The Plan Commission Thursday night approved final plans for the construction of 79 houses on 33 acres near the southwest corner of Miller and Huntley Roads.
The developer, D.R. Horton Custom Homes, also will install a retaining wall between its subdivision, named Providence Point, and the adjoining Oak Knoll Estates subdivision. The retaining wall is necessary to keep stormwater on the Providence Point property rather than draining onto Oak Knoll Estates, said Mark Hopwood, land development manager for Horton.
Five Oak Knoll Estates residents at Thursday night’s meeting asked for a visual buffer between the two subdivisions. Hopwood said he planned to install 44 trees to act as that buffer.
The developer had to remove 17 trees to raise the level of land in the subdivision, said Hopwood.
