INDIAN TRAIL – Eagle Engineering is proposing to expand Moore Farm neighborhood with a new subdivision called Moore’s Common.
Developers presented the project to town council at an Oct. 27 meeting.
The goal is to annex and rezone the property, since it’s currently unincorporated county land wedged between Indian Trail and Wesley Chapel in what the county calls a “donut hole.”
Early visions for the project predict 169 new single-family homes and 175 townhomes on a total of 85.6 acres.
The houses would be between 1,600 and 3,000 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms built up on 5,000-square-foot lots. Prices would range from the low $300,000s to the mid-$400,000s.
Developers have more decisions to make regarding the townhomes but plan for those to fit in with the existing townhomes of Moore Farm.
Our roads can’t handle anymore homes or townhomes who is running Indian trail
Why are the cost of these properties so much higher. We need new developments to be more in the amount a person in the middle class can afford. It is kind of ridiculous that they are even building and advertising homes starting at 300,000. With Covid-19 still unresolved there may be only a few that could afford a home there.
The Indian Trail area canNOT handle more housing and apartments. The roads are horrible and in need of repair. The existing roads are not sufficient for more vehicles. The schools are already over-crowded. It already takes 15 to 25, or more, minutes to get from Chestnut Lane to the stop light on Highway 74 through Indian Trail. Please vote NO to more building until the roads and schools catch up with the growth that has already taken place.
Someone is absolutely out of touch. Our road system is abused now. It will not handle more traffic. People drive through Indian trail at 60 mph in the evening now. It’s like a freeway. We need some real planning here.
No more homes, apartments, or communities! There are so many vacant and unsold homes and communities that need to be filled in already! Leave our trees and land alone! We don’t need or want anymore houses or communities. We love our country roads and land.
WHAT A HORRIBLE IDEA!!! The LAST thing Indian Trail and Wesley Chapel need are mire houses and bigger traffic gridlock. Just because you can does not mean that you should. I bet the Moore Family that has passed is rolling in their graves.
I will be at any meetings about this…but bet that this has all been done ON THE SLY.
The roads can’t handle the current traffic.
Fix the roads first. Dot let developers make Indian Trail worse. We need roar improvement first not mor cars.
Sweep the IT council they must be getting thier pockets lined to sell us out like this.
I feel like those Prices are way to high for middle class folks in this area, especially now during this pandemic. If there’s going to be even more homes built in our already crowded area they definitely need to be more affordable.
