The Havre de Grace Planning Commission is set to recommend approval this week of a redevelopment project along Saint John Street that aims to turn a warehouse into single-family homes.

The project, referred to as Seneca Shores, will convert a 25,000-square-foot abandoned commercial warehouse property at 121 Saint John St. into five single-family homes, according to a planning department staff report.

The gray warehouse, formerly occupied by the electric hovercraft manufacturer VonMercier, and the warehouse’s parking will be demolished and the 1.67-acre site will be devoid of forest, according to the staff report.

Project plans show the five homes will be between 6,256 and 7,000 square feet each, outfitted with decks, personal driveways, porches and attached two-car garages along with public sidewalks along Saint John Street.

The area of town the project is located in is zoned Residential Business. The zoning allows for housing, businesses and mixed-use developments.

Since the development is expected to generate fewer than 249 daily vehicle trips, a Traffic Impact Analysis — a study done to identify the impact new developments will have on existing traffic conditions — was not required for the project.

The project applicant is Robert Steeves of Bay State Land Services and developer Clark Turner with Trademark Homes – the group behind the demolition and development of the Harford Memorial Hospital site, also in Havre de Grace.

Havre de Grace’s Planning Commission is scheduled to discuss more about the project during its meeting Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall, at 711 Pennington Ave.
