The stalled Phase 8 of the Aston Woods development has been altered to include more units than originally planned.

The project, by Fox Hills Development, will now include 7 buildings containing 32 units. The original plan called for 11 detached single-family homes.

In 1998, the 265-acre Aston Woods project was approved by the County and was to include 540 dwelling units and a golf course.

In August 2003, the plat for Phase 8 was approved by the Rural Zoning Commission. Due to unstable soils on the site, the developer hasn't been able to start construction.

Fox Hills has reworked the site to rearrange the lots in the plat, and had made the lots accessible via a private drive off of Shady Lane. The density has been increased from 1.30 to 3.79 dwellings per acre.

The amended development plan has been approved by the Regional Planning Commission.

The Rural Zoning Commission has not yet added this case to their agenda.
