First leg of Stadium Trace Parkway extension has been completed
The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission tonight approved final plans for the first phase of the extension of Stadium Trace Parkway.
This is the road that takes people to the new Lake Wilborn subdivision, which will contain 499 houses just past Bumpus Middle School.
The road now has been extended almost all the way to the CSX railroad tracks that go through that area.
Richard Johnson, a representative for Signature Homes (the development company), tonight said the company is getting ready to start construction on the first five speculative lots. He was not yet sure when lots or homes would be available to purchase.
Once Signature Homes finishes construction of a bridge over the CSX railroad tracks, final plans can be approved for the first phase of the Blackridge community, which is just southwest of Lake Wilborn. The planning commission in July approved preliminary plans for the first 135 home sites in Blackridge. Once completed, Blackridge will have 1,009 houses, according to current plans.
In other business tonight, the planning commission:
- Approved final plans for two lots in the Tattersall Park development off Alabama 119 and Greystone Way. Land there is now being graded for a new Covenant Classical School. The school expects to serve about 280 children at this location, which will be the third Covenant Classical School site in Hoover.
- Recommended the City Council allow the Metro Diner at 185 Inverness Plaza to serve beer and wine for consumption on the premises.
- Approved the resurvey of Lot 206 in the Greystone Legacy community to create a 10-foot easement for Alabama Power.
