Greene County meeting recommends approval of conditional-use permit for private golf and country club
Summary
Members at a Greene County meeting voted to recommend a conditional‑use permit for a private, members‑only golf and country club on about 725 acres, subject to conditions including combining parcels, proof of ownership and a prohibition on short‑term rentals.
Members at a Greene County meeting recommended approval of a conditional‑use permit for a private, members‑only golf and country club proposed on roughly 725.117 acres along Talber Road and Flat Rock Church Road.
Staff advised that recreational development is allowed in the A1 zoning district by conditional use under the Greene County Code of Ordinances (Appendix B, Section 7.1.2.10) and recommended approval contingent on listed requirements such as combining three parcels, providing proof of ownership and prohibiting short‑term rentals and their advertising. A board member moved to recommend the permit to the Board of Commissioners; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
"With the proposed action, the applicant intends to develop and operate a recreational development," staff said in reading the application, describing an 18‑ to 36‑hole course, clubhouse, pool and 14 four‑bedroom cottages restricted to members and their guests. At the motion, the board instructed that the recommendation to the Board of Commissioners include the contingencies spelled out by staff.
The vote was recorded by voice; members said "Aye" and the motion passed. The motion text named the parcels as TMP 0950000001‑0 and 095‑00005‑0 and required that existing easements be maintained and that short‑term rentals not be permitted in the development.
The board closed the public‑comment period with no speakers and adjourned. The record shows the board will transmit its recommendation to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
