Ordinance # / Resolution #: SD-2022-0733 Century Communities aka Shiloh Wood
Contact Person / Sponsor: A. Davis
Department: Planning
Date Requested to be on Agenda: 9/20/2022
Issue for Consideration:
Application by Century Communities for a Preliminary Plat for four parcels totaling approximately 169.86 acres located at and adjacent to 500 and 516 W. Shiloh Unity Road (TM#s 0049-00-004.130049-00-004.16, 0049-00-005.01 and 0049-00-005.02) to allow development of a 398-lot Cluster Subdivision.
Points to Consider:
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
At the time of this report (9-12-2022), the Traffic Impact Analysis with the currently proposed access arrangement has not been reviewed by the County’s Traffic Consultant for comments. The TIA was submitted for review on the afternoon of Friday, September 9, 2022.
Exact improvements are still to be determined.
Public Utilities:
LCWSD: In early 2021, the LCWSD adopted an amendment to their development policy. To paraphrase the amendment, LCWSD will not issue a developer a willingness and capability assurance letter if it needs to connect to downstream development’s infrastructure by another developer that has not yet received a SCDHEC permit to operate.
It is staff's understanding that this project intends to gain sewer access by connecting into the recently initiated Roselyn sewer improvements. At this time, the estimate we have received on the completion of the primary sewer line is 12-24 months.
It is important to note that Civil Construction plans will not be reviewed by the County or the District until the Roselyn sewer improvements are active (or very close).
Natural Gas: Lancaster County Natural Gas has issued a willingness and capability letter to serve this site.
Power: Duke Energy has issued a willingness and capability letter to serve this site.
Technical Review:
At the time of this report (9-12-2022), a full technical review of this proposed arrangement has not yet been completed.
Recommendation:
Given the current status of the TIA and ongoing Technical Review by County staff this application is considered incomplete, and therefore staff cannot make a recommendation at this time.
