A Charlotte developer will revamp a dangerous Lake Norman-area intersection as it builds a large housing community approved Tuesday by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners.
Cambridge Properties will spend $1.5 million in road improvements at its Witherspoon Woods development, company president Jay Priester told the board.
The board unanimously approved a rezoning that includes up to 175 one- and two-story single-family homes on nearly 63 acres of former farmland at Kistler Farm and Rocky River roads in east Mooresville.
The developer spent three years working with town planners and concerned neighbors on a concept “that I feel will work for everybody,” Gary Witherspoon, whose family owns the property, said Tuesday during a public hearing.
Cambridge Properties significantly trimmed the number of homes proposed. The developer also agreed to road and other improvements, including a gate and 30 feet of vegetation between the development and the neighboring Woodlands community.
