Commission holds Tiner Woods preliminary plat while sewer and traffic questions are clarified
Summary
After extensive public comment about roads, flooding, school impacts and sewer availability for the Tiner Woods subdivision, the commission agreed May 27 to a 30‑day hold so SACE and sewer authority comments can be obtained and outstanding items addressed.
The Greenville County Planning Commission placed the Tiner Woods preliminary plat (PP2026-050) on a 30‑day hold on May 27 so outstanding comments on sewer capacity, traffic and fire-department turnaround requirements can be resolved.
Staff presented the plat for a 57‑lot conventional subdivision on roughly 58 acres and listed standard conditions: a revised preliminary plan by June 5 to show traffic calming and fire-access features, and an updated signed form from REWA or Metro plus septic or sewer approval from the permitting agency (REWA/Metro or SCDHEC/SEDES). The staff packet said Metro/REWA indicated sewer feasibility in internal responses but that a signed capacity form and formal approvals were still required.
Multiple residents and a local fire commissioner, John R. Jennings, urged denial or delay, citing school overcrowding near Woodmont High School, narrow and undermaintained roads on Reedy Fork Road and nearby corridors, and concerns about septic and potential impacts to wells and flood-prone areas. Jennings told the commission, "I'm here today to ask you to not approve the proposed subdivision, Tigna Woods," reflecting strong neighborhood opposition.
Developer representatives and counsel argued the site can be served by septic or sewer if appropriate permitting and infrastructure are provided, and said REWA/Metro had indicated sewer could be feasible though not currently installed. Counsel Ronald Tate said the project’s location and density make it "an ideal case for septic service," while also noting disagreement with internal agency definitions of "availability."
Given the outstanding jurisdictional questions and SACE comments that arrived late, the applicant agreed to a 30‑day hold to secure required capacity letters and address fire and traffic comments. The commission accepted the hold so the applicant can return with updated SACE responses and technical clarifications.
