BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
Marlow Lake North Subdivision is a 158-unit single family residential planned unit development on 68.355 acres of undeveloped land located on the west side of SH 3 immediately north and adjacent to the Marlow Lake Subdivision. The developer is SSLT, LLC, an affiliate of Sprint Sand. Sprint Sand owns and operates the active sand mine adjacent to the subdivision. The development is part of the approved post pit plan for the sand mine.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the request for extension of time to the preliminary zoning approval. The Marlow Lake Subdivision is separate from but adjacent to the Marlow Lake North Subdivision. Sections 1 through 4 are located in the Marlow Lake Subdivision. Section 5 is the first section being platted in Marlow Lake North Subdivision. The buildout of Sections 1 through 3 is substantially complete with many new, high-quality homes being constructed and occupied by the owners. The pocket park construction for Sections 1 through 3 is in place and operational. The infrastructure of Section 4 is complete, and the plat recorded on July 14, 2023. The construction of the walking trail and landscape amenities has been slow. The Developer has installed the decorative fencing, some sidewalks and provided plans for landscaping and hardscaping along the walking trails at the finished top of bank of the eventual future lake.
There have been no significant changes to conditions surrounding the Marlow Lake North development. It would be recommended for approval if first presented at this time instead of two years ago in 2022. With improvements in the economy and normalization of the changing interest rates, there is no reason not to anticipate continued good absorption of the housing products produced through the subdivision.
