Developer wants to build 102 houses in Dublin
The Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 16 will consider a rezoning request, preliminary development plan and preliminary plat for Hyland Glen, 102 single-family residences at the northeast corner of Hyland-croy and Post roads.
The 42.5-acre site would have 12.4 acres of open space, nine public streets and a density of 2.4 dwelling units per acre, according to a city planning report concerning the application.
The property is zoned rural residential and owned by Roger and Denise Gorden, according to the planning report. It is proposed to be rezoned as planned-unit development.
The applicant is the Paragon Building Group, doing business as Virginia Homes, according to the planning report.
“We have put in a lot of work in the last
six months to come up with something that Dublin wants to see there. We are excited for the opportunity to build,” said Charles Ruma, president of Virginia Homes.
According to the planning report, city officials recommend approval of the rezoning and the preliminary development plan with six conditions. They also recommend approval of the preliminary plat with one condition, that any technical adjustments to the plat are made prior to being submitted to Dublin City Council for its final consideration.
The lots range in size from 6,600 square feet to 18,997 square feet, according to the report.
The sizes of the single-family residences range from 1,800-square-foot ranch-style houses to 3,500-square-foot, 2-story houses and are expected to sell in the $600,000 range, Ruma said.
Hyland Glen represents a lower-density proposal than what was suggested for the site several years ago by a different developer, Ruma said.
Hyland Glen would be adjacent to the Post Reserve development.
Moorland Drive will provide access to the development from Hyland-croy Road, along with two other access points: Springview Lane, limited to right-in and right-out only access, and Holbein Drive, according to the report.
The proposal includes the extension of Springview Lane, Stillhouse Lane and Holbein Drive.
A statement from the applicant, included in the zoning report, said: “The
Hyland Glen Planned Unit Development District is being created in order to provide a residential front door to the City of Dublin at Hyland-croy and Post Roads. It will provide a transition of homes and lot sizes from the existing Post Preserve and Park Place neighborhoods to a new commercial corridor along the western side of Hyland-croy Road (within Jerome Township) and the southern portion of Post Road.”
If approved by the planning and zoning commission and Council, Ruma said, he hopes construction would begin next summer and the first residences occupied in 2023.
The planning and zoning commission is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the Council Chamber of Dublin City Hall, 5555 Perimeter Drive. kcorvo@thisweeknews.com @Thisweekcorvo
