1. Call Meeting to Order.
Meeting was called to Order at 6:04 p.m.
2. Presentation by Ed McBirney on Lane Ranch Planned Community Development.
Ed McBirney was recognized and gave a recap on development they have done to date in
Sanger and then presented the Lane Ranch Planned Community Development. He advised
that this is not only Lane Ranch and includes 58 acres which is the Lakeridge Development
that was approved about two months ago, and is 178 Lots. Since the last work session, they
went back and retooled the subdivision and went from 150 acres and decided to do the whole
350 acres. Basically, they have several PD’s; a townhouse PD (210 Units) a Multifamily PD;
a Commercial PD; a Senior Living PD (they don’t have anything on it yet). All of the
Residential Zoning R-1 is 2000 SF minimum. He pointed out on a rendering where the various
developments would be located. For the Multi-Family Zoning on 12 Acres they are down to
200 units from 400 units. The first project they are doing to do is 50 acres called The Lakes
of Lane Ranch. He noted they are going to take the series of lakes and make it one lake. They
are also going to start a trail system to Lake Ridge. He noted that Lake Ridge is not a 2000
square foot product and they are doing affordable homes there from 1600 to 2700 square foot
homes. They are mostly sold to DR Horton and the next phase will start in about 30 days.
The houses around the lake will be around 2000 square feet and above on lots up to one acre.
They think, they don’t know exactly yet. He explained with the amenities how desirable his
development would be. Discussion ensued and Councilmembers provided suggestions as to
what they are looking for in a project of this type.
