Stonebridge Commons

Mr. Ridder presented the Board with copies of the approved layout, conceptual layout and overlay for Stonebridge Commons. The plans show detached condos and attached duplexes rather than the approved two-story townhouses. He noted that there is a currently a lawsuit against Pulte Homes relative to Phase I. The new two-story detached units, he said, would feature five or six different facades and be approximately 1,900 square feet with a two-car garage and a selling price at around $300,000. He told the Board he would like to have a model home up in the next few months. He said that the balance of the project would also be restricted to residents age 55 and over. Chairman Philip Lindquist said that the Board would need to see full size drawings.
Residents in attendance stated a preference for completion of Phase I before Phase II is under construction and concerns with the difference in the size of the new units and the flow from one style of construction to another.
