May 9: Planning Commission Meeting
Report from Marsha
Presnell-Jennette: Planning Commission
approved the project on Wake Forest Rd where the Weigman's Grocery and a hotel
will be located...beside the shopping center where Trader Joe's is located.
Great discussions among Commission members about pedestrian crossings and
safety for walkers, green space and attractiveness of the upper story of the
parking deck. I made my plea for permeable paving of the streets and an
on-site catchment pond that would be an attractive feature. The plan calls
for the underground holding and filtering stormwater system that gradually
releases rainwater. I was proposing methods of reducing water to be
released into the streams and rivers.
Commission members were attentive and some comments followed about the importance of recognizing there will be more intense rain events and project planners and the City should be re-calculating their storm markers for increased capacity.
The project moves to City Council.
