The Greenville County Planning Commission recently held a meeting on July 24, where several key decisions were made regarding new subdivisions in the area. Here is a recap of the meeting and the outcomes of the various proposals:
Rosemary Grove is a proposed cluster subdivision situated near the intersection of Garlington and Roper Mountain roads. The subdivision, covering a total area of 13.61 acres, will comprise 24 lots, resulting in a density of approximately 1.76 dwellings per acre. Concerns were raised during the meeting regarding the potential impact of the subdivision on nearby Shannon Creek and the walkability to Lake Forest Elementary School. Despite these concerns, the commission unanimously approved the subdivision, with a stipulation that the design be modified to include a sidewalk.
Laurens Glen is a proposed development located along McKinney and Jonesville roads south of Five Forks. Spanning 36.93 acres, the subdivision will feature 62 lots, resulting in a density of approximately 1.68 units per acre. While a member of the community expressed opposition to the development due to its density, previous landowners supported the proposed subdivision, citing its potential as an asset to the area. The commission also approved a variance for the subdivision, which required a secondary entrance for residents in developments with over 30 lots.
A variance was granted from Land Development Regulation 10.3.7, which mandates the screening of roof-mounted mechanical equipment from public roads or neighboring properties in commercial settings. The variance was approved unanimously for an HVAC system intended for a business in University Square.
These decisions reflect the ongoing development and growth in the Greenville County area, with careful consideration given to factors such as density, infrastructure, and community impact. The approved subdivisions and rezoning initiatives aim to enhance the livability and functionality of the region while meeting the needs of its residents.
