Proposed 80-Home Garfield Development Runs Into Road, Tree-Clearing Concerns
By Beth Milligan | June 12, 2026
A proposed new development with 40 duplexes – or 80 individual homes – at the southwest corner of Lone Tree and Harris roads raised questions from Garfield Township planning commissioners Wednesday about connections to the neighboring Lone Tree subdivision and tree clearing on the property.
White Pine Ridge is the latest in a series of proposed housing developments for the site in recent years. A previous development team proposed a 40-unit single-family subdivision for the property in 2020, which was approved but never built. Last summer, planning commissioners held a conceptual review to give informal feedback on a new duplex development eyed for the site.
