Developer proposes Joshua Meadows-style expansion; residents raise fence and drainage concerns
Summary
A developer representative said the plan is to extend housing like Joshua Meadows, with lot sizes ranging from about 90 to 125 feet and Sandlin likely to build. Residents asked whether the new area would have the same open-concept fencing and whether stormwater would be managed through a culvert and detention tied to county infrastructure.
A developer representative described plans to extend housing consistent with Joshua Meadows and said the new lots would be similar in character to the existing neighborhood.
The developer representative said, "It it would be more of the same. I mean, the idea is to just extend this more of what, Joshua Meadows is." He added that Joshua Meadows lots are "at a 2 thirds of an acre" and that some proposed lots would be "more, square" with widths of about "90 feet, some that are a hundred and some that are 1 25." He said Sandlin is the most likely builder for the project and that the fencing "would be consistent with what Joshua Meadows is."
Residents asked whether the new subdivision would be an "open concept neighborhood like Joshua Meadows now with the no privacy fences, the, wrought iron fences, or the, PVC type fence for an open concept rather than the wood fences?" (Resident 2). The developer representative said the project team would prefer the new area be included in the Joshua Meadows homeowners association but that annexation is not required: "we would need to get the, you know, the HOA board to, you know, technically annex it into the Joshua Meadows HOA ... If not, it may have its own separate HOA, but regardless, it would be it would be consistent."
On construction timing, the developer representative said staff are analyzing whether to develop both parcels together and that in the current phase "Sandlin is building about a, about a home a month or selling about a home a month right now." He said he had met with "Scott" recently to discuss the scenario.
Residents also raised stormwater concerns. A resident asked, "Where is the stormwater prevention on? Is that gonna be down there in 1 or 1 x right at the front?" The developer representative described existing drainage and planned tie-ins: "There's a there's a low area there... there's gonna be a, a a box culvert that goes under Quail Hollow and then ties into the county road, culvert. And then as part of this, you know, if we integrate this this property in, we may grade phase 4 out just slightly different to make that water, you know, cross under, into that culvert a little bit better ... the majority of this water for this property actually goes... to the creek on the east side, so not even into that same drainage basin."
No formal vote or decision was recorded in the provided excerpt; the developer said work is ongoing and that an analysis is underway to determine timing and possible annexation into the Joshua Meadows HOA.
