Revived Plans For Massive Residential And Commercial Complex Called Parkside Before Oconee County Review Committee

Parkside, the dormant residential and commercial development that extends from Hog Mountain Road to Mars Hill Road, has come back to life.

The Oconee County Development Review Committee is scheduled to consider a revised preliminary plat for seven phases of the 469-acre master plan development at its meeting on Friday morning.

The review committee also will review construction plans for a 41-lot section of the development that connects to Hog Mountain Road as well as two roadways linked to the 16 acres containing those 41 lots.

Parkside includes 810 residential lots on 253 acres, 110 acres of open space, and 50 acres of commercial development.

Parkside will require and holds capacity for residential sewer, putting additional pressure on the county as it struggles with its limited sewage capacity.
