From West Newsmagazine: The developer of The Villages at Brightleaf in Wildwood is looking to expand with a potential 34 homes in Town Center.
A Development and Zoning Committee meeting was held on July 24 to review the concept plan for the northeast corner of highways 100 and 109. The site is currently zoned planned commercial and non-urban.
Chris DeGuentz, vice president of development and construction with Fischer & Frichtel Custom Homes, LLC, said that the homes would be similar to those on the western end of The Villages at Brightleaf. Those homes are maintenance-free, detached, single-family villas.
A series of streets would run perpendicular to Taylor Road, so the backs of homes would not be viewed from Taylor, he said.
Architecturally, The Pointe at Brightleaf would have the same villa footprint that was used in The Villages at Brightleaf, offering four different floor models, different elevations, set color scheme palettes and porches that project forward, DeGuentz said.
He added that the symmetrical design leaves a large section of common ground in the middle for a landscaped median with a central entrance from Taylor Road. A lake feature at the opposite end would serve as a detention basin. A walking trail will connect to the city trail at the overpass on Hwy. 109.
