They are requesting to Reduce the setback variance from 35 feet to 25 feet. This would allow them to squeeze in as many townhomes as possible.
Open Space Required – None Required. Perhaps this is the issue Johns Creek has with overdevelopment?
1.83 acres is indicated as “Open Space Provided”. However, included in this number is some undevelopable land such as buffers & landscaping strips. The City’s zoning ordinance indicates that:
“detention facilities, required buffers, landscaped strips, and platted residential lots shall not be included in open space calculations.”
Thus, the real “Open Space” number is much less. Hence, no amenities or facilities are included in this proposed development of the Standard Club Rezoning, other than a small swath of grass – titled Pocket Park.
Within the Standard Club zoning documents, the applicant states:
“The site will provide additional residence to help protect green space and add residents to utilize the parks and recreation areas nearby”.
It does not state how clear-cutting 6 acres and developing the additional residence will protect green space. With the development lacking amenities, it will certainly add residents to utilize the public parks nearby.
No more housing and developments in Johns Creek! There must be a moratorium on further building here. I think most residents in Johns Creek would agree with me.
This destruction of our community seems to becoming a dystopian nightmare.
Not only NO . . . but HELL NO!!!
Typical! This kind of thing is NEVER ending! It will get approved.
Ask and ye shall receive, no matter what it does to further erode and congest our city.
Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks fantastic! Hopefully this will be approved and built quickly.
Do we really need more townhomes? Do we really need more homes… There’s no regard for the environment and the animals who live in it. The congestion is ridiculous and there’s no end to it.
