The preliminary plat for a townhome subdivision off Powderhouse Road near Aiken received the unanimous approval of the Aiken County Planning Commission on July 21.
But there were some contingencies.
Prior to its 6-0 vote, the panel indicated that the applicant, CSRA Development LLC of Augusta, needed to provide in the near future information about the traffic impact study for the subdivision and details about the plans for the rest of the property where Clifton Place will be located.
"We do have a traffic study. I don't know why the engineers didn't send it," said Keith Lawrence, who represented CSRA Development at the Planning Commission's meeting.
He added that the results of the study would be made available soon to the Aiken County Planning and Development Department.
A preliminary plat is a map that shows the important features of a proposed subdivision.
In Clifton Place, there will be 171 lots on 46.64 acres of a nearly 180-acre tract, based on the paperwork submitted to the Planning and Development Department.
"It's a great project," Lawrence said. "It's different from a typical townhouse development, which kind of gets tucked in on 10 or 12 acres. This one will have a nice amenity area for residents. I don't have the details on that yet, but it will be a fairly large area, probably 5 to 7 acres. There will be a lot of green space associated with it. We're excited."
Earlier this month, the Aiken Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to Aiken City Council the approval of a request for city water and sewer service for Clifton Place.
CSRA Development also is involved in another subdivision construction project, The Sanctuary, which will be located near Clifton Place.
Both Clifton Place and The Sanctuary are close to Athol Avenue.
Seven members of the Aiken County Planning Commission were present at the July 21 meeting, which was held at the Aiken County Government Center.
As usual, the panel's chairman, Grace Vance, didn't vote on any of the requests that were considered.
In other action, the Planning Committee voted 5-0 to approve the preliminary plat for the Gramercy Park at Trolley Run patio home subdivision on Trolley Run Road.
Panel member Denise Fulmer recused herself prior to the presentation by Tilden Hilderbrand of the Aiken engineering firm Hass & Hilderbrand.
The Planning Commission's approval, however, was conditional because the panel wanted to make sure the applicant, Sage Mill Residential Ltd., gets a permit from the South Carolina Department of Transportation before proceeding with the construction project.
There will be 79 lots on 25 acres.
Sage Mill Residential has an Aiken mailing address.
Also July 21, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve, with contingencies, a request to expand a mobile home park in Wagener in the Cougar Drive/Amarius Lane area.
The mobile home park has 11 existing lots, and the applicant, Artis Seawright, asked for permission to add 12 more lots.
