Developers present mixed-use plan for Quail Ridge Golf Course; neighborhood meeting set for July 15
Summary
Representatives of the Wilder family and DT Design Studio presented a conceptual plan to convert the former Quail Ridge Golf Course into single-family homes and a mixed-use senior-living village; a public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, 5:30–6:30 p.m. at the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center.
Representatives of the Wilder family and Michelle of DT Design Studio presented a conceptual plan to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to redevelop the former Quail Ridge Golf Course into a mixed-use neighborhood, and they announced a public meeting for Tuesday, July 15, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center.
The proposal calls for retaining larger, 10,000-square-foot lots on the outer edges of the property while introducing smaller lots interior to preserve open space, and a northeast “aging in place” area that would include 55-plus single-family residences, and a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, cottages and small retail or service uses. "We're really trying to bring a walkable, multi generational, community here," Michelle of DT Design Studio said during the presentation.
The presenters said market studies informed the concept and that amenities such as walking trails, a pavilion and pickleball courts would be scattered through the neighborhood; the presenters said some of those amenities would be open to the public. They said the project will proceed through the city's special-use-permit process and required public hearings before any zoning or construction approvals.
Board members and presenters discussed financing and timing but did not vote on any entitlement or financing actions. Alderman Rees asked whether a tax-increment financing (TIF) mechanism would accompany the proposal; the presiding officer said city staff and the developer "have been working through that process through the legislators" and that they would have more information when the project is formally presented. Alderman King asked whether organizers could extend the advertised hour if public comment runs long; the presiding officer said accommodations already had been made.
The Wilder family representatives asked neighbors to attend the neighborhood meeting for a fuller presentation and Q&A; they said detailed plans will be submitted as part of the special-use-permit application. No formal action or vote related to the Quail Ridge concept was taken at the meeting.
Plans, market studies and entitlement materials are expected to be posted as part of the special-use-permit filing and presented at the neighborhood meeting and subsequent public hearings.
