Berkeley County planning commission approves Seder final plat, advances Oneida Ridge and schedules Jackson Hills hearing

The Berkeley County Planning Commission on an evening meeting approved the final plat for Seder Residential Development Section 2 contingent on receipt of surety, advanced the Oneida Ridge preliminary plan to the final-plat stage and voted to advertise a public hearing on Jackson Hills Phase 1 for Nov. 17, 2025.

Staff presented the Seder Residential Development Section 2 final plat, describing the project as 86 single-family attached lots on 10.4 acres to be served by public water and sewer and recommended approval contingent upon receipt of surety of $511,584 and a developer's agreement. A motion by Michael Bush, seconded by Mister Goff, carried to approve the final plat with those conditions.

The commission advanced Oneida Ridge from preliminary plan to final-plat stage after staff said the project met subdivision-ordinance requirements. The Oneida Ridge proposal, with File No. 2412-393, is described in staff materials as 22 villa lots and one single-family detached lot on 9.84 acres to be served by public water and sewer. The commission voted on a motion by Michael Bush, seconded by Mister Goff, to advance the plan.

For Jackson Hills Phase 1 (File No. 2507-205, tied to 2210-292), staff recommended a final-plat determination and advertising a public hearing for possible final-plat approval at the Nov. 17, 2025 Planning Commission meeting. The commission voted on a motion by Mister Lewis, seconded by Mister Goff, to accept staff's recommendation and set the November public hearing.

All three items were presented by staff and had project representatives on hand: Mike Roberts for Seder and Jackson Hills and Clint Rock for Oneida Ridge. No members of the public spoke during the Seder public hearing.
