or April is an amendment to the Kitchin Farms subdivision.

In April or May, Radford Glen could be heard. It is proposed for about 47 acres on the south side of Wait Avenue owned by former mayor George Mackie, the Mackie Family LLC and Glendora Keeton Heirs. The plan calls for 172 single-family lots.

April or May may be the time a small subdivision on Jeanne Street would be heard.

Currin lists April, May or June for a hearing about the Forest Pines Retirement Community on Caveness Farm Avenue.

There will be quasi-judicial hearings for two projects. The first is Caddell Street where a builder wants to divide one larger lot into four lots where he will build four houses. That may be heard in March or April. The Wake Prep Academy slated for the 700 block of Harris Road does not have a date yet.

The Wake Forest Planning Department has begun providing a monthly update of the future public hearings before the planning and town boards with approximate dates for those hearings as well as other information. Readers can find the updates shortly before the monthly planning board meetings by going to the town’s website, clicking first on “Government” and then on “Streaming Media Archives.” There you will find the agendas for the town board work session and the joint hearings before the town and planning boards. The updates are at the end of the planning board agenda.
