October 28, 2024, The Islander, Page 3 Southwest Glynn 271 acre rezone put on hold By Matthew J. Permar Glynn County’s Mainland Planning Commission (MPC) deferred action two weeks ago (Wednesday, Oct. 16) on the rezoning of a 271 acre tract of property off of Myers Hill Rd. in the southern part of the county, west of 1-95 Exit 29. The deferral was at the request of the applicant, Jake Lemmings of Roberts Civil Engineering, on behalf of property owners Laura Ebbert and Anna Wheeler and was primarily due to the large number of people who attended the meeting to oppose the rezoning. The property consists of two par cels, parcel #1 is 189 acres, and zoned Planned Development (PD), parcel #2 is 82 acres, and zoned Forest Agricul tural (FA). The two-part rezoning request is to decrease the density on parcel #1 from 8,000 sq. ft. lots to 7,000 sq. ft., which would increase the density, which is currently 250 lots under the existing PD text. In addition, the owners are ask ing to rezone parcel #2 from FA to the same PD text as parcel #1. Under the FA zoning the current density is one unit per acre with well and septic or one unit per half an acre with public water and sewer. Note: According to Planning Man ager Stefanie Leif, there is public wa ter available off Myers Hill Rd., but no public sewer. The overall change would be to al low both single family dwellings and townhomes on the two parcels with a density of 450 units - 300 single fam ily residences and 150 townhomes. The lot size for single family would be 7,000 sq. ft. and 1,600 sq. ft. for the townhomes. During his comments Jake Lem mings said they had made adjust ments to the layout based on conver sations with residents of a nearby neighborhood to the east who had con cerns about drainage. Lemmings also noted that his cli ent was aware that townhomes are an issue of concern for the nearby residents. He said based on that they had reduced the density of the development. Lemmings said his clients were aware of the issues that people would be bringing up during the public hear ing and told the MPC they would go ahead and request the deferral in or der to meet with residents and go back to the drawing board to work on revi sions to the overall project. Lemmings also said they have been discussing getting public sewer to the property with the Brunswick Glynn Joint Water and Sewer Commission and the number of units would be con nected to sewer availability. Boatright moved forward with public hearing noting that the prop erty owner had already asked for a deferral, which was later approved. In other business the MPC: • approved a site plan for a new 59,500 sq. ft. distribution facility and associated infrastructure at 120 Cher okee Trail. The site is zoned Planned Development (PD); • approved a site plan for a new 400 sq. ft. commercial office trailer and as sociated infrastructure at 190 Front age Road.
