Dear Neighbors,
Attached you will find the development plan for the Lanahan Subdivision that will go on the 24 acres located behind the Kirkwood Church. The property is bordered by housing on Stone Lake Court in the Woodlake Crossing neighborhood and by housing on Kyle Circle and Susan Newton Lane in the Meadowlake Farms neighborhood. Exit and entry from the Lanahan subdivision will be by way of Meadowlake Road. The subdivision is an open cluster design with 34 detached houses, recreational, picnic and garden areas, playground, gravel walking trail, and a large stormwater wet pond. The houses will be on small lots and there will be a 45-foot buffer that extend from the back of each lot to the property line. At this time, the County is reviewing the by-right plan to determine compliance with all state and county development codes. Once all the issues with the plan are addressed, the developer will be issued preliminary planning approval to remove trees and begin development. House building will not begin until final approval. This development plan will not come before the Board of Supervisors for approval.
I received word today from Mr. Ted Henifin, Executive Director HRSD, that planning for the Tabb PRS and Offline Storage Tank project is being paused in order for the staff to evaluate potential alternatives other than the Tabb site. The County has identified possible optional sites and additional land that might be used to help mitigate many of the concerns we are having with the placement of large industrial size tanks near a residential neighborhood. As Mr. Henifin states, “…HRSD needs to build the PRS in the general area but we will look for creative options that could minimize the impact on the community and provide some ancillary benefits.” Essentially, he is making no promises that the PRS and tank will not go on the Tabb site.
Regards,
Tom
