And this evening, uh we're 40 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,239 excited to swear her in officially uh to join our ranks. And I believe Mayor, 41 00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:01,239 you're going to be helping us out with this. 42 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:29,360 And then repeat after me. I do solemnly swear domly swear that I 43 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,919 will support and defend that I will support and defend the Constitution and 44 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,560 laws of the United States the constitution and laws of the United 45 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,800 States and the Constitution and laws of North Carolina 46 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:51,800 and that I will faithfully discharge I will faithfully discharge the duties of 47 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:51,800 my office as police officer 48 00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:57,550 [Applause] 49 00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:04,740 [Applause] 50 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,800 As everyone is making their way back to the scene, I'm going to ask Teddy to 51 00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:30,880 hang tight with me for just a moment. Uh, this is a very important charge that 52 00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:34,160 we make in the presence of these community members, in the presence of 53 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,840 your colleagues, in the presence of these elected officials, that you always 54 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:44,320 be allegant to the five rules. Our mission is about other people. That is 55 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,120 where our loyalty lies. Always be mission-minded. Rule number two, never 56 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,800 betray our core values. Our core values are at the center of who we are. They 57 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,479 identify the things that are most important to us. So, always make sure 58 00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:00,240 that your behavior, your engagement with other people is a reflection of those 59 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,120 things. Rule number three, and this is hard, tell 100% of the truth 100% of the 60 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:08,960 time. It's not easy. It's not always popular. And the truth even has 61 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,199 consequences, but it's always the right thing. Rule number four, remember this 62 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,600 oath. The things that you promised that you would do. By making this public 63 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,720 promise, you uh you are pledging your allegiance not to me, not to an 64 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:26,720 individual, but to values, to ideals, to principles that hold our constitutional 65 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:30,160 republic together. And the rule number five, just give everything your best 66 00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:33,919 effort. And I guarantee you that if you'll do these five things, everything 67 00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:39,520 else has a way of taking care of itself. The job can be thankless sometimes. It's 68 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,600 not always easy, but it's always right. We're proud of you, Teddy. Welcome 69 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,859 aboard. Congratulations. [Applause] 70 00:06:48,310 --> 00:06:52,579 [Applause] 71 00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:02,919 Thank you, Chief.

And hopefully we give them an opportunity to 87 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,240 learn something about what we do.

It's a good field. 92 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,240 You have the opportunity to serve people and I think that's great. So introduce 93 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,599 my interns here this summer.

The town of 173 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:38,240 Nightdale accepts and welcomes people of diverse backgrounds and believes a 174 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:43,760 diverse population leads to a more vibrant community. Nightdale residents 175 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:48,320 should be able to live without fear of prejudice or discrimination and should 176 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:53,520 seek opportunities that champion the civil rights of all people. So 177 00:17:50,880 --> 00:18:00,480 therefore, I, Jessica Day, mayor of the town of Nightdale, do recognize June 178 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:05,280 2025 as Pride Month and encourage all residents to respect and honor our 179 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:10,080 diverse community, and to participate in relevant activities that build dialogue, 180 00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:20,660 strengthen alliance, and advance the equal rights of all individuals. 181 00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:20,660 [Applause] 182 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:28,400 And next is our public comment period. This is a period for anyone here tonight 183 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:35,400 who wishes to speak on an item that is not currently on the agenda. If there 184 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,400 is, you may come forward at this time. 185 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,720 All right. If not, at this time, I'll turn it over to our town clerk, Miss 186 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,720 Smith, to share written comments we have received. 187 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:59,200 Good evening, mayor and members of the council. We received two written 188 00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:03,200 submissions for tonight's public comment period. Since you have all received the 189 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:08,799 comments via email, I'll just briefly summarize. Kendra Browning, 216 Main 190 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:13,280 Street, expressed concerns about the increase in speeding on Main Street and 191 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:17,360 proposed a four-way stop at the intersection of Main Street and 4th 192 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,080 Avenue to make it safer for those walking around Harper Park. We also 193 00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:26,640 received a comment from Kevin Carlson, 212 Main Street, who expressed concerns 194 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,039 regarding speeding and the failure of drivers to stop at the stop sign on Main 195 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,280 Street, noting its proximity to the park. Mr. Mr. Carlson requested a speed 196 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,280 bump or an additional stop sign at the intersection of 4th Avenue and Main 197 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,880 Street. Um, I'd just like to note that the full comments will be included in 198 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:46,039 the official record of the meeting. Thank you. 199 00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:54,240 Thank you, Miss Smith. Next is reports on citizens inquiries. 200 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,240 Are there any reports on citizen inquiries? 201 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:05,360 All right. If not, I'll move the consent agenda. Any questions, comments on the 202 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,960 consent agenda or motion? 203 00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:15,200 I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. Second. All in favor? I. 204 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Any opposed? Majority approves. Motion carries. Next, we will move to our 205 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,280 public hearings. Our first public hearing, AN-2-25, 206 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:26,280 Robertson Crossing annexation. Mr. Lewis. 207 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:37,600 Good evening and thank you mayor and council. Great to see everyone tonight. 208 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,480 Uh the first case that I have to present to you all tonight is AN2-25 209 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:47,679 which is the Robertson Crossing annexation public hearing. Um this is a 210 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:51,760 voluntary petition. It is would be contiguous to the existing uh 211 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:58,000 jurisdiction of Nightdale. The proposed annexation is just over 190 acres um 212 00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:03,360 east of Nightdale Station Park and south of the Nightdale Station neighborhood. 213 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:10,480 Um it is currently agricultural or uh vacant land. Um and the proposed use was 214 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:14,720 recently approved um in April of 2025 for a 668 215 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:19,200 uh lot residential development with 12 acres of commercial and mixeduse parcels 216 00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:24,880 throughout. Here's a look at that master plan. Again, this was just updated um in 217 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:30,080 the last few months uh to add about 2 acres to the site, but overall uh the o 218 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:35,200 original site plan remains the same and the annexation plat of the 900 or 190 219 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:40,400 acres. Um so, as I mentioned, it's a voluntary 220 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:45,520 uh contiguous annexation petition. The town clerk has certified the petition. 221 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:49,520 Um and last month, the joint the public hearing was set for this evening. All 222 00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:54,640 statutory requirements for the public hearing have been met as well. 223 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,919 We included a full breakdown of the cost benefit analysis in our staff report and 224 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:04,480 I'm happy to answer any questions um if you have any about those numbers in the 225 00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:10,000 staff report. Um but here is a look at just a a highlevel uh projection on 226 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:14,400 that. One thing I'll note here is that these numbers do not include any tax 227 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,960 revenue that would be generated from the non-residential parcels throughout. So 228 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,840 this is just looking at the um residential parcels in particular. Um so 229 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,679 this would add uh the development of those would add to the uh revenues as 230 00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:33,440 well. Some other considerations that aren't as 231 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:38,080 easily quantifiable in the plan or in the annexation, but we feel it is 232 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:43,840 important to point out um that this annexation would make improvements to 233 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:48,400 Marshall Drive. um upgrading that from a paved road to a local street with curb, 234 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:53,039 gutter, and sidewalk um and extending utilities down Marshall Drive. Um there 235 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,240 is about one mile of public and private walking trails throughout, including 236 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,120 pedestrian connectivity to Nightdale Station Park and a pedestrian crossing 237 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:05,840 over the railroad tracks that separates the two sides of the site. Um so again, 238 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:10,320 those aren't really quantifiable, but we see them as benefits uh for this 239 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,320 proposal. So happy to answer any questions about the annexation if there 240 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,640 are any. Um after receiving public comment, our recommendation would be uh 241 00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:22,480 to close the public hearing and adopt ordinance 25618-007 242 00:23:20,590 --> 00:23:26,360 [Music] to annex the area. 243 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:34,240 Right. Thank you. I'll bring it up to council. Any questions, 244 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:39,600 comments? Okay. Thank you. 245 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,120 This is a public hearing item. Is there anyone here tonight that wishes to speak 246 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:48,960 on this item? If so, you may come forward this time. Mayor and council 247 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,960 members, uh, my name is Beth Tyos. I'm an attorney with Fox Rothschild and I'm 248 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:57,360 here today on behalf of Robertson Crossing and the Telly Communities. I 249 00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:01,679 have with me Brian Massingel, also sorry, also with the telly communities. 250 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,000 Um, uh, just to ask for your support of the 251 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,120 annexation petition. Um we've been working very closely with your staff uh 252 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:15,760 to compile a complete petition. Um and as we promised as a part of our zoning 253 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,720 um you know that we will be building a community that we hope you will consider 254 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:25,840 to be uh a a positive part of the town of Nightdale. Um which includes our our 255 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:31,039 commitment to uh work with uh the railroad to create an opportunity for a 256 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:35,120 railroad crossing for pedestrian access. U we're we're hopeful that they will 257 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:39,279 will be cooperative as we move forward. Um but we would ask for your support of 258 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:43,279 our annexation petition. And I just wanted to confirm for the 259 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:49,039 record, did you state your address? Oh, I didn't. I'm sorry. It's uh 301 260 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,279 Hillsboro Street in Raleigh. Thank you. 261 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,000 All right. Anyone else that wishes to speak on this item, you may come 262 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:05,600 forward. Just as a reminder, please state your name and address. Be sure to 263 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:09,600 have signed the speaker sheet and uh comments are limited to three minutes. 264 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:16,000 We do have a timer here. My name is Santa Claus. I'm from the Oh, sorry. 265 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:21,200 My name is Roger Howard. My address is 718 Sunline Drive. I wanted to begin by 266 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:26,799 thanking you letting me come back. I've spoken to this group a couple of times 267 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:33,279 in the past. Um I wanted to mention two things. Uh Kevin Lewis is a guy uh who 268 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,919 sent this letter out uh couple weeks ago to that got me here to the meeting. Uh 269 00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:42,559 and I've got great respect for him because he does things the way he says 270 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:48,080 he's going to do. Uh the second thing is that I know another planner uh in my 271 00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:56,080 neighborhood and I like him too. He's got a big dog. Uh so in any event, the 272 00:25:52,159 --> 00:26:03,440 what brought me out tonight is the map that uh Kevin included on the back of 273 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:09,039 this letter for the very first time uh has highlighted in yellow 274 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:15,679 my neighborhood Union Station in Nightdale Station. And I went back and I 275 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:22,480 looked at the original sketch plan and all those other maps and on not a single 276 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:27,760 one of them is Union Station highlighted. And I wonder why you did 277 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:34,520 that, Kevin, because typically planners are they they do stuff for a good 278 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,520 reason. 279 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:40,640 And we can get the questions answered. If you have specific questions, we can 280 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,919 connect you with staff to get those answers. Okay? We could take that 281 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:49,960 comment now and then we could follow up with the questions. So, we'll follow up 282 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,960 later with the qu with the answers. 283 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:57,640 Is there anyone else here tonight that wishes to speak on this item? 284 00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:06,880 If not, thank you for your comments. At this time, I'll turn it over to our town 285 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,679 clerk, Miss Smith, to share written comments that we have received. 286 00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:19,360 Thank you, Mayor Day. We did receive one written comment for this public hearing 287 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:24,720 item. Again, since you've all received the comment via email, I'll just briefly 288 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:29,200 summarize. Shannon Hardy, 606 Hartland Flyer Drive, expressed opposition to 289 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:33,360 A&2-25, citing concerns about H Heartland 290 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:38,080 Flyer's role as an egress for Robertson Crossing. She also noted some traffic 291 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:41,360 issues with Daly's Academy, Nightdale station, and the lofts and the 292 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,279 narrowness of current properties on H Heartland. So, as mentioned earlier this 293 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,360 evening, the full comment will be included in the official record of the 294 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:54,799 meeting. Thank you, Miss Smith. 295 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:59,600 bring it back to council. Any last questions or comments? 296 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:04,240 One one quick and maybe it'll come up in the next um item on the agenda if there 297 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:08,960 will be an opportunity to think about construction traffic and construction 298 00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:12,720 traffic phasing. I think it may be more uh dealt with in the development 299 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,720 agreement. Um that's the next item perhaps. 300 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:19,720 That would be my only comment or question. 301 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:31,440 Um did the highlighting have any hidding 302 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:38,120 hidden meaning? Was there any new impact to the neighborhood as mentioned? No. Um 303 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,120 so 304 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:45,679 um the parcels that are outlined in yellow are the subject parcels for the 305 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:51,600 annexation. The parcels that are shaded in yellow or the uh darker yellow color 306 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:56,080 are parcels that are already in town limits. Um so because they are already 307 00:28:54,559 --> 00:29:00,559 in town limits, they are shaded that yellow following the annexation if it is 308 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:06,679 approved. Um and everything is updated in Wake County IM apps, those parcels 309 00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:06,679 would also be shaded in yellow. 310 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:18,880 Any others? Um so and I guess you got the uh written 311 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:25,840 comment as well. Um I did not understand what it meant. So can you just clarify? 312 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:32,799 Sure. So um there are no changes proposed uh to Hartland Flyer Drive. Um 313 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:37,279 that would be a point of connection as we went through the resoning. We talked 314 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:42,080 about that a lot um because it is a stub street that fronts on this property. Um, 315 00:29:39,919 --> 00:29:44,880 so they are connecting to that, but within the Nightdale station 316 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:49,520 neighborhood, H Heartland Flyer Drive will remain untouched. Um, I also 317 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:53,520 mentioned Marshall Drive is going to be improved. Um, you can see that kind of 318 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:57,279 outlined on the the right hand side of that page. So, in addition to H 319 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:01,360 Heartland Fire Drive, Marshall Drive will point would act as a point of 320 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:06,799 ingress and ingress into the northern side of this neighborhood. Um, and I was 321 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:12,159 planning to also talk about uh phasing and um uh other elements in the uh 322 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:18,120 development agreement public hearing next. So I'll get to that. Thank you. 323 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:27,279 All right. Have no more other questions? Is there a motion to close the public 324 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:31,279 hearing? I'll make a motion to close the public hearing and adopt ordinance 325 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:38,080 25618007 effectively annexing the area. Second. 326 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:42,559 All in favor? I. Any opposed? Majority approves. Motion carries. We'll move to 327 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,080 our second public hearing item, ZMA-16-22, 328 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,799 Robertson Crossing Development Agreement. Mr. Lewis. Great. Thank you 329 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,919 again. Um, again, this is the public hearing for the development agreement. 330 00:30:52,399 --> 00:30:59,840 So, the contract between the town and the developer. Um, and these typically 331 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:05,679 happen concurrently with the annexation. Um, so again, this is 190 acres off of 332 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,399 Robertson Street between uh the Nightdale Station neighborhood. Um, 333 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,640 south of and south of Robertson Street. Uh, it was recently re reszoned to 334 00:31:12,399 --> 00:31:20,480 General Residential 3 and neighborhood mixed use. Um, Beth with Fox Rothschild 335 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:25,919 and the Tally Communities are here as well uh for the development agreement. 336 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:30,880 Um, so again, this is a look at the current zoning uh that was approved for 337 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,720 the overall development and nothing's changed there. Um, to the north is the 338 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:40,159 Nightdale Station neighborhood, Nightale Station Park. Um, points south include 339 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:45,600 the Harper Preserve development um and uh some vacant or agricultural uses 340 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:49,279 there as well. So again, look at the master plan. 341 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:56,640 Again, nothing's changed uh since the master plan was updated last uh the in 342 00:31:53,120 --> 00:32:00,480 the last couple months. Um that was approved in April. U construction 343 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:05,200 drawings have been submitted for phase one, which again I'll go over in just a 344 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,120 moment. U and are nearing approval. Following that, a CIP or construction 345 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:14,720 improvement permit will be issued by the town to allow for construction to begin. 346 00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:19,600 Um and then when it comes time, building permits will be pulled as well. 347 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:25,039 So the agreement includes a number of different uh specifications within it 348 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,480 including uh allocating water and sewer utilities to the development. The 349 00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:31,200 phasing and term of the overall construction of the site, the zoning 350 00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:35,440 conditions and some of the transportation improvements. Um so this 351 00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:39,600 is compliant with the water allocation policy. Again this hasn't changed. Um 352 00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:45,519 all of these requirements are being met with the latest development. Um this is 353 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:50,880 proposed to be developed in six phases. Uh so the first three phases 1 A, 1 B 354 00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:56,320 and 1 C are south of Robertson Street and south of the railroad. Um those 355 00:32:53,600 --> 00:33:01,440 phases would be developed first and then the second three phases phases 2 A, B 356 00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:06,000 and C are north of the railroad and adjacent to Nike station. Um at that 357 00:33:04,159 --> 00:33:11,440 time that's when Marshall Drive would be improved as well. Um and those 358 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:15,840 improvements would be required before issuance of any building permits. um 359 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:20,080 they would be required to make those improvements there. The term of the the 360 00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:25,200 agreement would extend the vested rights period from two years to seven years uh 361 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:30,320 to 2032 to allow for full buildout of the site. 362 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:33,600 All of the zoning conditions um that were previously approved would be 363 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:38,480 carried forward, including the site development allowances, the allowances, 364 00:33:35,919 --> 00:33:43,279 the architectural standards, the design, the actual master plan of the site, the 365 00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:47,440 commercial use standards, um and the transportation improvements. Um one 366 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,399 thing I'll note when it comes to transportation improvements is that um I 367 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,600 mentioned Marshall Drive. There are also other off-site transportation 368 00:33:53,919 --> 00:34:01,519 improvements that are required, including u making safety improvements 369 00:33:57,919 --> 00:34:08,079 to First or to yes, First Avenue and uh Fateville Street. Um not Fateville 370 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,839 Street, Robertson Street. Um and that would be required before again the final 371 00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:16,399 plat is approved unless any deviations are approved by NC DOT. We're having 372 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,200 those discussions. They are ongoing. Um, so as those progress and before any 373 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:26,000 final decisions are made, we'll be sure to inform you all of that. As far as 374 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:32,159 construction traffic goes, again with Marshall Drive, other points um, uh, on 375 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:35,599 Robertson Street uh, providing access to the northern side of the site, um, we'll 376 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:40,159 certainly continue to work with the developer on that. U, but what I will 377 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:45,760 say is that is a later phase of the development. So, um, right now the 378 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:52,320 timing of that is still undetermined. Um, but as we get closer, we'll be able 379 00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:56,960 to share more details with you all. So, again, happy to answer any questions 380 00:34:54,079 --> 00:35:00,880 about the development agreement. um if there are any. But if not, our 381 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,240 recommendation would be to close the public hearing, approve the development 382 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,240 agreement, and adopt ordinance 25-6-18-008. 383 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,560 Thank you. Again, any questions, comments? 384 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:21,119 Just followup comment on construction traffic. I know the northern site, you 385 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:26,079 know, to have access off of Robertson. The southern site has direct access off 386 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:30,560 of Robertson, but north you'd have to cross the railroad track. It would I 387 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:35,359 would really really hope that at least a temporary crossing could be established 388 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:39,359 um you know maybe with signals or something, but you know, not you know 389 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:45,119 love to see a permanent crossing. I think we all would. Uh but I think uh 390 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:49,440 just continue um really pushing for that and making sure that we're doing all we 391 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:52,720 can to limit the amount of traffic going through existing neighborhoods, 392 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:56,720 especially construction traffic. Certainly. Yes. And as Beth mentioned, 393 00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:00,240 we're trying to build that relationship with the railroad company to allow for 394 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:07,680 the pedestrian crossing and then also hopefully um the uh the 395 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:12,720 uh construction traffic crossing. Any 396 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:18,560 other? Well, with that, if there I'll make a 397 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:23,359 motion. No, you're fine. 398 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:26,880 Um, if there's no other questions or comments for council, I will open the 399 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:30,079 floor. This is a public hearing item as well. If there's anyone here tonight 400 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:34,280 that wishes to speak on this item, you may come forward at this time. 401 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:44,800 Mayor and town council members Beth Treyo is just here to answer questions 402 00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:50,800 um with Mr. Masill so and ask for your support. Thank you. Is there anyone else 403 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:55,320 here that wishes to speak on this item? If so, you may come forward at this 404 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,320 time. 405 00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:15,359 Good evening. My name is Sharon Bulock. I live at 626 H Heartland Flyer Drive. 406 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:20,160 Um, I'm a little perplexed and my question is, and I may have to go back, 407 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:26,720 which you all can assist me if I miss something. 408 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:30,560 Um, I like to have a talk with our HOA attorneys 409 00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:40,160 because of some internal questions that we as, uh, my neighbors and I have. 410 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:45,920 uh about the Heartland Street possibly being widened or as you say 411 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:54,720 there won't be any changes you said right to the traffic pattern 412 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:59,119 with machinery and cars and trucks coming through there disrupting our 413 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:05,839 lives. So, I just want to know uh before you 414 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:13,040 close this public meeting, this hearing out, can we at least get a 7-day 415 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:16,040 reprieve to have some dialogue with our attorneys. 416 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,520 And once again, so this is an opportunity for us to hear your public 417 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:28,079 comments, but if you do have questions, we can get your contact information and 418 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:32,000 we can get back to you with responses to your questions. So we will we have your 419 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,440 contact information. You've signed the book with your contact information and 420 00:38:33,839 --> 00:38:39,920 we can get you connected with one of our staff members and we can get some 421 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:43,720 answers to you. Okay. I appreciate. Thank you. Thank you. 422 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:57,599 I'm Cindy Prow. We live at 5104 Marshall Drive. So, we're right at that corner 423 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:02,800 that they're talking about the for the improvements. So, I guess our our main 424 00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:08,000 concern is um our water, our well, we have well water and it's right 425 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:14,000 around the corner real close to the the other road. So, I I'm just hoping 426 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:19,440 someone will be in contact with us as things are moving along. So, we'll know 427 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:25,040 what we're facing as far as if well has to be redone or if we'll be able to hook 428 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:31,240 into city water at that point in time as they're making the improvements. So, I 429 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,240 think that's our biggest concern. 430 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,280 Thank you for sharing that as well. And anytime you have questions, our staff is 431 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,280 very responsive. So if you send any questions in, they'll be able to help 432 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:44,560 you. And we can make sure that we get some 433 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:49,480 contact information so you know who to reach out to. Thank you. 434 00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:56,760 Anyone else here tonight that wishes to speak on this item? 435 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:08,760 All right. If not, then I will bring it back to our council. 436 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,760 Any questions or comments? 437 00:40:09,839 --> 00:40:15,359 Okay, I guess at this time I'll close make a motion to close the public hear 438 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:19,160 and approve development agreement and adopt ordinance 25618008. 439 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:28,880 Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Majority approves. Motion carries. 440 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:32,320 We close that public hearing and that's the last public hearing of item this 441 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,680 evening. Thank you for those that have come this evening. I did want to 442 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,760 reiterate typically during our public hearing items, these are opportunities 443 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:43,280 for us to hear, but we do want to make sure that we answer your questions. So, 444 00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:47,160 we want to get your information so that we can answer those later. 445 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:55,800 Next is old business ZTA1-25 quarterly updates. Miss Goodman. 446 00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:12,800 Good evening again, mayors and members of council. 447 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:18,960 Uh tonight I have the last step for you in our uh ZTA uh or quarterly quarterly 448 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:23,599 amendments. Um if you recall last month we had our joint public hearing and then 449 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:28,560 the LAN use board heard this uh case at their meeting last Monday. 450 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:32,800 So, this text amendment has two focus areas. Um, one is increasing the number 451 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:37,520 of persons permitted at an inhome daycare and then the second one is to 452 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:43,200 align cross-section descriptions across all town plans and policies. So, as you 453 00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:47,280 can see on the slide, chapters 3, 5, 10, and 15 will sections of those chapters 454 00:41:45,839 --> 00:41:51,200 will be revised under this text amendment. 455 00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:57,920 Uh, so as you recall, the joint public hearing was held on May 15th. Um, we did 456 00:41:55,359 --> 00:42:00,720 hear from two inhome daycare operators. They spoke in favor of the text 457 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,319 amendment. They also shared their personal experience with operating one 458 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,359 of these facilities and shared information on their current weight 459 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:12,480 list. Um, we also uh both boards, the town 460 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:17,599 council and the lane use review board had quite a few comments and questions 461 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:21,280 about uh child care homes um and standards in other municipalities. So 462 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:25,119 tonight, I wanted to report back to you what I've learned since the joint public 463 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:31,040 hearing and share with you how those uh proposed UDO changes have changed based 464 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:37,119 on things that I've learned. Um so first up, I wanted to say that um 465 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:42,480 or just remind you that uh the current UDO sets a maximum capacity of five 466 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000 children for inhome daycarees. Um the town does issue a zoning compliance 467 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:52,160 permit for inhome daycarees, but the state is actually the licensing uh 468 00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:55,599 licensing agency. Um and that is overseen by the division of child 469 00:42:53,839 --> 00:43:00,960 development and early education um within the North Carolina Department of 470 00:42:57,359 --> 00:43:06,319 Health and Human Services. Um and they have a current maximum of 10 children, 471 00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:10,560 but that can vary or be fewer uh depending on the actual age range of the 472 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:14,640 children enrolled in those programs. Um, so while licensing home daycarees, they 473 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:19,760 do consult the local municipality's ordinance and only issues a license for 474 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:23,359 what the municipality allows. Um, so since the joint public hearing, 475 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:28,800 I've had several conversations and communications with a lead child care 476 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:34,560 consultant who works for DHS. Um, and she was very helpful and was able to um, 477 00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:39,280 kind of explain the state's regulations. Um she also shared uh that many Wake 478 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:44,400 County municipalities are actually following the up to 10 rule right now. 479 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:49,760 Um the ones who aren't, several allow up to eight and then uh Nightdale and 480 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:53,359 Carrie uh come in at the kind of bottom uh with Carrie allowing six and 481 00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:57,359 Nightdale currently allowing five. Um she also clarified that square footage 482 00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:02,160 and teacher ratios actually don't apply to inhome daycarees. Uh they are only 483 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,760 applicable to daycare centers more in like a commercial operation. 484 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:13,599 So, the elements of inhome daycarees that the UDO currently regulates really 485 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:18,319 are focused on zoning and compatible land uses. Um, so things like hours of 486 00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:23,119 operation, overall maximum capacity, and location of the outdoor play area and 487 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:26,400 fencing requirements. Um, but as you can see on this slide, I'm not going to read 488 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:31,119 all them. The state of North Carolina, they regulate a lot. um everything 489 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:34,880 related to licensing, operations, inspections, number of children allowed 490 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:39,200 per age range, it all falls to the state. 491 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:45,280 So, we're just a small piece of the overall operation of inhome daycarees. 492 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:50,400 Um, so based on the feedback that was provided at the joint public hearing and 493 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:54,480 my discussions with the DHS employee, um, we did make some text changes or 494 00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:58,560 proposing text changes that would remove the reference to five or fewer for 495 00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:02,319 inhome daycarees and we would replace that with a requirement that daycarees 496 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:07,440 uh, comply with all applicable state of North Carolina regulations, including 497 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:11,119 maximum capacity restrictions. Um, this would allow the number to fluctuate 498 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,880 depending on state regulations and wouldn't require additional text 499 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:19,040 amendments in the future if the state changes. Um, and we want to follow suit. 500 00:45:17,359 --> 00:45:22,640 Um, we also added language that clarified that the principal daycare 501 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:26,240 operator must be a full-time resident of the dwelling. Um, it was alluded to in 502 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,800 our ordinance, but we just kind of clarified that language and that follows 503 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:34,880 state requirements as well. Um, and then also we added that one additional 504 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:41,760 non-resident employee is permitted. our current UDO is silent on that and in my 505 00:45:37,359 --> 00:45:45,839 discussions with the DHHS consultant. Um she shared kind of different 506 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:50,079 municipalities follow different uh different ways um but if a ordinance is 507 00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:55,040 silent on it then an extra employee is not allowed. So we um added that one 508 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,640 extra employee would be permitted and that actually follows um and is 509 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,800 consistent with the UDO standards for home occupations. 510 00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:07,920 And then next up, uh the second item, um included in this text amendment is 511 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:12,160 general infrastructure design guidelines. This all falls under chapter 512 00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:17,760 10 of the UDO. Um there's been various changes to uh transportation and 513 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:22,400 infrastructure over the years. We just need to uh update the UDO chapter 10 to 514 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:27,920 make sure that all of the plans, the CTP, um the standard specification 515 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:31,920 manual, the UDO, everything matches. Um, so the text changes include 516 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:35,440 incorporating uh two new crosssections, which are the public utility alley and 517 00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:39,119 the local street with on local street with on street parking. Modifying the 518 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:43,440 text descriptions to make sure it matches. Um, and then updating figures 519 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:47,119 and graphics just so really just a way to make sure everything's consistent 520 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:51,680 across the board. Um, so I also wanted to provide you with 521 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:56,480 an update for or a summary of the land use review board meeting that happened 522 00:46:53,520 --> 00:47:00,319 last uh last Monday on June 9th. uh they did unanimously recommend approval. 523 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:04,160 However, they did have a proposed condition uh attached to their 524 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:10,880 recommendation to increase the non-resident employee allowance to two 525 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:16,079 rather than one as presented by staff. Um so as you all are well aware uh North 526 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:20,160 Carolina general statute does require the governing board to adopt a statement 527 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:26,000 of plan consistency and reasonable reasonleness of action. Um so tonight we 528 00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:30,480 have prepared this recommended advisory statement for you. It says the proposed 529 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:36,000 text amendment is consistent with the night next v2 2035 comprehensive plan 530 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,680 which serves as the foundation for determining effective public policy that 531 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:43,760 provides an ongoing framework for informed and directed public investment 532 00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:47,839 and private development. Further, it is reasonable and in the public interest as 533 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,280 it aligns the town's unified development ordinance with the North Carolina state 534 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:56,160 regulations and clarifies community design standards resulting in a more 535 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:59,760 inclusive, safe, and livable town. So, tonight, uh, staff's recommendation 536 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:05,440 would be after reviewing the request, make a motion to approve ZTA 1-25, 537 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:09,720 adopt the advisory statement, and also adopt ordinance 25618009. 538 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:16,400 and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have. 539 00:48:14,079 --> 00:48:21,200 All right. Thank you, Miss Goodman. Questions or comments? Just a point of 540 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:25,119 clarification. Um, so the staff's presented text amendment tonight does 541 00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:30,319 not include the two employees. It's the one employee as written. It's one um it 542 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:35,119 can also it can be amended depending on the approval. 543 00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:40,000 Yeah. on that point is was that additional person the caregiver um not 544 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:44,079 just for example a family member. It would be 545 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:48,000 an additional caregiver of someone who does not live in the residence and then 546 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:51,920 they would have to meet that that caregiver would also have to meet 547 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:57,440 requirements that the state sets out age and qualifications and everything. I did 548 00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:01,440 wonder if you know sometimes with it depends you 549 00:48:59,839 --> 00:49:05,280 know but sometimes with 10 you know maybe having that extra one maybe that 550 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:09,359 is a good point. I wonder if we could say up to I guess we would say up to two 551 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:13,920 and if they most people maybe just want one they would have to obviously pay 552 00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:20,960 this person so there's economic consideration but um I would probably be 553 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:25,200 okay with up to two. I think 554 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:32,240 I would probably come down on the side of one since that's consistent with what 555 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:36,640 we already allow for home businesses of other types. Uh is that's what I 556 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:40,960 heard in your presentation is the UDO currently in in home business of any 557 00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:46,640 type one additional non-resident employee is what we allow. Um, and so I 558 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:51,599 I start to think about, you know, you've already got additional impact on 559 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:55,839 surrounding neighbors with traffic, particularly with this one, you've got 560 00:49:53,520 --> 00:50:00,319 drop off pickup every day. Um, and then you start to throw in, you know, the 561 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:04,079 additional parking for employees. And I I think I would argue for keeping it 562 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:08,480 consistent with what we've already got other for other uses. 563 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:12,079 Yeah. And we could always come back and revisit it if it's a I mean, just like 564 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:16,599 we're doing now from what the ordinance was. So I would be okay with that. 565 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:27,119 Any more or motion? 566 00:50:25,359 --> 00:50:32,319 All right. I will make a motion to approve ZTA 125 quarterly updates. Adopt 567 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:39,200 the advisory statement and adopt ordinance 25618009. 568 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:44,720 Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Majority approves. Motion carries. Thank 569 00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:51,200 you again. And next we'll move to our advisory board reports. Any reports on 570 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:58,160 any of our advisory board meetings or just so um veterans memorial advisory 571 00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:05,680 board met um they are working on a presentation for um banners for living 572 00:51:03,119 --> 00:51:11,200 uh veterans. Uh that was important goal for them was to honor them. Um, I just 573 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:15,440 want to say I want to say I appreciate Heather's work with them and I 574 00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:19,520 appreciate that they um worked to come to a consensus. Uh, they had some 575 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:22,400 differences of opinion and you know, I was furiously taking notes so I'd be 576 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:28,440 prepared to tell y'all what those differences were and they came to a 577 00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:28,440 consensus and it all worked out. 578 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:39,040 Thank you for that update.
