A look at how one Delaware neighborhood is taking shape.
The Delaware Planning Commission approved a development plan for sections 4 and 5 of Four Seasons at Addison Farms, a K. Hovnanian community for residents age 55 and older with 111 approved homes, Delaware Source reports.
Many Central Ohio buyers are watching how new neighborhoods take shape, especially communities with a particular lifestyle in mind. A Delaware Source report covers the next step for Four Seasons at Addison Farms on Delaware's west side, and I wanted to share the details exactly as reported.
Everything below comes from the Delaware Source report. I have kept to what it says and flagged what it does not.
What Did the Planning Commission Approve?
According to the report, the Delaware Planning Commission approved a development plan at its Wednesday meeting for sections 4 and 5 of Four Seasons at Addison Farms.
The report describes it as a single-family housing development by K. Hovnanian, with plans for a community for residents age 55 and older on Delaware's west side. The headline says the plan heads to Delaware City Council.
How Many Homes and How Much Land?
The report says the property covers 26.96 acres and is zoned Residential Single Family with a Planned Mixed-Use Overlay (R-SF PMU). The city has approved 111 homes for the site.
What Are the Lot and Setback Requirements?
Development Planner David Gentile said all single-family lots must be a minimum of 52 feet wide and 120 feet deep. A city staff report states: "
All homes would have a minimum 25-foot front yard setback, five-foot side yard setback, 30-foot rear-yard setback and a maximum building height of 35-feet."
Where Are Sections 4 and 5 Located?
The report says the sections sit north of Rutherford Acres, with other portions of Addison Farms to the north, east and northwest.
Railroad tracks border the property to the west. The broader Addison Farms development is 272 acres and multiphase, along Merrick and Heritage boulevards.
How Will Traffic Reach the Sections?
Traffic will access Sections 4 and 5 via Four Seasons Loop, which connects to Heritage Boulevard. The city report adds:
"A new street will be constructed from Four Seasons Loop called Ledgewood Pass. Coming from Rutherford Acres, Birchard Avenue will connect from the south to Four Seasons Loop."
What About Paths and Open Space?
The development plan did not include any multi-use paths for Sections 4 and 5. However, eight-foot-wide paths are planned along Merrick Boulevard as part of larger infrastructure improvements to the entire development.
The report says that once Sections 4 and 5 are complete, Addison Farms will be entirely built out and fully pedestrian accessible.
The staff report says the sections contain approximately 2.02 acres of open space, while the entirety of Subarea D will encompass 11.5 acres of open space once fully built out.
What Does the Report Not Say?
The article does not give home prices, floor plans, a construction schedule or the date of the City Council meeting. It also does not discuss home values or the housing market, so I will not claim any link between this plan and Central Ohio prices.
Because the community is described as one for residents age 55 and older, anyone interested should confirm the eligibility terms directly with the builder.
If you are new to Central Ohio or thinking about a move, following local planning news can give you a feel for how neighborhoods are being shaped. Ask your agent for local news alongside home details; it is part of choosing where you want to spend your days.
