Citing the need for a smaller floor plan option, home builder M/I Homes appeared before the Shelbyville Plan Commission Monday night asking for a text amendment to the Bear Run planned unit development.
The 152-lot Bear Run subdivision is currently under construction on Progress Parkway on the city’s southeast side. The model home is completed and open and more homes area already under construction.
The original development was approved with one-story homes at 1,520 square feet and two-story homes at 1,800 square feet. Monday’s request in front of the Plan Commission was to also allow for homes at 1,400 square feet – which is the minimum area required by city ordinance.
The lower square footage home only presents another option to home buyers. There are six floor plans currently available for the Bear Run subdivision.
The request from M/I Homes received a favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission. The next step is to get it approved by the Shelbyville Common Council.
