Planning board approves Terrace Farm rezoning after developer widens lot frontages
Summary
The City of Englewood Planning Commission approved Rezoning Application 26-01 for Terrace Farm (3709 W National Rd) after Maronda Homes increased lot widths from 55 to 65 feet and reduced the subdivision from 162 to 152 lots amid resident concerns about drainage and traffic.
The City of Englewood Planning Commission Board voted unanimously to approve Rezoning Application 26-01 for Terrace Farm at 3709 W National Rd after the applicant revised the site plan to increase lot frontages adjacent to existing homes.
According to the staff report presented by Development Director William Singer Jr., Maronda Homes modified lot widths along shared boundaries from 55 feet to a minimum of 65 feet, reducing the total number of lots from 162 to 152. The packet described this as an approximate 20 percent increase in lot width along shared boundaries. Applicants Brian Hoesl (Maronda Homes) and Jack Poeppelman (Choice One Engineering) were present to describe the revisions and answer commissioners’ questions.
Several residents spoke during the public hearing in opposition to the rezoning, raising specific concerns about drainage and flooding on and near the site, increased traffic, the length of construction work, how the new homes would align with surrounding housing, and the size of the proposed lots. The minutes record that the board closed the public hearing, discussed questions with the applicant and staff, and then approved the rezoning on a 4-0 vote after a motion by Commissioner Andrew Gough and a second from Commissioner Brent Fisher.
The commission approved the rezoning as presented in the revised plan. The minutes do not record additional conditions attached to the approval or any timeline for final platting and permits.
