Good morning, Eastsiders!

Our next East CAC meeting will be held on Monday, 21 February 2011 at 7 PM at the Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue.

Monday’s meeting will focus on the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Staff from Raleigh’s Planning Department will be present to discuss the UDO and to conduct an exercise with us to solicit feedback as to how the UDO should be applied to the East CAC area. The UDO will play a HUGE role in how our city develops in the coming years, so it’s crucial the East CAC provides its feedback and guidance in the UDOs creation.

Hope to see you Monday evening at 7!

We will hear from James LeClair, from the city of Raleigh Inspections department, who will provide some cold weather tips. We’ll also hear from Eddie Blair and Hadley Watson on the new activity at the “Shoppes at Brookside” mixed-use development at Glascock and Brookside.

We’ve also just added Detrick D. Clark from Connectinc, Inc. to our agenda. Detrick will talk about the Benefit Bank of North Carolina.

Hope to see you there!

Z-24-10, the convenience store at Poole Road and Norwood, will be heard at the Planning Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, December 14th, at 9 AM in the City Council Chambers. Read the staff evaluation, latest conditions, conditions correspondence, and a follow-up memo for more details.

Also on the agenda is SP-32-10, the proposed New Bern Crossing Hotel across from WakeMed at New Bern Avenue and Milburnie Rd.

New Bern Avenue is a historic gateway and heavily used transportation corridor in Raleigh, but is beginning to show signs of wear. A study of the New Bern Avenue corridor from Swain Street to Wake Medical Center will explore ways to renew the corridor. The preliminary goals are three-fold: (1) to identify ways to improve the appearance of the corridor, (2) to support pedestrian, bicycle and transit uses along the corridor, and (3) to stimulate economic development initiatives and revitalization in the area.

The City of Raleigh will host a public workshop to present the current conditions in the study area and to facilitate a discussion of the issues and opportunities along the New Bern Avenue corridor. Your thoughts about the corridor are important to refining the study’s purpose. We hope that you will attend this workshop to share your ideas and vision for renewing this gateway corridor.

Mark your calendar and plan to participate:

The East CAC will have its November meeting tonight at 7 PM at Lions Park, 516 Dennis Avenue.

We’ll hear our usual inspections, parks, and police news. We’ll then hear from the folks from the Shoppes at Brookside at the corner of Brookside and Glascock, talking to the community about the condos being
finished and the businesses folks would like to have there.

Following that we’ll have our annual holiday social, where you can enjoy some food and meet your neighbors. It should be a great time.

Come on out tonight and bring a neighbor if you can! See you there!
