At its December 14th meeting, the City of Beaufort’s Metropolitan Planning Commission approved the Whitehall Development Group’s subdivision sketch plan for a mixed-use development next to the new park at Whitehall on Lady’s Island.
After securing a 10 acre park with 8 of the acres devoted to a Nature Preserve area, development on the subdivision should start to move forward later in 2021.
The sketch lays out the lots, open space, and streets, which can provide for eight townhomes, 16 single-family homes, three larger river homes, four garden cottages, and three mixed-use buildings on 10 acres.
According to David Prichard, Director of Beaufort’s Community & Economic Development Department, the next steps include the Whitehall Development Group’s submission of a preliminary plat to the City’s Technical Review Committee.
After the preliminary plat is approved, the development group can submit infrastructure construction documents (roads, stormwater conveyances, water and sewer line, and  other utility lines) for approval by the Technical Review Committee.
Once approved, project permits for that work can be issued, he said. After all infrastructure is constructed to specifications or bonded, Whitehall Development Group can submit a final subdivision plat for approval by City staff. After the final plat is approved, it can be recorded with Beaufort County Register of Deeds.
At that point, the lots may start to be sold at Whitehall on Lady’s Island.
