Erie council to consider 300-home Summerfield plan and $15.38 million in improvements
The proposed 257.8-acre replat includes two pocket parks and a trail corridor; a draft agreement assigns the developer responsibility for an estimated $15.38 million in phased public improvements.

Erie Town Council is scheduled to consider a proposal for 300 homes on about 257.8 acres in Summerfield on Oct. 13. The application would replat the land into 300 lots and 18 tracts; it is not an approved final plat. The Town’s Oct. 13 agenda packet lists the item for Council consideration.
Town planning staff describe the proposed mix as 100 active-adult homes and 200 traditional detached homes. The staff report describes the mix, while the proposed plat says homes in Blocks 1–6 would be age-targeted or age-restricted under the Summerfield annexation agreement.
The proposed plat designates two pocket parks and a spine-trail corridor through several tracts. Other tracts are labeled for private open space, utilities, drainage or future development, so the plan does not designate all tract acreage as park or open space.
A draft development agreement estimates $15.38 million in public improvements across three phases, including streets, sidewalks, utilities, drainage, parks and trails. The agreement’s cost exhibit assigns the developer responsibility for paying for and building the improvements and calls for initial acceptance of all three phases by July 31, 2032.
The developer would maintain the improvements until the Town accepts them in writing for maintenance. The agreement also requires a two-year warranty for improvements dedicated to the Town. The July 2032 date is for initial infrastructure acceptance, not a stated deadline for completing the homes.
