Estates at Brookhollow is set to build 318 single-family homes just south of Walnut Grove High School, according to town documents.
The 140-acre subdivision will be part of the larger Brookhollow master-planned community that includes neighborhoods like Lakewood and Rutherford Creek, project representatives said.
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission approved preliminary plans for the project at an Aug. 4 meeting. Plans for Estates at Brookhollow passed on the condition that the developers establish an independent homeowners association instead of incorporating the subdivision into the existing Lakewood HOA.
Sorting out details
Estates at Brookhollow will include three kinds of lots:
- 65 Type B-1 lots (minimum 12,000 square feet)
- 197 Type C lots (minimum 9,000 square feet)
- 56 Type D lots (minimum 7,000 square feet)
The subdivision will also include 14 open space lots, as well as two 10-foot hike and bike trails, according to town documents.
The hike and bike trails will run along Richland Boulevard and Wildcat Way to help connect the Wandering Creek subdivision to the north with the future Prosper ISD administration facility west of Lakewood Drive, per town documents.
Diving in deeper
Plans for Estates at Brookhollow were tabled at a July 7 meeting after commissioner John Hamilton raised concerns about annexing the future subdivision into an existing HOA.
Under the Lakewood HOA’s bylaws, control of the association transfers from the developer to the residents once all of the houses in the subdivision are complete, Hamilton said at the July 7 meeting.
Annexing a new subdivision into the HOA when Lakewood is nearing completion could delay the HOA’s transfer, he said.
“This is a major pain point for the current residents in the [Lakewood] neighborhood that would prefer it to be a separate HOA,” Hamilton said in July.
Lakewood resident Thomas Vicario seconded Hamilton’s concerns at the Aug. 4 meeting.
“The community is frothing at the mouth to take the HOA from the developer for a number of reasons,” Vicario said.
The takeaway
Preliminary plans for Estates at Brookhollow received final approval from the commission.
The subdivision will have its own HOA, separate from the other neighborhoods that make up the Brookhollow development.
