A new home subdivision between South Pleasantburg Drive and Parkins Mill Road is moving forward after some major changes.
Original plans submitted to the city Planning Commission called for 12 homes to be built on 6.39 acres at 1140 Parkins Mill Road. After input from the planning commission and nearby homeowners, the property will now have only five homesites with 1-acre lots.
“Most unique is the effort being made to save as many trees as possible,” says Bob Morgan from C. Dan Joyner, who will be representing Hollison Homes on the marketing and resale of the development. “We want this to be a positive development for the neighbors and the city.”
Morgan says that having lot sizes near 1 acre in the city allows the builder to “preserve some of the beautiful trees and landscaping on the actual build sites.” Pines and underbrush being removed for the road will be replaced with large and lush landscaping buffers to “protect privacy and add appeal to Collins Place.”
Hollison Homes is the exclusive builder for the new subdivision and is expecting the first custom-built home to begin construction in the summer of 2014.
There is an existing home on the property that will be demolished as well.
