Ragan Smith Associates requests approval of a preliminary plan showing 3 lots on approximately 24 acres. The property is located at the end of the temporary dead end at the northern terminus of Green Hill Boulevard.
At the September 22, 2022, Board of Commissioners Informational Briefing, the need for the Green Hill Boulevard connection to Old Smyrna Road as shown on the current Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) was discussed. The Commissioners determined that the impact to the surrounding neighborhoods outweighed the benefits and directed staff to pursue an amendment to the MTP. This updated MTP to include the elimination of the connection from Green Hill Boulevard to Old Smyrna Road was presented to the Planning Commission at their April 3, 2023, meeting. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Board of Commissioners and the revised MTP was approved at their April 10, 2023, meeting.
This preliminary plan proposes a cul-de-sac extension of Green Hill Boulevard to serve as frontage and access to all three lots. The three lots range in size from 3 to 7 acres and a total of approximately 10.50 acres will be dedicated common open space. A majority of the open space will be designated as a waterway natural area to buffer Holt Creek.
