BUILDER PLANS 170 NEW HOMES ON NORTH SPRIGG

A Dallas, Texas, home builder plans to build a new subdivision along the new North Sprigg Street extension.

Holigan Homes will file preliminary subdivision development plans with the Cape Girardeau Planning and Zoning Commission this month.

Holigan's plans call for homes in the low $100,000 range, to be constructed in an area along the Sprigg extention, which will run from Bertling to Lexington. Lexington is being constructed along the north edge of Melody Lane.

"There's as many as 170 lots there," said Harold Lineberry, of Holigan Homes' Cape Girardeau office, 1301 N. Kingshighway.

Holigan Homes, which owns a stretch of land along Sprigg, submitted a preliminary sketch of its proposed plan to the P&Z Commission May 8.

"The P&Z board has already returned the sketch with some proposed changes," said Lineberry. "We're in the process of making changes and preparing the preliminary subdivision plan."

The next move is up to Holigan Homes, noted a spokesperson of the P&Z Commission.

Holigan Homes has engaged Bowen & Lawson Professonal Engineers & Surveyors to prepare the preliminary lot layouts and subdivision plans.

"We hope to have the plans back to the P&Z Commission by May 23," said Lineberry. "Then, once the company receives the approval by the city, we'll start building."

Building homes in Cape Girardeau County is not new for Holigan Homes.

"We have acquired some lots in the Annwood subdivision at Jackson," said Lineberry. "We're already building homes there. We'll be building in other areas until we get the subdivision under way."

Holigan Homes builds nationwide.

"We build as many as 1,000 homes year," said Lineberry, a native Missourian who is in charge of homebuilding in this state. Lineberry has been with Holigan Homes 14 years.
