Martin Hills (Elworthy East)
The Town has received a Housing Development application proposing a 19-lot subdivision of the 103-acre Elworthy East property which is located at the terminus of Borica Drive and Como Way. The project applicant is Bates Stringer Martin Hills Ranch LLC. Access to the site is proposed as an extension from the end of Como Way.
The application includes a rezoning request to rezone the property from A-4; Agricultural Preserve District to a P-1; Planned Unit Development District. It also includes a 19-lot Major Subdivision request, and a Development Plan application for the architectural review of the proposed 19 new residences.
The Town has not yet received the architectural plans. These plans will be provided on this site when the Town receives them.
The Town is requiring that an Environmental Impact Report be prepared to study the potential environmental impacts associated with this proposal. Additional information will be mailed and posted on this site when it becomes available.
The Town is in the early stages of reviewing this application. Any public hearings regarding this application would likely be in the spring of 2025.
