Mr Williamsburg.com Real Estate Blog Middlesex Virginia New Residential Development
December 2007 MIDDLESEX, Virginia - A proposal for a 379-home subdivision will head back to Middlesex planning commissioners after the county supervisors expressed concerns Tuesday night about whether the developer's incentives are legally binding.
Developer Gene Ruark has tried for two years to gain approval to build the homes on 630 acres in the Hartfield area of Middlesex. His request to reclassify 326 acres to allow homes to be built was considered Tuesday night by the Middlesex Board of Supervisors, but withdrawn after questions arose over incentives and other issues.Supervisors want two entrances to Ruark's subdivision and also want to ensure the proffers, essentially incentives offered to the county by Ruark, are legally binding, said Middlesex Planning Director George Hayfield.
Ruark withdrew his request and the application will be taken up again by the Middlesex County Planning Commission, most likely in February, Hayfield said."It's hard to see where he could possibly put a second entrance," Hayfield said.Ruark said the entrance and exit to his subdivision will have two lanes each, which is more than sufficient."Deltaville only has one lane going in and one lane out," Ruark said. "For 10,000 people. Or 8,000 people, whatever it is."Ruark said he is offering $1,000 per lot to be paid to each of the local fire department and rescue units. In addition, he would pay the county $3,000 per lot. Altogether, the proffers could mean nearly $2 million for the county.
The homes would sit on lots about three-quarters of an acre in size. The price range is from about $300,000 to $380,000, Ruark said.The subdivision would have a clubhouse, tennis courts, swimming pool, two playgrounds and two community docks on two lakes on the property.The subdivision would provide an estimated $1.9 million in annual property tax revenues to the county, Ruark said. He also said the subdivision would have a minimal effect on schools."I market to retirees," Ruark said. "They don't have children."Ruark said he will work with the county's legal counsel to ensure the proffers are legally binding.

Patriots Walk in Gloucester VA Sept 2007
Construction is to start in September 2007 on Patriots Walk in Gloucester VA
GLOUCESTER - Crews are carving a road off of Route 3/14 into a future subdivision called Patriots Walk that will feature 49 homes in the first phase. It comprises 522 acres, with documents on file in the Gloucester Planning Department showing 179 potential home sites.The home sites range in size from about two-thirds of an acre to an acre. The subdivision's entrance road, called Patriots Way, is across from Exchange Lane.
It will have a 16-foot entrance lane and two exit lanes that are a total of 27 feet. The road also has a 10-foot median in the center, documents show.The project is being developed by Cow Creek, a Williamsburg-based limited liability corporation. The 49 lots of the first phase will encompass nearly 42 acres. Another 47 acres will remain in open space.
The subdivision will have a "suburban country type feel."Houses will start in size from 2,000 square feet and be priced from the $250,000 range. The developer is trying to save a lot of mature trees on the lots and have a more contemporary architecture with front porches.
The subdivision will also have stormwater management infrastructure such as retention ponds that go beyond what is required by Gloucester County. The subdivision is designed to handle stormwater flows from a 100-year storm, rather than the 10-year storm required by the county, Strack said.That's to protect homes in subdivisions downstream on Cow Creek from runoff that might come from the subdivision."We've got two nice wet ponds, we've got some walking trails," Strack said. "We're hoping it will turn into a nice water feature.
"Construction on the first model home will begin in September, with the first homes scheduled for occupancy next spring, Strack said.
