Our site plan for the project establishes a road and infrastructure framework that preserves the historic precinct around the Historic House, enhances connectivity of roads and bike/pedestrian paths in town and allows for build out of the rest of the “county island”.  The plan also allows a certain amount of flexibility for the type of housing that can be built, although diversity of unit types and a gradation of density from low to high closer to Highway 133 remains a primary goal of the development team.  The issue of sustainability is addressed in this project by its smart location and non-automobile dependent linkages; by a traditional, walkable neighborhood pattern; and by a commitment to green construction and solar-ready buildings.

Quick Facts:

  • total property size = 10.2 acres
  • preservation of Historic Thompson House
  • 17% of land dedicated to open space
  • 6% of land additionally dedicated to bicycle and pedestrian paths
  • 20% of land additionally dedicated to roads
