The Gibsonville Board of Aldermen approved plans for a 55-townhouse subdivision Monday, Aug. 6.
The board approved rezoning 11 acres at 962 Burlington Avenue. Developer Joe Kupiec of CDI Builders said that he plans to build a "quality product" that will attract younger buyers and well as older people who want to downsize and who want maintenance-free living.
Prices will range from the high $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s.
Grant Fox, who lives near the property, said that neighbors are not opposed to the development. However, he said that the 20-foot setbacks from adjoining properties would be too close. He asked that the plans be changed to require 50-foot setbacks.
However, the developer said the project wouldn't be feasible with setbacks that high.
The board approved the project 4–1.
