EDMOND Fairfax property owners' campaign to keep $250,000 to $300,000 garden homes out of their neighborhood failed this week before the city council.

Council members approved a preliminary plat for 31 single-family lots to be built northwest of Covell Road and Sooner Road. The average lot size is 7,500 square feet.

Other homes surrounding the Fairfax golf course are valued at $500,000 and more.

We are very concerned about the small tract home versus the estate, large custom homes, Fred Stanley, 3208 Cumberland, said during his PowerPoint presentation. Garden homes are not appropriate.

Danette Sanchez, 3101 Garden Hill Circle, called the garden homes cookie cutter homes with the same garage doors and same color of brick.

Stanley said the developers, Fairfax Joint Ventures LLC and J.W. Armstrong, promised the homes would cost between $380,000 and $1.3 million.
