A new subdivision will be built in Edgerton for the first time in two decades.

City Council approved the conceptual plan for more than 80 acres at the southwest corner of Braun and Eighth Streets.

The Timber Creek Subdivision will have around 275 homes with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3 bathrooms and 2 to 3 car garages built by Rausch Coleman Homes ranging from $275,000 to $350,000 and 1,300 to 2,400 square feet.

Don Roberts, mayor, said residents had been telling him for years housing is a top priority.

“This project will offer opportunities for first-time homebuyers, growing families, and seniors to join our beautiful community, as well as new homes for Edgerton families whose needs have changed and want to stay here,” he said. “We’re thrilled that Rausch Coleman is investing in the future of Edgerton.”

Katy Crow, development services director, said there will also be a one acre internal park area with walking trails, playground area, sidewalks and more. The development will be built in four phases over five years beginning in the 3rd quarter of 2023 with 80 lots.

Crow said Rausch Coleman was seeking variances with side yards at five feet per house for a total of 10 feet between houses with fire retardant materials.
