Brentwood Land Development LLC of Mandeville plans to build a new subdivision off Sharp Road near Mandeville. The new community is slated to bring 103 new homes to the area. The 104-acres, just south of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, is under contract and is presently owned by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
The land is currently zoned A-1 but a request has been approved by the St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission
to change the zoning to A-2 with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay in place. A-2 zoning will allow one home per acre and the PUD overlay will sanction for smaller lots with 25% of the land used as green space. The developers plan to keep 66% of the tract green space which honors the New Directions 2025 land use plan. The new project proposes one home per acre which is less than most subdivisions which are built along Sharp Rd. Brentwood Land did a study that revealed the density in 450-acres of subdivisions in the area is two homes per acre.
Traffic and drainage, two issues that have many residents concerned over, have been addressed by Brentwood Land. The drainage from the new community should be 25% less than what is currently draining from the site. Attorney Jeff Schoen, who represents the archdiocese and Brentwood Land, supports that the home builder’s drainage report is currently being completed and the traffic study which was completed this summer support that the subdivision would not have a huge impact on these two concerns. “This subdivision should have a place along Sharp Road,” Schoen said.
This new community will have a great impact on the New Orleans area real estate market. The builders plan to construct 36 new houses on estate-size lots that are priced from $400,000 to $450,000, 17 smaller new homes priced from $350,000 to $400,000 and 50 new construction garden homes priced from $325,000 to $350,000.
