About 150 residents of the large Stonehaven neighborhood in southeast Charlotte filed into McClintock Middle School on Thursday night to discuss concerns about a developer’s plan to build a community of duplexes and triplexes on land adjacent to their neighborhood.
Hopper Communities, a Charlotte-based real estate development company that specializes in townhouses, wants to build about 90 two-story duplexes and triplexes on wooded land that is currently owned by the Alexander Youth Network. The development would be called Cardinal Landing.
The biggest concerns about the development, some Stonehaven residents say, are twofold: the road access plan that’s currently filed with the city, which calls for access to Cardinal Landing through a small residential street in the center of the neighborhood and not a larger thoroughfare that connects to Monroe Road; and worries that the neighborhood’s lush natural habitat would be harmed.
