Plans Filed For Gunter Property At Lavista Road With Oconee County Planning Department
Only one buildings has been specified in the plans, which are for the first phase of the project. The existing house is to be demolished.
Almost six years after the county rezoned 13 plus acres on U.S. 441 north of Watkinsville at Lavista Road, Fred Gunter Property LLC has submitted plans to begin construction of an office complex on the site.
The plans call for a single 12,000 square foot building on the southern part of the property, furthest from Lavista Road. Access would be off U.S. 441, with a right-turn only exit from the property.
Williams and Associates, representing Gunter Property, which owns the acreage, also has filed demolition plans with the county for the single family rental property on the site.
Williams and Associates and Gunter Property have not submitted plans for the remainder of the acreage, now zoned for Office-Institutional-Professional (OIP) use after a controversial rezone by the Oconee County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 6, 2009.
