Proposed plans for a pair of new subdivisions are heading to the Columbia County Planning Commission.
Developers for the third phase of the growing Greenpoint development north of Harlem are requesting approval to create 35 residential lots on just under 14 acres.
Greenpoint is taking shape behind and around Harlem Middle School. The neighborhood is accessible by Hawes Branch Parkway off Appling-Harlem Highway.
Plans for phase three include the completion of Whitehouse Street, which would loop around the southern border of the area to be developed. Minimum lot sizes measure 6,555 square feet.
The phase includes 5.47 acres of greenspace. Sidewalks and trees will line the streets.

Off Harlem-Grovetown Road, another subdivision is proposing much larger lots, in a conceptual plan approved by the county in May.
The Marshall Mills neighborhood calls for 11 lots on 102.8 acres bordered to the east by Uchee Creek. The minimum lot size measures 2.73 acres with an average size of 8.93 acres.
The lots would be served by two roads, one paved and the other gravel, ending in cul de sacs.
The development is outside Grovetown’s city limits, but not by much. Marshall Mills would be almost completely surrounded by Grovetown city borders.
Both proposals were to be considered by the planning commission this week without public hearings. Typically, public hearings are called if a property’s zoning could be changed or appealed, or if a developer’s plan could be amended.
