The Wake Forest Planning Department anticipates there will be consideration of another large subdivision and an apartment complex in the next few months as well as reconsideration of the Averette-Tryon request, according to Jennifer Currin, head of the development services.
The Tryon development team submitted a request for a new public hearing on the Averette subdivision on Nov. 13, Wednesday, just two days before the 45-day window in which to make that request ended. Staff has not received a revised plan for the subdivision. There will be some action about the Averette request at the Tuesday evening, Nov. 19, town board meeting.
The new subdivision is named Kinsley and proposes 764 dwelling units on 203 acres along North Main Street in Wake and Franklin counties. It is case RZ-19-02 and was submitted for review in the planning department on March 4 of this year. Currin expects the hearing will be this winter in December, January or February.
There are five parcels on the west side of North Main Street formerly owned by Calvin Ray S. and his wife and now owned by Calvin Ray Jr. and Mary Ann Hughes. Together the parcels are about 65 acres.
On the east side of North Main Street in Wake County the 58.74 acres were owned by Owen Wadford before his death and are now owned by Site Investments LLC from Knightdale. The rest of the affected acreage, 70 or so acres, is in Franklin County and was also owned by Wadford before his death.
For Kinsley, Priest Craven & Associates submitted a plan for a planned unit development (PUD) with 30 phases in the construction schedule for a mix of townhouses and single-family lots. All the townhouses will be rear-loaded, driveway and garage in the back.
The Legacy Heritage master plan was submitted by WithersRavenel for 303 apartments on 24.35 acres in a rough triangle at the southwest corner of the N.C. 98 Bypass (Dr. Calvin Jones Highway) and Heritage Lake Road intersection with frontage also on Friendship Chapel Road. The land is zoned conditional residential mixed use and conditional highway business, both of which allow apartments. Because there is no rezoning needed this will be a quasi-judicial hearing.
There will also be a quasi-judicial hearing during the winter for the small subdivision near Caddell Street submitted by the Town of Wake Forest to subdivide a small parcel for four or five affordable houses.

There are three pending projects with legislative hearings that have no date: the Star Road commercial planned unit development, an amendment to the Kitchin Farms subdivision plan and the Cottages at Cardinal Hills, 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.
