Future projects–Technical Review Committee
The Technical Review Committee met on July 2, 2020 and reviewed the following:
*The second attempt at the Radford subdivision on Wait Avenue (NC 98) was a new master plan submitted by BNK for 165 dwelling units on 46.97 acres. The applicant wants to rezone the land to conditional urban residential. The case manager is Courtney Jenkins.
*Stewart submitted a plan to construct about 1,600 feet of public greenway in public easements, all part of the master plan for the Willows at Traditions townhouse development. The case manager is Kari Grace, the new planner at the Wake Forest Planning Department.
*This was a rezoning application submitted by CJS to amend the Forbes planned unit development north of the NC 98 bypass, also called Grove 98. Some of the amendments would increase the right-of-way for Ligon Mill Road north of the bypass to be consistent with the new comprehensive transportation plan, request for parking reductions for multi-family buildings and signage changes. Kari Grace is the case manager.
