Since the public meetings held in May, community residents in Caernarvon have been working with staff from Landmark Communities and residents in Tawa have been meeting with staff from Rohit Group of Companies to design the new homes being built in their respective communities. This resident design consultation experience is unique to the First Place Program and does not occur in any other new home development in the Edmonton. These meetings have allowed the community to influence the design of the new homes and ensure their "fit" within the community overall.
Input provided by residents has influenced the orientation and the number of new homes, where site access will occur, the provision of private and common amenity space, site landscaping plans, new home exterior design details and colours, all of which should be helpful in attracting young families into the community. Similar approaches were used in the first two First Place projects in Greenview and Canon Ridge and the results are shown in the photos here.
The next steps for the newest two projects will be the submission of a development permit application based on the design consultation process. Following permit approval, site servicing is planned to begin in September. It is hoped show homes will be open in early 2013.
