Roanoke officials oppose townhome development on Marshall Creek Road, US 377
A townhome project slated for Marshall Creek Road and US 377 in Roanoke will not move forward after the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council discussed the development proposal at a joint workshop.
No vote was made during the Sept. 9 work session, but a majority of council and commission came to the conclusion that townhomes were not the right development for the property.
The overview: The proposed development consisted of 154 townhome units on about 13.8 acres. Amenities included a pool and a clubhouse, and each unit had a two-car garage and a front yard, said Richard Darragh, a representative of JPI, a development and construction company. Darragh’s proposal also included widening Marshall Creek Road at the US 377 intersection to include two lanes going westbound and one lane going eastbound.
“I don’t feel like townhomes are what’s best for that site,” Mayor Pro Tem Holly Gray said.
