What's on this agenda
Wake Forest's Board of Adjustment holds a quasi-judicial public hearing on Franklin Street Townes LLC's appeal of a Notice of Violation issued in April 2024 over the Franklin Street Townes development at 0 Franklin Park Avenue. The 2015 special use permit for the 61-unit townhome development required a pool and clubhouse as open space amenities, but the developer told the town in 2021 it did not intend to build them and never got the required approval to change the plan. The developer, represented by Caroline Iafrate, argues the violation notice is legally deficient, that the town is applying requirements that don't exist, and that a comparable development wasn't held to the same standard, among eight separate claims. Staff's response walks through the case's decade-long history and recommends the board uphold the violation notice as issued.
The board also approves minutes from its May 21 meeting before taking up the case.
