Farmstead Grand Lease Part 2

Today was sign-up day for the Farmstead Grand Release of the Designer and Patio homes. The available Designer floorplans were: Avery, Blair, Calvin, Charles, Delaney, Foster, Grandin, Keaton, Miles, Redfield, Springfield, and Wyatt. The available Patio floorplans were: Amelia, Edenton, Kiawah, Maxwell, Wilmington, and Winthrop. The Avery is the model that we are picking.

We were able to get a sign-up slot, but not as great as we had hoped. Hopefully we will still get on of the lots we want. It will be an anxious few days until we get to see what is left for us. We officially go through the process on Saturday January 16th. We started this process in October and we are finally getting close to making this a done deal. I think we have been through the floorplans and different options 100s of times, looking over every possible detail. In the end it all should be worth it once we get what we want.

Finished Initial Pages

I have completed the pages that I wanted to build out. These pages are for the Development Plan for the overall development and then one specifically for Subarea H. I also pulled down all of the documents for the Plat on Phase 1 and Phase 2. Grove City has not provided the legislation yet for Phase 2 and I will keep looking for that.

The next page I want to work on is an archive and overview of the development from the Fischer website. This will have all of the available models and their initial prices so these can be tracked. I believe they will probably increase over the next year, but it will be interesting to see how much they do go up. I am not sure when I will get them completed, but hopefully I will get them done by next weekend. From there I will be able to tweak them. I have spent a ton of time already tweaking the four pages that exist and always trying to make them perfect.

Another page I want to eventually get to making is the available utility options. The streets have not been loaded into any databases yet. This means I have not been able to get a good idea of what internet services are available. I do have some preliminary information on what other utilities are used in the development.

I have also worked on getting this website into various search engines and also worked on optimizing the results. This should result in getting some traffic to this site especially as Phase 2 opens up and people will likely be searching more.

Updated Thoroughfare Map

I found this updated PDF thoroughfare map for Grove City. There will potentially be a stoplight at the east side of the development on Hawthorne Pkwy. This will be beneficial once more homes are built and the traffic starts to increase. It will be interesting to see if this does in fact get developed down the line.

Phase 2 Grand Releases

It looks like Phase 2 is going to start the Grand Releases in January 2021. It looks like they will start with the Masterpiece Collection which includes these floorplans: Bayberry, Clay, Everett, Hayden, Keller, Leland, Marshall, Mitchell, Paxton, and Stanton. The sign-ups will go out on January 5th and the Grand Release is slated for January 9th.

The releases for Design and Patio models will go out later this month. We are looking forward to getting the process going!

Hello world!

The plan for this site is to document all of the plans for the new development by Fischer Homes of Farmstead in Grove City Ohio. We are planning to move into this development in 2021. I have been gathering a lot of information as we researched a place to build a house. The initial goal is mostly just so I have one place to collect all of the information and keep it for historical archival purposes after development is complete. The Development department of Grove City has done a lot of great work publishing these resources and I want to make sure they are still visible for a long time since I have no idea how long they will keep them published.

After that, who knows what this will become. Maybe it can be a resource for the community to use once more people have moved in. It should be a fun project regardless.
