Proposed Subdivisions Get Planning Commission Approval
Both cases will be considered by the Woodstock City Council later this month.
A company who wants to build two subdivisions in Woodstock received nods of approval of both of their petitions last night by the Woodstock Planning Commission.
The commission during its meeting on Thursday unanimously recommended approval of two requests by Oak Hall Companies, LLC to build new homes in the city.
One request is for the city to annex and rezone about 82.5 acres of land at the intersection of Barnes and Trickum roads from R-40/residential and agricultural in Cherokee County to R-3A to allow for 196 single family detached homes on the land.
That petition has been met with reservation by some area residents, and the Cherokee County Commission agreed not to file a formal objection if the company agreed to some stipulations to mitigate the accompanied growth.
Agreeing to the county's requests forced the company to slightly scale back its proposal to just under 200 homes.
The second petition is for Woodstock to rezone 17.05 acres of land along Ragsdale Road to build 51 single-family residential homes.
The property was originally rezoned in 2006 for an active adult, gated townhome community that was to be called StoneLedge. The property is partially developed with curb cuts, decorative lighting and streets, but no homes have been built.
The Woodstock City Council will consider final approval or denial of both cases during its Nov. 18 meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at the Chambers at City Center.
