Whitestown plan commission backs rezoning recommendation for PY Homes development after residents raise density and tree‑clearing concerns
Summary
The Whitestown Plan Commission gave a favorable recommendation to rezone a 28.41‑acre PY Homes site with conditions including a 50‑lot cap, material and landscaping commitments, and rental‑cap language after neighbors questioned density calculations and pre‑approval tree clearing.
A majority of the Whitestown Plan Commission voted to recommend rezoning for a 28.41‑acre site proposed by PY Homes after hearing a revised plan that cuts the lot count from 56 to 50 and adds larger open‑space and perimeter landscaping commitments.
Rex Ramage, representing PY Homes, told commissioners the revised concept reduces the proposed lots to 50, “and that represents a 1.759 uh density units per acre,” and increases open space to just under 17 acres, well above the town’s 10% Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) open‑space requirement. The petitioner also offered a minimum 5‑foot berm along County Road 500 with enhanced plantings and added written commitments prohibiting vinyl siding and capping the lot count at 50.
