Ferguson Farm 2 is a 92 lot subdivision and planned unit development (62 building pads, 19 open space lots and 11 parking lots). The development will be a dynamic, multi-use destination offering a convenient shopping and dining experience in combination with upscale professional offices and hotel stay. The 31 acre development is zoned Urban Mixed Use with a Community Commercial Mixed Use growth policy land use designation. Ferguson Farm 2 is an extension of Ferguson Farm 1 (aka Spring Creek Village Resort). The vision of Ferguson Farm 2 is to reflect small town shopping with maximum flexibility and innovation in design. The goal of the Ferguson Farm 2 development is to create a quality development that benefits the community both aesthetically and economically, as well as: Provide an appealing environment for work and play. Develop an attractive pedestrian friendly shopping experience. Create a trendy destination for food, drink, and stay that is within walking and biking distance of large, residential neighborhoods. Design a unique trail experience that provides direct access to neighboring businesses. Create open space features that embrace the outdoor experience.
Neighborhood Center Amenities The primary focal point and the neighborhood center for the PUD is the 1.7 acre open space and trail corridor along the Maynard Border Ditch. The corridor is within 600 feet of the geographic center of the subdivision. The trail system in Ferguson Farm 2 will create an integral link between Huffine Lane and the existing trail system through Cottonwood Condos, Valley West and Flanders Mill. The trail system in Ferguson Farm 2 will be a tiered system with a 6’ natural fines wide trail on the ground and a 14’ wide skyline bridge trail above. The skyline bridge trail will be accessed via stairs in Blocks 4, 6 and 7 and an elevator in Block 6. At 18’ tall from the ground to the bottom of the decking and 24 feet overall, the skyline bridge will extend from Huffine Lane to Fallon Street. The bridge trail will span across Field Street, Valley Commons and the alley. Once on top of the bridge, pedestrians will have a view of the surrounding area and some mountain views. The lots abutting the skybridge trail corridor can offer patio seating adjacent to the surface trail. Halfway down the trail, where it intersects with Valley Commons Drive, there will be a half-acre open space lot. This park like setting will be the perfect venue for festivals and concerts on the lawn in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Lots along the trail may have the option to construct an upper level connection between the bridge and their building with Property Owners Association and city review and approval.
Lots along the trail corridor are expected to embrace the amenity. This may be accomplished in many ways including, but not limited to: designing a building that fronts the corridor, incorporating additional architectural features, provides appealing landscaping and/or adds patio seating.
