Alexander City Council members will hear from the developer and
engineer of Meadows Edge, the city's newest proposed residential subdivision. Project
developer Rick Ferguson and engineer Joe White will speak at the council's
regular meeting Monday, February 23. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 pm
and will be held in City Hall. The public is invited to attend.
The subdivision is being built on a former cattle farm along Highway
111, which was sold last year by its owners Steve and Pam Scroggins. The
approximate 200-acre farm is divided by the highway with the largest portion on
the west side.
The initial plan is to build 200 homes on the largest portion first,
with another 100 homes to possibly be added later. The development plan also
includes keeping most of the wooded area, the pond and providing a walking
trail.
Also on the agenda is the adoption of the Saline County Subdivision
Rules and Regulations. The city will use the regulations as the standards
future subdivisions must meet before they can be built within the Alexander
city limits.
The developers of Meadows Edge voluntarily decided to use the county's
regulations when a city version wasn't available. The subdivision regulations
include requirements such as the plat submission process; suitability of the
land for development; and construction standards for streets, sidewalks, curbs,
gutters, water, and sewer lines.
