Ordinance Approving Additional Duplex Plans for The Villas at Cedar Creek Subdivision (M-3-21)
end
BACKGROUND:
The petitioner, DR Horton, is requesting the approval of new duplex plans within the Villas at Cedar Creek Subdivision, which is west of Route 53 and north of Millsdale Road. Existing zoning is R-3 (one and two family residential) district.
Homebuilder DR Horton is under contract to purchase the remaining 46 undeveloped duplex lots within the Villas at Cedar Creek Subdivision, Unit 1. One and a half story duplex plans were approved in 2005 for the original Villas at Cedar Creek Subdivision (see attached pictures). Eight units (four buildings) were constructed based on these approved plans. It is believed that the residential housing recession stopped the construction of these dwelling units during that time.
DR Horton's new duplex plan proposal includes two new interior selections (see attached plans) that range in size from 1,601 sq. ft. to 1,788 sq. ft. Three to four-bedroom options will be made available with 2.5 baths. Two-car garages will be standard features and basements will be optional to comply with previously built models. Two elevation/combinations will be possible (see attached plans). The petitioner is proposing 8:12 roof pitches and brick wainscotting along the front fa?ade and garage sides to comply with the previously approved annexation agreement.
The new duplex plans have been presented to the Homeowner Association Board for the Villas at Cedar Creek and they have no objections to the new models (see attached letter).
