BELLEVUE PARK, CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PENNSYLVANIA

built by Weaver Homes

BelleVue Park (BellevueParkHomes.com) located in Cranberry Township PA had very specific zoning requirements and there were no “off the shelf” plans available to suit Weaver Homes' needs. Starting from scratch, Carl Cuozzo worked with Chad and Bill Weaver of Weaver Homes to develop a narrow lot rear entry garage home plan that met the neighborhood zoning requirements for the sub division.

We first began working with Carl and Design Basics in 2009. Our newest project at the time, BelleVue Park had very specific zoning requirements and there were no “off the shelf” plans available to suit our needs. We had to essentially start from scratch to develop a narrow lot rear entry garage home plan that met the neighborhood zoning requirements for the sub division. The larger estate lots in BelleVue Park posed a different challenge with garage set back requirements and orientation. Needless to say,

BelleVue Park has been a huge success and we plan to open our newest model home in July. This particular home plan was Carl’s design from the start. I simply gave him some parameters for size and room layout and he took it from there. I honestly think it is the most efficient use of 2,300 SF I have ever seen. The home feels much larger and has received rave reviews from customers and the local realtor community.

We are currently working with Carl to develop additional plans for our next project, VISTA RIDGE, located in Adams Township PA and look forward to continued success with Carl and Design Basics.

Design Basics Land Planning services

At Design Basics, we realize that more and more builders are becoming land developers. And land developers are becoming more and more involved in the total design of the neighborhoods, and control of the homes that populate them.

This vertical approach to neighborhood development has created a need for formalized development and consolidated land planning.

We have the expertise to take developers from the conceptual drawing stage all the way through plan selection. We’ve simplified the entire process. All you do is provide us with a legal description of the property and answer a few simple questions:
