Council approves changes to Artisan Walk

Huber Heights City Council unanimously agreed this week to approve Liberty Savings Bank’s request of a major change to the previously approved basic and detailed development plan for the Artisan Walk subdivision.

Ryan Homes wants to build homes in Artisan Walk similar to what they’re constructing in Carriage Trails, doing away with the original design of houses having garages with driveways off the backs of lots.

Artisan Walk — which is at the northeast corner of Chambersburg and Bellefontaine roads — was approved in 2007 for homes with rear-entry garages, and a year later, the first houses were built.

Then the housing market crashed and the development — once owned by California-based Valeo — went through foreclosure. There are 42 lots remaining for phase I of the development. Phase I is expected to take two years to build out. STEVEN MATTHEWS
