The Morrlsvllle and Praston Progress, Wednesday, April 24,1986 - 9 New school takes on town’s name It will be called the Morrisville Acad^y. That’s the name town com missioners wCTe told as they ap proved the site plan fcff a new $4.5 million Montessori School to be built on 4.5 acres at Treybrooke Drive and Church Street near N.C. 54. In appoving the plan, the board has required that five feet of sidewalk be constructed along TreylMxx)ke and that a small portion of Church Street also be widened w payment in lieu of widening be m^. Plans call for the new school to house 3- to 14-year-olds and pos sibly high school students. The first phase calls for two buildings which would cover about 7,000 square feet and house 18 classrooms, as well as an 1,100-square-foot ad ministrative area. The school is currently located in a 6,000-square-foot building at the intersection of High House and Old Apex roads in Cary and has been open fw six years. It has 152 shi- dents, ranging in age from infants to fourth graders. Infants and toddlers are expected to remain at the Cary site. The spool’s ownCT, Andrea Uz- zell of the LHU (Laura Holland Uzzell) Foundation, appeared at the meeting and when ad^ by board members what the new school would be named, said the Morris- vDle Academy. "You just won my heart," answered Commissioner C.T. Moore. The campus is to be built in two phases, the second of which is planned in the next couple of years and will include 12 more class rooms, an auditorium/cafeteria, li brary, gym, ballfield, administra tive offices and a media center. It will be on an extra eight acres ad jacent to phase one. Ms. Uzzell said space will be leased if the new facility is not available in the fall. M Rural setting a priority in new apartment compiex After six months of construction, the first tenants have moved into CrossTimbers Apartments and leas ing is under way for the 256 units at the development on Morrisville Parkway opposite Morrisville Elementary School. Set on 32 acres, the seven build ings are accessed by a horseshoe drive and are being developed by Drukker & Falk of Ralei^, the itame firm which built and leased Huntington Apartments located just east of the new development. Re ject construction coorinator Fred Dean said a leasing office has opened on the premises and that phase one includes 86 t^artments as well as a swimming pool which will serve the entire project. Phase two includes 170 units. Dean said one-, two-, and three- bedroom apartments are available as well as two-bedroom, two-story townhouses, adding that all build ings are two stories. "The upper units include screened porches," he said. "The first-floor apartments are enhanced by the space we’ve added between buildings to avoid the crowded look seen in many devel opments." He said CrossTifnbers was designed to take advantage of a rural setting "where it is not un common for deer to be spotted in the backyards." He described it as less dense ctxistruction with fewer than six units per acre. "It was designed to hve a spread-out look, with grassy areas between build ings. "Our studies show people are looking for a choice today. Not all apartment dwellers rent today be cause they have to," he said. "Many want to rent and not be concerned with home-owner problems. The open feeling we’ve provided is an advantage to both." One-bedroom units have 875 square feet, two-bedrooms include 1,115 square feet, and townhouses have 1,525 square feet. The three- bedroom apartments have 1,417 square feet All of the apartments have carpeting, master suites with baths, disposals, self-cleaning ranges, and refrigerators with ice makers. The site cm Morrisville Parkway was chosen because of its con venience to Raleigh-Durham Inter national Airport and the Triangle in general. Rents range from $650 to $1,025 per month. i^AMY Brothers Interior Designs^ RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL DESIGN COMPLETE INTERIOR DESIGN SERUICE • WINDOW TREATMENTS • FURNITURE • WALLPAPER • CARPET • ACCESSORIES CONSULTATIONS BY APPOINTMENTS AMY BROTHERS ALLIED MEMBER ASID OVER 11 YEARS EXPERIENCE 919-552-7022 FAST AND LOW-Jay Willard of Morrisville takes a swing at a pitch delivered by the parks and recreation department’s new pitching machine.
