Developer introduces Briarwood rezoning for 49 single‑family lots; council and residents raise traffic and access concerns
Summary
Drees Homes introduced a rezoning request to allow 49 single‑family detached homes on a 16.4‑acre infill site along County Road 900. Staff and council members flagged driveway separation, left‑turn lane needs and impacts to neighboring yards; residents said a right‑in/right‑out entrance could inconvenience future homeowners.
Drees Homes on Wednesday introduced a request to rezone a 16.4‑acre parcel along County Road 900 — the “Briarwood” or Patel property — from agricultural to R4 to allow up to 49 single‑family detached homes.
Caitlin Dofer, land acquisition manager for Drees Homes, told the Avon Town Council the site has about 250 feet of frontage on County Road 900, an existing perimeter tree line the developer wants to preserve and an existing access easement to the neighbor to the south. “We would like to request our R4 zoning for 49 single family detached lots,” Dofer said. She said the firm plans single‑story, “empty‑nester”‑targeted ranch homes, with average sales price projected around $425,000, about 3.3 acres of open space (roughly 20% of the site) and minimum ground‑floor area of 1,500 square feet.
