SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Regency at Northskye Active Adult Minor Subdivision is located at the center of the Summerfield development along Meadow Boulevard. The amenity center will serve as a private amenity for Summerfield Filing No. 1, which is actively under construction. This Minor Subdivision is consistent with Summerfield PD, approved by Board of Trustees on Jan. 8, 2013, and Summerfield Filing No. 1, approved by Board of Trustees on Aug. 1, 2023, which identifies Tract AH as Future Amenity Area.
The Development Agreement (DA) for The Regency at Northskye Active Adult Minor Subdivision includes standard Town of Erie requirements to develop the site, as well as exhibits outlining cost estimates for the public improvements the developer will install. These include public roadway improvements, public and right-of-way landscaping and irrigation, utility mains, and a spine trail. The Development Agreement reflects provisions negotiated by Town staff with the Town Attorney’s counsel and the property owner, TL Summerfield, LLC. The DA includes, among other typical Town language, reimbursements to the Town for the North Water Reclamation Facility.
Site History and Prior Approvals
1. Annexation
The overall Summerfield area was annexed by the Town in 2013.
2. Zoning
In 2013 Summerfield was zoned Planned Development concurrently with Annexation. Among other items, the PD established planning areas, densities, dimensional standards, and land use regulations.
3. Plats
• 2013: A Sketch Plan was reviewed for the overall property. A Sketch Plan is an optional, informal evaluation before detailed planning and engineering work is undertaken and does not result in any approval or denial.
• 2022: The first Preliminary Plat was approved by the Town Council and consisted of 508 single-family detached lots, 138 duplex lots, and 198 townhome (single-family attached) lots, for a total of 844 lots, with 43 tracts for various landscaping, trail, park, open space, alleys/private streets, and utility purposes and future development areas. The area for Preliminary Plat No. 2 was contained within designated future development tracts on the original Preliminary Plat.
• 2023: Summerfield Filing No. 1 Final Plat and Development Agreement (DA) was approved by Town Council. Filing No. 1 created 479 lots and 36 tracts consisting of 158 active adult single-family detached, 100 active adult attached homes, 196 traditional detached homes, and 25 traditional townhomes. Some of these areas are currently under construction. Infrastructure is anticipated to be completed in the fall of this year with sales possibly beginning the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026.
