The Autumn Shores residential development includes 72 lots averaging about two-thirds of an acre in size with a minimum frontage of 120 feet. Each overlooks a lake, a pond, open space, or Springfield Plains Elementary School ? not another residence.
The planned unit development came from the work of developer Dale Frenkel, who is also building a home in the neighborhood located off of Bridge Lake Road north of Davisburg Road in Springfield Township.
Frenkel has more than 18 year experience as a builder and developer, and he is proud of the features at Autumn Shores.
The creative layout includes a one-and-one-half-mile asphalt trail (which leads to Springfield Plains Elementary School) and an almost one-mile wood chip nature trail.
Various builders have created homes in the community, but standard guidelines ensure compatible designs. Six lots with frontage on Waumegah Lake are still available, and Frenkel anticipates the recent addition of an augmentation well on the lake will make those lots even more attractive.
‘The unknown has been resolved,? he said.
Open space was an important feature when the planned unit development was approved. Frenkel fought for the preservation of many old trees, with home footprints carefully planned to take advantage of existing trees, two of which frame the entrance to a special section of the community called, ‘The Bluffs.?
‘Some of the trees are as old as George Washington,? he said.
Frenkel is especially proud of a home currently under construction by his own building company. The home offers the highest quality building materials, luxurious design, granite countertops, nine-foot ceilings and a beautiful view of woods behind the home.
‘No one lives behind this house except the deer,? he said.
