From Call Newspapers: Plans for a proposed 121-home subdivision in South County are on hold after facing pushback from neighbors.
McBride Homes is proposing “The Grove at Grant’s Trail” at 10245 Spokane Drive. The 35.2-acre site is bounded by Green Park city limits to the west and Interstate 55 to the east, and is surrounded primarily by residential zoning.
The plan was first presented to the county Planning Commission in March, where several residents of neighboring subdivisions voiced their concerns with the project, citing increased traffic in their neighborhood, destruction of green space and subdivision access.
According to the proposal documents, the subdivision would be accessed from Jeffleigh Lane on the north side, and Mullally Drive and Spokane Drive on the east side. All three roads access Reavis Barracks Road. The subdivision would not have its own entrance.
The subdivision would be divided into 89 lots featuring the McBride “Bayside series” and 32 featuring the “Heritage series.” The proposal promises extensive common grounds covering 13.04 acres, which would be overseen by the homeowners’ association. Additionally, the development plans to provide access to Grant’s Trail.
Both home series are designed to offer two-car garages and will feature building heights ranging from one to two stories.
The plans for the development have been in limbo since being held by 6th District Councilman Ernie Trakas, R-Oakville, at the council’s May 28 meeting.
