More than 75 new homes are planned on Greenwood’s far southeast side.
The Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission on Monday unanimously approved the primary plat for the Holly Springs subdivision, a 34-acre site located at the intersection of Sheek Road and Ray Crowe Way — immediately west of Ray Crowe Elementary School and south of Greenwood Bible Baptist Church.
Holly Springs will be built by Miami, Florida-based Lennar Homes, and will include 76 homes, the maximum allowed for the site. The subdivision will be located in the Clark-Pleasant school district.
The subdivision will have three stormwater detention ponds, and two entrances – one along Sheek Road and another along Ray Crowe Way. The area is already zoned for single-family homes and would include a pedestrian connection to Ray Crowe Elementary, said Tony Bagato, a Lennar Homes representative.
The developer would normally be required to include a connection to the church to the north, but the connection would need to go through land the church uses for community events and may be used for a future expansion. Because of this, Lennar requested a waiver from the requirement, Bagato said.
The plan commission also received letters from the church saying they would prefer the connection not be required, said Trent Pohlar, a plan commission member.
The homes will likely start in the $300,000 range, depending on the housing market when they are completed, Bagato said.
