Thank you for that info. In your opinion, will a piece of this land be removed? Maybe taking the corner off?
So far as I know, the DOT has already taken all the land they need, but I havenāt spoken with anyone about it since the case settled in 2017.

Somewhat of a random thought and mostly useless. With the Kane Peace cranes down, FNB wrapping up and future construction projects a few months out from starting, I think weāll have a period of time where the Fairweather crane will be the only one erect downtown. Granted it wonāt be very tall (150ā maybe?). I wonder how many weāll have by yearās end?

There is probably a better thread for this, but in the vicinity of Fair-weather is this
Weāre tracking that project here.

Iām guessing future residents arenāt able to participate in this.

Exactly. Only current residents have a say in all matters present and future. #sarcasm

Oh, thatās a good point.
In fact, it should only be original Raleigh residents. From the 1700s. So lets start digging them up.

Hereās a new article from the N&O about the impact of design on The Fairweather (and a building in Durham):

Earlier a few of us noted that there is no verification of addresses (at least not at mine) so Iād say just show up and see if they let you speak and vote.

I noticed that at our CAC as well. Hell, the Kane reps probably could have raised their hand and voted and nobody would have noticed.

Kudos for a high bar. Thatās only 8 years worth of people.
I think this is the right thread for this though it may need to be split or at least title changed based on the info I got last night from the Central CAC meeting. Rough notes below:
Z-8-19
3 parcels adding up to .61 acres, from DX-5 > DX-12
Condition would be no rooftop common area to be open between midnight-6a (based on last community meeting feedback about existing noise)
This is the second presentation by this applicant if that wasnāt obvious from the previous note
Hotel could be use
Most likely condos possible combo condo/boutique hotel, more likely hotel based on property value and parking challenges
Zero questions to the applicant except a comment about consideration of affordable housing
Now long discussion about affordable housing
Existing owner, the Urban Ministries asked to sell based on land value
Going to vote: request to amend approval vote to disallow any rooftop amenity was denied
17 yes, 9 no (Iām pretty sure a non-resident ended up voting in this but who knows??)
Given Iām a current resident of North Central CAC and wonāt be a resident of the Central CAC for well over a year I was in attendance simply to observe and did NOT vote.
