Keller City Council reviews Roseberry development plan for 21 residential lots

The Keller Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on April 8, 2025, focused on the proposed Roseberry development, which aims to create a residential community in Keller, Texas. The plan, presented by Curtis, has undergone several revisions based on feedback from various committees and community members.

Initially, the development was designed to include 34 residential lots, but after consultations with the Development Review Committee (DRC) and the Corridor Committee, the plan was adjusted to feature 21 residential lots, including one for an existing home. The average lot size is approximately 7,000 square feet, aligning with the patio garden townhome future land use designation for the area.

The builder for the project, Drees Custom Homes, has a long-standing presence in Keller, having developed several neighborhoods over the past 30 years. The proposed homes in the Roseberry development are expected to average around 3,500 square feet, with an estimated value of $850,000 each.

Community outreach has been a priority for the developers. They have engaged with neighboring property owners, including those with light industrial zoning, to address concerns about privacy and traffic. A significant modification includes the construction of an 8-foot wooden fence along the northern property line to enhance privacy for both the new residents and the existing industrial facility.

Additionally, the developers have proposed a 6-foot iron fence along the eastern property line adjacent to Keller Harville Elementary School, aiming to create a more welcoming environment for families. Plans also include a sidewalk connection to the school, facilitating safe access for children.

Concerns regarding drainage have been addressed through a proposed grading plan that aims to manage water runoff effectively, reducing the impact on neighboring properties. The developers have committed to maintaining the fencing and landscaping through a homeowners association to ensure the community remains well-kept.

Overall, the Roseberry development plan reflects a collaborative effort to balance residential growth with community needs, addressing concerns from local residents while adhering to city planning guidelines. The next steps will involve further discussions and approvals from the city council as the project moves forward.
