Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group, Inc., owner and applicant, has applied for Final Plat approval of property located south of County State Aid Highway 78 and East of Zumbro Avenue as identified in the attached legal description and aerial map/plat plan.
The proposed third addition of Highview Park consists of 42 single family homes. This property is zoned R-1B, Urban Residential Zone. This property is guided Suburban Edge Residential (0.01 – 3 dwelling units per acre), which is consistent with their proposed plat. The developer would propose homes compliant with the design and performance standards for this zoning district.
The applicant is close to completing the first phase of this development and have final platted the 2nd phase which they hope to start soon. Home starts have been strong; therefore, they are now proceeding with their 3rd phase of the project. Forestar is in partnership with D.R. Horton, and will be leading the development of this 3rd phase. They have provided a narrative describing their timeline and details of this development and their partnership with D.R. Horton.
As part of this project, if approved, the developer will continue to provide park dedication fees that the city will utilize to create improvements to Jackson Commons (park located at the southwest corner of CSAH 78 & CSAH 15/Marystown Road). Design of the park improvements has been a joint effort between the city, developer and Jackson Township.
