There shouldn’t have been any doubt about how the Guilford County Planning Board would rule on the Patriot’s Landing project, considering who was representing the developer:
Part of the proposed Patriot’s Landing also adjoins the new Haw River State Park, which lent an edge of controversy to the 775-unit development because state officials had hoped to buy the same land for the fledgling park.
But given that the land is likely to be developed, Patriot’s Landing will be so carefully designed that it will make an excellent neighbor to the park and existing residents of the area, said Greensboro attorney Henry Isaacson, representing would-be developer Bluegreen Communities.
Its “unified” design with large amounts of open space is far superior to what could result if the land were developed in smaller parcels by numerous builders in an uncoordinated way, he said.
“That would surely be nothing more than hodgepodge development,” Isaacson said. “I submit this is much better and smarter development for Guilford County.”
That’s exactly is the same argument the Heart of the Triad guys make.
