Best use of Lake Highlands land debated

On June 1, editor Christina Hughes Babb posted the commentary, “This month in Lake Highlands History: single family homes deemed ‘unrealistic,’” about the 2008 fight over rezoning of 10 acres at Skillman and Church:

214.649.8440

SOLD 10026 Clearmeadow

SOLD 8935 Larchwood

SOLD 10415 Mapleridge

SOLD 10611 McCree

SOLD 7126 Fernmeadow

SOLD 10018 Wallbrook

SOLD 9658 Bryson

SOLD 5820 Milton (both sides) Almost there...7915 Forest Trail

About five years ago precisely, the Dallas City Council, despite heavy opposition, approved rezoning of a 10-acre swath of land at the southwest corner of Skillman and Church from single-family to multifamily use. A developer of high-end senior living facilities planned to build there. Much of the surrounding Lake Highlands community opposed this project because, they said, the land was meant for singlefamily homes.

But, the experts said, that’s unrealistic.

Yet today, the land is being cleared for a new subdivision comprising — believe it — Single. Family. Houses.

Thank you for your article on the SkillmanChurch property and for mentioning The Tradition-Lovers Lane, our senior living community under construction on Lovers Lane. I am delighted to hear that things are on track for the Skillman-Church land. We have been supporters of Lake Highlands for a long time – our corporate offices have been in the heart of the area on Skillman for six years. We wish Stephen Davis with MasterPlan Development much success with the Skillman-Church land. Also, we are fans of Mark Dann and Highland Homes. Our current Lovers Lane location next door to Central Market is great for us. From Tradition Senior Living’s perspective, “everyone is happy!”

—Jonathan Perlman, Tradition Senior Living

While I appreciate new single-family homes versus apartments being built in the community I love, I would like to see more affordable new-construction single-family homes for middle-income folks like my family. A family of four with a combined income of $150K a year can’t afford $650K for a home and still save for retirement and college. Just my opinion. —LH Dreamer
