City Council

Brier Creek residents oppose Firestone

By |

About 30 members of the Brier Creek community turned up at the Raleigh City Council’s Sept. 1 meeting to protest the proposed construction of a Firestone Auto on the outskirts of their neighborhood. “In summary, I feel we have a fundamentally flawed planning situation,” said David Haeussler, who spoke to council on behalf of the Brier Creek homeowners. Plans call for locating the 7,575 foot building on a 1.5 acre site at the intersection of T.W. Alexander and Sporting Club Drives, less than 400 feet from residential homes. Haeussler presented a host of concerns he said were shared by more than 200 Brier Creek residents, including the appearance of the structure and the loud noise and increased traffic it could bring to the planned community.
