Maple Meadows
The wealthy residents of Redmond, Oregon call the area known as Maple Meadows home. Last Monday, city councilors gave their blessing to a 58-acre home complex that will be built on Redmond’s northwest side. This development will be one of the largest that the city has ever given its blessing. During the meeting on Tuesday, the council was given an extensive presentation regarding the upcoming development of Maple Meadows. Following the presentation, the council overwhelmingly approved Hayden Homes’ plans for the new community. This includes a variety of townhomes, apartments, single-family homes, and smaller cottages, all of which will be developed over the course of multiple phases beginning in this year. In total, there will be 314 units. In addition, there will be the construction of a trail network and open park areas.
According to April Pust, regional property development manager for Hayden Homes, information regarding housing costs in Maple Meadows is not yet available. However, single-family homes in a similar-sized community that Hayden Homes built and sold near Redmond sold for between $213,000 and $265,000. According to what she indicated, the cottage flats, which are smaller units ranging in size from 400 to 1,000 square feet, will be rented out.
According to Scott Woodford, the senior planner for Redmond, the council had already been briefed on the project during a work session that took place in January. This was done because the development in question was a significant one that involved a great deal of detail. During the presentation that took place on Tuesday, which was a public hearing, those particulars were investigated in greater depth, and the audience was also given the opportunity to provide feedback.
Woodford spent the majority of his time discussing the exemptions and variations that Hayden Homes had asked for the new development. These were the majority of the more nuanced concerns that Woodford went over. For instance, the development business has requested that the city allows for lot sizes that are smaller than the customary requirement of 6,000 square feet that is placed on single-family homes in order to conform to the density guidelines.
Several members of the general public who live close to the location of the new development voiced their concerns to the council regarding the increased volume of traffic that the project will bring to an area of Redmond that, up until this point, has been relatively untouched by the development that is taking place in other parts of the city.
