Of the 271.87 acres, 101 acres are open space, and the lot area is 132 acres.
There are various typical lot sizes depending on the housing type:
Townhomes have minimum lot sizes of 20 feet by 105 feet and 20 feet by 120 feet.
Single-Family Residences have minimum lot sizes of 40 feet by 120 feet, 50 feet by 120 feet, 50 feet by 130 feet, 60 feet by 120 feet and 60 feet by 130 feet.

The improvement plat process does not allow for any construction or improvements. The applicant will have to continue the process via the submittal and approval of an improvement plat application. At that time all the regulatory agency permits will need to be submitted to the Town prior to the commencement of any work. For the improvement plat plans, the applicant will also submit copies of jurisdictional agency approved permits or exemption letters. Once all the requirements have been met, the Town will issue a development order.
A Water and Sewer Reuse Agreement will also need to be created between the Town and the property owner or developer requesting additional utility capacity allocated to service the subdivision.
The preliminary plat plan application was submitted on April 25, 2023, the Technical Review Committee approved the application on June 29, 2023 and an historic tree variance resolution was presented to the Commission at their July 3, 2023 meeting.
Member Furch made a motion to forward the Preliminary Plat Plan for the Reserve of Hammock Oaks to the Town Commission with the recommendation of approval; Member Saunders seconded the motion.
