A large subdivision, Kinsley, will be on the agenda for a joint public hearing of the Wake Forest Town Board and Planning board on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
The 203 acres on both sides of North Main Street and along Stephen Taylor Road in Franklin County were put together for the plan from two previous ownerships. There are five parcels of about 65 acres on the west side of North Main formerly owned by Calvin Ray Sr. and his wife and now owned by their children, Calvin Ray Jr. and Mary Ann Hughes. On the east side of North Main in both Wake and Franklin counties are 138 acres or so owned by Owen Wadford before his death and now owned by Site Investments LLC from Knightdale.
The Wake Forest Planning Department has not yet published the agenda and official planning department report so some of the information in this Gazette article may not reflect the current plan.
At last report, Priest Craven & Associates have submitted a plan for a planned unit development (PUD) with 30 phases in the construction schedule for 401 single-family lots and 411 townhouse lots – a total of 812 dwelling units. All the townhouses are to be rear-loaded with driveways and garages in back.
In the last report the Gazette editor has seen, construction was to begin on the west side of North Main on the former Ray property with townhouses only. On the east side on the former Wadford land the plan was for a mix of single-family and townhouse lots.
