A lot of thought has gone into the Phelps
Family proposal…and a lot of community input. In community
surveys, neighbors expressed a desire for an upscale, specialty
grocery store, nice restaurants and resident-serving retail.
Working with the architects of Hart/Howerton, the project design
breaks apart buildings and employs materials and architecture to
create a rural shopping village similar to The Barnyard and
Crossroads in Carmel, California. This is not a strip mall. Far from it. It
is a neighborhood-serving, rural-style village.
The 11-acre site lies on the northeast corner
of the three-legged intersection of SR 68 and Corral de Tierra
Road.

The disturbed grassland would be replaced with
10 retail buildings and a high-end, gourmet grocery store. Most
of the existing oak trees will remain just where they are. A new
lush landscaping plan helps meld the new buildings into the
existing rural landscape. Separate buildings will be linked with
pedestrian pathways and landscaped outdoor plazas.
