Developer requests more time; Board tables Riverstone Grove preliminary plat appeal 60 days
Summary
The board granted a 60-day deferral for APP26-000001 (Riverstone Grove), a 4.35‑acre proposal that would have included 28 townhomes and a 4,400‑square‑foot retail building, after applicant representatives asked to provide a traffic study and address staff comments. The motion passed 5-0.
The Newton County Board of Commissioners tabled APP26-000001, an appeal of a Planning Commission denial for the Riverstone Grove preliminary plat, after counsel for the applicant asked for additional time to respond to board concerns.
The preliminary plat covers 4.35 acres at Salem Road and Kirkland Road and includes a proposed 28-townhome subdivision with a 4,400-square-foot retail building. Applicant representatives John Nix and Mark Walton asked the board for a 60-day deferral to produce a traffic study and address comments from county departments. Staff had stated that the plat meets applicable zoning and subdivision requirements but identified conditions that must be met prior to land disturbance, including comments from the Fire Department, Development Services and Transportation Department and external agencies such as NCWSA and GDOT.
Commissioner Andre Cooper moved to table the case for 60 days; Commissioner Demond Mason seconded. The motion passed 5-0. The board recorded the deferral to allow the applicant time to satisfy the listed conditions.
