Applicant seeks MRD-1 zoning for 77-house subdivision on Costi Allen Road in Aynor
Summary
An applicant asked to rezone ~40.87 acres from rural conservation to MRD-1 for 77 single-family lots with two accesses, buffers, wetlands protections and increased open space; engineering representative Cassidy Callahan described added landscape and wetland buffers.
Staff presented an application to rezone roughly 40.87 acres along Costi Allen Road in Aynor from rural and scenic conservation (FAA) to MRD-1 to allow construction of 77 single-family homes on 10,000-square-foot lots.
The proposal includes two access points on Costi Allen Road, a 25-foot Type A buffer with a 6-foot privacy fence along the western property line, a 50-foot streetscape buffer, a 10-foot wetland buffer and three sustainable development criteria such as sidewalks, a 100% increase in active open space and two pocket parks. "There's approximately 7.15 acres of wetlands on-site," staff said. Cassidy Callahan of Kingston Engineering, representing the applicant, said the proposal incorporates additional front and side landscape buffers and a wetland buffer around the rear of the lots.
Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions in the workshop; staff and the applicant said they would return at the next meeting.
