Oconee County Planning Commission Recommends Against Townley Rezone Request For 120-Lot Subdivision

***Split Vote After Citizens Complain About Traffic***

Townley Family Partnership’s plans for a 120-lot residential subdivision on 300 acres north of Hog Mountain Road between Rocky Branch and Hodges Mill roads received a setback on Monday when the Oconee County Planning Commission recommended denial of a rezone for the project.

The 4 to 3 vote against the rezone request by the Townley Partnership came after its representative agreed to double the delay in the start of the project to 10 years and to add two segments of multi-use paths to the development to connect with the county’s Master Trail Plan.
