Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Wake Forest public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Town-wide Sustainability Plan
A resident says the raw survey and open-house data show habitat loss as residents' top environmental concern, not extreme heat as the consultant's assessment concluded, and wants the town to recheck the data.
Erosion Control Program MOA Update
The town keeps its locally delegated erosion control program — the state Sedimentation Control Commission's updated agreement was approved unanimously, keeping local oversight of construction site runoff rather than relying on the state.
Proposed Environmental Advisory Board
Commissioner Fatmi asked staff to draft an ordinance creating a citizen environmental advisory board, with support from other commissioners, for a future work session.
Pate property conservation easement ownership
The wooded conservation area required by the Pate-Harris rezoning could become Town-owned land managed by the Triangle Land Conservancy. The Town would take on tree-fall liability, so staff wants a 30-foot buffer kept between the easement and backyards.
