Stokesdale backs away from trailCouncil questionscitizen supportby GERRI HUNT

STOKESDALE In February 2012, an A&Y Greenway Feasibility Study ac-knowledged the input of several groups, including the Town of Stokesdale, Revitalizing Our Ancestors Dreams in Stokesdale (ROADS) and the Stokesdale Trails, Paths and Right of Way Commit-tee, which together provided five mem-bers to the studys steering committee.

Despite that input, the town is now hesitant to make way for the trail.

Oddly, Stokesdales own Future Land Use Plan from 2007 proposed several trails within town limits. One extends northwest from the Haw River (west of Flatrock Road) and runs along N.C. 158 through down-

town Stokesdale, then travels just north of N.C. 158 as it heads toward Winston-Salem. A second trail fol-lows Troublesome Creek from U.S. 220 and merges into that first trail along Stokesdale Street. A third trail goes north from the Haw River near West Har-rell Road, following a creek to the east of Anthony Road, and meets Kings Creek.

The A&Y Greenway is proposed to follow the original A&Y Railroad as much as possible through Stokesdale and Summerfield.

According to the 2012 feasibility study, leaders from both towns expressed the desire for the A&Y Greenway to go through their down-town areas.

In March 2012, the Town Council voted 3-2 to accept the study, which was to be used as a planning tool. Mayor Randy Braswell and

Councilman Bill Jones voted against it. Braswell said he would vote for the study if it showed a percentage of people who had given permission for the trail to cross on or near their property.

NW GUILFORD Now that semi-trucks transporting twin trailers are still officially prohib-ited from traveling on N.C. 68 through Oak Ridge and Stokes-dale, two questions remain: Why does it continue to happen, and who enforces the law?

Earlier this year, a request to

allow the vehicles on that route prompted an investigation by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

DOT ruled against the re-quest in August, citing excessive truck crash rates and opposition from governments and citizens in northwest Guilford.

Office of State Budget and Management, and its no surprise that all three northwest-area towns have experienced an increase in population since last years figures were released.

The estimated population figures are as of July 1, 2014.

In Oak Ridge, the estimated popula-tion as of July 1, 2013, was 6,786; one year later, that number grew by about 2 percent, to 6,927.

Summerfields estimated popula-tion as of July 1, 2013, was 10,886; in one year that number grew by about 1.6 percent, to 11,067.

And in Stokesdale, the esti-mated population as of July 1, 2013, was 5,373; as of July 1, 2014, that num-ber grew by about 1.6 percent, to 5,457.

For the entire state of North Caro-lina, the estimated population was 9,953,687 as of July 1, 2014, which reflects a .95-percent increase over the previous year.

Town will no longer hold depositsSTOKESDALE The Town of Stokesdale will refund all $200 deposits it holds from citizens who were hoping to hook on to the municipal water line if it ever passed their properties.

Unaware of a 2003 promise to refund deposits in April 2008, in June the town sent certified letters to 53 citizens asking if they preferred that

their deposits continued to be held or refunded.

During the Sept. 10 Town Council meeting, Mayor Randy Braswell ex-plained that during workshops, council members plotted on a map the prop-erties which correspond with deposits

Looking south from N.C. 150, between Henson Forest Drive and Brookbank Road, con-struction paths are getting heavy use near a segment of the future N.C. 68/U.S. 220 Con-nector (which will be signed off as I-73). Scheduled for completion in April 2017, the new 9.4-mile, four-lane interstate will begin at the existing Joseph M. Bryan Boulevard / Airport Parkway interchange, cross over N.C. 68, and end south of U.S. 220 near the Haw River.

Why does NCDOT go outside the state to get highway con-tracts when they have so many

qualified companies in this state? They (out-of-state contractors) often cost more because of overrun contracts, and Yates, Doggett and Apac could do a better job.

Dawn McPherson, a traffic engineer with N.C. Depart-ment of Transportations

Division 7 office in Greensboro, says DOT bids projects to ensure the most competitive pricing is obtained, while allowing multiple businesses to compete for work throughout the state.

It would not be good business prac-tice to exclude a company because they were not located in North Carolina, says McPherson.

We do require all businesses go through a prequalification process to provide services; this helps to ensure busi-nesses bidding on projects have sufficient ability and experience to do the work specified in our contracts, she continues. While Yates, Doggett, and Apac are all qualified contractors here in North Carolina, I am almost certain they would be angered if they were not allowed the opportunity to bid on contracts in other states when and if they chose.

I live in the Abington subdivi-sion, off N.C. 150, in Sum-merfield, where construction

has begun on the N.C. 68/U.S. 220 connector (future I-73) at the end of

Wescott Drive. Our house is at the end of this road and I have watched all the natural barriers being removed. There are no trees or shrubs left at all and it is an eyesore. I would like to know if the state plans to landscape this area in an effort to provide sound protection, privacy and esthetic improvement. It would be wonderful if they began planting now so trees and shrubs would

have time to mature and grow.

According to Brian V. Smith, the NCDOT resident engineer handling this road project,

landscaping wont even be designed until after all of the grading is complete but its too early to know where it will occur.

At this time, we do not have those design plans, he said. [Landscaping] is nor-mally performed at interchange locations.

to see how far from the existing water lines they were located. He said theres no basis to study an expansion to those areas, and such expansion would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Councilmen Frank Bruno and Bill Jones agreed it makes no economic sense to extend to those properties. Councilwoman Vicki White-Lawrence asked how many people want the town to keep their deposits, and Finance Of-ficer Carolyn Joyner replied 21. Coun-cilman Joe Thacker said he has spoken to some of them.

The Town Council made a com-mitment 12 years ago. Yall [plotted the properties on a map] in about 30 minutes; I felt like we needed to spend more time on it, he said. I cant see reversing our course and throwing our hands up.

Council voted 3-2 to refund all

but five deposits; Thacker and White-Lawrence voted against the motion.

Fourteen of the deposits will be sent to the North Carolina Department of State Treasurers unclaimed property fund, because the original residents who paid those deposits have either died or sold the property.

The councils discussion then turned to five people who paid deposits but have not connected to the water line, although it does run past their properties. Council voted 4-1 (Thacker voting no) to send a letter to them, giv-ing them 30 days to connect which will incur the $30.50 monthly avail-ability charge or their $200 will be refunded.

This [is] over tonight, said Bras-well. There will be some people who are upset, but we cant keep managing the same nightmare each week.

CD0026 6/15

A handful of Stokesdale residents surfaced that summer in support of the Greenway, offering easements to farmlands on Flatrock Road and along the old railbed behind an Athens Road house. But more than three years later, Braswell is still looking for supporters of the A&Y Greenway segment which is proposed to meander for more than seven miles through Stokesdale.

I find very little support for it in the community. There may be a huge group that supports it, but I cant find them, he announced during the Sept. 10 Stokesdale Town Council meeting. It troubles him that online maps already show the route through Stokesdale.

Is this community misleading this group of planners? I would like to steer (the trail) east down N.C. 150 or north toward the Dan River, he said.

Oak Ridge, Stokesdales neighbor to the south, marked many proposed trails when it prepared its Future Land Use Plan in 2007, including one following the Haw River; Kernersville is working on trails as well.

Braswell said he doesnt want to be caught off guard by people who may not be upstanding using a trail through local residents front and back yards.

The whole concept was to hike through small towns, not Route 40. This was developed 20, 30 years ago may-be it shouldnt go through here, replied Mayor Pro-Tem Frank Bruno, suggesting that Stokesdale could eventually have a spur coming from Kernersvilles trail. I dont think the economics are here to support it. Its almost like a pass-through to get from point A to point B.

This was a change from Brunos previ-ous vocal support of the A&Y Greenway, which upon completion would be part of North Carolinas 1,000-mile Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST). Hikers are already passing through Stokesdale while using the MST and many are retired and have disposable income.

But last Thursday night, Bruno called the route through Stokesdale a two-

edged sword.

I dont see people seeing a trail coming through and then putting a business here, he said. Would it ben-efit downtown? We dont have anything down there, no bed and breakfast, no outdoor store; there are a couple of restaurants, but not an infrastructure to support people coming through.

Cost is another issue. Construction would be completed in phases, with Stokesdales section estimated at $3 mil-lion. While the state has grants available, federal grants would require the trail to meet Department of Transportation stan-dards, including things like the trail being paved and 10 feet wide. Braswell said he doesnt want to be thy guy who steps up and brings on more debt.

And then theres maintenance. Bruno said the original estimate of $5,000 per mile for maintenance is a ridiculous figure, as most of the work can be done by volunteers.

Land acquisition by eminent domain also concerns Braswell, but Bruno insisted the practice does not pertain to the trail.

The whole concept is to work with the community thats why [the final decision] is in the hands of the towns, said Bruno, suggesting trail people and citizens be invited to meetings and workshops.

A recurring idea during recent Stokesdale Town Council meetings has been to display a map at town hall, where property owners can locate their parcels and color them green or red, to signify acceptance or denial of the trail through their Stokesdale property. The idea has yet to come to fruition.

Jones said he would vote against the Greenway again, suggesting the culture of the town should be protected.

We should step forward and let them know we are not interested in hav-ing it, he said.

Thacker agreed, worried that Green-way planners think Stokesdale is all for it and just waiting for it to come. Council has a right by law to tell them no.

After Mayor Tim Sessoms called the meeting to order, council/staff introduc-tions were made, a prayer was offered, and the meeting agenda was approved.

ANNOUNCEMENTSSessoms announced the annual Ride

to Remember for Alzheimers, which will begin and end at Summerfields First Baptist Church on Sept. 19.

Council member Dena Barnes, who has served on the council since 1997, said she was running for re-election.

Council member Elizabeth McClel-lan is running for mayor. McClellan has four children, and she said when she and her family return home after traveling, she always says she wouldnt want to live anywhere other than Summerfield.

Town Manager Scott Whitaker said a recycle/e-cycle event will be held Oct. 3 at Laughlin Professional Development Center.

The annual Touch-A-Truck event will be held Oct. 10 at Summerfield Athletic Park.

Barnes said the Womens Resource Center, which is celebrating its 20th an-niversary, will sponsor its annual Men Can Cook fundraiser on Oct. 3.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Gail Dunham said it appears salaries

and benefits have doubled since Whita-ker has been employed by the town, but results dont justify those increases.

Regarding spending $9,500 for a water and fire protection study, Dunham said the town was operating outside its scope of authority.

Dunham requested the contract with Stewart, the firm being considered to design a trail, be tabled until after it is available on the towns website for citizens to review. Easements should be procured before the trail is designed, she emphasized, and the question was not

whether people wanted a trail, but what it was going to cost.

Adrian Williamson said he doesnt think the whole Town of Summerfield needs to pay for maintenance of the Vineyard Trail.

Williamson also said he opposed the super highway trail the town was discussing, and wondered about its cost.

Noting he was not against the fire department having access to water for emergencies, Williamson said he just didnt want water lines run to his house. The town paying for a water and fire protection study was out of line, he said, as were many other projected expenses the town has recently discussed.

Town council candidate John ODay said as an Air Force kid, he lived all over the country and settled in Summerfield four and one half years ago with his wife and daughter.

ODay said he and his wife actively volunteer; he serves on the towns Trails and Open Space Committee, has a de-gree in computer science and his profes-sional background is in healthcare IT.

I deal with multi-million-dollar projects and I bring them in on time

and on budget. I can bring some of that professional experience into the govern-ment, he said.

Council candidate Dwayne Crawford said he spoke on behalf of three people who were concerned the council might decide to fund a water and fire protec-tion study at this meeting, based on an earlier recommendation by the Public Safety Committee; since that time, how-ever, the committee has learned things which might affect that decision.

The Town does not have a walking trail problem, Crawford continued, and only a very small group of citizens sup-port a trail through Summerfield.

Council candidate Reece Walker said just as it did with getting a stoplight installed at the Summerfield Road/N.C. 150 intersection and spending $18,000 to install a fence at Summerfield Elementary School so kids wouldnt run out onto Sum-merfield Road for safety reasons the Town needs to consider being proactive about a water and fire protection study.

Id much rather be proactive than reactive, Walker said, adding that those Public Safety Committee members who say funding the study isnt the towns responsibility are right.

But the Town knows there is an issue, Walker said, and studying what needs to be done and what can be done to improve safety would be proactive.

Mayoral candidate Mark Brown spoke of his career in law enforcement

and experience as a long-time town council member and mayor. He retired as Summerfields mayor in December 2013, but after learning Mayor Sessoms was not running for re-election, he de-cided to return to local government to help maintain the tone that has been established and see several projects that are underway come to fruition.

Richard Walsh, a Henson Forest resident, said there was a lack of com-munication between NCDOT and the Henson Forest, Armfield and Henson Farms neighborhoods, that signifi-cant changes have been made to the originally presented I-73 project, and the design-as-you-build process for the interchange off N.C. 150 was unaccept-able. He requested more public discus-sion about the interchange.

Walsh added that NCDOT assured res-idents in and near his neighborhood that trees along N.C. 150 would be preserved to the degree possible, but many trees had been cleared within days afterward.

Joanna Reynolds, also a Henson Forest

resident, echoed Walshs concerns and said she likes Summerfield as it is, while recognizing some changes which are out of the towns control are inevitable.

But there is only a small percentage of people who want to see (the town) grow into something very commercial, said Reynolds, adding that home values in Henson Forest and nearby communities have been plummeting as construction near the future interchange accelerates.

McClellan said she was waiting to hear back from NCDOTs Bobby Norris, who she called after speaking to a Hen-son Forest resident the previous week.

Mayor Sessoms noted that Norris attended the July council meeting for a Q&A session with citizens; Craig McK-inney (with Greensboro Metropolitan Planning Organization) was present at this meeting as well as the July meet-ing, and Sessoms said McKinney could speak privately with residents who were concerned about the I-73 interchange.

Cindy Jones, a native Canadian, said she has lived in North Carolina since

1997. Having worked in human resources for multi-national companies, Jones said one of the Top 5 things that came up during the recruiting process was walking paths, trails, sidewalks and bicycle paths.

Extending the A&Y Greenway will help increase home values, be good for Summerfield and ultimately, be good for the Triad, Jones said.

George Lockhart noted that at least two people had been killed in recent years while riding bicycles on the areas main roads; one of those victims was riding on Brookbank Road in Summerfield and her life may have been spared had there been a nice trail or greenway for her to ride on.

David Raper said trails strengthen the area, create an open feel and make a nice statement about what we value in friendship; trails are an open gesture to the community, and to visitors.

Raper applauded the towns Trails and Open Space Committee and encouraged the town council to move forward with developing a trail through Summerfield.

Beth Kaplan, an avid runner, said every time she runs on the A&Y Green-way, she looks longingly at the pedes-trian tunnel, where the trail ends at U.S. 220, and looks forward to when the trail continues into Summerfield This (decision about the trail) hasnt been easy, but really important decisions arent meant to be easy, she said.

Mindful of how the town spends tax-payer dollars, Dr. Rod Brown, president of Summerfield Merchants Associa-tion, said he thought investing in trails would be a wise measure to take toward promoting healthier lifestyles and com-munity socialization.

Wain White said the Bur-Mil Park and trails were much-used by Sum-merfield residents and encouraged the town to extend the Greenway into Sum-merfield, adding that the investment will be measured in decades.

Jason Webster, a member of the towns trails committee, said one of the first things he did when he and his wife first things he did when he and his wife

TOWN COUNCIL...continued from p. 9

were considering moving to the area was research the available resources.

Referencing the towns comprehen-sive plan, adopted in 2010, he said, Ul-timately we chose to move (to Summer-field) because we saw people who were thinking with foresight they wanted to preserve resources, and have walkability. I think were on the right track with I-73 and the widening of U.S. 220 there is a risk of the community being broken up into pieces; the trail system is our way of bringing people together.

Paul Lambrecht, also a member of the trails committee, acknowledged a trail system would cost a lot of money.

But we have $1.3 billion of property value in Summerfield, so to spend $1 to $5 million to try to preserve that is a fraction (noting that up to 80 percent of that investment could come from local, state and federal funding), he said. Regarding the investment in trails, were not spending enough and not spending it fast enough.

As a trail user, Kelly ODay said the value of extending the A&Y Greenway through Summerfield is understated and Summerfield has a lot of capable and concerned people who value trails.

Danny Nelson Jr. said he often walks through the woods with his 10-year-old daughter.

Woods are much better walking than trails, Nelson said. A paved trail is not environmental thats gussied up en-vironmental. We have hundreds of acres around here that kids can go walking in.

Regarding the towns budget for a wa-ter and fire protection study, Nelson said, If they (the fire department) think they need water here, the county (not the town) should fund that I dont want to see Summerfield become a mini Greensboro.

Whitaker clarified the proposed trail would be 10 feet wide, per NCDOT stan-dards, not 12 feet wide as some had stated.

COMMITTEE REPORTSFinance. Finance Officer Katrina Whitt said the annual audit will get underway the week of Sept. 14.

Historical. Elizabeth Ingram said the com-mittee is finalizing historic marker designs for the Bugle Boy Memorial on N.C. 150 and former Laughlin School on Summer-field Road. Also, two more interviews with World War II veterans are scheduled.

Public Safety. Crawford said the commit-tee would meet on Sept. 16 at 5:30 p.m.

He then asked if Laughlin initially being a black school would be noted on its historic marker, since that was an important part of the schools history. Ingram said the schools history as a Sabbath School will be noted on the marker, and these schools were specifi-cally created to teach the black children to read and write.

Trails and Open Space. Chair Jane Doggett said Town Planner Julie Reid shared a wealth of knowledge at the August meeting. The committee meets again Sept. 23, 6 p.m. at Town Hall.

MANAGERS REPORTVineyards Trail. Regarding an easement agreement between The Vineyards HOA, Guilford County and the Town of Sum-merfield that was recorded in August 2005, Whitaker said he has talked with the previous town manager and The Vineyards developer, and is still gathering info. The goal of the Vineyards Trail, which is adver-tised for public use, was to get bicycliststo N.C. 150 without having to cross overU.S. 220, Whitaker explained.

On behalf of The Vineyards HOA, Bill Chase said he and his neighbors want to resolve the issue of who is re-sponsible for maintaining the trail.

We feel like weve taken on the responsibility (maintenance, liability and insurance) of the trail for the past 10 years, Chase said.

Attorney Jim Secor, filling in for Town Attorney Bill Hill, said documentation regarding the responsibilities of the town versus the county is vague, but

NW GUILFORD COUNTY The commercial real estate market is mak-ing a quiet but steady comeback in the northwest area, and commercial prop-erty owners are seeing a reduction in the number of vacant spaces as well as an interest in adding new facilities.

We talked with developers and offi-cials in all three northwest-area towns to get a handle on the current market, and what we can expect to see in the future.

OAK RIDGEIn the opinion of one of the town's

most well-known commercial develop-ers, the Oak Ridge market has come back to life. Philip Cooke, one of the

Commercial developmenton the upswing

owners of JP Monroe and Weyhill Com-mercial, is seeing the impact of a grow-ing market on his companies existing shopping centers along N.C. 68.

"The market is much healthier than it's been since the crash of 2008," said Cooke. "Oak Ridge Commons is 95 percent full, 68 Place is completely full and we only have one available space in The Village.

While there are two outparcels still available in The Marketplace, Cooke said his company is working with a new busi-ness planning to build on one of those lots.

The fact that Oak Ridge Commons' anchor store, Lowes Foods, recently held a grand opening to reveal its renovated 54,000-square-foot store an addition of over 11,000 square feet gives Cooke

something else to feel good about.

As for the rest of the Commons, Cooke said he's currently talking with two different businesses who want to come into the shopping center, but nothing has been finalized. "Several existing business-es have renewed their leases and we're excited about that," he said.

In looking at new structures, JP Monroe is in the process of designing a building that will occupy the site next to the Village Store, where the Bank of Oak Ridge was originally located. Plans call for an 8,000- to 9,000-square-foot build-ing which would be used by "a couple of service-oriented businesses." Although Cooke said he can't release the names of the interested parties, he confirmed that neither business is a restaurant.

Cooke believes commercial growth will continue its upward trend for the next several years.

"As land has become available we've been aggressive in purchasing it and there are other people in the area who have bought land as well," said Cooke. "I think we'll see a lot of growth in the next five to 10 years."

While Cooke's companies are hum-ming along, Bill Bruce, planning direc-tor for the Town of Oak Ridge, said he has no commercial development plans under review at this time.

"(Commercial development) is getting a lot of interest in the northwest area of the county, but there are special challeng-es because of the lack of municipal water and sewer. Plus, there aren't a whole lot of commercial properties," said Bruce. "We'll see some additional development but it will be measured and controlled.

"I think a lot of larger scale develop-ment will go further down (N.C.) 68, past Leabourne Road, where they can get water and sewer from Greensboro."

Owner Paul Milam said new construction at this site on Summer eld Road across from Summer eld Elementary School could get underway soon.

development is generally healthy, but in a state of flux. Along the U.S. 220 corridor, businesses are struggling with the ongoing construction and changes in elevations, driveway access, disruption of parking, and landscaping. Some own-ers have reported reduced business.

Still, existing shopping centers seem to be at least surviving if not thriving. Whitaker said both Summerfield Village and Summerfield Renaissance Center (anchored by Food Lion) are full. While Summerfield Shopping Center has a few vacancies, those are likely to fill up once the highway construction is complete.

A few miles down the road, at the intersection of N.C. 150 and Lake Brandt Road, Hillsdale Village, which is home to Southern States and several other businesses, is at 100 percent capacity. Purchased by Penn Properties in January, the shopping center is in the process of adding another building with an additional 6,300 square feet.

Will Stevens, president of Penn Prop-erties and an Oak Ridge native, said his company is in the process of acquiring the zoning and permits to begin con-struction on the final phase sometime

in March; he hopes to have the work completed by late next summer.

Hillsdale Village was originally de-signed to have this last phase, but it was never developed, said Stevens.

The expansion will take place to the west of Rio Grande and will include five bays, each with 1,260 square feet. Ste-vens has already attracted interest from potential tenants, many of whom are area residents who would like to move their businesses from Greensboro to be closer to home.

Summerfield Square, which once was home to Golden Antiques, is a notable exception to the thriving shop-ping centers located in this town. The majority of the space is vacant and the center remains in disrepair.

Whitaker said the new owners, who purchased the property several months ago, have proposed a new brick facade for the entire north building.

As much-needed improvements are completed, this should draw solid, long-term tenants back, he said.

Lot rezoned CU-HB in unanimous voteOAK RIDGE At its Aug. 6 meeting, Oak Ridge Town Council unanimously approved developer Jerry Cookes request to rezone a .348-acre lot at the rear of 2202 Oak Ridge Road (adjacent to Josies Boutique) from RS-40 (Residen-tial) to CU-HB (Conditional Use High-way Business). The lot is behind another tract zoned CU-HB which is also owned by Cooke.

The property is in the historic district

and the Historic Preservation Commis-sion confirmed the rezoning would be compatible with the district.

During the public hearing, Philip Cooke spoke on behalf of his father and said after adding the .348-acre tract, the total CU-HB site will be 1.176 acres; the Cookes, who own Oak Ridge Commons shopping center across the street from the property, will extend water and sewer to the site.

For over three decades, the Disney name has been synonymous with fine custom homes. But for Francis and Patty Disney, owners of Disney Construction, their business is about more than just building houses.

Its about a commitment to family their own family, the families of their workers and the families who live in the homes they build.

When we started out, we didnt want to be the biggest. We wanted to be the best we could be, says Patty. For us, that means being a hands-on builder, providing high quality in everything we do and doing it with integrity.

While Francis success can be seen in the number of homes he has built and the satis-fied homeowners who occupy them, he has also been recognized by his peers for his skills and his desire to help others.

Over the years, Francis has collected numerous awards from the Greensboro Build-ers Association, including 1995 Builder of the

Year; in 2014 he received the prestigious Ka-vanagh Cup for his service to the community.

Last year, the couples son, Mark, who is now part of the family business, was named Builder of the Year.

As both a developer and builder, Disney Construction has been involved in some of the areas most distinguished communities, including Foxbury, Riverside, Ridgewood,

Pepper Ridge, Meadow Ridge and The Cottages at Contentment Island Smith Mountain Lake.

Currently, the company is working on developing its newest community, North-Ridge, located in Stokesdale. On the verge of opening its second phase, NorthRidge will eventually have 100 homes.

The upcoming fall Parade of Homes offers

a great opportunity to check out the neigh-borhood. Disney Construction, as well as two other NorthRidge builders, will be inviting people to preview one of their NorthRidge homes. Its really exciting to see this commu-nity come together and were looking forward to showcasing our newest home, says Patty.

Francis and Patty live in Oak Ridge. They have seven children and six grandchildren.

How do I buy a foreclosed property?

Ive had my eye on a house nearby thats under foreclo-sure. Theres a foreclosure

notice on the door and its been vacant for several months. Im interested in finding out more information and possibly purchasing it, but Im not sure who to call. Theres no real estate sign. What is my next step?

The first step is to find out what stage of foreclosure the property is in, says Nancy

Hess, a Realtor with BHHS Yost and Little Realty.

Is the property under notice of fore-closure? Is it in the hands of a substitute trustee? Or, is the first lien holder in ownership position? If you have no idea what any of this means, youll probably want to consult a Realtor or an attorney from the get-go. However, if you enjoy a challenge, you could always start the process on your own.

If you are inclined to do a little

REAL ESTATE Q&Aresearch, this information can usually be found in the public records at the Register of Deeds office, says Hess.

Youll need to contact the county in which the property is located. While a lot of information tax records, deeds, etc. can be found online, in some cases youll have to make a trip to the courthouse. Contact information can usually be found on the recorded notice which is posted at the courthouse.

If the information is available, Hess says you can contact the clearinghouse that is handling the property and its foreclosure. In some cases, they may give you information regarding a sale date or the status of the property. Find-ing the right person to talk to is often the biggest challenge in obtaining this information.

Purchasing a property when its

auctioned on the courthouse steps is an option but comes with a lot of risk. You need to do your homework beforehand and make sure there are no liens on the property. If there are and you purchase the property, those debts become your responsibility.

(Purchasing a foreclosure that hasnt been placed on the market) is a complicated and sometimes lengthy process and not without risks if you are a novice, says Hess. I highly recommend engaging an attorney or a Realtor who specializes in this type of business.

The safest bet is to wait until the property comes on the market.

Flippers almost always wait until the title is clear and the property is in lender ownership before purchasing, says Hess.

or about one-half acre; 35 acres of the property will remain as open space. The all-brick homes will start in the upper $400,000s.

Developer Kevan Combs also has plans for a swimming pool and pool house, to be added at the end of the future Hawkwood Court. All zoning requirements have been met, including setbacks, parking and conformance to the PD-R (Planned Unit Development-Residential) zoning district.

The Oak Ridge Planning and Zon-ing Board voted 6-1 to approve the sketch plan for the amenity site on Aug. 27. Board member Bobbi Baker, who voted against it, expressed con-cern ove
