The housing growth continues on the east side of Noblesville as the city’s plan commission approved the Flagstone development on Sept. 15.
The planned development includes two parcels. Noblesville Assistant Planning Director Andy Wert said the project involves each side of Summer Road. The 33 acres on the east side is unincorporated Wayne Township and is under the jurisdiction of Hamilton County. The 40 acres on the west side is unincorporated Noblesville Township.
Flagstone plans include 151 units with a density of 2.4 lots per acre. Wert said Arbor Homes will construct the homes on the east side (Flagstone Woods) and Silverthorne will build Flagstone Ridge on the west side of Summer Road.
“They are sister companies and controlled by the same individuals,” he said.
Wert said Flagstone Ridge will have sidewalk connections with the Sagamore housing addition. Flagstone Woods will include a 5.5-acre wooden area and will connect to the 200-acre Eastside Park, which is in its planning stage. Walking trails will connect the two subdivisions.
Wert said the property was owned by the Park Tudor Trust before it was sold to Roger Kessler.
“They had no need for the property and sold it for cash,” he said.
Flagstone, which had no remonstrance, was sent to the Noblesville Common Council with a unanimous favorable recommendation.
Developer asks for time
The Gradison development of Seminole was continued to the October meeting at the request of Steve Hardin, attorney for Faegre Baker Daniels, after the public hearing. Wert said several residents voiced concerns, not on the project but the location.
“There were no negative comments on the project or style,” he said. “Comments centered on the condition of existing road network which includes two 90-degree jogs.”
Seminole is comprised of two communities on 134 acres in between 161st and 169th streets, just east of Seminole Road. Development plans include up to 256 single family homes ranging in size from 1,700- to 3,000-square-feet (not including the basement area). Ryan Homes will serve as the builder. Prices are expected to average between $300,000 and $375,000.
