Amberwood development site: Two tentative versions of three-phase plan

Please click on images of two tentative versions of the Amberwood development site in west Fayetteville southeast of the intersection of Dot Tipton and Double Springs Roads.
The rezoning request for the site was denied by the Fayetteville City Council at a recent meeting but may be reconsidered at the December 16 meeting of the council.
The Jorgensen and Associates architectural firm continues to make adjustments to match the City's 2025 Plan and approval of the plat would have to come up later. A selling point is that a portion of the houses in the subdivision would be in what is considered an affordable price range, something rare in development plans today. Builder Charlie Sloan has made many adjustments in the plan in past months to please owners of adjacent property and has even promised to pave the currently graveled Dot Tipton Road beyond the limits of the property to be developed. The land can be developed with an eye to managing stormwater runoff and utilizing existing terrain without increasing the cost for potential middle-income buyers. Building the lower-cost, relatively small but well-designed houses before the larger ones may offer the city the chance to meet its goal of providing attainable housing sooner than anywhere else in town in coming months.
