Horry County Council wants more public input on a 372-home plan near S.C. 905

If you live near S.C. 905 and Old Reaves Ferry Road, this one isn't settled. Horry County Council didn't approve the development agreement at its last meeting because it wanted to hear more from the community. The Planning Commission has signed off on the rezoning, but council must approve it and the agreement.
Developer attorney Shep Guyton says the choice is the 372-home plan, with added buffers, or a plan allowing 243 homes without council approval. The land has already been sold: Summit Land Holdings, LLC bought it Sept. 29. "That tells me he's going to do Plan A or Plan B," Councilman Danny Hardee said.

Neighbors worry about traffic and flooding. A traffic analysis projects daily trips would jump by nearly 3,000, and Guyton says the agreement would put a traffic light in up front.
