Liberty Park Development

[BoulderSooner]

Yes, meant Coltrane!

They had advertised near covell and 35 so I had that in my mind
My understanding is that is is basically all the undeveloped land 1/2 mile north and south of coffee creek between Coltrane and sooner

very cool this should be a great development ..

I’m very interested. I have been looking at this area for a move in about 5 years. Was looking at McCalebs upcoming Bison Ridge neighborhood at Douglas and Danforth, but will definitely have this on my list. Both should probably be in early phases by then.

I believe the home developers for Liberty Park is McGregor and massarossa which both build solid well built homes

First phases of this development were up for planning meeting. Looks like small lot lines very similar to wheeler park. IMG_9422.jpegIMG_9423.jpeg

This proposal already has the Edmond NIMBY beehive buzzing.

Are you kidding? Lol Anything that isn’t a cookie cutter neighborhood or strip mall always gets pushback from Edmond NIKBYs. There’s some exceptions to that namely downtown development and to an extent I-35 corridor but even several developments along I-35 have been protested. Edmond NIMBYs have (successfully) taken specific developments to the ballots on Election Day to override the democratic process of our representative republic.

Always wins to low voter turnout and the culture of Edmond just scared of change.

What's the controversy?

massive increase of density compared to the surrounding neighborhoods .. and it includes commercial which the surrounding neighborhood also do not ..

i hope this gets built but it is far from a certainty

What's the controversy?

Its not only single family homes on at least half acre lots. Deviate from that and someone will complain.

Beautifully said, PP. Edmond needs to figure out a way to silence the Nimby Jet Set if it's actually interested in landing cool $hit.

The council has approved some of these before but its a pretty low bar for citizens to get signatures for a ballot petition to overturn any zoning or site plan approval. And thats happend 2 or 3 times I think.
