Lieutenant Chatham told council that North Carolina general statutes (referenced in the meeting as “13 a 2 45”) govern low-speed vehicles and set standards such as daytime-only operation, a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour, operation on roads posted 35 mph or lower, and required equipment such as windshields, reflectors, brakes, headlights and mirrors. He said adopting a town ordinance would not help because the general statute is easier to enforce and better known to judges.

Chatham said the village had received two complaints from separate neighborhoods and that most summertime activity involves travel to and from pools. He described the common enforcement approach: officers typically speak with children and parents and arrange for parents to pick up and remove the cart rather than arresting minors; persistent or severe cases could lead to a juvenile petition, though juvenile courts are busy since the raise-the-age law. He cited extreme examples of injuries in golf-cart incidents elsewhere to underscore risks but said local enforcement usually focuses on education and family intervention.

Chatham advised residents to call police if they observe unsafe operation. The transcript does not reference any ordinance change or formal council direction on golf-cart regulation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village of Clemmons Council meeting July, 14th , 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lieutenant Chatham explained that North Carolina statutes (referenced in the meeting as \"13 a 2 45\") cover low-speed vehicles and that enforcement typically uses state law; officers will usually educate families, return carts to parents and only escalate to juvenile petitions or court in severe or repeated cases.","taxTitle","Village of Clemmons, Forsyth County, North Carolina","taxId",52708,"location","North Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6550761,"Clemmons wins AARP Community Challenge grant to add rapid-flashing pedestrian beacons",131,2147000,2278000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a&start=2147&end=2278","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a/thumbnail_2147000.jpg","/articles/6550761/North-Carolina/Clemmons-wins-AARP-Community-Challenge-grant-to-add-rapid-flashing-pedestrian-beacons","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550761-6b3e2c5f84c358c6f1b7914cd7ce7114/orig.mp4?Expires=1776138838&Signature=FjcndnmOLam6UUjv9NdMr-Qu3Kf8wZm5sDxwj~Ug9YRFpss~QtaKP~830hm7vfXjssh95DPFZbQyNaC62WkZ62kE-BEEYI3jLAlBhPNnpBF42NVKrEdulKfd3kFgZxPQNkrU0roKcVIIs9VF3MKDB9gQV9SF2X73FX56NyhmQepUDGQAOjwAlXbNfy-o0IuR~e5uhTKVSLWJ18Y7LFO2lhSVPtYoVGTfaoYv7umvvLQ5yj4gF8KpIdcf1cOpBvgqA26-B-r5vV41~n4HvGfyOD5Yv-SqQ4o1b1oL3t8kw5NSR1Jg5ILchTEcRzng0H3fzUXuX6q4eEIGjhEyCSlx-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planner Doug Moore told the Village of Clemmons Council on July 14 that the village is a 2025 AARP Community Challenge grant recipient and will receive $20,850 to install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at pedestrian crosswalks.

Moore said the grant-funded beacons will be installed at crosswalks on Stadium Drive near the library and at the crosswalk closer to the elementary school on or near Bingham Drive. He described one beacon that will flash to alert drivers when a pedestrian pushes the button and another that will light the crosswalk at night when activated.

Moore said the project is on an accelerated timeline because the grant must be closed out by mid-December; he has already ordered parts and expects installation to proceed quickly. He identified the grant amount ($20,850) and noted the village will begin installation soon. Planner Caroline Drake and Councilman Taylor were acknowledged as participants in related Vision Zero work.

The transcript does not list specific installation dates, contractors or precise crosswalk coordinates beyond the general locations named. The council congratulated the planning staff for securing the grant.","The Village of Clemmons received a $20,850 AARP Community Challenge grant to install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at crosswalks on Stadium Drive near the library and near the elementary school; parts are ordered and installation must be completed by mid-December to close out the grant.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6550766,"Clemmons awards Village Pointe operations center contract to Davie Construction for $1,983,932",291,1411000,1702000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a&start=1411&end=1702","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a/thumbnail_1411000.jpg","/articles/6550766/North-Carolina/Clemmons-awards-Village-Pointe-operations-center-contract-to-Davie-Construction-for-1983932","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550766-cb95f1dad00c4a6ca86bfb29464bda86/orig.mp4?Expires=1776138838&Signature=VxMJQOwBTfzecBIIV64PYnKt0hQ1GNTIJmY1JYMl~y42wWcfvu2asdF7tGafaqabkU~yxEP4XlEDU7QHSX3iaxb5d-J9JhYMuIEwHLAp~BtyMeWnIghADRLY8Uvz29GkuZfGoLOW4A3kAnEv22Duk2tCbMXNpLU~3huW9~Kr5pciRw1Vny99PjfWXC0fIX68O16Pm85cogishRBIferHy6SDicxRwwYa1jUcsCjt8fMwGgik474NNSPCH~nA4f8VkgPAeOkUqg6Eu4uhJedEpZ9eungaUYtZBn-QDlqCm6G0fFslDzmF1LonrEXHsy-tnzP9DYQWsHp3gXGoilvHoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Clemmons Council unanimously awarded the construction contract for the Village Pointe Operations Center to Davie Construction Company for $1,983,932 at its July 14 meeting.

Manager Gannell told the council that five bids were received and that the lowest overall bidder, WC Construction, included a unit price for removal or relocation of unsuitable soil that was substantially higher than other bidders’ unit prices and that the bidder wanted to change several unit prices after opening. Staff said they discussed the discrepancy with the low bidder but could not reconcile the unit pricing differences and felt it would be unfair for a bidder with knowledge of other unit prices to retain that position.

For that reason, staff recommended awarding the contract to the next-lowest responsible bidder, Davie Construction, with a base bid of $1,983,932. Manager Gannell said rebidding earlier had previously reduced costs by about $200,000 and that funding exists for the project as part of a phased plan for the Village Pointe Lake property. He said the building will provide office space for deputies, parking and public restrooms for events, and will add an on-site security presence. The contract’s construction timeline is 266 days, which staff estimated would put completion in spring 2026.

A councilmember moved to accept Davie Construction’s bid; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. No council member recorded objections in the transcript. The transcript does not include the full bid tabulation or the specific funding source line-item numbers, nor does it record the names of the individual councilmembers who moved or seconded the motion.","After identifying irregular unit pricing in the low bid, staff recommended awarding the Village Pointe Operations Center contract to the next-lowest bidder, Davie Construction, for $1,983,932; council approved the award unanimously and accepted a 266-day construction timeline.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6550771,"Clemmons council adopts minimum housing ordinance for 6049 Sessions Court",122,1278000,1400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a&start=1278&end=1400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a/thumbnail_1278000.jpg","/articles/6550771/North-Carolina/Clemmons-council-adopts-minimum-housing-ordinance-for-6049-Sessions-Court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550771-625164a35481164d577e71ac5068ca12/orig.mp4?Expires=1776138838&Signature=Ab6y4ClA4cfq2mt8mpTIWdldXmFyEs80hpYyf~XsmibB4vmcB2hf3ogkYPG4XnIJsT4bfYjEsXvbSu1a3AxWTkFPdCp7uYDyiAkFV5gaxBk30RIBDL1oMgT0zdw4zRvIIOO9NYKlZaYSm7OEqvQTh3QDsnvLTqUr6TwdsdAdy0QsGlZOJStHbQzicTfW26saAlrJZgudj81Sr4T58U1O8PfEC9IqDBE~njQOMQzSF5oC0DvqKyrhd2G0hhjJpzXwNT894ncus3EWHPjAjgql-lwsAgBS3nJAM7KSMrXm7Mjr3sMy2ML9I7TWqg4UESn~ID5vaXhm1PZYjMBV4Qm7iQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 14 council meeting, the Village of Clemmons adopted a minimum housing ordinance addressing reported code violations at 6049 Sessions Court.

Village attorney Benshoft explained that the property owners had been noticed since January but had not responded to notices, hearings or staff requests. He said the next step under the applicable statutes and town ordinance was adoption of an ordinance to record the code-enforcement action in the register of deeds and to direct staff to abate nuisances and levy fines where appropriate. He recommended the council adopt the ordinance that evening.

A councilmember moved to adopt the minimum housing ordinance for 6049 Sessions Court to be recorded in the Forsyth County registry and indexed in the grantor index in the name of the property owners. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

Attorney Benshoft said further legal action could be brought later if necessary. The transcript does not detail the specific abatement steps, any fine amounts, or a timeline; staff member Vaughn was identified in the presentation as the staff contact to execute the abatement work if the ordinance directed staff to proceed.","The Village of Clemmons Council adopted a minimum housing ordinance ordering abatement actions for a property at 6049 Sessions Court after counsel said owners had not responded to notices since January.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6550776,"Clemmons council approves rezoning for Old Glory townhome project, 4-1",318,930000,1248000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a&start=930&end=1248","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5383468-f973b2be9e12abf9fb7f6e1b5b90ee4a/thumbnail_930000.jpg","/articles/6550776/North-Carolina/Clemmons-council-approves-rezoning-for-Old-Glory-townhome-project-4-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550776-9d14f9043af709554374bafd74257508/orig.mp4?Expires=1776138838&Signature=Lg4epPzduh8Fl4A~-LVZYx724nF8XwrXAczRwY~z0qjcTS1BN-BDiPWPo~Snmp-Jy-kQrU7brGGCaC4zNx4QukwIXVjrcqCF6VEpelTZNHXK7Kc49k1ejUzE9zGj2ihFyjkpKCMioBZgU4RrTzQ4Hf-2v7ySphMhTYsOCp0mBW6RclVW8QKA-t-m1fYZ91SHu2IZ0XfSdMFG-PspwDdKh~MpEBnxuZoelC8MPN5yBy~-U3uLhE0tfwRi22FcPQGuvBM9~RU90sir0kiyvAzf0wGd6K~GGM3CEm3FWRfo7DwxiZULIsHVZQXBB9sgXTVfGaVCyiWaFcxQXrPsk0-FxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On July 14, 2025, the Village of Clemmons Council voted 4-1 to rezone about 13.86 acres on Old Glory Road from RS-15 (residential single-family) to RM-8-S (residential multifamily special) for a proposed townhome development.

The rezoning, listed as zoning docket SZMA-25-2, covers property identified by several PIN numbers and described in the meeting as located about 1,000 feet west of the intersection of Old Glory Road and Lewisville–Clemmons Road. The council adopted a consistency-and-reasonableness statement and approved Ordinance 2025-03 related to the rezoning.

Planner/consultant Thomas presented materials comparing stormwater and impervious-surface outcomes between the proposed townhome project and development of the site at the current RS-15 density. Thomas said the analysis showed the single-family build-out would produce “about 168,000 square feet more impervious surface” at the high end, with a smallest possible difference of about 71,000 square feet. He told council those figures were available for review and recommended approval, saying objective data and correlation studies indicate townhomes generally generate less runoff than RS-15 individual-home development.

Council discussion was brief. After a motion to approve the rezoning and adoption of the ordinance, the council voted; the motion carried 4-1. Councilman Larson recorded a negative vote; the transcript records Larson as the sole dissenting vote.

The council did not record a detailed roll-call of all individual yes votes in the transcript. No amendments to the ordinance were recorded during the meeting, and the public hearing on the rezoning had been closed previously at the June 9 meeting.

Planning materials and the applicant’s stormwater comparisons were referenced in the presentation but not read into the record in full; council members were offered the underlying calculations for review.

What happens next: the ordinance was adopted at the July 14 meeting. The transcript does not specify subsequent procedural steps, conditions or required permitting beyond the ordinance adoption.","The Village of Clemmons Council voted 4-1 to rezone roughly 13.86 acres on Old Glory Road from RS-15 single-family to RM-8-S multifamily special, approving zoning docket SZMA-25-2 and Ordinance 2025-03 after staff presentations saying the townhome plan would reduce impervious surface compared with single-family development.","actionData","errors"]
