F’ville to consider Pye Lake rezoning

A rezoning tops the Oct. 6 agenda of the Fayetteville City Council. The request is by Scarbrough and Rolader developers to develop Pye Lake Estates off Hood Avenue.

Council members will also consider awarding a storm-water culvert bid and the acceptance of 18.54 acres in Beaverbrook subdivision donated as open space.

The request, asking that the current R-22 zoning be changed to R-22 PUD for the Pye Lake development of 12 residential lots, calls for a minimum lot area of 22,500 square feet and a minimum house size of 2,300 square feet with a minimum of 1,200 square feet on the first floor.

Per the development agreement between Harriet Pye Parham, Scarbrough and Rolader and the city of Fayetteville, Pye Lake Drive will be constructed and paved to intersect Hood Avenue, City Planner Eldridge Gunn said in Sept. 1 memo.

Pye Lake Drive will be constructed and paved and made to intersect with the gravel road at the southernmost point adjacent to lot 13 as shown on the plat. Parham or Scarbrough and Rolader will maintain the existing gravel road until such time as the Scarbrough and Rolader work is completed and accepted by the city, Gunn said.

Under new business, the council will consider recommendation for awarding a bid for the storm-water culvert project. City Engineer Don Easterbrook said Sept. 23 that Ronnie K. Jones was low bidder for the proposal. Bids for the 12 projects ranged from $1,622,564.50 to $2,790,645.69.

Easterbrook said he recommended against awarding the portion of the bid involving two culverts along Cornwallis Way because the city is awaiting a decision on the outcome of a grant to address Pye Lake. The culverts on Cornwallis Way are included in the grant proposal, he said.

Easterbrook also asked that council members accept a limited warranty deed from Robert Rolader, specifying that he is donating 18.54 acres as open space in Beaverbrook subdivision. The move will bring the city’s total number of greenspace acres to 65, Easterbrook said.
