Oconee County Approves Plans For Bank At Daniells Bridge Road And Mars Hill Road; Possible Restaurant And Hotel Nearby

The Oconee County Development Review Committee on Friday morning approved the preliminary site plans for a bank on the southeastern corner of Daniells Bridge Road and Mars Hill Road, opposite QuikTrip.

Monday night the Oconee County Planning Commission will consider a rezone request for 4.5 acres at the southeast corner of the Oconee Connector and SR 316, just north of the site for the bank.

The 4.5-acre-parcel is being developed for sale to individual purchasers interested in locating some type of business on the property, according to the rezone narrative. The concept plan submitted with the rezone shows what is being called a “quality” restaurant and a hotel on the site.

Ken Beall, who represents the developer of the property at the Mars Hill Road, Daniells Bridge Road, Oconee Connector intersection, told the Development Review Committee on Friday that uncertainty about the improvements to that intersection is holding up the project.

Widening of the Connector, Mars Hill Road, and the initial section of Daniells Bridge Road isn’t scheduled to be completed until May of 2018.
