Kane Realty held a neighborhood meeting to get input about their four proposed towers nearly 40 stories high around Six Forks Road and Lassiter Mill Road in North Hills.
"I'd have no objection to the development here. It's all been good as far as I'm concerned," said John Duncan, who lives in North Hills.
Others have some hesitation and shared them with the developer during public forums.
"They basically didn't make any changes in their plans. Since we've voiced our concerns and didn't answer any of our questions, they just categorized them. So that was disappointing," said Robin Scavey.
Currently, Kane can build between five and 12 stories tall, but they want to go higher. The towers could be up to 40 stories high if the city approves. The building would be mixed used properties, including retail and residential space.
Neighbors are concerned several factors with more people in the area such as traffic and public safety.
"We need a better plan for getting people in and out of here in an emergency. We need more infrastructure in terms of the sidewalks, the trees. We used to have beautiful trees on this street, and we don't have them anymore. And the fire station, the police department, we don't have what we need to add more people to this area, "said Savey.
Kane Realty shared this statement with ABC11 :
"We're grateful for the thoughtful feedback shared by the Raleigh community and project neighbors throughout this process. To be clear, our rezoning request does not propose any increase in density-the existing density caps will remain the same. Our request is to increase height limits, while keeping the same density caps. This will allow for more functional, thoughtful design within those limits to create public spaces that enhance walkability, accessibility, and everyday use for residents, visitors, and businesses alike."
