Successful property development begins with a vision, followed by prudent planning and precise implementation. Carrington Homes’ vision for residential construction, is that its homes should have character and be compatible with both the land upon which the subdivision will be constructed and the surrounding land uses. We do our utmost to preserve mature trees, riparian buffers, and other attractive topographical features to enhance the natural surroundings of our finished homes. Carrington Homes offers the landowner interested in developing his or her property several options. First, Carrington Homes looks for landowners who are interested in selling their property for single-family residential construction. Second, Carrington Homes is looking for landowners who desire to develop their property, but lack the time, resources, and/or experience to bring their residential subdivision concept to fruition. Carrington Homes offers such landowners a one-stop shop for all of their subdivision needs. For landowners looking to develop their land, Carrington Homes’ prudent planning and precise implementation of the development vision begins with a development agreement with the landowner that typically provides for Carrington Homes to perform the following functions on behalf of the landowner:
1. Laying out the subdivision on the land, taking into account the appropriate density for aesthetic reasons and to provide a healthy economic return to the landowner. The unique characteristics of the land are always considered in the layout of the subdivision.
2. Processing all applications for necessary approvals and permits for the subdivision, including, without limitation, all Plan Commission approvals, City Council approvals, Board of Zoning Appeals approvals, Army Corp. of Engineer approvals and permits, County Health and Engineering Department approvals, Ohio Department of Transportation approvals, and Utility Provider approvals. Carrington Homes would attend all public hearings and respond to all requests for information.
