High Point Farm Withdrawing Request To Operate Day Camp On Farmland In South Of Oconee County

Greg Thaxton, president of High Point Farm, is asking the Oconee County Board of Commissioners to allow him to withdraw his application for a variance to operate a day camp on the 35 acres he owns at 3551 Colham Ferry Road in the south of the county.

The Board of Commissioners will entertain, and most likely, accept his request when the matter comes before it at its meeting on Tuesday evening.

The commissioners will consider another rezone for a small shopping center at the corner of Hog Mountain Road and U.S. 441. Possible tenants for the center are a restaurant with a drive through and a pharmacy.

Tuesday’s night agenda also includes discussion of possible referenda for the November 8 ballot that would allow Sunday sales of beer and wine in grocery, convenience and beverage stores and the sale of beer, wine and alcoholic drinks in restaurants.

The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse in Watkinsville.
