NECAC<\/u><\/strong> MINUTES<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

April<\/strong> 11,<\/strong> 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

A meeting of the Northeast Citizens Advisory Council (NECAC) was held on Thursday, April 11, 2013, at\u00a0the Marsh Creek Community Center, 3050 New Hope Road, Raleigh. In the absence of the First Vice\u00a0Chair Christopher Allen, Second Vice Chair Paul Brant presided. The meeting was called to order at\u00a07:15pm.<\/p>\n

Parks<\/u><\/strong> and<\/strong> Recreation<\/strong> Report<\/strong><\/u>: Jud Dunlevy reported that the baseball season was underway;\u00a0basketball registration is open; skateboard activities are planned to begin this summer; active adult\u00a0program being developed and suggestions still welcome; dance and fitness class currently available; line\u00a0dancing being considered; soccer program is being developed. Volunteers are being sought to monitor\u00a0the Raleigh Greenway system. Placing location markers along the trail is currently being worked on.<\/p>\n

Police<\/u><\/strong> Report<\/strong><\/u>:\u00a0\u00a0 No police report.<\/p>\n

Community<\/u><\/strong> Services<\/strong> Report<\/strong><\/u>:\u00a0\u00a0 Kevin Smith reported that all funds available for neighborhood projects\u00a0for this year have been expended; however, applications for the next fiscal year, beginning in July, are\u00a0being accepted.<\/p>\n

Minutes<\/u><\/strong>: Secretary Erika Rosenberger noted two corrections to the minutes as published. Both are\u00a0under Neighborhood Reports. One is the correct spelling of Michi Vojta<\/strong>\u2019s name and the other is the\u00a0correct zoning application number, which is Z-4-13<\/strong>. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 With those corrections, the minutes were\u00a0approved.<\/p>\n

Neighborhood<\/u><\/strong> Reports<\/strong><\/u>: Michi Vojta reported that neighbors and area residents who opposed Z-4-13,\u00a0development of the six-acre property on the corner of New Hope and Buffaloe Roads, had attended city\u00a0planning meetings, have registered additional names on petitions, have posted a large \u201cNO\u201d sign on the\u00a0property and generally sought support for their opposition to the construction of a 24\/7-hour gas station\u00a0on the property.<\/p>\n

WRAL and FOX television news had covered the issue including interviews with\u00a0adjoining home\/property owners. The Raleigh News & Observer published two articles regarding the\u00a0case, clearly citing community opposition to the proposed development.<\/p>\n

Vojta encouraged residents to\u00a0keep up the pressure by attending and speaking at city planning meetings, signing and\/or getting others\u00a0to sign petitions (goal is 500 signatures), call or write e-mails to members of the Raleigh City Council\u00a0and Planning Commission, and in whatever means to persuade planners to reject Z-4-13.<\/p>\n

It was\u00a0recognized that the property had been zoned as Neighborhood Business in the Future Land Use map\u00a0and there was little chance that could be changed. Therefore, suggestions of alternate and more\u00a0neighborhood-friendly businesses should be offered as the preferred use of the property \u2013 and examples\u00a0of such businesses offered.<\/p>\n

Nominations<\/u><\/strong> for<\/strong> NECAC<\/strong> office<\/strong><\/u>: The office of Chairperson of the NECAC is vacant. Nominated for\u00a0the Chairperson position was Michi Vojta. Lillian Thompson indicated she would agree to being a vice-chair if Vojta were elected chair. Voting will take place at the May NECAC meeting.<\/p>\n

Other<\/u><\/strong> Business<\/strong><\/u>:\u00a0\u00a0 Dedication of 20 of the 28-mile Neuse River Trail, part of the Capital Area Greenway,\u00a0will be held April 25 at the Anderson Point Park on Rogers Lane off Highway 64 Business.<\/p>\n

Adjournment<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0 The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
