The Oconee Count Planning Commission, in a 7 to 3 vote last week, sided with the county planning staff and recommended approval of a rezone request of nearly 50 acres on the north side of Barnett Shoals Road east of Watkinsville for a 12-lot residential subdivision.
The county planning staff recommended approval of the rezone only on the condition that lot size be at least three acres–a condition that the property owner opposed.
