Attorney urges Giles County planning commission to act on Creo Ranch development
Loading...
Summary
Attorney Dustin Kittle told the Giles County Regional Planning Commission that developers have bypassed oversight, marketed lots they do not own and taken deposits prior to formal approval, and argued the project meets subdivision criteria; the broadcast did not report any commission action or vote.
Attorney Dustin Kittle, speaking on behalf of residents near the Creo Ranch property, urged the Giles County Regional Planning Commission to take action against the developers, alleging the developers have bypassed commission oversight and were marketing property they did not own while accepting deposits before receiving formal approval.
Kittle argued that the project qualifies as a subdivision and pointed to the creation of easements as evidence of development plans that should have triggered planning commission review. In the program summary, Kittle is quoted as saying "we're bypassing the planning commission oversight." The broadcast presents these claims as arguments the attorney made to the commission; it did not report any immediate enforcement action taken by the commission during that hearing.
Why it matters: if developers market and sell lots before required approvals are complete, nearby residents and prospective buyers may face legal and financial risks, and the planning commission's role in overseeing subdivision review could be undermined. The broadcast did not include a response from the developers, nor did it provide the planning commission's statement or a vote result.
Next steps: the program did not report any formal vote or the commission's decision; follow-up reporting should check planning commission minutes and any developer responses.
