TRC conditionally approves Mussett Bayou Road subdivision; developer says open space will exceed 60% requirement
Summary
A Jenkins Engineering subdivision for 19 single‑family lots on 10.06 acres in conservation residential zoning was conditionally approved; the applicant reported about 72% open space, exceeding the 60% requirement, while technical reviews remain outstanding.
The Walton County Technical Review Committee granted conditional approval to a minor development order for a 19‑lot single‑family subdivision on Mussett Bayou Road, with staff and the applicant noting that the proposed layout preserves more than the required 60% open space.
The application (MIN25000121), submitted by Jenkins Engineering for PBS Investment Development LLC, proposes 19 single‑family lots on approximately 10.06 acres in a Conservation Residential (CR) zoning district. Applicant Scott Jenkins told the committee the layout intentionally preserved the bulk of on‑site wetlands and buffers and currently shows roughly 72% open space.
“We are at about 72% open space with the proposed layout that we have currently,” Jenkins said, adding he did not expect substantial layout changes from the comments received so far. Staff recommended conditional approval pending completion of outstanding technical reviews from environmental and fire district staff and resolution of comments from county engineering and right‑of‑way reviewers.
The committee approved the conditional motion and specified that final approval will depend on successful resolution of outstanding comments and receipt of missing technical reviews.
