Epps Bridge Centre Buffer Variance Need Explained (or not)

OK, Oconee County activists, this is our Maginot line. We need to do everything we can to make certain this development is not built according to the plans currently laid out.  Our wetlands are more important than a huge parking lot and movie theater. Check out more at Lee Becker's blog.

Dear Friends,

It really is rather simple. The property for the proposed Epps Bridge Centre on Epps Bridge Parkway really isn't suitable for the shopping center unless the state allows the developer to pipe and pave over the streams. Onsite mitigation isn't practical either, since all the streams and wetlands will be piped, paved over, filled or otherwise disturbed to build that shopping center.

The reason the state should grant the variance request? We need more shopping opportunities in the county.

If you don't quite understand the logic, go to my blog for a full explanation, based on details of the application the developer has filed for the variances with the state.
