Board approves preliminary plat for High Point Subdivision; health-department soils checks required per lot
Summary
The board approved the High Point Subdivision preliminary plat (48.456 acres, 17 lots) with public water and septic; staff and the developer noted soils testing and the county emphasized that final septic approval for individual lots is subject to health-department certification.
The Troup County board approved the preliminary plat for High Point Subdivision, a proposed two‑phase residential subdivision of about 48.456 acres off Greenville Road that would create 17 lots served by public water and septic systems.
Staff said the plat meets the county’s development criteria for single‑family medium‑density (the plat scored 11 points under the county system) and that the board’s role at this stage is to approve the layout; the county cannot issue building permits for individual lots until the health department certifies soils and septic suitability for each lot. A VC Stone Homes representative who spoke said the developer tested soils for conventional septic systems on lots and explained that some lots need shallow installations (roughly 12–24 inches of separation) and occasional fill above rock.
Board members requested an overlay of the soils map on the plat to confirm lot-by-lot suitability and were reminded that health-department sign-off is required for each lot before a permit will be issued. The board moved, seconded and approved the preliminary plat at the hearing.
