Conceptual Plans Accepted

The Holladay Planning Commission has adopted our conceptual plan for the subdivision. Two weeks to prepare for the Preliminary plot plan. This public forum was a real eye opener in the process. We are glad its over and we are moving on. "Welcome to the neighborhood"

Neighborhood Meeting


Well that didn't go so good. Being a peaceful warrior I have no idea how people can get so upset and down right angry about land protection. Our current plans for a 2975sq foot home is absolutely the best use of the land we have. In it's current state the pasture property could be broken into 3, 1/2 acre lots, with a house on each. One single family dwelling for the possibility of three is what we are trying to do. Brought to the attention of the neighbors this comment was considered a "threat". Preserve the most amount of the property for open space and gardens. An idea which was brought to our attention was the thought that we ultimately wanted a road connecting one side of the property to the road on the other side making it a thoroughfare. Wow! Talk about destroying a beautiful place. In the words of a wise cranky old guy "Serenity Now"

Plans


We have plans. Our choice combined the overall concepts we have been working with along. 2975 square feet, separate adult and children zones. Super energy efficient. Trombe wall. Bringing outdoors in. Neighborhood meeting tonight letting everyone around us whats happening with our subdivision process. Planning Commission Meeting next week. Specific floor plans and renderings coming soon.

Another Year and few months

but who is really counting anymore. The neighbors have all agreed on the boundary lines of the property and "Holladay, we have lift off". The subdivision process is next along with will serve letters from utilities. If we are lucky we will be able to break ground this summer. For the last few years it has seemed like things were just around the corner from happening. Now I really believe they are happening. Thanks you Imbue Design for hanging in there.
