Mr. Blake McAnally of Pugh, Wright, McAnally and Mr. Daniel Hudson of Rausch Coleman Homes spoke giving information to the Council about the proposed subdivision for the property. The company currently has 2 subdivisions under construction in Decatur. They are proposing a mixed-use community with affordable housing for “working class” to be priced in the mid $200,000’s. Homes are expected to be 3 & 4 bedroom 1000-3000 square feet while the town homes are expected to have less than 6 homes per unit 2 story homes being 1800-2000 square feet. The subdivision will be done in 5 phases with approximately 100 lots per phase. Phase 1 would begin on the Old 24 frontage of the property. The subdivision is proposed to have Common Areas and Dog Parks that will be maintained by their HOA. All public utilities will be placed by the developers and all at once during each phase, typically they do not allow for natural gas.
