A vicinity map locating the subdivision in relation to the surrounding area with regard to well-known landmarks such as major streets and thoroughfares, rail road rights-of-way, rivers, streams and other named bodies water. Vicinity maps may be drawn in freehand and at a scale sufficient to show clearly the information required, but not smaller than one inch to one mile. 7. Name of former subdivision(s), if any. Staff Comment: N/A. 8. Exact boundary lines of the tract or parcel to be subdivided, indicated by a heavy line giving length and bearings and total subdivision land area in acres. The boundary lines shall apply to the entire tract to be subdivided. 9. Natural features within the proposed subdivision, including drainage channels, bodies of water, flood plain, wetlands and other significant features. 10. Cultural features within the proposed subdivision, including rights-of-way widths, names of existing and proposed streets and alleys, existing structures, existing easements, buildings, city and county lines, zoning districts and boundaries, and other significant information. 3
11. Proposed layout including lot lines with rough dimensions, lot numbers, block letters, street and alley lines, and sites reserved through covenants and dedications or otherwise for public uses. 12. Location of existing water and sewer utilities, if a connection to these public systems is proposed. Staff Comment: Based on the letter from the Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water and Sewer Commission dated October 13, 2015, the system currently lacks the capacity to handle the addition of any residential units other than those already platted. Due to this finding, the proposed preliminary plat is not in compliance with Glynn County Subdivision Regulations. Per Section 606.1, Subdivisions within the unincorporated area of Glynn County shall be served by public water and sanitary sewer systems in compliance with Environmental Protection Division of Georgia Department of Natural Resources regulations and all local ordinances, including Section 2-16-64 of the Glynn County Code of Ordinances which pertains to water and sewer utilities... unless the County Commission may find the conditions are such that one or both of these installations may not be necessary. The applicant does have the option of requesting a Water/Sewer Variance, but as of this time, no such request has been received; therefore, the proposed preliminary plat does not meet the requirements of this criterion. 13. Proposed unit division or stage of development, if any, by the subdivider. Staff Comment: Phase III of Stillwater Subdivision. 14. The names of owners of record and zoning of land adjacent to the tract to be subdivided. 15. F.I.R.M. Panel Number and flood zone designation. 16. Building setback information per Zoning Ordinance, including setback lines on odd shaped lots. COMPLETION OF THE APPLICATION Staff believes the submitted preliminary plat does not meet all ordinance requirements necessary for approval. 4
ACTIONS: 1. Approve the Preliminary Plat; 2. Approve the Preliminary Plat, subject to any necessary modifications the nature of which shall be indicated on the Preliminary Plat or attached to it in writing; or 3. Deny the Preliminary Plat or any portion thereof in which case the Planning Commission shall so notify the applicant in writing, stating the reasons therefore. MOTIONS: I move to approve application PP3105 Stillwater Phase III, subject to the preliminary plat meeting the requirements of all applicable codes and regulations; I move to defer application PP3105 Stillwater Phase III; or I move to deny application PP3105 Stillwater Phase III.

Drainage and water quality will have to be accommodated. The wetlands area cannot be used for water quality. 2. The wetland and CMPA lines should be updated. 3. Curve data should be included for the right-of-way. Paul Andrews 22sept2015 Note: Use of the 50-ft right-of-way will require that the drainage system be designed so that the 10-ft reduction is available. Drainage from the rear of the lots may be an issue. The final plat will have to include drainage easement as needed to accommodate it. 4. Use of the stub streets will require careful design of the end driveways. It is the experience of the county that without easements or other means of maneuvering, it may be difficult to exit the lots at the end. 14291 Fire Department 1 Fred Johnson Compliant Johnson 09/02/2015 09/08/2015 14295 GIS Address 1 Leigh Newton NOT Compliant Newton 09/02/2015 08/28/2015 OLD STILL DRIVE: THIS IS A BAD NAME BECAUSE OF OLD MONUMENT RD IN THE SAME ESN ZONE, 185.
