*** Public Notice Regarding May 19 Planning Board Meeting ***

May 4, 2020

 Due to the ongoing situation with the Covid-19 virus, the regularly scheduled May 19 Planning Board meeting will be held virtually on Zoom at 6:00 PM. The Board will consider an application from Graycliff Capital for a proposed 198- unit multi-family residential development on Rutledge Road.

If you have not used Zoom before, you are encouraged to download the application from their website at Zoom.us and try it out prior to the meeting. There is no cost.

Join the meeting through audio only via telephone:

Simply call 1-929-205-6099. When prompted, enter meeting ID#: 844-0010-7357 followed by the pound sign (#). Depending on your carrier, long distance charges may apply.

 Additional Information:

 In the event of unforeseen technological issues on the night of the meeting, there is the possibility that the meeting could be continued to a future date either online once the issues are worked out, or in person once the limits on gatherings is lifted.

The Town’s Zoom subscription allows us to host larger meetings than the basic free versions, however, the capacity of each meeting is 100. This would include Staff, Board Members, the applicants, etc. In the past, our meetings have never had this level of attendance, but if the meeting nears capacity in this online setting, staff will need to “lock” the meeting, to assure that Board members or staff can reenter the meeting in the event that they are dropped during brief internet outages.

We do ask for your patience and understanding as we are all learning this together.   Public input will occur if/when this matter reaches Town Council in public hearing, most likely in July. Contrary to a flier that was distributed, the Town Council will NOT be voting on this matter on June 8.

For this planning board meeting, Staff is requesting that any input, feedback, or comments be submitted IN WRITING, prior to the May 19 meeting date. Staff will provide the Board a summary of input received and it will be attached to the official record. Input can either be emailed to e.rufa@fletchernc.org OR you can mail it to: Town of Fletcher, Attn: Eric Rufa, 300 Old Cane Creek Road, Fletcher, NC 28732.   And if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rufa at (828) 687-3985.  Please click HERE to view the site plan.
