Panel recommends R40 rezoning for Old Doss property with 30‑lot cap
Summary
The joint hearing recommended rezoning roughly 40 acres on Old Doss Drive from AG to R40 for a 30‑lot subdivision, approving the rezoning recommendation while preserving debate over variances and infrastructure requirements.
Planning staff described the Parks Huffer / Rack Developments LLC application to rezone about 40.26 acres at 560 Old Doss from AG to R40 to allow a 30‑lot single-family subdivision and outlined three concurrent variance requests (rural street section instead of curb/gutter, reduced side setbacks, reduced front setbacks). Staff also relayed Cherokee County School District comments estimating 22 additional students and an estimated immediate capacity cost of $29,659.
The applicant’s attorney, Park Seff (S11), said the plan provides large lots (average about 47,000 sq ft), uses septic rather than sewer given Canton’s system constraints, and that certain setback and road-section adjustments are intended to reduce grading and preserve trees. "The average lot size is 47,000 square feet. The average lot size is over an acre," Park Seff said. After questions from commissioners and technical exchanges about stormwater and road widths, the board voted to recommend approval of the R40 rezoning with a maximum of 30 lots. That recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
