The City of Loganville has annexed and approved 42.36 acres, zoned for commercial use, 20.72 acres, zoned for a condominium office center, 31.48 acres for 317 units of fee simple residential town homes which includes a park/lake setting with an amenity package that will includes nature trails, swim, tennis, basketball net, and a playground , and the balance of the property zoned for a total of 361 units of single family residential housing which includes a park setting with an amenity package that will include nature trails swim, tennis, basketball net, and a playground.

The single family houses shall be a minimum of 2000 sq. ft. of heated space with a two car garage and with brick and/or stone fronts, and brick, stone, stucco, and/or hardy plank on sides and rear. The single family subdivisions will include 4’ sidewalks with a minimum of two trees 2" x 8’ high tree on each lot. This mixed use zoning will include a collector road with 20’ treed green belt buffers on each side from Highway 81 to Claude Brewer Road with a traffic light at Highway 81. A connector road between the town home property and the commercial property to Baker Carter Drive will be provided for access to the local schools.

The Planning Commission had recommended approval of this proposal with conditions. There are two conditions clarified. The square footage requirement for the fee simple town homes stated a minimum of 2000 square feet of heated floor space, but because of garages, two story and sloping ceilings in foyers and great rooms we requested a minimum of 1400 square feet of heated floor to build the submitted designs. The other condition was the 30% green space in our single family residential developments which would includes open space, buffers, and landscape areas combined equaling more than 70% as submitted.
