Summary
The Walton County Technical Review Committee conditionally approved an amendment to the Peach Creek Manor development order (MIN26-000018) to expand the previously approved subdivision from 15 to 17 lots, increase average lot sizes and density; approval is contingent on addressing outstanding fire-department comments and a successful resubmittal.
The Walton County Technical Review Committee voted April 15 to conditionally approve an amendment to the Peach Creek Manor development order (MIN26-000018), moving the matter to the county director for final approval once outstanding comments are addressed.
Bob Barrante, who is handling the file for the planning department, told the committee the amendment is a minor development-order request submitted by Bakers Engineering LLC on behalf of SoHo Holdings LLC to amend development order MIN24-000055. The proposal would create a 17‑lot single‑family subdivision on about 5.88 acres in District 5 on the east side of Old Ferry Road, south of Holly Grove Lane, north of Lehman Drive.
Nolan Baker of Baker Engineers, the project agent, said the revision increases the average lot size from about 0.08 acres to roughly 0.15 acres, shifts the roadway slightly to the north and raises the density estimate from about 2.9 dwelling units per acre to roughly 3.8. "We basically just shifted the roadway up, made bigger lots, increased the lot size," Baker said. He added that the applicant had held a community meeting and resubmitted materials after addressing staff comments.
Barrante told the committee that staff is awaiting initial review comments from the fire department but did not identify any substantive technical problems. He moved that the committee conditionally approve the amendment pending a successful resubmittal and allow the director to issue the development order once the outstanding comments are resolved. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The committee’s action sends the amended development order to the county director for final sign-off after the applicant resolves all outstanding reviewer comments, including the fire‑department items noted in the staff report.
