I'm kind of divided on this. I would rather bigger nicer homes be put in place in North East Edmond, but there is a bigger market for smaller homes. I live in Asheforde Oaks and these houses are midsize, nothing impressive. These proposed houses seem like they would be better suited for somewhere along Bryant and 33rd Street.
None of them open in Tulsa only. The problem with this logic is that they also all get each other's market reports and high end retail is consistently hitting way above projections in OKC. That is drawing a lot of attention.
Our problem isn't anything we can't overcome, it's mostly just the lack of quality retail space. Classen Curve was cute but needs way more critical mass to attract national retailers we want. It's cyclical though because developers are a lot more cautious and they want to see demographics that don't exist more than the retailers do. If we could just build a single lifestyle center and cut the strip mall projects out we'd turn this around quickly.

"Single family rezone approved
James Coburn
The Edmond Sun
EDMOND — The City Council approved a rezoning request by Clay Farha of Kay-Bee Investments to allow a single family addition on a 5.4-acre tract. This area is located in the far north portion of the Kelley Pointe development.
The parcel would combine with the 7.15-acre parcel requested from Light Industrial to Single Family, to continue Hidden Prairie at Kelley Pointe, said Bob Schiermeyer, city planner.
Copper Lake Estates Assisted Living Center is located to the north of the tract that located one-quarter mile west of 33rd and Kelly Ave. The Whispering Creek Addition is to the west. The residential portion of Kelley Pointe is progressing successfully and the need is for more homes, Schiermeyer said.
The 5-0 vote also amended the Edmond Plan from Light Industrial to Single-Family Dwelling District. The Planning Commission considered this item in August and recommended approval.
“It’s approximately 230 homes total,” said Doug Klassen, of MKEC Engineering Consultants.
There will be a full collector street system as a part of the Hidden Prairie at Kelley Pointe Addition, accessing both Kelly and 33rd. A street goes through the entire addition to provide connectivity with areas of homes, said Bob Schiermeyer, city planner. Plans call for three entrances to the addition"

City approves variance for new Hampden Hollow III plat
James Coburn
The Edmond Sun
EDMOND — The Edmond City Council agreed 5-0 to a right-of-way variance this week for the preliminary plat of Hampden Hollow III. The plat is located on the east side of N. Air Depot Blvd, one half mile north of Covell.
Keith Beatty of Isch and Associates, representing Gap Development, requested a 70-foot right-of-way agreement from the required 90 feet listed in the transportation plan, said Steve Manek, city engineer. The agreement also would provide a 20-foot utility easement.
“The proposal is the same as was proposed and approved for Hampden Hollow II immediately to the south,” said Bob Schiermeyer, city planner.
The Engineering Department drew cross sections to show how a roadway could be built within the 70 feet of right-of-way and on the utility easement, Manek said. A large gas line exists in the area that does not neccessarily need to be moved.
“We’ll have to spend some money on a private gas line out there some day in the future,” Manek said.
Hampden Hollow III will include 180 homes, Schiermeyer said.
Plenty of room will be available for right and left turn lanes into the addition, Manek said.

Or burn down like the first building.
Is that what burned in the huge fire a few years ago?
nm, I read the article.
Yeah, and it doesn't look like they changed the design at all either
Well, ick!
Yes it was a huge bonfire.
Nothing special and not a true town square development..
Commission approves housing plat, retail project
James Coburn
The Edmond Sun
EDMOND — The final plat of Town Square II was approved this week by the Edmond Planning Commission. The vote was 5-0.
Town Square is north of Danforth Road, east of Coltrane Road and north of the Woody Creek Addition, said Bob Schiermeyer, city planner.
Caleb McCaleb wants to develop the remaining 53 lots of the second phase of Town Square. The development deals with 12.45 acres, Schiermeyer said. Town Square I is nearly finished with 40 lots on 18.42 acres.
Single family lots range from 6,600 square feet to 8,400 square feet. Full city utilities and public streets will be included, Schiermeyer said..
“They have a stub-out to the north for a potential connection (to another neighborhood),” Schiermeyer said.
The stub-out road would need to be paved to go along with future developments, Schiermeyer said. However, McCaleb said he has an option to purchase 120 acres north of the stub-out road.
“We would prefer just to leave it a green belt before we start developing to the north so we don’t have one of those weird dead-end streets,” McCaleb said.
Plans shared with future residents show the stub-out as a through street that connects with the future development of Town Square III, McCaleb said.
Phase III will involve developing land along Danforth on the north side, McCaleb said. Development also will include a fourth and fifth phase.
“You are aware even with the stub-outs that existing neighbors will scream and yell because they just don’t want that traffic flow,” said Mark Hoose, planning commissioner. “From a comfort level, I would be much more comfortable seeing that paved.”
McCaleb agreed with the condition that his final plat will show the stub-out as a paved street by the time the Edmond City Council considers the item on Nov. 14.

Sorghum Mill/ Coltrane Rd.
Commission agrees to rezone 5-acre tract
The Edmond Planning Commission agreed 5-0 this week to recommend the rezoning of a 5-acre tract from general agricultural to a rural estate district.
The rural estate request was made by Michelle Kirby on behalf of owner Brian Graham.
This property is off the south side of Sorghum Mill Road, one-half mile east of Coltrane Road, Schiermeyer said. The Edmond Plan supports single-family zoning.
“If approved, each lot will be 165 feet by 660 feet,” Schiermeyer said.
No water or sewer is located adjacent to the property along Sorghum Mill Road, he said. The area will not be a part of the subdivision plat, Schiermeyer noted.
“They already have a house going on the east side of the property,” Schiermeyer said. “They placed it so they can have two lots.”
Planning Commission Chairman Barry Moore reassured Larry Hulsey of Northwood Drive that the zoning change is for housing only.
This item will appear before the Edmond City Council on April 14, Moore said. - See more at: Commission approves housing plat, retail project » Local News » The Edmond Sun
I live east of I 35 (east Edmond) I've always hoped that when this area would develop it would be large homes or at least midsized on 2 ac or larger tracts of land. Now its looking mostly like all 1/4 ac lots. I'm on 10 ac and love it. It seems like another day and another addition being proposed.
Driving north on Midwest yesterday, I noticed Thunder Canyon has the streets paved, so I took a tour. Happy to say the streets weren't just a bunch of cul-de-sacs like in many new developments.
