Petition is addressed to: City of Seneca
Stanley Martin Homes, whose parent company is Daiwa House Group headquartered in Japan, is trying to put 182 duplex lots and 202 single-family detached lots on 117 acres located between Joe Lewis Road, Wells Highway and Houston Rice Road. Currently the property is zoned Agricultural by Oconee County. According to the submitted plans, lot sizes for the homes will be a minimum of 7,049 sq. ft or .16 acre. Lot sizes for the duplex homes will be 7,500 sq. ft. or .17 acre.
The builder wants to be annexed into Seneca. Water, sewer and power would be provided by Seneca Light & Water. The Legal Notice is in the Journal. THERE WILL BE A ZONING HEARING AT SENECA CITY HALL ON JULY 21ST AT 6:00.
Reason
This area is already congested with at least four new developments in a two-mile radius.
- Can the sewer system handle it?
- Can the power grid handle it?
- Can the schools handle it?
- Can emergency services handle it?
- Can the roads handle it?
- Do we need all these houses?
- Once the land is cleared, where will the wildlife go?
- Where will all the runoff go? It will likely go into Coneross Creek where there is already flooding.
Please sign the petition to stop this development and plan to attend the zoning hearing so we can stop the madness!

Why people sign
Excessive building will over load services, schools,and infrastructure to already established subdivisions and their residents.
Over expansion does not reflect positively on city planners.
Seneca needs to develop a growth plan that doesn’t just continue to add low to mid income housing and addresses the infrastructure to manage to growth.

Stop Investment Developers From Building More Than 2 ADUs/JADUs on Single Parcels of Land
We need to focus on keeping Oconee as an agricultural area. We are losing land across the nation to developers who do not worry about the consequences of destroying our properties and are only concerned with lining their pockets. SAVE OUR FARMLAND.
