Oconee County Planning Commission To Try Again To Review Ministry College Proposal

The Oconee County Planning Commission Monday night is to pick up its agenda from last month, when it did not have a quorum, and give consideration to a request to convert a portion of the former Green Hills Golf Course and Country Club in the far east of the county to a ministry college.

The Commission also will review a request from Stonebridge Partners LLC for a rezone of land for a residential subdivision on undeveloped land across from the existing Daniells Plantation subdivision, just east of Butler’s Crossing.

Other agenda items include a request from RWJ Inc. to modify the approved plans for Downs Creek Farm subdivision, now under development on the west side of Daniells Bridge Road.

Watkinsville First Baptist Church is seeking approval of its plans to expand its facilities on a 17.7 acre-tract at Simonton Bridge Road and Norton Road.

And the Commission will review a request for a convenience food store at Bob Godfrey Road and Belmont Road, near the proposed ministry college. The convenience story is not to have fuel pumps.

The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse in Watkinsville.
