Plans are in and ready. Here’s where the next Fort Mill new home subdivision may go.
A pocket of unincorporated Fort Mill surrounded by town limits could soon house the town’s newest residential subdivision.
Design Resource Group submitted plans to the town for Land Investment Resources, for a new home neighborhood on West Hensley Road. More than eight acres of vacant land would become single-family homes.
The plan calls for 24 homes, or almost three per acre. The plan has the minimum 20% open space, and will have a minimum 35-foot perimeter buffer. A portion of the project would have a smaller perimeter buffer but a six-foot wall to offset it.
The property is beside Savannah Place and across West Hensley from Friendfield. The property also backs up to homes on Heritage Court which aren’t in the town, despite being surrounded by newer town subdivisions in Ardrey Acres, McKendry and Oakland Pointe. The site is near the West Hensley intersection with North Dobys Bridge Road.
A traffic study done for the project found West Hensley has an average 1,050 daily vehicle trips in front other property. The new subdivision would add about 280 daily trips.
The submitted sketch plan shows a single entrance off West Hensley. That one road goes into the property and splits into two small cul-de-sac areas. The plan shows an existing pond and new retention pond near it, toward the northern cul-de-sac.
The town planning commission will get a look at the subdivision when it meets at 6:30 p.m. July 21.
