Danville planning commission approves Northwood Haven Section 4 final plat, 73 new lots

The Danville Town Planning Commission approved the final plat and construction plan for Northwood Haven Section 4, a 73‑lot subdivision on the north side of 10th Street approximately 900 feet east of Money Lane, on a 7–0 roll call vote.

The developer, Lance McElroy of Arbor Homes, told the commission the section will connect into infrastructure installed in earlier phases and add 73 lots as part of the larger Northwood Haven development. An unidentified staff member said a letter from Joe Miller confirmed the project met drainage requirements and that the plats comply with the project's planned-unit development (PUD) standards.

The staff member also said, and the developer acknowledged, that fences are not allowed in any type of easement and that the developer needs to inform future homeowners of that restriction. A commissioner noted a small administrative correction in the case summary's section numbering; staff confirmed the correction.

A planning commission member moved to approve the final plan and construction plan request for Northwood Haven Section 4 “with the five conditions listed on the case summary,” and the motion was seconded. The commission took a roll call and recorded seven ayes; the motion carried.

Commission discussion also noted a future Section 5 is planned to add roughly 65 homes and that the overall development had been approved for 392 residential lots, according to staff. The commission did not amend the listed conditions during the meeting; the five conditions referenced on the case summary were not read into the record during the public discussion.

The planning commission will proceed to monitor remaining approvals and any covenant or HOA notices the developer provides to homeowners.
