Along with 30 new homes – 25 single-family and five townhouses – the Wake Forest Inspections Department issued permits for two new commercial buildings and for additions or renovations to existing commercial buildings.
The missing building permit is the one to allow Lidl, the German discount grocery store giant, to build on the 3 acres in the southwest corner where the N.C. 98 Bypass crosses South Main Street. Assistant Planning Director Charlie Yokley says that will not be issued until the town’s Design Review Board approves the design of the new building. The board will meet on Thursday, Oct. 13. Meanwhile, a contractor is completing the clearcutting of all the trees on the lot and the disposal of all the logs, the limbs and the resulting mulch.
A Rainbow Childcare Center will be built on one of the outparcels at the Gateway Commons shopping center on the side close to Heritage Lake Road at 903 Gateway Commons Circle. Engineered Construction Company has the contract for the building. The fees were $37,544.51, the square footage will be 11,420, and the improvement value is $1,475,652.
The retail building Sparkman Construction is building at 1009 Stadium Drive in the Wake Forest Crossing shopping center will be a Jersey Mike’s, a Great Clips and a Kiko Japan. The fees were $29,212.70, the size is 14,800 square feet and the improvement value is $1,650,000.
There were also permits issued to make additions, renovations or restorations at two companies, one the Aldi discount grocery store at 2132 South Main Street. The fees were 4,888, it involves 17,889 square feet and the improvement value is $31,168. Moffat Pipe at 4901 Unicon Drive also received a permit for a small job where the fees were $360, there were 240 square feet involved and the value was $4,000.
The inspectors also issued pre-occupancy permits for the Wake Forest Police Department’s police training facility in a unit at Tarleton Park Business Center, 12335 Wake Union Church Road (another example of how the department needs more room) and for a musical instruments store, Rev E. Organs, at 500 Wait Avenue.
