Strategic Priority
GOAL 4:  Develop World Class Livable Environment & Infrastructure
Description

Recommend approval of a Major Subdivision, Williams Street Townhomes. The purpose of this plat is to create unique parcel IDs and addresses, and to continue the build-out of the proposed development in accordance with the approved site plan 24-006411-PLAN. Approval of this plat will also record and set aside agreed-upon vegetative buffers, open space, building setbacks, utility, drainage easements, and access easements.

Site: The site is 0.26 acres, with 100 feet of frontage on Williams Street and 113 feet of depth. It is zoned TC-1 (Traditional Commercial- I). The site is adjoined by
commercial property to the north and west, and by residential properties to the south and east.
Parcels: The proposed subdivision will result in 4 parcels, all meeting the minimum subdivision requirements, but only 3 are permitted to contain dwellings. The parcels range in width from 22 to 33 feet, and area from 2,598 square feet to 3,739 square feet. The fourth parcel, identified as Lot 67-A, will include shared access between Williams Street and rear-access parking, as well as a common area for the three dwellings.

Access: All parcels within the proposed subdivision will have frontage on Williams Street, with access to rear-entry parking via a parcel designated for common access.

The required infrastructure improvements to support this phase will include the City of Savannah's water and sewer services.

According to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Panel 13051C0162G, the property is located within a flood hazard zone X.
