Watkinsville Residential Complex On Hold Awaiting Permits

Chuck and David Williams ended the year without a resolution to their efforts to move the proposed Wisteria Ridge Apartment Complex on North Main Street in Watkinsville from dormant to active.

Ken Beall, representing the Williams brothers, appeared before the Watkinsville City Council in November with the request that the city issue building permits for a sampling of the 103 residential units in the 15-building complex.

The Council tabled that request in November and tabled it a second time at the Council’s last meeting of the year on Dec. 19.

Beall told the Council in November that he wants to get on the county’s waiting list for residential sewer capacity now that the county has upgraded its Calls Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, located just downstream from the proposed apartment complex.

Council agreed to take up the request at some unspecified point in the future.
