SAN ANGELO – Crews broke ground on San Angelo's newest single family housing subdivision in Southwest San Angelo as the City Planning Commission took no action on an ordinance requiring sidewalks.
The Planning Commission Monday held a detailed discussion about the proposed new ordinance requiring sidewalks in most new subdivisions on main streets. Developers and home builders testified during the meeting that the new stricter sidewalk requirements would be too costly for most home owners and would harm development.
One attendee Monday told city planners that the developer of at least one new subdivision planned with 200 home sites walked away from the deal because of the sidewalk issue.
The ongoing uncertainty killed the project at a time when the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce says prospective new companies and industries need new single family homes.
Watch video below of earth moving equipment working on the new subdivision:
The streets will include extensions of Royal Oak Dr., Grandview Dr., Clearview Dr., Silver Spur Dr., and Coral Way.
The West Texas Land Guys consists of San Angelo's Eric Von Rosenberg along with Lubbock builders Robert Wood, Trey Strong, and Kendall Cox.
To the west of this new subdivision Sierra Vista builders has a development and is also clearing land to build single family residential homes.
These two builds will boost the San Angelo housing economy as the Enclave alone will add over 100 new homes to the area.
