DANVILLE -- It took 21/2 years, many revisions, and a marathon six-hour meeting, but SummerHill Homes finally received approval from the Danville Town Council to move ahead with a 69-home project off Diablo Road.
At the end of the public meeting, which lasted into the wee hours Wednesday, council members unanimously approved the long-debated development that will be set on 38 acres of a 410-acre Magee Ranches property bordered by Diablo and McCauley roads.
"We're very excited to obtain the approval and we're looking forward to the grand opening in a couple of years," said SummerHill CEO Robert Freed.
The project will include 66 single-family homes on the east side of the Magee Ranch property -- average lot size of 13,000 to14,000 square feet -- and three larger lots on the west side off McCauley Road.
First planned for 78 lots, the project's most recent revision put the open space to 372 acres. Developers say it will give public access to currently inaccessible area.
"It's a real gem in Danville, so to be able to preserve 91 percent of that land is really a huge benefit," said SummerHill's vice president of development, Wendi Baker.
