Ryland Homes coming to Kimbrell Road at N. Doby’s Bridge Road

Ryland Homes plans a 100 single-family homes on a total of 28.97 acres. The subdivision will contain a total of 9.12 +/- acres of dedicated open space, or approximately 31% of the total gross acreage of the development. All proposed lots will meet or exceed 5,000 square feet. The project will also include a perimeter buffer of at least 35’ in width along all property lines. Sidewalks are included on both sides of all roads internal to the subdivision, and will also be required on Kimbrell Road and N Dobys Bridge Road.

The sketch plan was amended to protect one of the two prominent live oaks at the front of the property. The property will also keep one of the prominate trees at the corner of N. Doby’s Bridge Road and Kimbrell Road. A 50’ right of way has also been reserved for future internal connectivity to neighboring property.

Welcome

Welcome to the new FortMillInfo.com website.

This site is for the news, recent developments, and events going on in and around Fort Mill, SC. The focus of this site is Fort Mill Township, York County, SC (includes Fort Mill, Tega Cay). Information about major projects surrounding in Indian Land, SC, and Rock Hill, SC may also be included as well as new businesses in those areas.

When I see a land being cleared or a new building be built I don’t just wonder, what is that going to be. I research news, websites, and public records until I get the answer that I am looking for. I have built this site to share the information I find so that you don’t have to do all the research yourself.

Do you have an event, new brick & mortar business, or see work being done and want to know what is that going to be? Then email or tweet me in information using the links below.
