Hidden Valley residents sue developer, calling 3 homes on 1 lot illegal (wbtv.com) — Hidden Valley residents in north Charlotte are suing a developer over three townhouses built on a single lot, arguing their neighborhood rules allow only one home per lot.

2. FORECAST: Feeling like fall this week (wsoctv.com) — Expect a much nicer stretch of weather in Charlotte this week, with clearing skies today and afternoon highs in the 70s and low 80s after a cloudy weekend.
