Rincon Council Reviews Annexation and Rezoning for Large Residential Development on Lexington Avenue
The City Council held a public hearing and first reading on a petition by Dylan Wingate with Patriot Development Group to annex and rezone approximately 114.13 acres located at 0 Lexington Avenue from AR1 (agricultural residential) to PUD (planned unit development) for a residential community. The proposed development includes 352 single-family homes and 30 townhouses, to be built in phases over five to seven years. Concerns raised by the public and council members included traffic impact on Lexington Avenue and surrounding roads, stormwater management, infrastructure adequacy, the adequacy of the existing bridge/culvert, and the need for more detailed engineering and traffic studies before final approval. The applicant, Patriot Development Group, presented plans for amenities, green space, and proposed road improvements. The council acknowledged that all subsequent plans, including traffic and engineering studies, would require city approval as part of the PUD process. A workshop is scheduled to further discuss the proposal.
Rincon Golf Course Reports Membership Growth and Facilities Updates
The City Council discussed and approved administrative reports, including an update on the golf course. The report indicated 198 members, good course conditions, and a well-balanced crew schedule. A large memorial tournament was successful. Discussions also touched on the need for parking lot improvements due to increased membership and planned events. Facilities maintenance reported progress on the members' room renovation, driving range robot installation, and stage tile completion at Freedom Park.
