The Dacula City Council recently approved a request by William H. Mobley Estates for the annexation of 34.14 acres, rezoning and variances to allow for the construction of 49 single-family homes off Drowning Creek Road. The approval came with 21 conditions.

Among the stipulations, the subdivision’s open space will be owned and maintained by a mandatory homeowners association. The homes will have a minimum heated floor area of 1,800 square feet for one-story units and 2,000 square feet for two-story units. Each home will have at least a two-car garage. Five-foot wide sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the internal subdivision streets and along the entire property frontage of Mobley Drive and Drowning Creek Road.

Additional conditions address landscaping, fencing, underground utilities, amenities and lighting.
