[Fwd: UDO Advisory Group]

by Mark Turner

Phil sent this yesterday when I was out and it got caught in the mailing list software. Apologies for the delay in sending it out. This list was mistakenly configured to bounce any messages sent to it with the list name in the bcc. That has since been corrected so this problem should not happen again. Regards, Mark -------- Original Message -------- Subject: UDO Advisory Group Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:29:15 -0500 From: Philip W Poe <PWPoe(a)att.net> To: Philip W Poe <PWPoe(a)att.net> The initial meeting of the UDO Advisory Group (UDOAG) will take place tomorrow (Jan 27), 4 – 6:00 PM, at the Urban Design Center, 133 Fayetteville Street.

Both events and all future meetings of the UDOAG are open to the public. Whenever possible, I hope you will attend. After the UDOAG has its orientation tomorrow, I will be looking for key contacts from different CACs / neighborhoods to work with me during the rewrite of the development regulations.

Possible water meter thefts

by Mark Turner

Hey folks, I noticed on a walk around my neighborhood yesterday that some homes and businesses are missing their water meters. At least one home in the 1200 block of Brookside was missing its meter yesterday afternoon, the one at the vacant daycare at 808 Edmund Street is missing, and six are missing from the vacant Shoppes at Brookside at 1000 Brookside Drive. With the exception of the Shoppes meters, it appears these meters were removed in haste. All covers were left open and wires were ripped out in two cases. For this reason I believe this wasn't approved work (the city attorney tends to frown on situations that might create broken ankles). If you see anyone working around water meters, especially around vacant businesses, please call the Public Utilities department at 829-1930 and ask if it is a legitimate service call.

TC-1-10 & TC-2-10 Public Hearing input

by Paul Brant

Fellow RCAC members, I tried as best I could to reflect everyone's input from the RCAC workshop meeting last week on the proposed Text Changes as well as our own NECAC input and personal suggestions in the attached PP presentation provide at the public hearing tonight. If your comments are not reflected or you have different ideas let's bring them forth at tomorrows' RCAC meeting and then send them to Planning or you can do that directly.

Re: [RCAC] [DDNA] Fwd: Check out http://www.raleighnc.gov/portal/server.pt/ga

The first item on the agenda is Z-3-10/Battle Bridge Road, then the text changes. I would guess that the text changes discussion would begin by 6:50 unless there is much opposition to Z-3-10. Along with prohibited conditions in TC-2-10, I have major concerns that the neighborhood meeting does not specify that the CAC chair, or his/her representative, attend the neighborhood meeting. If the neighbors have had no dealings with rezoning cases prior to the neighborhood meeting, they might be taken in by promises that cannot or will not be kept - not always, but we do know that sometimes happens. I think it will take more than my comments tonight to get TC-2-10 sent to the Planning Commission. It is my understanding that tonight the Council and PC are likely to vote to approve TC-1-10 immediately and possibly TC-2-10, too. If TC-2-10 is approved tonight, citizens will be stuck with the expanded list of prohibited zoning conditions. If that happens citizens will have very, very little say so in future rezonings. mbp In a message dated 1/19/2010 2:10:43 P.M.
