On the heels of the Grovetown City Council voting down a rezoning request to accommodate a proposed subdivision along East Robinson Avenue, across from Grovetown Elementary School, the city has been asked to approve the preliminary plat for another planned neighborhood.
Hidden Crossing is a proposed townhome project from developer Matt Eschelbach, along Hardy Drive. According to the submitted plans, the first phase of the project would comprise of some nine single-family attached units, with an average lot size of more than 2,400 square feet.
The dwellings would be spread out across two buildings, 20 feet apart, one with four units and another with five. The second phase would follow suit, including with lot size, but with 10 townhome units, six in one building and four in another.
Hidden Crossing I is slated for development on two parcels totaling less than an acre at 206 and 208 Hardy Drive. The Grovetown Planning Commission approved its preliminary plat in August of last year.
Two tracts located at 212 and 214 Hardy Drive, also less than one acre, make up the site of Hidden Crossing II. The four-building development would be west of the railroad line, and so further west of Grovetown Elementary School, putting it on the other side of the location for the proposed townhome development on East Robinson struck down by the city council Monday. Both properties are zoned R-C1 Residential.
The Grovetown Planning Commission is scheduled to consider Hidden Crossing II in its February meeting on Thursday.
