Davis Homes Update 

3/30/26

We’ve connected with our Construction and Engineering teams to confirm that they have put in the time to further investigate the limits of impacted development area needed. Any remaining tree clearing needed this week will be due to trees being either in the way, or, likely damaged and killed through development. 

 While it would be in the best interest of both parties to keep as many trees in this area as we can, our teams need to ensure that the space is appropriately prepped and clear for development and construction needs.

Please note, Davis Homes intends to plant new trees in this area when development is complete. 

Kempis’s conversation shared on Friday regarding encroaching structures and equipment beyond the neighbor’s property lines is true. We ask that these items please be removed in a timely manner if intended to be saved or relocated.

in response to questions asked in January:
Thank you for reaching back out and I apologize for the delayed response. Happy to provide answers to your questions below in RED –

• Q1: The tree buffer between McFarland Farms and Holly hills. I am assuming that it will be thinned as these are nursery trees gone wild, but an idea of what that would look like would be beneficial.–

  As designed and approved, we have a 40′ buffer along the northern property line (from McFarland Farms) and a 50′ buffer along the western property line (Holly Hills). These are buffers that have common area space between the existing neighbors property lines and the back of future proposed home lots. However, this is NOT a tree buffer as you mentioned. Tree clearing will be taking place in these areas to allow for construction, infrastructure, and amenities such as site grading, drainage, and a multi-use pathway. That said, any trees that fall on the property lines will be kept if they are part of the neighbors property. We even told our clearing guys to save as many healthy trees that we can within a 5′ distance, as they deem appropriate.

• Most people think that the homes are going to be built right up next to McFarland Farms, despite being told there will be a tree buffer of 40’. We want to let The McFarland Farms people know that there will be a 40’ tree buffer and that some trees will be thoughtfully removed to preserve the healthy trees. Some are also concerned about distance between the properties on the east group of homes near Mint Drive. Can that be clarified? Similar to what’s mentioned above, the 40′ and 50′ buffers are not tree buffers. However, you’re correct that the buffer space will apply to the space in between the back of existing lots’ backyards to the back of future lots backyards. If you recall, additional commitments with fencing was required for the homes in the SE corner of the property that are near Mint Drive as you mentioned due to the lack of buffer space between these lots. 

January 2026:
This from Davis Homes:  Towards the end of the year, Davis Homes made the internal decision to scale back on its planned, and approved, scope of work for total unit count and wetland area impacts. Davis Homes then went back through the platting process to revise the scope of project from 132 to 122 total units. At this stage, they do not anticipate any further revisions to final unit counts or site plan design.

From a timing perspective, Davis Homes is still working through final reviews and approvals related to engineering. Assuming things go as planned, Davis Homes hopes to start tree clearing in March. They believe this will take a full month of work. After this, they hope to start moving dirt and starting site development in April/May timeframe. Site Development will then take the remainder of 2026 with streets installed and completed lots available by end of 2026 – at the earliest. Vertical construction would then begin in 2027.
