The Portage City Council is taking another stab at annexing 38 acres after repealing an attempt to do so last year.
Providence Real Estate wants to build a subdivision on the 120-acre Carlson Farm property. Already, about 80 acres are within the city limits, having been annexed last year.
Attorney Greg Bouwer, representing Providence Real Estate Development, and Providence Vice President Doug Ehens walked the council through the plans for the new subdivision, though the plans would have to go through the Plan Commission and possibly the Board of Zoning Appeals before the council would weigh in on those plans. The issue now is simply whether to annex the additional 38 acres.
Ehens said the single-story cottage homes would have exterior maintenance included in the cost. The square footage for the larger homes would range up to 3,000. Almost every undeveloped residential area in the city is zoned R1, Bonta said. The 38 acres under consideration now would be added to the city with an R1 zone.
