A new housing subdivision for Perry’s west side is on the drawing board, and the city’s planning and zoning commission and city council will soon consider making the zoning changes needed for the development.
Douglas Ivan Escalona of Ankeny, president of Golden Hammer Contractors Inc., owns the 14-acre tract between W. Fourth and W. Eighth streets and north of Warford and Lucinda streets, and he has plans for 54 lots in a planned unit development.
The housing tract would be called Golden Acres, according to a master site plan drafted by Bishop Engineering.
Escalona seeks to have the property rezoned from residential duplex (RD) to planned unit development (PUD), which allows mixed-use residential projects and allows greater
flexibility in land uses, lot sizes and building locations.
The Magnolia Park project on 28th Street is a PUD.
The Golden Acres project would see the construction of detached, single-family homes to be built over two phases. The plan calls for extending St. Paul and Pattee streets eastward and merging them southward to intersect with Warford Street.
The Perry Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing Nov. 9 in order to consider the proposal and will provide a recommendation to the Perry City Council in time for a public hearing at its Nov. 15 meeting.
