Developers present Pulte Homes plan for large single‑family neighborhood along Converse Huff Road

Pulte Homes representatives and their consultant presented a concept plan for a Pulte single‑family subdivision on Converse Huff Road that would be the larger of two adjacent developments under review.

The presenter (Speaker 5) said the Pulte site would include a mix of 52‑ and 60‑foot lots, around 240 lots total, and about 24–25 acres of open space — roughly 30 percent of the site. He flagged a design challenge: “we have a lot of frontage on, Converse 0.5 Road… it's over 0.5 mile of kind of frontage there,” and said the team would study screening and 3‑D modeling to avoid lots backing directly onto the major road.

Jim Hills of Pulte (Speaker 4) walked the council through model ranges and elevations and said product lines span roughly 2,126 square feet to over 3,000 square feet. Hills said Pulte would emphasize landscaping and mounding to buffer rear yards from the road.

Council members pressed the presenters for mitigation strategies for the long frontage and for a clearer depiction of how open space and pedestrian connections would function. One member asked for a more centralized amenity instead of narrow retention strips, saying the current green‑space layout looks “unusable.” The developer team said they would return with refined plans and visualizations before zoning submittal.

Next steps: the developers will revise the site plan to respond to council feedback and return to planning staff and planning commission as part of the formal zoning review.
