Residents of Courthouse Road in Palmyra raised concerns about the impact of a proposed development during a public hearing at the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday night (Jan 12).
Developer Tim Miller of Meridian Planning Group submitted an application to build a housing development on a 124.5-acre tract on Courthouse Road last fall. If developed, Ballinger Bluff would contain 48 single-family homes.
Miller was seeking the commission’s approval for both the subdivision plan and a Special Use Permit for a central sewer system for the development. Rather than each home having its own septic system and drain field, he proposed a system where clusters of four homes share a single drain field.
