Update May 3, 2018, 8:00pm: Tonight the Gastonia Planning Commission voted to deny Live Well Homes' rezoning request for The Enclave development. Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting in person or who signed the online petition. The developer will likely appeal to City Council, so there may be one more vote before this decision is final. More details will be posted when available.
LiveWell Homes, the developer of Enclave at Cramer Woods, is requesting to rezone a portion of the development from RS-12 to RS-8. The lots would be resized from 90' to 60' wide and there would be 3 homes built in place of every 2 as originally planned.

The area in red would be changed to increase the density of future homes built here.
This will impact 3 main areas:
1) Increased Traffic! Stowe Road and Huffstetler Road, Cramer Woods, Tomshire Estates, Cramerton Middle School, New Hope Elementary School will be affected by this change.
2) Our schools are at capacity now. How will they handle the related increase of students?
3) Public Services: Fire, Police, EMS, Water and Sewer. We want to make sure we have the infrastructure to handle this change.
Please consider attending the rezoning meeting to voice your concerns. The City of Gastonia typically approves rezoning requests like this unless there is significant support against it. The rezoning meeting is on May 3 at 5:30 PM at Gastonia City Hall.

This developer is trying to change the rules midstream. It is not fair for all the home buyers that have already committed to purchase. It is setting a bad president for future development. When can we believe what developers say when they has city or county zoning boards for future housing requests.
The situation around Huffstetler road is already dangerous. It is almost impossible to enter/exit at peak times of the day. Using McDade as a pass-thru will compound the problem and put the neighborhood children walking to surrounding schools at risk.
Our schools are already over crowded, our roads are at capacity and for greedy builders to come in and want to build 18 more home only to line their pockets with additional cash would mean the city cares more about the greedy builders than it does the people that live in Gastonia and Gaston County.
Smaller lots will stretch schools that are already at capacity and drive existing property values down as well as increase the carbon footprint of the neighborhood.
Accurate and I agree! The current owner’s in the Enclave bought under bait and switch tactics. This is dirty business and all about profits for the builder NOT value for the residents!
Please do not allow this
Our roads can't handle anymore traffic and stop destroying land. There are enough homes already built and for sale that people can buy. Enough!

Not opposed to the development; just feel like the original plan including larger lots, and full brick construction would be more consistent with what we have in Cramer Woods. Smaller lots will just add to the already heavy traffic in the area.
