A public hearing will happen later this spring for a large new subdivision proposed in Juniper Ridge.

A developer is asking to rezone land at the top of Juniper to allow 100 single-family homes to be built.

Director of development services Marvin Kwiatkowski says this would be built on a new extension to Coldwater Drive.

He says there will be a paved road between Juniper and Rose Hill, but, it will be gated, and only opened for emergencies. That was asserted as the long-term plan earlier this month, when council approved a change to the Transportation Master Plan.

“There is a buffer there of open space park area, right at that corner, approximately where the gate is. So there is a treed area that will remain.”

A public hearing for the proposed new housing in Juniper will be coming on June 29.

Developers appear to be showing great interest in Juniper Ridge. Back in March, council approved 40 new single-family homes on Qu’Appelle Boulevard, in Juniper West.
