During a recent government meeting, the president of Heron Bay expressed concerns regarding the development plans proposed by Toll Brothers, emphasizing a lack of communication and collaboration between the developer and the community. The president noted that despite a meeting six months prior, there has been no engagement from Toll Brothers, leaving residents feeling uninformed and apprehensive about the project.

Residents voiced their desire for a more aesthetically diverse architectural style, criticizing the proposed designs for being too uniform and reminiscent of developments in California and Arizona. The president highlighted the importance of maintaining variety in color and design within the community, referencing an existing architectural review manual that aims to prevent uniformity in home colors.

Concerns were also raised about the placement of a monument sign for the development, with suggestions to relocate it to avoid obstructing sightlines for drivers. Additionally, the president pointed out the need for a land transfer to facilitate the entrance to the Toll Brothers development, as the current land is owned by the Heron Bay community.

Another resident from Bay Cove questioned the zoning classification of the proposed development, comparing it to existing neighborhoods and expressing worries about the density and height of the new homes. The resident argued that the proposed two-story homes would create inadequate sunlight exposure for neighboring properties, potentially leading to issues with mold and mildew.

Overall, the meeting underscored significant community concerns regarding the proposed development, particularly in terms of architectural style, communication with the developer, and the impact on existing neighborhoods. The discussions highlighted the need for further dialogue between Toll Brothers and the Heron Bay community to address these issues effectively.
