Plans unveiled for historic subdivision with preserved cemetery

In a recent government meeting, plans for a new gated subdivision were discussed, featuring five lots ranging from 2.81 to 5.15 acres. The development will include 11 acres of open space and will be accessed via a private road from Ragsdale Road.

Key elements of the project include the relocation of two historic structures to the front of the site, while an existing barn will remain in its current position. The project received endorsement from the historic commission on August 18, 2023, which also addressed the preservation of a nearby cemetery, ensuring access easements will be provided.

Additionally, the subdivision will feature an 11,000 square foot amenity building and a 288 square foot greenhouse adjacent to it. The proposal includes 14 conditions of approval, primarily technical in nature, aimed at ensuring the project's compliance with local regulations.
