Bluebird Park Update


Slowly but surely we have made progress getting approval for our new community - Bluebird Park.  The process to get a zoning change and community development approved in Glen Rose is a bit lengthy. First you need approval from the Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Committee, then City Council then back to P&Z and finally back to City Council.   So far we have gotten the first approval from P&Z and City Council. We are scheduled to go back to P & Z on June 18th. . Each time we go to P&Z there is a $125 processing charge.

The property is getting cleared of tree branches and other unwanted articles left on the property by the previous owner.  Once we have final approval from the city of Glen Rose, hopefully on July 9th, we will put in the utilities and the road.  We plan to start construction on houses in mid July. If you know anyone that might be interested in purchasing our energy efficient cottages, please tell them about our new community Bluebird Park.

Thank you for visiting!

Bluebird Park

It has always been my fondest hope to put in an extremely affordable housing community in the city of Glen Rose. At last it looks like this may become a reality.

Many months ago we were able to purchase a small parcel land on Gunshot Road. This is the road right off of Highway 67. A Texaco station is on the corner. We are in the process of getting the property re-zoned to a planned development (PD) and readying the land to build new homes.

I am drawing the floor plans. The new houses will be from about 1000 square feet to 1400 square feet. We are hoping that the new houses will cost under $150,000 so that they will be affordable for firemen, police officers, and teachers and other people that serve our community. Naturally they will be energy efficient! Thereby keeping the utility bills low.

Below is the site plan. You can see that we plan to plant an orchard. Right now we are considering Pear trees, Pomegranate trees, and fig bushes. Nothing is definite or planted as yet. But there are about 13 native pecan trees in the open community area.













We invite you to go to our website to learn more. We will be posting the progress of the development both on here and on Facebook.
