Project Type:  Single Family Residential 

Location: Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States

PROJECT SUMMARY

The concept plans have been developed for a proposed single-family residential subdivision in Gwinnett County, covering approximately 7.3 acres. The site is zoned R-100, and the development consists of 11 residential lots, with one lot designated for a detention pond to meet stormwater management requirements in accordance with the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual (2016) and the Gwinnett County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). 

A stream crosses the site, requiring the proposed sewer line to extend beneath it to connect with the existing system in the neighboring subdivision. Due to elevation constraints preventing a gravity sewer connection, a pump station with a sewer force main will be installed and bored under the stream. This method minimizes environmental disruption compared to traditional trenching, which would cause significant disturbance to the stream and surrounding wetlands. 

Each residential lot will have a minimum area of 15,000 square feet and a minimum width of 100 feet. The development adheres to Gwinnett County setback regulations, including a 25-foot front yard setback, a 10-foot side yard setback, a 40-foot right-of-way side yard setback with a 10-foot landscape strip, and a 30-foot rear yard setback. 

Stormwater management is a key component of the development. The detention pond is designed to mitigate peak runoff, reducing downstream flooding risks. It will also enhance water quality by allowing sediment and pollutants to settle, control erosion by regulating discharge rates, and ensure compliance with local and state stormwater regulations. These measures are implemented to protect surrounding properties and natural water bodies while maintaining environmental sustainability. 

This project is designed to comply with all Gwinnett County regulatory standards while fostering a well-planned residential community. The integration of sustainable stormwater solutions, stream protection measures, and essential infrastructure ensures minimal environmental impact while providing necessary utilities for future residents.
