Developer presents Ballantyne concept plan emphasizing green space and life‑cycle housing

At council the development team presented the Ballantyne concept plan for the property on North 42, describing the site’s history and a planning approach that emphasizes a high share of preserved green space and life‑cycle housing types. The presenter said the property "was originally a 140 acre farm that Don Mitchell owned" and described how past dedications and environmental protections shaped the parcel. He told council the current concept anticipates roughly 40% green space and potentially up to 48% when environmental constraints are included.
