PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

‘What’s going there?’ Pickleball, fitness court coming to Scenic Heights Park We all want an answer to the burning question, “What’s going there?” when we learn about construction projects happening around the city. Here’s a rundown of some of the projects underway around town: ARBOR BLUFF

The first phase of the Arbor Bluff single-family subdivision is being constructed south of Valley View Road and west of Independence Drive. The developer, Lennar, plans to develop 41 acres of land in the first phase with 54 single family lots, two outlot areas, and 13 acres of open space. The open space is comprised of a wooded bluff and creek area where Lennar will install 5,000 feet of trail system. Ultimately, the development is proposed to be built out in four phases, with 196 single family lots once completed.

JACKSON COMMONS PARK Jackson Commons Park is in the planning phase as of early spring 2024, with mass grading of the park site expected to happen sometime this spring and park construction in the fall. The park will be developed by the City, in part nership with Jackson Township, and located near the intersection of Zumbro Avenue and County Road 78. Concept plans include asphalt trails encir cling the wetland area, passive areas for bird or butterfly watching, a sledding hill, play ground, and possibly a bike skills course. The City is seeking public input and feedback on the concept plans for the park. To learn more about the project and provide feedback, visit Engage.ShakopeeMN.gov .
