Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

The council holds a fourth public hearing on a rezoning for a Duke Energy substation at 940 Morrisville Carpenter Road, a case carried over from three earlier meetings with no vote scheduled yet. The agenda's own attachment list includes electromagnetic-field measurements, a property value report and resident correspondence, but sets no hearing outcome.

A resolution would adopt a townwide ADA transition plan for pedestrian facilities in the public right of way. A stormwater control measure agreement covers two properties on Harris Mill Road, and an ordinance would update the Town Code of Ordinances, with an attached summary comparing it to Wake County's smoking rules. The council also reviews the Smart Shuttle's first year of service and meets in closed session on an attorney-client matter.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
