A 39-acre parcel of land between Interstate 95 and the Eagle Lakes community to its east is the planned site of 81 single-family homes.
Lots in the gated community would be 75 feet wide, with a density of two units per acre.
A rezoning required for the proposed Wexford Cove community, a planned unit development that would become the northern counterpart to the existing Wexford Reserve development in Volusia County, won the approval of Flagler County's Planning and Land Regulation Board with unanimous vote at an April 12 board meeting.
The land is a former tree farm that has since been c cleared as pasture land, said attorney Joey Posey of the Storch Law Firm, representing the developer.
Lots would be 75 feet wide; density would be two units per acre.
"We're really talking about a $400,000-and-up type home," he said. "... It's a continuation of what's already going on in Volusia."
Posey noted that there are already single-family homes to the parcel's north and south.
"In all respects, it's really infill," Posey said.
The developer expects that Volusia County will provide utility services, and the community's entrance is gated and on a private road in Volusia County.
"There's no upkeep and maintenance that would be the responsibility of Flagler County with public roads," Posey said.
The community would have a passive park and a 6-foot-wide walking trail that would connect with an existing trail in the Wexford Reserve community in Volusia County, he added.
"This seems to me the best of what you could make of this the wonkiness of this L-shaped parcel," Posey said.
The proposed community will also ultimately require a future land use map amendment, county Growth Management Director Adam Mengel said.
The rezoning —from the county's agriculture zoning district designation to its planned unit development designation — won't take into effect until after the future land map amendment is approved. It will also require the approval of the Flagler County Commission, Mengel said.
