A number of revisions were made to the original full draft of the UDO to clarify and address concerns that were raised during the public input process. Staff realizes that there may still be issues or concerns that need to be addressed; however, the Planning Commission has spent almost three years working on the document. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward the document on to the Town Council with a recommendation of approval with the condition of addressing any outstanding major concerns. Town Council can then table the UDO, if they so desire, to give time for concerns to be discussed and addressed in further detail. TMS#: 129-06-13-005 Location: Renau Boulevard Description: one lot totaling approximately 0.23 acres (formerly unimproved right-of-way for Theresa Drive) Request: Annexation and zoning to PUD and PUD amendment of Pine Forest Country Club to include this additional property The property owner, Tom Limehouse, is requesting for the above referenced parcel to be annexed and incorporated into the existing Pine Forest Country Club (PFCC) PUD. Mr. Limehouse owns the adjacent lot, which is already in the Town limits and PFCC. The plan is for these two properties to be combined, and then subdivided into four single-family residential lots. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map, which calls for four to six dwelling units per acre. Based on this information, both the proposed annexation and zoning classification appear to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan & Update 2009-2011. TMS#: 136-12-03-016, 017, and 018 Location: 104, 106, and 108 Pinewood Drive Description: three lots of approximately 0.39, 0.46, and 0.45 acres Request: Annexation and zoning to R-2 The property owner, Homebuyers SC, LLC, is requesting for the above referenced parcels to be annexed and zoned R-2 Single-family Residential. There is an existing home on each property; however, the owners are requesting to connect to sewer and must petition for annexation in order to be granted sewer service from SCPW as the properties are adjacent to the current Town limits. These properties are included in the Town’s ‘Medium Residential Neighborhood’ area as identified within the Town’s 2009-2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map, which calls for four to six dwelling units per acre. Based on this information, both the proposed annexation and zoning classification appear to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan & Update 2009-2011.  DR JO R MA RE NA U BL VD Annexation Exhibit showing TMS 129-06-13-005 Renau Boulevard Legend Road Centerlines Parcels Summerville Zoning 0 25 50 100 June 11, 2018 µ150 200 Feet Disclaimer: This map is a graphic representation of data obtained from various sources.
