SUMMARY:Town of Garner: Town Council Regular Meeting
LOCATION:Ronnie S. Williams Council Chambers Garner Town Hall 900 7th Avenue | Garner\, NC 27529
DESCRIPTION:Town Council Regular Meeting\n\nGarner's town council takes up two annexation petitions and a rezoning request\, plus a $5 million incentive deal tied to new development at 0 US Hwy 70 East. E District Phase 1 is asking the town to help fund roads\, greenways\, stormwater work and utility extensions\, repaid through the taxes the project itself generates.

The council also considers a special use permit for 257 apartment units in three buildings near US Hwy 70 and Yeargan Road.\n\nAlso on the agenda: a zoning text amendment implementing the town's comprehensive plan for residential and mixed-use districts\, budget amendments for public art and the White Deer Park inclusive playground\, and surplus vehicle disposal. The rezoning request at 8401 Old Stage Road and the text amendment both get referred to the Planning Commission rather than decided outright.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=aa1a541e-3e7c-41a9-beb6-3147f0ba21d1&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1897

SUMMARY:Town of Garner: Town Council Nominations Committee
LOCATION:Town Hall Training Room Garner Town Hall 900 7th Avenue | Garner\, NC 27529
DESCRIPTION:Town Council Nominations Committee\n\nThis is a routine housekeeping meeting of Garner's Nominations Committee\, which reviews board and commission membership rather than town business. The committee gets a demo of the town's new eScribe board-management software\, then reviews which sitting members on five boards (Board of Adjustment\, Planning Board\, Parks/Recreation & Cultural Resources\, Senior Citizens Advisory Committee\, and Veterans' Committee) are eligible and willing to be reappointed\, and which members on three boards have reached term limits or are otherwise ineligible.\n\nThe committee also reviews the town's file of pending citizen applications for advisory board service\, ahead of filling the vacancies created by those term-limited and departing members. No formal appointments are made at this meeting\; it is a review session ahead of the council acting on nominations later.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=baaae709-a110-45e4-8dcb-3e36d49936c9&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1902

SUMMARY:Town of Garner: Board of Adjustment
LOCATION:Council Conference Room Garner Town Hall 900 7th Avenue | Garner\, NC 27529
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nGarner's Board of Adjustment\, sitting as a quasi-judicial body\, took up two related variance requests on July 23: raising the maximum light pole height from 35 feet to 75 feet at the South Garner Park baseball fields (1210 Poole Drive\, VAR-26-004) and at the Garner Recreation Park baseball fields (221 E Garner Road\, VAR-26-005).
