Lake Burton Property Update:
Residential Development, Not Commercial Storage

I’m pleased to share positive news regarding the property at Bridge Creek Road and Murray Cove Road. After four years of community effort, the proposed commercial boat/personal storage facility has been abandoned. Instead:

  • Four individual homes will be built, each on 1+ acre lots
  • The owners have filed to rezone from Agriculture to Vacation Cottage
  • A plat has been submitted to the Zoning Department (attached)

This represents the best possible outcome for our community concerns. The Savannah Riverkeepers will continue monitoring property grading to ensure compliance with zoning regulations and prevent lake siltation.

With our primary goal achieved, we’ll be dissolving our LLC. This success would not have been possible without your contributions and unwavering support. Your commitment helped delay development long enough for the owners to pursue this more community-friendly alternative.

Thank you for standing with us throughout this process.

Sincerely,

Matt Mitcham
