An Update on the Richland Creek Watershed

From a previous post, The Pink Oyster: Wakefield Plantation - Will there be new zoning? the details were highlighted for the re-zoning and protecting the Richland Creek Watershed.

The State has now set a 120-day deadline for the rules pertaining to that watershed. From the article:

"The new rules are designed to protect a possible source of drinking water on the Neuse River at the old Burlington Mills textile plant off Capital Boulevard. Nobody is using the water now, though Franklin County has expressed interest in tapping it."

The arguement has heated up with the Raleigh Officials stating that it makes no sense to restrict certain rights of property owners to protect a water source that is unlikely to ever be used.

The rules, if passed, would make it harder (in some cases impossible) for residents in Wakefield Plantation, Bedford at Falls River and Falls River to build decks or additions to their homes. Over 4900 residents will be impacted with the decision.

To read the article in it's entirety please read here.

Interesting. If you are a resident in any of the affected areas how do you feel about the upcomiing proposal?

A NEW BLOG! Check It Out!!!

What a fantastic opportunity for me!

I have decided to heed the advice of many as well as pursue a lifelong passion of mine which is to delve more into historic properties! Don't fret - Circa Properties is here for a VERY long time and will assist both buyers and sellers whether they are interested in historic property or not. However, as a side endeavor for me, I will concentrate on historic properties.

With that in mind, I have created a new blog that will allow you to journey with me to some of the most fantastic homes of the century as well as guide you through the maze that is purchasing, restoring and maintaining a historic home!

I hope you enjoy and, as always, I am open to any suggestions, comments or ideas of information that you would like to see.

Please visit What's Your Circa and let me know what you think! Don't forget that there are many other avenues that I offer by way of blogs that will help acquaint you with my area and what I do.

• The Pink Oyster - the original and NEVER to be outdone. Ever wonder where the name came from? Ask my son, Liam, he named it and chose the colors so it will NEVER change!


• Life In Wake Forest or Welcome To My Backyard.... - either one will take you to the most informative blog around for everyday life, special events and interesting information about Wake Forest, NC


• What's YOUR Circa? - The newest in a campaign to assist, educate and highlight the value of historic properties!


• Luxury Raleigh Homes - a blog that highlights some of the finest luxury homes that are offered in the Raleigh area as well as news and trends for luxury homes.


• Carolina Dreamin' - Hip City....No Hassles - a Raleigh-centric blog that I have to admit, has been a little neglected lately. What did you expect? I started my own company and had to live life for a little while so - expect that one to ramp up again shortly.

It's been a whirlwind and I am still hanging on for dear life! However, those of you that know me also know that I wouldn't have it any other way.......
