Comments were made by the following citizens:
• Matthew Lyon, resident, spoke on traffic concerns near SRP Park on Railroad Ave and
roundabouts on Riverside Blvd and Center St. He stated that with the new development he is
concerned on parking issues and traffic increase that would deter visitors from entering Riverside
Village which contributes to the economic development.
• Randy Parks, resident, stated that he is in support of the agreement, enjoys living in Hammond’s
Ferry and the amenities nearby in Riverside Village which enhances their quality of life that is
within walking distance. He noted that the business climate has changed over the last few years
Page 2 of 7
and was impressed with SouthCity Partners projects. He added that increased traffic is a concern,
however, believes it will be addressed.
• Sean Sojack, resident, spoke on parking space concerns and gave an example of parking at
Ironwood Apartments with two or three bedroom apartments which receive one parking space
and the others in that same apartment would need to park on the street. He noted that dozens
of cars would be parked up and down the street. He stated that with the new development that
same situation will occur. He commented on compromising and touched on the change from
senior living to 251 apartments, and now to 335 apartments which is high density housing. He
stated that is not compromise, he then quoted from a newspaper a quote from Jesse Elliot
regarding fixing problems when it happens versus planning ahead. He stated once this
development is in there is no going back. He requested for the units to go back to 251.
Mayor Williams noted for the record that the Council is in receipt of the signed petition (2 pages) from
the residents of Hammond’s Ferry stating they are opposed to the new Riverside Village Development
plan regarding the apartment buildings. (See Attachment PH#1)
• Brian Brittingham, resident, stated that he is support of the agreement and concurred with
resident Randy Parks comments. He noted that it is time get this project going this has been going
on for almost a decade which included numerous missed deadlines and pictures and drawings.
He is requesting action and progress at Riverside Village. He also added to condition people to
start using the parking decks.
• Dianne L’Heureux, resident, commented that she had been to all meetings in the past since the
project was known a Project Jackson. She noted that she wants to see Riverside Village flourish.
She expressed her concern on the traffic and parking at Riverside Village, which has been the
concern since the beginning of the project.
• Amy Schoenbaum, resident, thanked Councilmembers who reached out her regarding an email
she had sent to them earlier that week with a list of items she would like to see done as she felt
heard. She requested that the Council table the motion for a month. She added that the time
would be for solutions and waiting would not change anything drastically. She asked for bicycle
and pedestrian safety as priorities, such as crossing lines, solar lights, and Public Safety permanent
presence. She highlighted on parking issues, such as needing Hammond’s Ferry to have permit
parking and that public can park there during the day but not overnight and if not a resident there
they should pay to park. She noted other parking issues such as Front Street, placing in speed
bumps on Railroad and Front Street and each corner have stop signs in Hammond’s Ferry, and
another parking deck built.
• Stetson Corbitt, resident, expressed his concern specifically on the parking to the apartments, if
moved forward. He highlighted on the parking where the people in the apartments that do not
have dedicated parking and issue of them parking farther away and having to walk. He asked for
assigned parking. He asked Council to amend and include with building the apartments the
condos to be built at the same time. He expressed his concern regarding paying the contractor
the $1.5 million that was already prepped for.
• Woody Shuler, resident, stated that the streets in Riverside Village are built to the bare minimum
and when parallel parking it narrows the streets. He commented on Parcel K and the 170 units
being added would increase traffic and asked for 15 mph speed limit. He noted that parking is an
issue, however, once they move the narrow streets are a concern and that they travel through
Hammond’s Ferry.

problems are and if the Council moves forward with the following three ordinances then the issue will fall
on the City Staff to work through the technical challenges associated with Village as a whole. He reviewed

Mr. Clifford explained the financials, specifically the $1.45 million. He noted that $450,000 is economic
inducement as rebates for fees associated with land disturbance permits, etc. which is not money that
the City has currently. As the money is received if the project moves forward with Council approval that
the developer is to pay the initial fees, receipted, and held in escrow for a period of time, and once the
conditions are met then they are released back to developer. The remaining $1 million is spread over a

2. Phase B: Phase B includes the Riverside Village (formerly known as Riverfront
Plaza/Ballpark Village) concentrated commercial area. Portions of Phase B have
been completed, but approximately 5.73 acres remain to be completed, consisting
of six separate undeveloped lots (Parcels C, D, G, H, I and K). As projected, not
less than a total of approximately 25,000 square feet of pedestrian oriented
commercial use shall be located on the ground floors of the buildings or portions
of buildings facing or fronting on Center Street and in Riverside Village between
Railroad Avenue and Riverfront Park. The projected development for Phase B is
set forth below:

3. Phase E: The ultimate uses including parks, recreation, commercial and residential
including the number of units and lots to be developed in Phase E, Highlands, have
not yet been determined. The ultimate determination on the location of the Georgia
Power transmission line easement will influence the circulation, block and lot
design. However, to the extent that residential and commercial uses are included,
Phase E will be developed in a traditional neighborhood pattern consistent with the
initial phases of Hammond’s Ferry.
4. Years of Development: The estimated years listed for the development of each
phase are planning estimates for the development of subdivision infrastructure.
Actual years of development for each phase may vary based on economic
conditions, absorption rates and other factors. The completion of buildings on all
of the individual lots developed will take longer.
5. Permitted Uses: All of the uses listed in the Downtown Mixed Use District as
shown in Table 3-2, Use Matrix, of the NADC and additional uses listed herein are
permitted in any of the phases of the Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development, in
either single use or mixed use structures. The form and scale of the permitted uses
will be determined by the lot type, lot size, required off-street parking and the
Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book.
6. Residential Uses: The mix of uses in each phase will be primarily residential units
of various sizes. Residential units may include for sale or rent single-family
detached and attached, multifamily, and live-work units for small business and
work-at-home activities. Approximately 7.9 dwelling units per acre is the average
gross residential density for the 195.39 acre project. Gross density will vary
between phases. Definitions for density applicable to this project include:
a. DUA: Dwelling units per acre.
b. Gross Density: The number of residential units in a phase or subdivision
divided by the total number of acres in the applicable phase or subdivision
including open space, parks, lakes, streets, alleys, etc.

c. Maximum Density: The total number of residential units that may be
constructed in this project is 1,163. Maximum density does not include
accessory dwelling units constructed on a detached single family lot in addition
to a primary residential unit.
7. Nonresidential Uses: Neighborhood-serving and destination commercial, civic,
institutional, lodging, recreation, educational and agricultural uses are permitted
throughout the project. The maximum amount of commercial footage on an
individual lot is limited by the lot type, lot dimensions and parking requirements
for the lot.
a. The total commercial development permitted by phase is shown in the chart in
§II.B.1.
b. Nonresidential uses including retail, hotel, restaurant and office uses may be
developed on either urban zone or neighborhood zone designated lots.
c. Nonresidential square footage associated with home occupations, as they are
defined and regulated in the NADC and located in residential units, is not
counted toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in
§II.B.1.
d. Nonresidential square footage included as a major element of a live-work unit
is counted toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in
§II.B.1.
e. Nonresidential intensity in excess of the maximum permitted in §II.B.1 may
be approved for development by the City on public lands.
f. Additional uses permitted with no limit in each phase include civic,
institutional, educational, lodging and meeting facilities, agriculture,
boathouse, marina and boat ramp, and active recreation uses.
g. Assisted living facilities, adult congregate homes and nursing homes, if
developed, will be assigned a density at the time of the site plan application
equal to ½ (0.5) of a dwelling unit per room or ¼ (0.25) of a dwelling unit per
bed, whichever is greater. Commercial square footage will be calculated based
on the amount of resident therapy and treatment areas, common and visitor
areas including dining where guests may be served.
h. Educational uses include public and private educational facilities at all levels.
i. Civic and institutional facilities include government offices, museums, sports
stadiums and churches.
j. Agricultural uses including nurseries and greenhouses should be confined to
areas within power line easements and designated open or green space and may
include limited crops, horticulture, orchards, forestry, beekeeping, and small
fowl and livestock, including but not limited to chickens, rabbits and goats, for
the specific use of individual households, on-site markets, or on-site
commercial operations including a petting zoo.
8. Flex Units and Commercial Space: The Development Program includes fifty
(50) flex units of residential density and fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of
commercial space. Flex units and commercial space may be added to any phase
upon approval of the Planning Commission. Additionally, up to ten percent (10%)
of the residential units allocated to a phase and not utilized in that phase may be
transferred to another phase upon approval of the Planning Commission. However,
no transfer of density may be approved that increases the gross density for the
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 8 of 26
recipient phase to more than twenty-seven (27) residential units per acre. The
Planning Commission authority to approve or deny requests under this section is
the sole discretionary right of said Planning Commission.
C. Lot Types: Each proposed private lot on the Hammond’s Ferry General Development
Plan has been designated as either a neighborhood zone lot or an urban zone lot.
Additionally, proposed parks, open space, City owned land and medians/islands within
road rights of way have been designated.
1. Urban Zone Lots: Urban zone lots are intended for structures that are
comparatively large in size, generally cover a substantial portion of the lot and are
constructed close to the sidewalk in front and frequently with a zero side setback
and common wall with an adjacent structure. They are frequently improved to a
greater density and intensity than neighborhood zone lots and are located on higher
traffic volume streets that include a mix of residential and commercial use
structures. Individual urban zone lot structures often contain a mix of uses, i.e.,
ground floor commercial and upper story residential. Available on-street parking
may be counted toward a portion of the parking requirement for nonresidential
uses located on urban zone lots.
2. Neighborhood Zone Lots: Neighborhood zone lots are primarily intended for
single-family detached and townhome structures. The front, side and rear setbacks
are greater than on urban zone lots. Neighborhood zone lots may contain
commercial uses or a mix of uses including live-work units and multifamily
residential structures. Because of the residential character of the neighborhood
zone, on-street parking may not be counted toward the parking requirement for
uses located on neighborhood zone lots.
3. Modifications to Lot Layouts: The total number and configuration of lots,
including additional or modified lot types, in a phase may be adjusted at the time
major subdivision plans (preliminary plats) are developed and submitted for
approval. The Planning Commission will consider the revised lot configuration in
accordance with §II.A. Changes in lot configurations should be generally
consistent with the designation of urban and neighborhood lots as shown on the
revised General Development Plan.
4. Subdivision of Platted Lots: Unimproved individual lots may be combined to
create larger lots or subdivided to create smaller lots provided that each resulting
lot is occupied by a primary structure that meets the setback requirements of this
Ordinance. Adequate street frontage, access to the lot and required off-street
parking must be provided. Accessory dwelling units may not be subdivided from
an existing lot to create a separate lot.
5. Lot Access: All lots shall front on and be addressed on a street or close. No lots
may front on and be exclusively accessed by an alley. However, in specifically
planned and platted situations, groups of lots may front on a green, park or plaza,
addressed on the street that borders the green, park or plaza and utilize an alley for
vehicular access.
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 9 of 26
6. Front Loaded Lots: Except as described in §II.B.7 below, lots that are accessible
only from the front (not served by an alley or a side street) and driveways that enter
the lot from the front are front loaded lots. Garages may be located beside the
primary structure, attached or unattached to the primary structure, with the door
facing the street (front loaded) but must set back not less than eighteen (18) feet
from the front property line. Garages may be located behind the primary structure
and be either front or side loaded but must be set back not less than eighteen (18)
feet from the front property line. Adjacent front loaded lots may share a single
driveway provided adequate cross access easements and maintenance
responsibilities are adequately described and provided for. The maximum side
setback may be increased on one side by eighty percent (80%) if necessary to
accommodate the location of a driveway between a structure and a side lot line.
7. Front Loaded Lots Phase B Only: In Phase B, lots that are accessible only from
the front (not served by an alley or a side street) and driveways that enter the lot
from the front are front loaded lots. Garages shall be located behind the primary
structure and may be attached or unattached to the primary structure. Garages
may be either front or side loaded. Adjacent front loaded lots may share a single
driveway provided adequate cross access easements and maintenance
responsibilities are adequately described and provided for. The maximum side
setback may be increased on one side by eighty percent (80%) if necessary to
accommodate the location of a driveway between a structure and a side lot line.
This will apply to Phase B only.
D. Public Parks, Commons and Plazas: Public parks, commons and plazas include a
number of areas designated on the revised General Development Plan and described
in the following chart. A public park is a recognized publicly owned space available
for passive or active recreation managed by the City. A common is an open landscaped
area within a street right of way that is larger than a median or an island and may be
used for passive recreation. A plaza is a hard surfaced public space within a
commercial area that is actively programmed for public and commercial events. The
chart identifies the phase where each is located, the name, and the entity responsible
for completing the improvements, either the City, the Master Developer, or its
approved assignee. The parks, commons and plazas listed in the chart below have been
or will be purchased by the Master Developer or its assignee, improved to City
standards and deeded to the City. The design and proposed landscaping of all parks,
commons and plazas remaining to be developed and improved and which will be
owned or maintained by the City shall be reviewed, revised as necessary and approved
by the City prior to the initiation of development or improvement. An asterisk (*)
following the name indicates that the park, common or plaza was improved prior to
July 2010.

1. Private Open Space Greens: Open space that is not retained in City ownership,
including “greens” that provide a shared front yard for several lots will be platted
as open space and ultimately deeded to the Hammond’s Ferry Property Owners
Association.
2. Medians and Islands: Small medians and islands within road rights of way have
been or will be improved by the Master Developer or his assignees in conjunction
with road construction and dedicated to the City.
3. Power Line Easement: Land located within the Georgia Power transmission line
easement may be utilized for agricultural, horticultural, open space or public
parking uses.
4. Riverfront Plaza: The Riverfront Plaza area within Phase B has been designed
to include a multiuse public commercial plaza available for a variety of special
short term events including farmers markets, arts and crafts shows and sales, and
similar activities. Daily uses may include passive park, outdoor seating for
restaurant patrons, casual meeting space and parking. The detailed design of the
space including the adjacent roadways and sidewalk space adjacent to buildings
surrounding and within Riverside Village, has been completed through a
cooperative workshop process that includes representatives of the developer, its
consultants, city staff and city officials including the Planning Commission and
City Council. Public amenities, landscaping, pavement treatments, infrastructure
to support special events, on-street parking, vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
parking management, emergency vehicle access and operation and related issues
have been addressed and completed. The revisions to the General Development
Plan set forth in this Ordinance are intended to address the completion of the
remaining undeveloped Parcels in Phase B.
5. Preservation Park: Preservation Park is deed restricted as an archeological
resource area and controlled as to the amount of excavation, landscaping and
vertical development that may be constructed. It will be designed and improved by
the Master Developer for a mix of uses that will include small scale special events,
Blue Clay Farm produce sales, open space for informal soccer, softball, Frisbee
and other “pick-up” type recreation activities. Preservation Park will also be
designed to serve as overflow parking for special events in Riverfront Park and on
the Greeneway. Overflow parking use design may include roll over curbs and
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 11 of 26
sidewalks and structural treatment of the surface to accommodate vehicle access
and parking. The deed restricted portion of the Georgia Power easement is not a
part of Preservation Park and may be used for hard surface parking, special event
parking, limited agriculture and open space in accordance with archeological deed
restrictions.
E. General Development Standards: The following development standards apply to
all development in the project. In situations where the development standards
contained herein are silent or do not provide clear direction, the provisions of the
NADC shall apply. Minor modifications to and waivers from development standards
may be approved by the Planning Commission or Director as applicable at the time of
concept plan approval for a phase or major subdivision plan approval for any portion
of a phase in accordance with §II.A.
1. Streets and Circulation: The thoroughfares in Hammond’s Ferry that have not
been constructed to date will be designed to accommodate the safe and efficient
movement of automobiles while providing a comfortable setting for pedestrians
and community interaction. The network of thoroughfares provides multiple
routes and is intended to allow for more narrow rights of way and paved surfaces
that will both lend to a casual, pedestrian friendly, traffic-calming effect and
provide, where practicable or required, for on-street parking throughout the
project. Street sections and associated modifications shall comply with those
delineated in Article 14 of the NADC with the following qualifications.
a. All streets, lanes, alleys, avenues, roads, promenades, driveways and sidewalks
shall be paved with a hard surface. Gravel or other loose surfacing material
will not be permitted.
b. The Master Developer or assignee shall prepare construction details for any
curb and gutter sections, curb cut locations and driveway aprons, drainage
inlets, utility installation locations within streets and alleys, and any others that
may be necessary in cooperation with the City Engineer. Any such
construction details that are inconsistent with the standards prescribed in the
NADC or its Appendices must be approved by the City Engineer and Planning
Commission in accordance with §II.A. prior to the approval of any major
subdivision plan utilizing the details.
c. The Director may approve shared driveways for any group of lots in
conjunction with the approval of a major subdivision plan.
d. The Planning Commission may require the installation of curb and gutter or
sidewalks or both on any road section.
e. Delineated on-street parking shall be shown on a map or plat drawn to scale
and submitted to the City. The map of delineated spaces will be used to allocate
on-street spaces to nonresidential uses wishing to count the on-street spaces to
meet the required number of parking spaces for the use.
f. An on-street parking space may be used only once to meet a parking
requirement.
g. Streets designed to include on-street parallel parking on one or both sides of
the street shall be constructed wide enough from curb to curb to provide for
on-street spaces not less than seven (7) feet in width and two required travel
lanes. Required travel lanes for roads that have not been constructed shall be
no less than nine (9) feet in width on local roads and nine and one half (9.5)
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 12 of 26
feet in width on collector roads. Front Street, Center Street (excluding the
segments adjacent to Riverside Village), Railroad Avenue, West Avenue and
the yet to be identified access road to Phase E are considered collector roads.
In no event shall any two way street be less than twenty (20) feet in width and
no one way street shall be less than twelve (12) feet in width.
h. Delineated parallel parking spaces shall be twenty-two (22) feet in length and
shall be delineated with lines in a manner approved by the City Engineer.
i. Streets that are designed for on-street parking spaces on only one side of the
street may provide for parallel parking on one side for a portion of a block of
not less than sixty (60) feet, and on the other side for the balance or a second
portion of the block of not less than sixty (60) feet. If the delineated parallel
parking spaces shift from one side of the street to the other, the delineated
spaces must be separated by a minimum distance of twenty (20) feet.
j. On-street parking spaces shall be delineated with four (4) inch white
thermoplastic or four (4) inch white lines painted with approved pavement
marking paint. All on-street spaces shall be delineated.
k. Angle parking spaces, where used, shall measure not less than nine (9) feet in
width by eighteen (18) feet in length in a rectangular parking space area. The
rectangular parking area shall touch the curb at one corner and be aligned at
forty-five (45) degrees to the curb in the direction of vehicular travel. Angle
parking spaces may not encroach into the required width of the travel lane.
l. Perpendicular parking spaces, where used, shall measure not less than nine (9)
feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in length in a rectangular parking space area.
The rectangular parking area shall touch the curb and be aligned at a ninety
(90) degree angle to the curb. Perpendicular parking spaces may not encroach
into the required width of the travel lane of twenty-four (24) feet in width.
Delineated ninety (90) degree perpendicular head in parking spaces shall be
permitted on Lafayette Street adjacent to Parcel K and on Brissie Drive
adjacent to Parcel G and Parcel H of Phase B. These ninety (90) degree
perpendicular head in parking spaces shall be approved as exclusive to the
respective adjacent parcels and permitted to count as residential parking spaces
in order to meet the required number of parking spaces for residential lots.
m. On-street parking space delineations shall be no closer to an intersection so as
to obscure an adequate sight line onto the intersecting street, reduce the
designed turning radius onto an intersecting street, or otherwise limit traffic
turning movements. Generally, parking spaces shall be located no closer to the
intersecting curbs than forty (40) feet from the curb line of the intersecting
street or closer than five (5) feet behind the front setback of the building on the
first lot of the intersecting street, whichever is greater.
n. Front Street shall be designed and constructed to include parallel parking on
one or both sides from the west side of Piedmont Common/Fallmouth Street,
to the point where it turns north and into Railroad Avenue.
o. Railroad Avenue in the vicinity of Preservation Park has been adjusted to
reduce the sharp curves and improve safety through the Blue Clay Farm area.
p. The West Avenue extension from Bluff Avenue to Railroad Avenue is the only
external connection planned for Hammond’s Ferry that has not been
developed. The completion of the West Avenue extension will be reviewed
subsequent to the completion of Phase B and again subsequent to the
completion of Phases A and D. The review will calculate actual traffic counts,
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 13 of 26
trip generation based on future development and distribution of traffic between
existing external connections. Based on the NADC standards for external
connectivity, the need for an additional external connection at West Avenue
will be determined. The West Avenue extension, if developed, will be grade
separated from the Greeneway.
q. As part of the major subdivision design review process, all street, utility, storm
drainage, landscaping and on and off-street parking design shall be reviewed
by the staff Development Review Committee for consistency and compliance
with applicable development standards. On and off-street parking, street tree
location, spacing, and species, traffic control signage and street light locations
will be included in all plans submitted with applications for major subdivision
development approvals. Plans will be designed by the Master Developer or
assignee and evaluated by the City to ensure adequate visibility of traffic
control signage, adequate sight triangles at intersections and to consider future
landscape maintenance requirements. Street design including on-street parking
shall be specifically designed and evaluated for adequate emergency vehicle
access.
2. Pedestrian Circulation: Pedestrian walkways and sidewalks will be provided
throughout the development connecting the residential phases with each other and
with the commercial phases, adjacent neighborhoods, parks and other pedestrian
trails in the vicinity including any pedestrian connection across the Savannah
River.
3. Bulk Standards for Lot Types: Building location on a lot, minimum setbacks,
build-to lines, building height, a building’s relationship to the street and allowable
building encroachments into the right of way are the bulk standards specified in
this section. Site constraints including existing and proposed easements, utilities,
and natural features including trees may affect the location of a structure on a lot.

f. Urban Zone Lot Minimum Setback Details:
g. Special Front Encroachment Provisions for Commercial Uses on Urban
Zone Lots: This section is applicable where the use of an urban zone lot is
commercial (office, restaurant or retail) and the business actively utilizes the
sidewalk adjacent to the building for outdoor eating, sales or entertainment.
Architectural elements at grade including stoops, ramps, stairs, porches,
colonnades, arcades and bay windows, projecting forward of the front plane of
the building, may encroach upon the right of way up to one (1) foot provided
vehicular and pedestrian circulation is not unreasonably restricted and the
encroachment is approved in writing by the Director and City Engineer. In no
case may the unobstructed width of the sidewalk be reduced to less than five
(5) feet.
h. Special Front Overhang Provisions for Urban Zone Lots:
i. Where the ground level use is nonresidential and the sidewalk in front of
the building may be utilized for outdoor eating, sales, entertainment or
window shopping, or where protection from the sun and rain is desirable
and appropriate, awnings, canopies, marquees and entryway covers
projecting forward of the front plane of the building may encroach upon
the right of way up to five (5) feet provided that the lowest element of the
overhang is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang may
extend up to the entire width of the facade. The encroachment must be
approved in writing by the Director and City Engineer.
ii. In locations where the ground level use is residential, awnings, canopies,
marquees and entryway covers over the stoop or entry feature projecting
forward of the front plane of the building may encroach upon the right of
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 18 of 26
way up to five (5) feet provided that the lowest element of the overhang is
not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang should extend no
more than one foot on either side of the stoop or entry feature. The
encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City
Engineer.
iii. For all uses on levels above the ground level, balconies and balcony
awnings, canopies, or covers over the balconies projecting forward of the
front plane of the building may encroach upon the right of way up to three
(3) feet provided that the lowest element of the balcony or overhang is not
less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang should extend no more
than one foot on either side of the window or door which it serves. The
encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City
Engineer. Regardless of the relationship to the front property line, in no
event may upper level balconies and associated awnings, canopies or
covers extend more than three (3) feet from the face of the building.
i. Special Front Setback Provisions for Lots Located on a Green: Lots that
front directly on a Green may have a zero front setback. Steps, stoops, ramps,
buttresses, chimneys, cornices, pilasters, bay windows and overhanging roofs,
eaves, gutters, awnings, etc. eight (8) feet or more above grade may extend
beyond the front property line into the Green up to two and a half (2.5) feet.
j. Corner Lots in the Urban Zone: Corner lots in the urban zone will be
considered to have two fronts, one on each of the two intersecting streets. If,
in the review of a site plan for a structure on a corner lot, the City determines
that a sightline for traffic visibility is obstructed by the proposed structure,
greater setbacks may be required. Detached accessory garage structures require
a three (3) foot exterior side setback to provide for adequate turning radius and
access.
k. Corner Lots in the Neighborhood Zone:
i. Corner lots in the neighborhood zone that are served by an alley in the rear
shall adhere to the exterior side setback provisions for neighborhood lots
provided, however, that detached accessory garage structures accessed
from the street rather than the alley require a three (3) foot exterior side
setback to provide for adequate turning radius and access.
ii. Corner lots in the neighborhood zone that border a mid-block side yard in
the rear shall maintain a five (5) foot rear setback and the exterior side
setback shall be five (5) feet for the rear thirty-five (35) feet of the lot.
Additionally, the midblock lot to the rear of the corner lot may maintain a
front setback of seven and a half (7.5) feet.
l. Front Setback Uniformity: The front setbacks on lots where there is a
transition from an urban to a neighborhood zone, or where the front setbacks
on lots in either zone are proposed to be greater than the minimum permitted,
should be designed to maintain a uniform transition. The difference in front
setbacks on adjacent lots shall be five (5) feet. In and out variations of front
setbacks from lot to lot shall be avoided.
m. Alley Side Setbacks: If the side property line of a lot is adjacent to an alley,
the minimum setback from the alley right of way shall be three feet for
principal buildings and accessory structures.
n. Maximum Side Setbacks: Maximum side setbacks are necessary to maintain
a consistency in the scale and relationship of buildings within the development.
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 19 of 26
Maximum interior side setbacks must be maintained for a distance of twenty-
five (25) feet from the front property line but not less than ten (10) feet from
the face of the building. The distance from the face of the building may not be
measured from the face of a porch, stoop, balcony, bay window or other
projection. Maximum exterior side setbacks must be maintained for not less
than fifty percent (50%) of the length of the structure. Any portion of the length
of the side lot line adjacent to a right of way shall be defined by a wall or fence
not less than six (6) feet high. The wall or fence may be penetrated by gates or
driveways to parking areas.
o. Exceptions to Maximum Front and Side Setbacks on Urban Zone Lots:
Maximum front and side setbacks may be increased where the setback area is
used for a plaza, pocket park, parking spaces, or pedestrian amenity and where
the area can be programmed for active use including outdoor restaurant seating,
entertainment, a fountain or statuary, outdoor seating, pedestrian connection to
a parking area or other space intended for active use. Such spaces are important
to larger scale structures, civic structures, schools and similar uses.

professional office and civic use; for Phase B, this parking requirement is
deemed met due to on-street parking and parking available in the parking
decks located on Parcel B and Parcel E, as may be further provided for in
an MPA.
v. One half (½) per hotel room.
vi. Two (2) per assisted living room or one (1) per assisted living bed,
whichever is less.
vii. Parking required for assembly uses including churches, schools, sports
stadiums, conference facilities, etc. shall be provided off-street and
determined and approved at the time of site plan approval. The
determination of required parking may be referred to the Planning
Commission pursuant to §II.A.4 above.
viii. Except for Phase B and as provided for in any MPA, parking required for
residential uses shall be provided off-street and must be accessed from an
alley unless the lot is designed for side street garage access or is a front
loaded lot.
ix. Parking required for multifamily residential uses may be satisfied by
available parking spaces in the parking decks located on Parcel B and
Parcel E, as may be further provided for in an MPA.
e. Parking required for nonresidential uses may include on-street parking where
available and shall be delineated adjacent to the frontage of the property in
accordance with §II.E.1 of this Ordinance. Not more than one-half (½) of the

be used to provide required handicap spaces.
g. Trucks, boats, campers and trailers (collectively, recreational vehicles) shall be
parked in single-family residential rear yards or designated recreational vehicle
parking areas only. Designated recreational vehicle parking areas may be used
only by the owners or tenants of structures located on lots within the
Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development. Recreational vehicle parking areas
should be located away from major traffic and activity areas and screened from
public view to the extent practicable. Appropriate locations include within
power line easements and on the fringe of open space areas. As low turnover
parking areas, designated recreational vehicle parking areas shall be paved
with an all weather surface. A gravel surface may be used provided drainage
is adequately designed and maintained to prevent fines from eroding into
drainage ways and a twenty (20) foot asphalt or concrete apron between the
parking area and edge of pavement in the public right of way is installed and
maintained.
h. Unless provided separately in an MPA, which shall control over this
Ordinance, as part of the application submittal for each major subdivision
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 23 of 26
development plan, the Master Developer or its assignee shall prepare and

open space landscaping will be done in cooperation with the City. Public space
improvement plans shall be subject to applicable review and approval by the
City.
b. Street Trees: Each street to be dedicated to the City shall be landscaped with
street trees within the minimum five (5) foot planting strip between the back
of the curb or edge of the pavement and the sidewalk. The number, size and
spacing of street trees shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the NADC and as approved by the City.
c. Street tree spacing may be adjusted where necessary to provide for adequate
sight lines at intersecting streets and alleys and to prevent the obstruction of
stop signs.
d. Street trees shall be installed along both sides of streets. Where the property
on one side of a street is occupied by a park, open space, pond, lake or plaza,
the requirement for and location of street trees on that side of the street may be
waived or adjusted pursuant to §II.A.4 of this Ordinance.
e. Private Site Landscaping: Landscaping of commercial, multifamily and civic
sites, including parking lots, shall be in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the NADC. The character of the Hammond’s Ferry Planned
Development provides for smaller parcels with less room for landscaping and
larger landscaped public open space. NADC requirements for site and parking
lot landscaping may be waived or adjusted pursuant to §II.A.4 of this
Ordinance. No buffering between uses will be required.
f. Maintenance of Unimproved Lots: Between the time of final approval of a
subdivision plat for a phase or any portion of a phase and prior to the initiation
of construction of a building on a lot, both the lot and any adjacent right of way
landscaping area shall be regularly maintained by the developer. Maintenance
shall include regular mowing to keep grass less than twelve (12) inches in
height, weed control and pest control.

SECTION 4: SITE HISTORY
The general development plan for the Hammond's Ferry project (previously the North Augusta
Riverfront) was initially approved by the Planning Commission on July 25, 2002 and by the City
Council in Ordinance No. 2002-23 on December 12, 2002. Since that time the design of the
project has changed for a variety of reasons. The changes have been approved by the City
Council in three formal amendments to the development agreement.
The Planning Commission approved a minor modification to the General Development Plan
(GDP) on May 19, 2005 to reflect the various changes to the overall plan. The major subdivision
for Phase A 1 was approved in September 2004. The master developer received approval from
the Planning Commission for a minor modification to the General Development Plan in
February 2006 to clarify the setback requirements. Phase A2 was approved by the Planning
Commission at the March 2006 meeting. Phase A3 was approved by the Planning Commission
at the May 2007 meeting. Phase D was approved by the Planning Commission at the June 2014
meeting.
The general development plan was reviewed and revised to incorporate a development plan for
Phase B (Town Center). The major modification to the GDP and Planned Development
Ordinance were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at the
May 21, 2015 meeting. City Council adopted the GDP and Ordinance on August 3, 2015.
The Phase B Major Subdivision Plan was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission at
the October 15, 2015 meeting.
Projects previously approved for Phase "B" include the stadium, Ironwood Apartments, The
Clubhouse, the Stadium Parking Deck and the Hotel Parking Deck.
The remaining portions of Section A were sold to H. F. Developer’s, LLC (“HFD”) in 2016. Phase
C has been purchased by a private land owner, and Phase E has no proposal for development at
this time. Any further development in Phase C or E will be required to meet the requirements of
the existing PD at the time or request a modification as required by the Development Code or
the PD Ordinance.
The Planning Commission approved a minor modification to the text of PD2015-14 on
September 19, 2019 with PDM19-001. The Planning Commission approved a minor
modification to the text of PD2015-14 on December 19, 2019 with PDM19-003.

Access – The roads serving this property include Center Street, Railroad Avenue and Riverside
Boulevard, which are all city maintained. A Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for Phase B
and encompassed a significant study area to review the potential impacts of a large-scale
development.
Topography – The subject property is relatively flat, however, it does slope towards the river.
Utilities –The property has existing water line and sanitary sewer lines serving the entire
Hammond’s Ferry Development. Any extension or connection will be made per City standards.
Floodplain – The subject property does have federally designated floodway. Any construction
within these areas must meet federal, state, and local standards as certified by the Floodplain
Administrator.
Drainage Basin – This site is located within the Crystal Lake Drainage Basin as designated on the
City of North Augusta Stormwater Management's Drainage Basin Map. The Stormwater
Management Department has conducted a baseline assessment of the basin and rates the overall
quality as poor with water impairments including nitrates, ammonia and manganese, found in
the samples. The report also indicates that areas of the basin have channel and stream bank
degradation. This site partially drains to Brick Pond Park, which is designed as a stormwater
treatment cell.

SECTION 6: STAFF EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS
Staff has determined that the modifications requested qualify as a major modification to the
existing PD GDP, ORD 2015-14. Staff finds that this modification is generally in compliance with
the original design intent for Phase B of the property and supported by the Comprehensive
Plan.
Section 5.7.3.4 of the NADC prescribes project information that must be addressed by the Staff
and Planning Commission in the review of General Development Plans for proposed Planned
Developments. Staff findings related to each issue follow.
1. Type of PD proposed, physical characteristics of the land, relation of the proposed
development to surrounding areas and existing and probable future development.
Hammond’s Ferry has been under construction as a traditional mixed-use development.
The majority of the property has been developed as residential. Housing types in Phase
B, known as Riverside Village, will include townhomes, multifamily condominiums and
apartments (both as separate structures and over commercial uses). Riverside Village
also includes commercial, entertainment and assembly facilities (including the Sharon
Jones Amphitheater), a hotel, recreation (including SRP Park, a riverfront extension of
the Greeneway, and boat docks).
The land is level floodplain and appropriate for the uses proposed by the Planned
Development. A protion of the property known as Brick Pond Park is a reconstructed
wetland used to treat stormwater before it is discharged into the Savannah River.
2. Relation to major roads, utilities and other facilities and services.
An important element of the design of the Hammond’s Ferry Development was to
redevelop the riverfront to connect new activity with the traditional downtown area
along Georgia Avenue and parts of West Avenue. Riverside Village is the key piece to
this transition. The construction of Center Street over the Greeneway and the extension
of Railroad Avenue under the Georgia Avenue Bridge were completed to facilitate
pedestrian and vehicle transportation between the traditional downtown and the
emerging riverfront development.

3. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements,
contracts, deed restrictions, sureties, dedications, contributions, guarantees, or other
instruments, or the need for such instruments, or for amendments in those proposed.
The development was originally established as a public/private partnership between the
City of North Augusta and the North Augusta Riverfront Company as the master
developer. A new development agreement executed in 2010 added Westo
Development Company, LLC as a partner. Portions of the property are owned by the City
and portions have been transferred to private partners, including the majority of the
remaining property to be developed in Riverside Village. The PD General Development
Plan, PD Ordinance, and Master Parking Agreement, will be applicable to all of the land
within the PD regardless of current zoning.
4. Compliance of the general development plan with the provisions of this Chapter, the
suitability of plans proposed, and the desirability of conditions on the approval, waivers, or
amendments, if any, with reasons therefore.
The plans for Hammond’s Ferry have evolved since the adoption of Ordinance 2015-14
with the participation of the City and individual developers. The plans, including the
revised General Development Plan that is subject to this application, reflect a better
understanding of the land, the current market, and the realistic scope of the remaining
development. The cooperative approach to the development of the revised General
Development Plan addresses a change in market conditions and demand. There are no
requests for conditions on the approval, waivers, or additional amendments from Staff
beyond what is provided within and attached to this Staff report in the form of draft
ordinances.
5. Desirable specific modifications in regulations or the Comprehensive Plan as applicable in the
particular case based on determinations that such modifications are necessary or justified in
the particular case. Any recommended modifications shall be supported by demonstration that
the public purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, PD District or other regulations would be met to
at least an equivalent degree.
No modifications in regulations contained in the NADC or the Comprehensive Plan are
necessary.
Section 5.7.4 of the NADC stipulates that the Planning Commission should consider the
following factors in making a recommendation to the City Council:
1. The relationship of the request to the Comprehensive Plan.

The use and density in Hammond’s Ferry is consistent with the Mixed-Use Classification
in the Future Land Use Map of the 2021 Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for a
Planned Development.
2. Whether the request violates or supports the Comprehensive Plan.
The request supports section 7.3, Prioritize Infill & Redevelopment Downtown of the
2021 Comprehensive Plan including developing a shared parking strategy through the
Master Parking Agreement for Hammond’s Ferry. The Comprehensive Plan’s Downtown
& The Riverfront Chapter recognizes Riverside Village as an important pedestrian link
between the riverfront and the traditional downtown along Georgia Avenue. The overall
Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development also supports section 4.5, Focus New
Development in or Near Mixed-Use Activity Centers so that every resident is within
walking distance of activity centers and public space.
3. Whether the permitted uses would be appropriate in the area concerned.
The development is located adjacent to the traditional downtown area of the City and
to the residential areas surrounding. The permitted uses specified in the PD are the
same uses permitted in the City’s Downtown zoning districts.
4. Whether adequate public facilities such as roads, water and sewer facilities, drainage
facilities, and schools and other public services exist or can be provided to serve the needs of
the development.
Public facilities are available and adequate to serve the remaining development. Much
of the required installation of water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer facilities has
already occurred. Electrical, gas, telephone, and cable utilities have been extended into
the property. The property is served by the Aiken County School District.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends approval of the PD general development plan as
proposed.
These changes will be presented as a draft ordinance for City Council to adopt if recommended
by the Planning Commission.
A draft ordinance approving the modified General Development Plan is attached. Language
proposed to be added to the ordinance is underlined. Language proposed to be deleted is
struck through.

ORDINANCE 2015-14 TO APPROVE THE REVISED GENERAL Page 6
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
Highlands, have not yet been determined. The ultimate determination on the
location of the Georgia Power transmission line easement will influence the
circulation, block and lot design. However, to the extent that residential and
commercial uses are included, Phase E will be developed in a traditional
neighborhood pattern consistent with the initial phases of Hammond's Ferry.
4. Years of Development: The estimated years listed for the development of each
phase are planning estimates for the development of subdivision infrastructure.
Actual years of development for each phase may vary based on economic
conditions, absorption rates and other factors. The completion of buildings on all
of the individual lots developed will take longer.
5. Permitted Uses: All of the uses listed in the D, Downtown Mixed Use District as
shown in Table 3-2, Use Matrix, of the NADC and additional uses listed herein
are permitted in any of the phases of the Hammond's Ferry Planned
Development, in either single use or mixed use structures. The form and scale of
the permitted uses will be determined by the lot type, lot size, required off-street
parking and the Hammond's Ferry Pattern Book.
6. Residential Uses: The mix of uses in each phase will be primarily residential
units of various sizes. Residential units may include for sale or rent single-
family detached and attached, multifamily, and live-work units for small business
and work-at-home activities. Approximately 4.78 dwelling units per acre is the
average gross residential density for the 195.39± acre project. Gross density will
vary between phases. Definitions for density applicable to this project include:
a. DUA: Dwelling units per acre.
b. Gross Density: The number of residential units in a phase or subdivision
divided by the total number of acres in the applicable phase or subdivision
including open space, parks, lakes, streets, alleys, etc.
c. Maximum Density: The total number of residential units that may be
constructed in this project is 933. Maximum density does not include
accessory dwelling units constructed on a detached single family lot in
addition to a primary residential unit.
7. Nonresidential Uses: Neighborhood-serving and destination commercial, civic,
institutional, lodging, recreation, educational and agricultural uses are permitted
throughout the project. The maximum amount of commercial footage on an
individual lot is limited by the lot type, lot dimensions and parking requirements
for the lot.
a. The total commercial development permitted by phase is shown in the chart
in §Il.B.1.
b. Nonresidential uses including retail, restaurant and office uses may be
developed on either urban zone or neighborhood zone designated lots.
c. Nonresidential square footage associated with home occupations, as they are
defined and regulated in the NADC and located in residential units, is not
counted toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in
§Il.B.1.
ATTACHMENT #6
P&D INFORMATION

ORDINANCE 2015-14 TO APPROVE THE REVISED GENERAL Page 7
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
d. Nonresidential square footage included as a major element of a live-work unit
is counted toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in
§11.B.l.
e. Nonresidential intensity in excess of the maximum permitted in §11.B. l may
be approved for development by the City on public lands.
f. Additional uses permitted with no limit in each phase include civic,
institutional, educational, lodging and meeting facilities, agriculture,
boathouse, marina and boat ramp, and active recreation uses.
g. Assisted living facilities, adult congregate homes and nursing homes, if
developed, will be assigned a density at the time of the site plan application
equal to Yi (0.5) of a dwelling unit per room or ~ (0.25) of a dwelling unit per
bed, whichever is greater. Commercial square footage will be calculated
based on the amount of resident therapy and treatment areas, common and
visitor areas including dining where guests may be served.
h. Educational uses include public and private educational facilities at all levels.
L Civic and institutional facilities include government offices, museums, sports
stadiums and churches.
J. Agricultural uses including nurseries and greenhouses should be confined to
areas within power line easements and designated open or green space and
may include limited crops, horticulture, orchards, forestry, beekeeping, and
small fowl and livestock, including but not limited to chickens, rabbits and
goats, for the specific use of individual households, on-site markets, or on-
site commercial operations including a petting zoo.
8. Flex Units and Commercial Space: The Development Program includes fifty
(50) flex units of residential density and fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of
commercial space. Flex units and commercial space may be added to any phase
upon approval of the Planning Commission. Additionally, up to ten percent
(10%) of the residential units allocated to a phase and not utilized in that phase
may be transferred to another phase upon approval of the Planning Commission.
However, no transfer of density may be approved that increases the gross density
for the recipient phase to more than twenty-four (24) residential units per acre.
The Planning Commission authority to approve or deny requests under this
section is the sole discretionary right of said Planning Commission.
C. Lot Types: Each proposed private lot on the Hammond's Ferry General
Development Plan has been designated as either a neighborhood zone lot or an urban
zone lot. Additionally, proposed parks, open space, City owned land and
medians/islands within road rights of way have been designated.
1. Urban Zone Lots: Urban zone lots are intended for structures that are
comparatively large in size, generally cover a substantial portion of the lot and
are constructed close to the sidewalk in front and frequently with a zero side
setback and common wall with an adjacent structure. They are frequently
improved to a greater density and intensity than neighborhood zone lots and are
located on higher traffic volume streets that include a mix of residential and
commercial use structures. Individual urban zone lot structures often contain a
mix of uses, i.e., ground floor commercial and upper story residential. Available

ORDINANCE 2015-14 TO APPROVE THE REVISED GENERAL Page 8
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
on-street parking may be counted toward a portion of the parking requirement for
nonresidential uses located on urban zone lots.
2. Neighborhood Zone Lots: Neighborhood zone lots are primarily intended for
single-family detached and townhome structures. The front, side and rear
setbacks are greater than on urban zone lots. Neighborhood zone lots may
contain commercial uses or a mix of uses including live-work units and
multifamily residential structures. Because of the residential character of the
neighborhood zone, on-street parking may not be counted toward the parking
requirement for uses located on neighborhood zone lots.
3. Modifications to Lot Layouts: The total number and configuration of lots,
including additional or modified lot types, in a phase may be adjusted at the time
major subdivision plans (preliminary plats) are developed and submitted for
approval. The Planning Commission will consider the revised lot configuration in
accordance with §II.A. Changes in lot configurations should be generally
consistent with the designation of urban and neighborhood lots as shown on the
revised General Development Plan.
4. Subdivision of Platted Lots: Unimproved individual lots may be combined to
create larger lots or subdivided to create smaller lots provided that each resulting
lot is occupied by a primary structure that meets the setback requirements of this
ordinance. Adequate street frontage, access to the lot and required off-street
parking must be provided. Accessory dwelling units may not be subdivided from
an existing lot to create a separate lot.
5. Lot Access: All lots shall front on and be addressed on a street or close. No lots
may front on and be exclusively accessed by an alley. However, in specifically
planned and platted situations, groups of lots may front on a green, park or plaza,
addressed on the street that borders the green, park or plaza and utilize an alley
for vehicular access.
6. Front Loaded Lots: Lots that are accessible only from the front (not served by
an alley or a side street) and driveways that enter the lot from the front are front
loaded lots. Garages may be located beside the primary structure, attached or
unattached to the primary structure, with the door facing the street (front loaded)
but must set back not less than eighteen (18) feet from the front property line.
Garages may be located behind the primary structure and be either front or side
loaded but must be set back not less than eighteen (18) feet from the front
property line. Adjacent front loaded lots may share a single driveway provided
adequate cross access easements and maintenance responsibilities are adequately
described and provided for. The maximum side setback may be increased on one
side by eighty percent (80%) if necessary to accommodate the location of a
driveway between a structure and a side lot line.
7. Front Loaded Lots Phase B Only: Lots that are accessible only from the front
(not served by an alley or a side street) and driveways that enter the lot from the
front are front loaded lots. Garages shall be located behind the primary structure
and may be attached or unattached to the primary structure. Garages may be

either front or side loaded. Adjacent front loaded lots rriay share a single
driveway provided adequate cross access easements and maintenance
responsibilities are adequately described and provided for. The maximum side
setback may be increased on one side by eighty percent (80%) if necessary to
accommodate the location of a driveway between a structure and a side lot line.
This will apply to Phase B only.
D. Public Parks, Commons and Plazas: Public parks, commons and plazas include a
number of areas designated on the revised General Development Plan and described
in the following chart. A public park is a recognized publicly owned space available
for passive or active recreation managed by the City. A common is an open
landscaped area within a street right of way that is larger than a median or an island
and may be used for passive recreation. A plaza is a hard surfaced public space
within a commercial area that is actively programmed for public and commercial
events. The chart identifies the phase where each is located, the name, and the entity
responsible for completing the improvements, either the City, the Master Developer,
or its approved assignee. The parks, commons and plazas listed in the chart below
have been or will be purchased by the Master Developer or its assignee, improved to
City standards and deeded to the City. The design and proposed landscaping of all
parks, commons and plazas remaining to be developed and improved and which will
be owned or maintained by the City shall be reviewed, revised as necessary and
approved by the City prior to the initiation of development or improvement. An
asterisk (*) following the name indicates that the park, common or plaza was
improved prior to July 2010.

3. Power Line Easement: Land located within the Georgia Power transmission
line easement may be utilized for agricultural, horticultural, open space or public
parking uses.
4. Riverfront Plaza/Ballpark Village: The Riverfront Plaza/Ballpark Village area
within Phase B will be designed as a multiuse public commercial plaza available
for a variety of special short term events including farmers markets, arts and
crafts shows and sales, and similar activities. Daily uses may include passive
park, outdoor seating for restaurant patrons, casual meeting space and parking.
The detailed design of the space, including the adjacent roadways and sidewalk
space adjacent to buildings surrounding the Village, will be completed through a
cooperative workshop process that includes representatives of the developer, its
consultants, city staff and city officials including the Planning Commission and
City Council. Public amenities, landscaping, pavement treatments, infrastructure
to support special events, on-street parking, vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
parking management, emergency vehicle access and operation and related issues
will be addressed.
5. Greeneway Alignment: The temporary alignment of the Greeneway adjacent to
the Georgia Avenue/13th Street Bridge from Railroad Avenue to Riverfront Park
will be relocated as necessary in conjunction with the final design and
subdivision development plan for Phase B, the Riverfront Center.
6. Preservation Park: Preservation Park is deed restricted as an archeological
resource area and controlled as to the amount of excavation, landscaping and
vertical development that may be constructed. It will be designed and improved
by the Master Developer for a mix of uses that will include small scale special
events, Blue Clay Farm produce sales, open space for informal soccer, softball,
Frisbee and other "pick-up" type recreation activities. Preservation Park will
also be designed to serve as overflow parking for special events in Riverfront
Park and on the Greeneway. Overflow parking use design may include roll over
curbs and sidewalks and structural treatment of the surface to accommodate
vehicle access and parking. The deed restricted portion of the Georgia Power
easement is not a part of Preservation Park and may be used for hard surface
parking, special event parking, limited agriculture and open space in accordance
with archeological deed restrictions.
E. General Development Standards: The following development standards apply to
all development in the project. In situations where the development standards
contained herein are silent or do not provide clear direction, the provisions of the
NADC shall apply. Minor modifications to and waivers from development standards
may be approved by the Planning Commission or Director as applicable at the time
of concept plan approval for a phase or major subdivision plan approval for any
portion of a phase in accordance with §II.A.
1. Streets and Circulation: The thoroughfares in Hammond's Ferry that have not
been constructed to date will be designed to accommodate the safe and efficient
movement of automobiles while providing a comfortable setting for pedestrians
and community interaction. The network of thoroughfares provides multiple

routes and is intended to allow for more narrow rights of way and paved surfaces
that will both lend to a casual, pedestrian friendly, traffic-calming effect and
provide, where practicable or required, for on-street parking throughout the
project. Street sections and associated modifications shall comply with those
delineated in Article 14 of the NADC with the following qualifications.
a. All streets, lanes, alleys, avenues, roads, promenades, driveways and
sidewalks shall be paved with a hard surface. Gravel or other loose surfacing
material will not be permitted.
b. The Master Developer or assignee shall prepare construction details for any
curb and gutter sections, curb cut locations and driveway aprons, drainage
inlets, utility installation locations within streets and alleys, and any others
that may be necessary in cooperation with the City Engineer. Any such
construction details that are inconsistent with the standards prescribed in the
NADC or its Appendices must be approved by the City Engineer and
Planning Commission in accordance with §II.A. prior to the approval of any
major subdivision plan utilizing the details.
c. The Director may approve shared driveways for any group of lots in
conjunction with the approval of a major subdivision plan.
d. The Planning Commission may require the installation of curb and gutter or
sidewalks or both on any road section.
e. Delineated on-street parking shall be shown on a map or plat drawn to scale
and submitted to the City. The map of delineated spaces will be used to
allocate on-street spaces to nonresidential uses wishing to count the on-street
spaces to meet the required number of parking spaces for the use.
f. An on-street parking space may be used only once to meet a parking
requirement.
g. Streets designed to include on-street parallel parking on one or both sides of
the street shall be constructed wide enough from curb to curb to provide for
on-street spaces not less than seven (7) feet in width and two required travel
lanes. Required travel lanes for roads that have not been constructed shall be
no less than nine (9) feet in width on local roads and nine and one half (9 .5)
feet in width on collector roads. Front Street, Center Street (excluding the
segments adjacent to Riverfront Plaza/Ballpark Village), Railroad Avenue,
West A venue and the yet to be identified access road to Phase E are
considered collector roads. In no event shall any two way street be less than
twenty (20) feet in width and no one way street shall be less than twelve (12)
feet in width.
h. Delineated parallel parking spaces shall be twenty-two (22) feet in length and
shall be delineated with lines in a manner approved by the City Engineer.
1. Streets that are designed for on-street parking spaces on only one side of the
street may provide for parallel parking on one side for a portion of a block of
not less than sixty (60) feet, and on the other side for the balance or a second
portion of the block of not less than sixty ( 60) feet. If the delineated parallel
parking spaces shift from one side of the street to the other, the delineated
spaces must be separated by a minimum distance of twenty (20) feet.
J. On-street parking spaces shall be delineated with four (4) inch white
thermoplastic or four (4) inch white lines painted with approved pavement
marking paint. All on-street spaces shall be delineated.

k. Angle parking spaces, where used, shall measure not less than nine (9) feet in
width by eighteen (18) feet in length in a rectangular parking space area. The
rectangular parking area shall touch the curb at one comer and be aligned at
forty-five ( 45) degrees to the curb in the direction of vehicular travel. Angle
parking spaces may not encroach into the required width of the travel lane.
1. On-street parking space delineations shall be no closer to an intersection so as
to obscure an adequate sight line onto the intersecting street, reduce the
designed turning radius onto an intersecting street, or otherwise limit traffic
turning movements. Generally, parking spaces shall be located no closer to
the intersecting curbs than forty ( 40) feet from the curb line of the
intersecting street or closer than five (5) feet behind the front setback of the
building on the first lot of the intersecting street, whichever is greater.
m. Front Street shall be designed and constructed to include parallel parking on
both sides from the west side of Piedmont Common/Fallmouth Street, to the
point where it turns north and into Railroad A venue.
n. The temporary alignment of Railroad A venue in the vicinity of Preservation
Park will be adjusted to reduce the sharp curves and improve safety through
the Blue Clay Farm area. Such adjustment may include a change in the right
of way.
o. The West Avenue extension from Bluff Avenue to Railroad Avenue is the
only external connection planned for Hammond's Ferry that has not been
developed. The completion of the West A venue extension will be reviewed
subsequent to the completion of Phase B and again subsequent to the
completion of Phases A and D. The review will calculate actual traffic
counts, trip generation based on future development and distribution of traffic
between existing external connections. Based on the NADC standards for
external connectivity, the need for an additional external connection at West
A venue will be determined. The West A venue extension, if developed, will
be grade separated from the Greeneway.
p. As part of the major subdivision design review process, all street, utility,
storm drainage, landscaping and on and off-street parking design shall be
reviewed by the staff Development Review Committee for consistency and
compliance with applicable development standards. On and off-street
parking, street tree location, spacing, and species, traffic control signage and
street light locations will be included in all plans submitted with applications
for major subdivision development approvals. Plans will be designed by the
Master Developer or assignee and evaluated by the City to ensure adequate
visibility of traffic control signage, .adequate sight triangles at intersections
and to consider future landscape maintenance requirements. Street design
including on-street parking shall be specifically designed and evaluated for
adequate emergency vehicle access.
2. Pedestrian Circulation: Pedestrian walkways and sidewalks will be provided
throughout the development connecting the residential phases with each other
and with the commercial phases, adjacent neighborhoods, parks and other
pedestrian trails in the vicinity including any pedestrian connection across the
Savannah River.

g. Special Front Encroachment Provisions for Commercial Uses on Urban
Zone Lots: This section is applicable where the use of an urban zone lot is
commercial (office, restaurant or retail) and the business actively utilizes the
sidewalk adjacent to the building for outdoor eating, sales or entertainment.
Architectural elements at grade including stoops, ramps, stairs, porches,
cololUlades, arcades and bay windows, projecting forward of the front plane
of the building, may encroach upon the right of way up to one (1) foot
provided vehicular and pedestrian circulation is not unreasonably restricted
and the encroachment is approved in writing by the Director and City
Engineer. In no case may the unobstructed width of the sidewalk be reduced
to less than five (5) feet.
h. Special Front Overhang Provisions for Urban Zone Lots:
1. Where the ground level use is nonresidential and the sidewalk in front of
the building may be utilized for outdoor eating, sales, entertainment or
window shopping, or where protection from the sun and rain is desirable
and appropriate, awnings, canopies, marquees and entryway covers
projecting forward of the front plane of the building may encroach upon
the right of way up to five (5) feet provided that the lowest element of the
overhang is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang may
extend up to the entire width of the facade. The encroachment must be
approved in writing by the Director and City Engineer.
11. In locations where the ground level use is residential, awnings, canopies,

ORDINANCE 2015-14 TO APPROVE THE REVISED GENERAL Page 18
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
forward of the front plane of the building may encroach upon the right of
way up to five (5) feet provided that the lowest element of the overhang is
not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang should extend no
more than one foot on either side of the stoop or entry feature. The
encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City
Engineer.
iii. For all uses on levels above the ground level, balconies and balcony
awnings, canopies, or covers over the balconies projecting forward of the
front plane of the building may encroach upon the right of way up to
three (3) feet provided that the lowest element of the balcony or overhang
is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang should extend no
more than one foot on either side of the window or door which it serves.
The encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City

extend beyond the front property line into the Green up to two and a half
(2.5) feet.
J. Corner Lots in the Urban Zone: Comer lots in the urban zone will be
considered to have two fronts, one on each of the two intersecting streets. If,
in the review of a site plan for a structure on a corner lot, the City determines
that a sightline for traffic visibility is obstructed by the proposed structure,
greater setbacks may be required. Detached accessory garage structures
require a three (3) foot exterior side setback to provide for adequate turning
radius and access.
k. Corner Lots in the Neighborhood Zone:
1. Corner lots in the neighborhood zone that are served by an alley in the
rear shall adhere to the exterior side setback provisions for neighborhood
lots provided, however, that detached accessory garage structures
accessed from the street rather than the alley require a three (3) foot
exterior side setback to provide for adequate turning radius and access.

the rear shall maintain a five (5) foot rear setback and the exterior side
setback shall be five (5) feet for the rear thirty-five (35) feet of the lot.
Additionally, the midblock lot to the rear of the comer lot may maintain a
front setback of seven and a half (7.5) feet.
1. Front Setback Uniformity: The front setbacks on lots where there is a
transition from an urban to a neighborhood zone, or where the front setbacks
on lots in either zone are proposed to be greater than the minimum permitted,
should be designed to maintain a uniform transition. The difference in front
setbacks on adjacent lots shall be five (5) feet. In and out variations of front
setbacks from lot to lot shall be avoided.
m . Alley Side Setbacks: If the side property line of a lot is adjacent to an alley,
the minimum setback from the alley right of way shall be three (3) feet for
principal buildings and accessory structures.

Highlands, have not yet been determined. The ultimate determination on the
location of the Georgia Power transmission line easement will influence the
circulation, block and lot design. However, to the extent that residential and
commercial uses are included, Phase E will be developed in a traditional
neighborhood pattern consistent with the initial phases of Hammond'sHammond’s
Ferry.
4.4.Years of Development: The estimated years listed for the development of each
phase are planning estimates for the development of subdivision infrastructure.
Actual years of development for each phase may vary based on economic
conditions, absorption rates and other factors. The completion of buildings on all of
the individual lots developed will take longer.
5.5.Permitted Uses: All of the uses listed in the D,Downtown Mixed Use District
as shown in Table 3-2, Use Matrix, of the NADC and additional uses listed herein
are permitted in any of the phases of the Hammond'sHammond’s Ferry Planned
Development, in either single use or mixed use structures. The form and scale of
the permitted uses will be determined by the lot type, lot size, required off-street
parking and the Hammond'sHammond’s Ferry Pattern Book.
6.6.Residential Uses: The mix of uses in each phase will be primarily residential
units of various sizes. Residential units may include for sale or rent single-family
detached and attached, multifamily, and live-work units for small business and
work-at-home activities. Approximately 4.787.9 dwelling units per acre is the
average gross residential density for the 195.39± acre project. Gross density will
vary between phases. Definitions for density applicable to this project include:
a.DUA: Dwelling units per acre.
b.Gross Density: The number of residential units in a phase or subdivision
divided by the total number of acres in the applicable phase or subdivision
including open space, parks, lakes, streets, alleys, etc.
c.Maximum Density: The total number of residential units that may be
constructed in this project is 9331,163. Maximum density does not include
accessory dwelling units constructed on a detached single family lot in addition
to a primary residential unit.
7.7. Nonresidential Uses: Neighborhood-serving and destination commercial, civic,
institutional, lodging, recreation, educational and agricultural uses are permitted
throughout the project. The maximum amount of commercial footage on an
individual lot is limited by the lot type, lot dimensions and parking requirements
for the lot.
a.The total commercial development permitted by phase is shown in the chart in
§II.B.1.
b.Nonresidential uses including retail,hotel,restaurant and office uses may be
developed on either urban zone or neighborhood zone designated lots.
c.Nonresidential square footage associated with home occupations, as they are
defined and regulated in the NADC and located in residential units, is not

ORDINANCE 2015-14 TO APPROVE THE REVISED GENERAL Page 7
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
d.Nonresidential square footage included as a major element of a live-work unit
is counted toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in
§II.B.1.
e.Nonresidential intensity in excess of the maximum permitted in §II.B.1 may be
approved for development by the City on public lands.
f.Additional uses permitted with no limit in each phase include civic,
institutional, educational, lodging and meeting facilities, agriculture, boathouse,
marina and boat ramp, and active recreation uses.
g.Assisted living facilities, adult congregate homes and nursing homes, if
developed, will be assigned a density at the time of the site plan application
equal to 1/2½ (0.5) of a dwelling unit per room or 1/4¼ (0.25) of a dwelling unit
per bed, whichever is greater. Commercial square footage will be calculated
based on the amount of resident therapy and treatment areas, common and
visitor areas including dining where guests may be served.
h.Educational uses include public and private educational facilities at all levels.
i.Civic and institutional facilities include government offices, museums, sports
stadiums and churches.
j.Agricultural uses including nurseries and greenhouses should be confined to
areas within power line easements and designated open or green space and may
include limited crops, horticulture, orchards, forestry, beekeeping, and small
fowl and livestock, including but not limited to chickens, rabbits and goats, for
the specific use of individual households, on-site markets, or on-site
commercial operations including a petting zoo.
8.8.Flex Units and Commercial Space: The Development Program includes fifty
(50) flex units of residential density and fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of
commercial space. Flex units and commercial space may be added to any phase
upon approval of the Planning Commission. Additionally, up to ten percent (10%)
of the residential units allocated to a phase and not utilized in that phase may be
transferred to another phase upon approval of the Planning Commission. However,
no transfer of density may be approved that increases the gross density for the
recipient phase to more than twenty-fourtwenty-seven (2427) residential units per
acre. The Planning Commission authority to approve or deny requests under this
section is the sole discretionary right of said Planning Commission.
C.C.Lot Types: Each proposed private lot on the Hammond'sHammond’s Ferry General
Development Plan has been designated as either a neighborhood zone lot or an urban
zone lot. Additionally, proposed parks, open space, City owned land and
medians/islands within road rights of way have been designated.
1.1.Urban Zone Lots: Urban zone lots are intended for structures
that are comparatively large in size, generally cover a substantial
portion of the lot and are constructed close to the sidewalk in front
and frequently with a zero side setback and common wall with an
adjacent structure. They are frequently improved to a greater
ATTACHMENT #6

density and intensity than neighborhood zone lots and are located
on higher traffic volume streets that include a mix of residential
and commercial use structures. Individual urban zone lot structures
often contain a mix of uses, i.e., ground floor commercial and
upper story residential. Available

DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HAMMOND'S FERRY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
on-street parking may be counted toward a portion of the parking requirement for
nonresidential uses located on urban zone lots.
2.Neighborhood Zone Lots: Neighborhood zone lots are primarily intended for
single-family detached and townhome structures. The front, side and rear setbacks
are greater than on urban zone lots. Neighborhood zone lots may contain
commercial uses or a mix of uses including live-work units and multifamily
residential structures. Because of the residential character of the neighborhood
zone, on-street parking may not be counted toward the parking requirement for
uses located on neighborhood zone lots.
3.Modifications to Lot Layouts: The total number and configuration of lots,
including additional or modified lot types, in a phase may be adjusted at the time
major subdivision plans (preliminary plats) are developed and submitted for
approval. The Planning Commission will consider the revised lot configuration in
accordance with §II.A. Changes in lot configurations should be generally consistent
with the designation of urban and neighborhood lots as shown on the revised
General Development Plan.
4.Subdivision of Platted Lots: Unimproved individual lots may be combined to
create larger lots or subdivided to create smaller lots provided that each resulting
lot is occupied by a primary structure that meets the setback requirements of this
ordinanceOrdinance. Adequate street frontage, access to the lot and required
off-street parking must be provided. Accessory dwelling units may not be
subdivided from an existing lot to create a separate lot.
5.Lot Access: All lots shall front on and be addressed on a street or close. No lots
may front on and be exclusively accessed by an alley. However, in specifically
planned and platted situations, groups of lots may front on a green, park or plaza,
addressed on the street that borders the green, park or plaza and utilize an alley for
vehicular access.
6.Front Loaded Lots:Lots Except as described in §II.B.7 below, lots that are
accessible only from the front (not served by an alley or a side street) and
driveways that enter the lot from the front are front loaded lots. Garages may be
located beside the primary structure, attached or unattached to the primary
structure, with the door facing the street (front loaded) but must set back not less
than eighteen (18) feet from the front property line. Garages may be located behind
the primary structure and be either front or side loaded but must be set back not
less than eighteen (18) feet from the front property line. Adjacent front loaded lots
may share a single driveway provided adequate cross access easements and
maintenance responsibilities are adequately described and provided for. The
maximum side setback may be increased on one side by eighty percent (80%) if
necessary to accommodate the location of a driveway between a structure and a
side lot line.

This will apply to Phase B only.
D.Public Parks, Commons and Plazas: Public parks, commons and plazas include a
number of areas designated on the revised General Development Plan and described in
the following chart. A public park is a recognized publicly owned space available for
passive or active recreation managed by the City. A common is an open landscaped
area within a street right of way that is larger than a median or an island and may be
used for passive recreation. A plaza is a hard surfaced public space within a
commercial area that is actively programmed for public and commercial events. The
chart identifies the phase where each is located, the name, and the entity responsible
for completing the improvements, either the City, the Master Developer, or its
approved assignee. The parks, commons and plazas listed in the chart below have been
or will be purchased by the Master Developer or its assignee, improved to City
standards and deeded to the City. The design and proposed landscaping of all parks,
commons and plazas remaining to be developed and improved and which will be
owned or maintained by the City shall be reviewed, revised as necessary and approved
by the City prior to the initiation of development or improvement. An asterisk (*)
following the name indicates that the park, common or plaza was improved prior to
July 2010.

provide, where practicable or required, for on-street parking throughout the project.
Street sections and associated modifications shall comply with those delineated in
Article 14 of the NADC with the following qualifications.
a.All streets, lanes, alleys, avenues, roads, promenades, driveways and sidewalks
shall be paved with a hard surface. Gravel or other loose surfacing material
will not be permitted.
b.The Master Developer or assignee shall prepare construction details for any
curb and gutter sections, curb cut locations and driveway aprons, drainage
inlets, utility installation locations within streets and alleys, and any others that
may be necessary in cooperation with the City Engineer. Any such
construction details that are inconsistent with the standards prescribed in the
NADC or its Appendices must be approved by the City Engineer and Planning
Commission in accordance with §II.A. prior to the approval of any major
subdivision plan utilizing the details.
c.The Director may approve shared driveways for any group of lots in
conjunction with the approval of a major subdivision plan.
d.The Planning Commission may require the installation of curb and gutter or
sidewalks or both on any road section.
e.Delineated on-street parking shall be shown on a map or plat drawn to scale
and submitted to the City. The map of delineated spaces will be used to allocate
on-street spaces to nonresidential uses wishing to count the on-street spaces to
meet the required number of parking spaces for the use.
f.An on-street parking space may be used only once to meet a parking
requirement.
g.Streets designed to include on-street parallel parking on one or both sides of the
street shall be constructed wide enough from curb to curb to provide for
on-street spaces not less than seven (7) feet in width and two required travel
lanes. Required travel lanes for roads that have not been constructed shall be no
less than nine (9) feet in width on local roads and nine and one half (9.5) feet in
width on collector roads. Front Street, Center Street (excluding the segments
adjacent to Riverfront Plaza/BallparkRiverside Village), Railroad Avenue, West
Avenue and the yet to be identified access road to Phase E are considered
collector roads. In no event shall any two way street be less than twenty (20)
feet in width and no one way street shall be less than twelve (12) feet in width.

width by eighteen (18) feet in length in a rectangular parking space area. The
rectangular parking area shall touch the curb at one corner and be aligned at
forty-five (45) degrees to the curb in the direction of vehicular travel. Angle
parking spaces may not encroach into the required width of the travel lane.
l.Perpendicular parking spaces, where used, shall measure not less than nine (9)
feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in length in a rectangular parking space area.
The rectangular parking area shall touch the curb and be aligned at a ninety
(90) degree angle to the curb. Perpendicular parking spaces may not encroach
into the required width of the travel lane of twenty-four (24) feet in width.
Delineated ninety (90) degree perpendicular head in parking spaces shall be
permitted on Lafayette Street adjacent to Parcel K and on Brissie Drive
adjacent to Parcel G and Parcel H of Phase B. These ninety (90) degree
perpendicular head in parking spaces shall be approved as exclusive to the
respective adjacent parcels and permitted to count as residential parking spaces
in order to meet the required number of parking spaces for residential lots.
m.1.On-street parking space delineations shall be no closer to an intersection
so as to obscure an adequate sight line onto the intersecting street, reduce the
designed turning radius onto an intersecting street, or otherwise limit traffic
turning movements. Generally, parking spaces shall be located no closer to the
intersecting curbs than forty (40) feet from the curb line of the intersecting
street or closer than five (5) feet behind the front setback of the building on the
first lot of the intersecting street, whichever is greater.
n.m.Front Street shall be designed and constructed to include parallel parking on

through the Blue Clay Farm area.Such adjustment may include a change in the
right of way.
p.o.The West Avenue extension from Bluff Avenue to Railroad Avenue is the
only external connection planned for Hammond'sHammond’s Ferry that has not
been developed. The completion of the West Avenue extension will be
reviewed subsequent to the completion of Phase B and again subsequent to the
completion of Phases A and D. The review will calculate actual traffic counts,
trip generation based on future development and distribution of traffic between
existing external connections. Based on the NADC standards for external
connectivity, the need for an additional external connection at West Avenue
will be determined. The West Avenue extension, if developed, will be grade
separated from the Greeneway.
q.p.As part of the major subdivision design review process, all street, utility,
storm drainage, landscaping and on and off-street parking design shall be
reviewed by the staff Development Review Committee for consistency and
compliance with applicable development standards. On and off-street parking,

Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development
General Development Plan Narrative
July 20, 2010, Revised April 17, 2015,
Revised February 20, 2024
Introduction
The Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development, approved by ordinance in 2002 as the North
Augusta Riverfront Planned Development and revised by ordinance in 2010 and in 2015, is the
subject of an application for a major modification to the Planned Development General
Development Plan (GDP). The request is a joint application between the City of North Augusta
“City”, Greenstone Hammond’s Ferry, LLC “Greenstone” and SCP Acquisitions, LLC, an affiliate
of South City Partners “SCP”, which is under contract to purchase certain portions of Phase B of
the Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development in a proposed joint venture with Greenstone.
Greenstone is also referred to herein as the Phase B Developer and is a party to a Master
Development Agreement with the City dated March 15, 2017, as amended, pursuant to which
Greenstone was designated as the Master Developer for Phase B of Riverside Village, formerly
known as Riverfront Park/Ballpark Village.
The intent of the current General Development Plan modification is to outline modifications to
complete the development of Phase B of Riverside Village as a mixed use project combining retail
and residential uses along with the pre-existing multi-family, hotel and recreational facilities in
Riverside Village. To the extent any provisions herein do not relate to Phase B, no revisions or
updates have been made,
Overview of the Hammond’s Ferry Project
Hammond’s Ferry will be a vibrant, mixed-use village adding a new center of residential,
commercial, and recreational life within the historical context of the North Augusta riverfront. The
new village will be a focal point of local and regional activity that will bring together new and old
residents, regional employees and business patrons, and regional visitors in a lively, pedestrian-
oriented environment of inviting public spaces, walkable streets, and traditional architecture.
Residential, commercial, and civic uses will be combined with parks, opens spaces, and a
wonderful public realm of streets and sidewalks to provide a critical mass of activity and life to
the new village.
Hammond’s Ferry will be distinguished by an integrated collection of wonderful residences,
commercial activity, civic gathering places, ample recreational activities, and cultural events that
will appeal to a wide spectrum of residents, visitors from the surrounding towns, and regional
guests. Rooted in the appeal of its exceptional setting, Hammond’s Ferry will grow organically
over time to create an authentic, lasting, and sustainable set of neighborhoods that, working
together, will offer a sense of intimacy and community for residents and visitors alike.
Hammond’s Ferry will be a place defined by physical and social connections. Located at the edge
of the Savannah River, where North Augusta meets its waterfront, Hammond’s Ferry will become
a center of commercial activity for the surrounding area, providing a strong foundation for
Riverside Village that will serve residents and visitors alike. Physical connections will be
reinforced by the network of intimate streets, the Greeneway path system, the GreenJackets

Stadium, and the parks, the system of sidewalks throughout the project, and the sense that
pedestrians and bicyclists alike can enjoy the experience of the public spaces, streets, natural
assets, and pathways that will weave Hammond’s Ferry together internally, tying together the City
above, the ponds below, the River, Riverside Village, and the many amenities that Hammond’s
Ferry will offer.
In seeking qualities and personality that are distinctive and characteristic of Hammond’s Ferry and
which will give it an authentic sense of place, the programming of the village will focus on the
needs and character of this particular community and on the unique aspects of this site and its
context. Hammond’s Ferry will strive accordingly not to reproduce other projects, other places,
or other programs but rather to grow organically into its own character in such a way that it will
be forever tied to its location, its circumstances, and most importantly to the people who choose
to make Hammond’s Ferry their home or their place of business.
The Heart of the Village – Riverside Village
Within Hammond’s Ferry, Riverside Village (Phase B) itself will be the primary center of mixed-
use activities serving the surrounding neighborhoods and will be the center of higher intensity
civic, retail, commercial, and residential uses. Riverside Village is the heart and soul of the
neighborhood - the one common area of activity to which all residents and visitors have a sense of
connection.
A key aspect of Riverside Village is the creation of public space or spaces around which
commercial activities can flourish and within which people can undertake a variety of activities,
ranging from shopping to public markets to simply hanging out. Public spaces can range in form
from the streets and sidewalks to small plazas or large commons. In each case they must be
characterized by careful consideration of the street front experience and the creation of vitality that
comes from the right mix of commercial activity, residences, ample open space, street landscaping,
and street furniture. Public spaces in Riverside Village should be highly activated by adjacent
shops and restaurants. Wherever possible, commercial activity and dining should spill out onto
the street to further engage people and spaces and make them a part of the experience.
Rituals and festivals should be used to further activate the optimal use of outdoor space for
gathering and social interaction. Whether an outdoor market, a musical event or performance, or
a fair, activities and regularly scheduled events are essential to the social interaction that will
satisfy the human desire to meet and interact with others. Residents will get to know their
neighbors and will become more deeply attached to the village that they call home. As the scope
and regularity of events grows, visitors too will come just to be a part of and feel included in this
community experience that is so characteristic of a true mixed-use village.
A carefully crafted mix of small, local and regional shops and restaurants together with a careful
selection of commercial and civic anchors will contribute to the creation of a vital and sustainable
village center that will both serve the needs of residents and visitors in search of a unique, intimate
commercial experience unlike that in any of the nearby commercial centers. The program will
combine certain basic conveniences with a variety of social gathering places and entertainment
venues, a limited mix of specialized retail and food shops, a contingent of professional office uses
and service components, a variety of recreational and athletic components, and an array of civic
components that lend an authentic town-like quality to the commercial core of Riverside Village.

Recreational Life in Hammond’s Ferry
Recreation and wellness will be an essential part of the Hammond’s Ferry experience for people
of all ages. Using the natural amenities and open spaces of the site as a key resource for outdoor
activities, Hammond’s Ferry will offer a range of recreational amenities to enhance fitness and
outdoor oriented activities.
Outdoor features of the site, including the ponds, portions of the forested areas, the stream bed,
and access points along the river will be woven together into a network of pathways, exercise
areas, and outdoor activity zones. Outdoor activity facilities and events throughout the year will
help to create a community focused on health and well being for all ages as well as a place where
active lifestyles are encouraged. The network of paths and outdoor activity sites combined with
the streets and sidewalks throughout the project will foster a focus on walking, jogging, hiking and
bicycling as ways to get around the site and enjoy the neighborhoods, the ponds, the parks and the
riverfront.

commercial uses. Residential units may include: single-family detached and attached for sale,
multifamily for sale and rent, and live-work units for sale for small and at-home businesses.
The program allows for up to 275,000 square feet of commercial space throughout the project, the
majority of which shall be located in Riverside Village. Up to 220,000 square feet of the commercial
space is planned for Riverside Village.
Neighborhood serving retail, such as corner stores, and civic uses, such as meeting halls or places
of worship, may be distributed throughout the new neighborhoods. Additional uses permitted on
each parcel include civic, institutional, educational, recreational and medical uses. The total of
non-residential, including commercial, civic, institutional, educational, recreational and medical
uses, shall not exceed 400,000 square feet in gross area for the entire project area.
Assisted living facilities, adult congregate homes and nursing homes, if developed, will be
assigned a density at the time of the site plan application. Educational uses include public and
private educational facilities at all levels. No commercial intensity will be assigned to educational
facilities. Civic and institutional facilities include government offices, museums, and churches.
No commercial intensity will be assigned to civic and institutional uses.
Permitted Uses
All of the uses listed in the Downtown Mixed Use District as shown in Table 3-2, Use Matrix, of
the NADC and additional uses listed herein are permitted in any of the phases of the Hammond’s
Ferry Planned Development, in either single use or mixed use structures. The scale of the permitted
uses will be determined by the lot type, lot size, required off-street parking and the Hammond’s
Ferry Pattern Book.
Residential Uses
The mix of uses in each phase will be primarily residential units of various sizes. Residential units
may include for sale or rent single-family detached and attached, multifamily, and live- work units
for small business and work-at-home activities. Eight units per acre is the average gross residential
density for the approximately 195.39 acre project. Gross density will vary between phases. In
this project the net density for an individual building or site is unlimited. Definitions for density
applicable to this project include:
Definitions for density applicable to this project include:
A. DUA: Dwelling units per acre.
B. Gross Density: The number of residential units in a phase or subdivision divided by the
total number of acres in the applicable phase or subdivision including open space, parks,
lakes, streets, alleys, etc.
C. Maximum Density: The total number of residential units that may be constructed in this
project is 1,163. Maximum density does not include accessory dwelling units constructed
on a detached single-family lot in addition to a primary residential unit.
D. Net Density: The number of residential units in a project or on a site excluding designated
open space, parks, lakes, streets, alleys, etc. There is no maximum net density applicable
to an individual building or site in this project.

Nonresidential Uses
Neighborhood-serving and destination commercial, civic, institutional, lodging, recreation,
educational and agricultural uses are permitted throughout the project. The maximum amount of
commercial footage on an individual lot is limited by the lot type, lot dimensions and parking
requirements for the lot.
A. The total commercial development intensity permitted by phase is shown in the table chart
in Table 1 above. Intensity is defined as “the number of gross square feet of nonresidential
use developed per acre.”
B. Nonresidential uses including retail, restaurant, hotel, and office uses may be developed on
either urban zone or neighborhood zone designated lots.
C. Nonresidential square footage associated with home occupations, as they are defined and
regulated in the NADC and located in residential units, is not counted toward the maximum
commercial intensity by phase specified in Table 1.
D. Nonresidential square footage included as a major element of a live-work unit is counted
toward the maximum commercial intensity by phase specified in Table 1.
E. Nonresidential intensity in excess of the maximum permitted in Table 1 may be approved
for development by the City on public lands.
F. Additional uses permitted with no limit in each phase include civic, institutional,
educational, lodging and meeting facilities, agriculture, boathouse, marina and boat ramp,
and active recreation uses.
G. Assisted living facilities, adult congregate homes and nursing homes, if developed, will be
assigned a density at the time of the site plan application.
H. Educational uses include public and private educational facilities at all levels.
I. Civic and institutional facilities include government offices, museums and churches.
J. Agricultural uses, including nurseries and greenhouses, should be confined to areas within
power line easements and designated open or green space and may include limited crops,
horticulture, orchards, forestry, beekeeping and small fowl and livestock, including but not
limited to chickens, rabbits and goats, for the specific use of individual households, on-site
markets or on-site commercial operations including a petting zoo.
4. Phasing of the project by parcel including development periods and completion dates for
each phase.
The project is identified by five phases designated as Phases A, B, C, D and E. Phase A is primarily
residential and currently has 3 sub-phases in which infrastructure improvements have been
completed and where occupied residential and commercial units are currently located. Phase B
contains Riverside Village, which is planned for public uses, a stadium, mixed-use retail,
neighborhood and general commercial uses, multifamily buildings and single-family residential
units. It is estimated that Phase B will be developed between 2015 and 2027. Plans for Phase C
and Phase E will be finalized at a later time and will be developed as needed. Phase D, consisting
of additional single-family residential lots, is under development.
The take-down areas and phases represented in the plan are not considered to be absolute and need
not be taken down sequentially or contiguously. The development of one phase need not be
completed in its entirety before purchasing and proceeding with another. Each phase will also be
divided into smaller phases. The breakdown of phases into smaller phases will enhance the ability

of the project to deal effectively with the logistics of engineering and market considerations.
Flexible sequencing and organization of parcels and phases will enhance adaptability to the
changing market and will enhance the effort to develop a sense of local neighborhoods within the
larger parameters of the project. While the overall project will have qualities, characteristics and
shared features in common, phases can be combined to create smaller, more immediate
neighborhood units based on proximity and a shared character.
5. Ownership of the land and the development project at the time of the application.
North Augusta Riverfront Company (NARC) (or its successors or assigns) owns the property
identified as Phase A, and a portion of Phase C. The acreage within Phase D is owned by Westo
Development Company, LLC (or its successors or assigns) and Phase E is owned by the City.
North Augusta Riverfront Company or other assigned developers approved by the City of North
Augusta will continue to develop the property in phases subsequent to purchasing it from the City
in a series of take-downs. As developed, platted lots will be sold to individual builders or
subdevelopers. The purchase agreement and development agreement originally executed in 2002
and subsequently amended are in the process of additional amendments.
On or about March 15, 2017, the City and NARC conveyed that portion of the Hammond’s Ferry
Planned Development constituting Phase B to Greenstone and certain wholly-owned subsidiary
entities
On March 15, 2017, the City, Greenstone and certain other parties entered into a Master Development
Agreement and subsequently entered into several amendments thereto extending the term thereof (as
so amended, the “Phase B Master Development Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things,
the City designated Greenstone as master developer for a mixed use project in the City, now known
as “Riverside Village”, which project is the subject of the revisions set forth herein.
6. Major physical features including easements, streams, floodplains and significant stands
of trees as indicated on the most recent City-maintained aerials.
The Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development is situated on approximately 200 parcels adjacent to
the Savannah River with a relatively flat topography. The Savannah River forms the southern
boundary, James U. Jackson Bridge to the east. The southern boundary adjacent to the
Savannah River encompasses approximately 1 mile of riverfront. The Greeneway Trail and
public lands form the northern and western boundaries of the project. The majority of the project
is located with the FEMA designated 100 year flood plain. The western portion of the site of
approximately 75 acres was previously used for agricultural production for an extended period of
time and has been reverted to native grasses. The eastern portion of the site was utilized as an
industrial district in the early 1900s and consisted of brick factories, cotton warehouses, lumber
yards and other industrial uses. Following the demise of the industrial district, many of the
culled brick and building slabs were left on site and are visible on the surface as well as within the
soil strata. Today this area is re-established with a wooded variety of Hackberries,
Sycamore, Pine, and Oak species as well as undergrowth of English Privet and native shrubs. The
northern portion of the site consists of two large bodies of water, West Pond and East Pond, both
of which were used as excavation pits for the brick manufacturers. On the far western portion
of the site, Phases D and E are separated by Crystal Creek which lies within the public lands and

enters the River at the southwest corner of the project.
The project contains a 100 foot overhead transmission line easement and associated guy wire
easements owned by Georgia Power Company. The easement enters the project at the western
edge and, upon reaching the interior of Phase A, turns to the south and crosses the Savannah
River. Development within the easement is restricted and must follow guidelines established by
Georgia Power Company. The project formerly contained a second overhead transmission
easement owned by South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G). Through a relocation agreement
with the City of North Augusta, SCE&G and North Augusta Riverfront Company, the line was
relocated north of the project to a new transmission corridor. The project also contains a 25 foot
sanitary sewer easement which services a 30 inch concrete trunk line owned by the City of North
Augusta. Development within this easement is also restricted and must follow guidelines
established by the City of North Augusta.
The project contains a 2.3 acre archeological preservation area. A 1.65 acre portion of the
preservation area is identified as Preservation Park. The balance of the preservation area is located
in the Georgia Power easement and may be used for surface parking. Both parcels are owned by
the City. The archeological preservation area was identified through studies performed by
Brockington and Associates, an archeological and historic preservation consulting company. The
archeological investigations were required by the National Historic Preservation Act and federal
funding associated with the construction of Center Street. Development and ground disturbing
activities within the park and preservation area within the power line easement are limited
according to a federally required deed restriction placed on the property by the South Carolina
Department of Transportation.
7. Specific target market for the development project and proposed disposition of parcels,
phases or units in the development, i.e., sale of single-family homes to first time buyers; sale
of market rate rental apartment buildings to investors; retention of ownership and
management of commercial lease space; etc.
The target market for the Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development is a group of traditional
families, empty nesters and retirees, younger single households and two person households
currently living in the draw area for this project. The primary draw area for new residential
construction in this riverfront site has been defined as the City of North Augusta; the balance of
Aiken County; the surrounding counties of Richmond and Columbia Counties, Georgia; and
Edgefield and Lexington Counties, South Carolina. The preferences of these draw area households
result in a healthy mix and distribution of housing types, including multifamily for rent, single-
family attached for sale, and low-, mid-, and high-range single-family detached for sale.
8. Identification of any common area, private roads, common parking lots, open space,
recreation areas or community facilities to be retained by the project developer after build-
out and disposition, i.e., transferred to a homeowner or condominium association, placed in
a conservation easement, dedicated to the City, or otherwise deed restricted.
The roads, alleys, sidewalks and all areas within the right of way will be public. Improvements
within the right of way will be installed by the developer and through the dedication process be
accepted by the City of North Augusta. The project will also contain numerous parks and open
spaces, both public and private. Several parks including Boeckh Park, Brick Pond Park and the

Greeneway Trail were jointly constructed through the efforts of and funding by the North Augusta
Riverfront Company and the City of North Augusta. The GreenJackets Ballpark is owned by the
City and certain uses of the GreenJackets Ballpark are licensed by the City to GreenJackets
Baseball, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, which owns the minor league team currently
playing its home baseball games in the GreenJackets Ballpark, all pursuant to a Stadium License
Agreement dated February 20, 2017. In addition to the parks and open areas, the project will also
contain both public and privately developed parking areas that will be available for public use.
These parking areas will serve as overflow parking for civic and institutional uses in Riverside
Village, retail employees and customers and will be further utilized during public events within
the project. In addition to roadways, alleys, and sidewalks, key open space components of the
project include:
A. Public Parks, Commons and Plazas: A public park is a recognized publicly owned space
available for passive or active recreation managed by the City. A common is an open
landscaped area within a street right of way that is larger than a median or an island and
may be used for passive recreation. A plaza is a hard surfaced public space within a
commercial area that is actively programmed for public and commercial events. A listing
of the parks and commons appears in Section 14.
B. Private Open Space Greens: Open space that is not retained in City ownership, including
“greens” that provide a shared front yard for several lots, will be platted as open space and
ultimately deeded to the Hammond’s Ferry Property Owners Association.
C. Small Medians and Islands. Small medians and islands within road rights of way have
been or will be improved by the Master Developer or its assignees in conjunction with
road construction and dedicated to the City.
D. The Power Line Easement: Land located within the Georgia Power transmission line
easement may be utilized for agricultural, horticultural, open space or public parking uses.
9. Description of property management arrangements after buildout and disposition
including provisions for the maintenance and funding of common elements, i.e., project
developer retains ownership and management responsibility, special taxing district,
homeowner or condominium association established through covenants responsible for
property management, purchasers of individual parcels responsible for property
management, etc.
The rules and regulations that define how the property will be managed in the Hammond’s Ferry
Planned Development are addressed in a body of Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions. Generally, once rules for a governing body or homeowners association or assembly
(“Association”) have been defined and approved, the Association will have as one of its primary
responsibilities the control and maintenance of the commons and common areas within the project
as well as any property over which it has responsibilities by virtue of a lease, rental agreement,
other contract or easement. As Titleholder to the common areas, the Association, like all other
Titleholders to Real Property, shall be responsible for maintaining such Titleholder’s Real Property
in a clean and attractive condition and in good order and repair.
The Association holding Title to the commons shall have the right and responsibility to establish

a contract with a property management company for the purpose of maintaining the designated
common areas. This would include maintenance of any thoroughfares and particularly alleyways
that do not fall within the domain of individual property owners or that have not been dedicated
as public rights of way. Common areas maintained by the Association may include nonpublic
auxiliary parking areas, playground areas, pocket parks, special entrances, lakes, community docks
and mail facilities. Maintenance of landscaping within the common areas will be carried out by
the designated property manager under the control of the Association.
Common recreational facilities such as pools, tennis courts and club areas, if retained by the
Association directly, will be maintained either by the designated management company or, if
privately owned, operated or leased, by the management company designated by the operating
entity. Similarly, private owners of commercial properties shall, as Titleholders or Leaseholders,
be responsible for the maintenance of all property to which they hold title, including any privately
owned or operated parking areas associated with their property.
Areas that are for general public use but which are privately owned or operated for commercial or
recreational use are bound by the same obligations for maintenance and upkeep as individual
property owners, as required by and of the governing body and as defined in the Covenants, Codes
and Restrictions. Parking lots or garages owned by the Association would be maintained by their
designated property manager while similar facilities owned or operated by other entities would be
maintained by the operating entity under the stipulations of the Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions and ultimate control of the Association. The same general approach would apply to
property owned or operated by the City, including not only streets and parks but also publicly
owned facilities such as convention centers.
Optimally, the large majority of the real property contained within the project should be privately
owned or operated or publicly dedicated, leaving, as delineated in Item 8, only a minimal area of
non-publicly operated common areas to be maintained by the Association and thus reducing
unnecessary burden on homeowners. In order to ensure the ability of the Association to enforce
the stipulated standards throughout the project, the documents shall indicate that, should a
Titleholder fail to conform with its obligations for maintenance and repair of real property, the
Association will have the authority and ability to cure and, where deemed appropriate, levy an
assessment upon the Titleholder for the costs involved.
The Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development is a public private partnership between the North
Augusta Riverfront Company and the City of North Augusta pursuant to property acquisitions and
development agreements. The North Augusta Riverfront Company and its successors and assigns
is considered the Master Developer. Portions of the development may be assigned or sold to sub-
developers for implementation. The documents applicable to the development including design
standards in the Pattern Book and various covenants and restrictions will be applicable to all of the
developers and all of the development and will be enforced by the Master Developer or the
Hammond’s Ferry Property Owners Association as applicable. Changes to the design guidelines,
covenants and restrictions must be approved by the City prior to implementation.

its citizens to enjoy the amenities provided by a well-designed network of parks and public
spaces, and provide social, aesthetic and economic value to all citizens of North Augusta. The
following paragraphs provide detail about how the development will accomplish these goals:
The Plan is about Connections
The main design concept controlling the master plan is connections. The streets and blocks are
woven into an interconnected pattern, and there is an even finer grain of pedestrian routes, service
lanes and small outdoor spaces. The interconnectedness will allow for a variety of ways to get
around the neighborhood, come and go to other parts of the City, allow for intelligent management
of infrastructure, preserve water quality and let the value of the waterfront real estate reach upland
into the neighborhood as a whole. Current residents of the City will have a variety of routes to get
to the public riverfront, whether by walking, riding bicycles or driving.
The basic structure underlying the plan is its pattern of livable streets, which are thought of as
meaningful public spaces that should add value and not just serve as conduits for cars. The streets
will be designed to inherently calm traffic while accommodating motorists, cyclists and
pedestrians. The architecture is critical, too; most streets will be lined with buildings that have
porches, stoops, balconies and verandas within “conversational distance” of the sidewalk.
Everywhere, doors and windows will face the public spaces, supplying “eyes-on-the-street” for a
sense of safety and community. With an increase in chance human contact, the people who live
here or visit here often will develop their own community “connection.”
The plan promises a varied, interesting place that nurtures its occupants and visitors with a
neighborly environment. This is why there will be diversity in street character, land uses and
activities, building types, building sizes, household sizes and dwelling types. This is why there
will be a variety of settings, from the relaxed to the bustling, agreeable to our regular routines and
our unexpected encounters. This kind of urban design leads to a natural human habitat resonating
with the way people really live their lives in an enduring community.
Extending the City to the Riverfront
The plan is crafted around the experience of the pedestrian walking from the Downtown to the
riverfront. For example, the design team imagined how this experience would unfold in a spatial
sequence, as one walks from the Georgia Avenue main street area, marked civically and
architecturally by the presence of the new Municipal Center, across the Greeneway, across Brick
Pond Park, down Center Street and across Railroad Avenue to arrive at Riverside Village. From
there pedestrians can descend to the Riverfront Park and stroll along Front Street. The plan
provides for as direct a route as possible for descending the hill from the old town. After crossing
the Greeneway Trail, the terrain flattens out into the broad opening of Brick Pond Park, across
which pedestrians will see the elegant urban quarter that frames the pond, reshaped from the
remnants of one of the old pools that resulted from the digging of clay to make bricks. Most of
the streets in this part of the central riverfront will be narrow and intimate and, as you make your
way to and along the waterfront, you’ll pass through spaces bordered by houses large and small,
row houses and refined apartment buildings. Subtle “cranks” in the street alignment will contain
the views to create a village character and calm traffic; the new neighborhood will not reveal itself
all at once, but rather will unfold gradually as one moves through this sequence.

Just before arriving at the water’s edge, the space will open up into Riverside Village (Village),
the most important public space in this part of town. The Village will be open on its south side to
frame the view to the Savannah River, and buildings up to as much as three stories and higher will
enclose the other sides. The Village is planned as the most urbanized area in Hammond’s Ferry
and a focal point for the region. Several routes will converge on the Village so, coming from any
direction, you’ll probably end up there. The Village area will be visible from the Jackson Bridge,
and is intended to be a “window” looking both into and from the community.
The Village will be deliberately proportioned so that it is not too large or too small, is easy to see
across, and will be defined spatially by the buildings and trees. The idea is for the Village to be
sufficiently intimate without being cramped. It should look natural and feel comfortable both when
there are only a few people around and when it is fully occupied at the busiest times.
In addition to becoming integral to the everyday life of the neighborhood, the Village will provide
a space for public gatherings that extends down to the River. The GreenJackets Ballpark on the
riverfront houses the Class A Augusta GreenJackets baseball team and is also used to stage public
performances, events or ceremonies. The streets around the Village will be purposefully snug to
encourage walking back and forth across them and minimize any sense of separation between
storefronts. The Village’s south side leads down to the Riverfront Park, part of a continuous public
walkway that parallels the River’s edge and serves as a component of the Greeneway throughout
the area.
As the heart of the central riverfront, Riverside Village is intended to be a microcosm reflecting
the diversity of the whole City. As planned, one will see, standing on the Riverfront Park area,
civic uses, places to eat, some stores, offices and lodging as well as wonderful homes along Front
Street. Along one part of the Riverfront Park, a special building could engage the water’s edge
and provide a boathouse for rowers, with a potential dining pavilion or clubhouse above. Boat slips
along the Riverfront Park would allow visitors to arrive at the Center by boat as well. Riverside
Village and neighboring Front Street will be a prestigious address, a destination welcoming folks
from the whole town, and a “postcard” place all at the same time.
The Hammond’s Ferry Development Offers Opportunities to the Whole Community
The public waterfront is the greatest asset for the community. People are drawn to public
waterfronts. In every culture and climate, in every corner of the earth, humans have naturally
settled along the riverbanks for millennia. Once our forebears prized the waterways primarily for
commerce and transportation; prosperity flowed with the water. Rivers like the Savannah became
hardworking industrial highways, populated by rough and colorful characters and, in the days
before modern sanitation and flood control, were not all that glamorous. Today we value the
breeze, the long view and the changing moods of the river; we gather at the water’s edge for
community rituals and festivals; we prize the buildings that overlook the river and reflect in the
water.
Connecting the Park along the River to the Greeneway Trail adds a splendid amenity available for
all in the community, especially for those who use it for recreation or exercise. Riverside Village
offers the community a place for a variety of activities, such as shopping, dining, strolling and
visiting with friends. This will be the location for special events such as sporting events, concerts,
festivals, outdoor performances, puppet shows and civic ceremonies. Folks who live and work

there will have the advantage of using their cars less frequently, saving themselves time and
money.
This development will be built with a high quality of design and construction, so that it will become
a source of pride for the whole community and serve as an important symbol to the City.
11. A description of the projected traffic volumes within the planned development and the
design capacity and roadway classification of roads (both public and private) proposed to be
constructed in the development.
Several traffic studies associated with Hammond’s Ferry have been completed since the
development was initiated. Those studies also addressed traffic associated with the adjacent Town
Center area including the Municipal Center. The studies were completed for several purposes
including the design of Center Street and the intersections with Bluff and Georgia Avenues. The
initial studies were completed by the firms of Glatting Jackson of Orlando, FL, and Sprague &
Sprague of Greenville, SC. In October 2007 the City’s traffic consultant, SRS Engineering of West
Columbia, SC, completed a review of the two earlier studies and evaluated the potential need for
the completion of the West Avenue Extension to serve Hammond’s Ferry. The SRS review was
based on a buildout of 1,040 residential units (425 single family detached and 615 multifamily
units) and 71,000 square feet of commercial space. The SRS study also considered the periodic
traffic associated with special events held in the City parks and facilities within Hammond’s Ferry.
A second traffic study was recently completed by SRS to review all existing and projected buildout
traffic volumes and to accommodate potential Riverside Village development along with current
and planned development in the Town Center area. The 2015 report identifies potential mitigation
issues that will be reviewed and addressed in conjunction with future development applications.
Internal to Hammond’s Ferry, the interconnected system of local streets adequately accommodates
traffic generated by the development. Railroad Avenue, Crystal Lake Drive and Center Street
provide external connections to the development. Railroad Avenue, Front Street and Center Street
operate as collectors to collect and distribute both internal and external traffic within the
development. Crystal Lake Drive functions as a subcollector and provides an alternate ingress and
egress route.
The 2007 SRS traffic review estimated an internal traffic capture rate of 15%. The resulting total
weekday daily external trip generation was calculated at 10,115. The AM peak hour trip generation
was 570 and the PM peak hour trip generation was 952. Based on these numbers and the previously
assumed buildout of the Town Center area, the connections provided by Railroad Avenue to
Riverside Boulevard, Center Street and Crystal Lake Drive will operate within capacity. The
intersection of Center Street and Georgia Avenue will operate at borderline operating conditions
during the PM peak period. West Avenue will remain a designated external connection on the
general development plan. However, the ultimate need for the construction of West Avenue will
depend on the final scale of development in both Hammond’s Ferry and the Town Center. Periodic
reviews of traffic conditions and projections using actual traffic counts for development in place
should be conducted and a final decision on the need for West Avenue should be made based on
the levels of service provided by the three other external connections.
12. Relationship of the proposed development to major roads, the anticipated increase in
traffic volumes in the area, and the potential need for transportation system expansion or

enhancements to serve the proposed development.
As mentioned above in Item 10, a key design concept behind Hammond’s Ferry is
interconnectedness: the development's streets, sidewalks, green spaces and parks, and civic
amenities all connect to create a public realm whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The
streets and sidewalks are crafted and shaped in such a way that they provide a livable, pedestrian
friendly network of paths that access all areas of the development. The network of streets and
sidewalks provides easy access among multiple routes to each neighborhood, civic amenity, park
and commercial district that the development has to offer.
The current primary access to Hammond’s Ferry is Center Street. Other access points utilize
Riverside Boulevard/Shoreline Drive traffic circle and also Crystal Lake Drive. As the project
proceeds, additional connections with Hammond Ferry Road (across the City owned ‘Keenan’
property) and with Savannah Pointe in Campbelltown Landing will be considered. If the
developers, the City and adjacent property owners determine that the connections are desirable
and feasible, they will be cooperatively pursued. Additionally, the extension of West Avenue into
Hammond’s Ferry will be considered in a later phase based upon the type and density of total
development and total trip generation. If it is determined that the additional connection is
necessary, the City and the developer will work cooperatively to create the additional connection.
In addition to providing new pedestrian and vehicular access to the Riverfront, all roadway
connections that cross the existing Greeneway will have grade separated pathways that allow for
the uninterrupted continuity of the existing Greeneway trail along the north side of the project.
13. Proximity of the proposed development to municipal utilities, i.e., water and sewer, the
capacity of existing systems (treatment, distribution, collection), and the potential need for
system expansion or enhancements to serve the proposed development.
Conceptual Plan of Sanitary Sewer Service
The project utilizes the 30 inch diameter gravity sewer which bisects the project as the primary
means for servicing sewer requirements. The 30 inch gravity sewer provides enough capacity to
service the project. The majority of the project will require the implementation of lift stations to
service sewer requirements. A smaller portion of the development may utilize gravity fed sewer
as mean to access the existing 30 inch gravity sewer pending continued engineering studies.
Distribution lines which service the project units will be located within public rights of way where
applicable.
Conceptual Plan of Potable Water/Fire Water Service
The project utilizes the 24 inch water line located on the northern side of the property as well as
the tie-in at the Riverside Boulevard/Shoreline Drive traffic circle. Connections to these lines
distribute water into the development that will be used for potable water, fire protection and
irrigation. Distribution lines and service lines will be sized according to engineering calculations
to meet adequate flow requirements as established by City Code and design requirements. Loops
and sub loops will be implemented into the distribution design. Lines will be located within the
public right of way and must include fire hydrants to provide a 500 foot radius of coverage at each
hydrant.

Conceptual Plan for Electrical Service
Electric service for the development is provided by SCE&G. SCE&G provides single phase and
three phase service for the project. Electric utilities for the project are installed underground
through the use of rigid conduit for primary lines, secondary lines and service lines. Temporary
overhead lines will be installed to provide service until such time the permanent lines can be placed
underground. Various above ground transformers, junction boxes, streetlights and other necessary
hardware as required by SCE&G will be located within the project. Coordination of installation
and utility locations will be jointly determined by SCE&G, the developer and, when required, the
City of North Augusta.
14. Location, boundaries and categories of existing and planned open space and parks and
the relationship of the proposed development to existing and planned municipal park and
recreation facilities, a description of any park or recreation facilities included in the
proposed development program, and the potential need for additional facilities.
The Hammond’s Ferry neighborhood will dramatically enhance the park and recreational
opportunities for the citizens of North Augusta. This important objective is shared by the City of
North Augusta and the Leyland team and will be accomplished in several ways. First, the
Riverfront creates a significant extension of the already excellent North Augusta Greeneway. The
new Greeneway extension creates several new experiences for its users, including the dramatic
new addition of its frontage on the Savannah River. Second, the Riverfront will include a
significant number of new parks and playgrounds for the citizens of North Augusta. The largest
of these parks will provide significant new opportunities to access the Savannah River and other
recreational opportunities.
Development of the Greeneway extension and the major park on the Riverfront commenced in the
first phase of the project in cooperation with the City. Many other smaller parks and playgrounds
have been and will be added in later phases and spread throughout the neighborhood to make sure
that everyone has accessible opportunities for recreation and repose. Third, the Riverfront will
also contain additional large, passive public spaces, including the two newly shaped, beautiful and
usable lakes. Finally, Riverside Village’s street network serves not only as an important element
in the transportation network. Rather, these streets will be designed and built to serve as important
recreational resources for citizens. Whether biking, jogging or rollerblading, citizens will have an
entirely new network of usable streets to enjoy. Through all these new opportunities, we expect
this park and greenspace network to play a crucial role in the development of social and aesthetic
value for the North Augusta community.
Parks and Open Space Areas
Public Parks, Commons and Plazas: Public parks, commons and plazas include a number of areas
designated on the revised General Development Plan and described in the following chart.
A public park is a recognized publicly owned space available for passive or active recreation
managed by the City. A common is an open landscaped area within a street right of way that is
larger than a median or an island. Commons serve as viewing corridors for the surrounding lots
and will primarily consist of open grass areas and limited shrubs and trees. Commons may also be
used for passive recreation activities such as family picnics and small gatherings. A plaza is a hard

● Description of Parks
A. Boeckh Park: Boeckh Park is a multiuse facility located on the Greeneway Trail consisting
of approximately 1 acre of open grass area, a brick pavilion with fireplace, and a
community boat dock that is used for temporary boat parking and recreation. The park is
adjacent to the intersection of Crystal Lake Drive and Front Street. The Park can be
reserved by the public for private functions through the North Augusta Department of
Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services.
B. Piedmont Common: Piedmont Common is a linear common located at the intersection of
Fallmouth Street and Boeckh Street and extends to Front Street. The common consists of
an open grassy area surrounded by landscaped borders. The common is conducive for
small family gatherings such as a picnic or game of Frisbee.
C. Diamond Common: Diamond Common is located within the right of way of Crystal Lake
Drive at its intersection with Fallmouth Street. Fallmouth Street crosses the center of
Diamond Common. Diamond Common is used solely as a landscape median and entry
feature for the Crystal Lake entrance to the development.
D. Preservation Park: Preservation Park is deed restricted as an archeological resource area
and controlled as to the amount of excavation, landscaping and vertical development that
may be constructed. It will be designed and improved by the Master Developer for a mix
of uses that will include small scale special events, Blue Clay Farm produce sales, open
space for informal soccer, softball, Frisbee and other “pick-up” type recreation activities.
Preservation Park will also be designed to serve as overflow parking for special events in
Riverfront Park and on the Greeneway. Overflow parking use design may include roll over

curbs and sidewalks and structural treatment of the surface to accommodate vehicle access
and parking. The deed restricted portion of the Georgia Power easement is not a part of
Preservation Park and may used for hard surface parking, special event parking, limited
agriculture and open space in accordance with archeological deed restrictions.
E. Brick Pond Park: Brick Pond Park is a 45 acre wetlands park that utilizes the excavation
pits from the brick and pottery manufacturers which formerly occupied the site. Brick Pond
Park consists of two main bodies of water, East Pond and West Pond, and also contains a
smaller water treatment cell. The Park serves the citizens of North Augusta as a
recreational and educational facility through the implementation of trail networks, an
outdoor pavilion and informational kiosks. Brick Pond Park also serves a vital role as a
water treatment facility for Hammond’s Ferry as well as the lower quadrant of the existing
Downtown North Augusta.
F. Riverfront Park: Riverfront Park is located adjacent to the Riverside Village and consists
of an area of approximately 1.5 acres. The Park is also part of the Greeneway Trail
network. The Park will be used in conjunction with Riverside Village to host public events
such as musical entertainment, movies in the park and other recreational activities. The
Park may also host larger City events such as the Yellow Jessamine Festival and the Jack-
o-Lantern Jubilee. Amenities will include an entertainment pavilion, a boathouse to
facilitate needs of rowers and small crafts, and docking facilities for day use boaters.
G. Riverfront Plaza: The Riverfront Plaza area within Phase B has been designed to include
a multiuse public commercial plaza available for a variety of special short term events
including farmers markets, arts and crafts shows and sales, and similar activities. Daily
uses may include passive park, outdoor seating for restaurant patrons, casual meeting space
and parking. The detailed design of the space including the adjacent roadways and sidewalk
space adjacent to buildings surrounding and within Riverside Village has been completed
through a cooperative workshop process that includes representatives of the developer, its
consultants, city staff and city officials including the Planning Commission and City
Council. Public amenities, landscaping, pavement treatments, infrastructure to support
special events, on-street parking, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and related issues will be
addressed.
H. Peerless Common: Peerless Common is a small linear open space within the right of way
of a future road located in Phase D of the development.
I. Arrington Common: Arrington Common is a trapezoid shaped common within the right
of way of Arrington Avenue in Phases A2 and D.
J. Power Line Easement: Land located within the Georgia Power transmission line easement
may be utilized for agricultural, horticultural, open space or public parking uses.
15. Relationship of the proposed development to area schools and the estimated additional
enrollment in the school system.
Hammond’s Ferry will be designed and built to serve as a natural and logical extension of North
Augusta's civic life, with an explicit goal of fostering an enhanced sense of community. Since

schools play an important role in the civic life of any well functioning community, we consider
having a school in Hammond’s Ferry to be an important long term goal. We do not yet know how
this goal will be achieved, but will work with the appropriate officials and citizens to bring a school
to this neighborhood if possible. It is worth noting that some preliminary discussions have been
held regarding the future establishment of a public charter school for elementary students. Though
discussions have been very preliminary, this type of school would benefit the children in
Hammond’s Ferry development as well as children from greater North Augusta.
Regarding demand, many of the future residents of Hammond’s Ferry will be existing North
Augusta residents, and will continue to use many of the same civic amenities as in the past,
including North Augusta's public-school system. Based on the target market for homes in this new
development, and based on the fact that many of the residents of the development will be existing
North Augusta residents, it is estimated that the additional student generation per unit will be
relatively low, in the range of approximately 0.3 new students per unit.
16. Topography, natural drainage systems, and wetlands on the site and the impact of the
proposed development including preservation of open space, natural landscaping, wetlands,
natural buffers, etc.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater management and sediment control will be designed in accordance with the South
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Bureau of Water’s South
Carolina Stormwater Management and Sediment Control Handbook for Land Disturbance
Activities and the City of North Augusta’s requirements. Stormwater collection systems will be
designed for the 2, 10, and 25-year, 24-hour storm event. Detention and/or retention elements will
be designed for the 10-year, 24-hour event and to safely pass the 100-year, 24-hour event.
Detention waivers will be requested for areas directly adjacent to the Savannah River which
currently drain directly to the river. Stormwater runoff from the vast majority of the site will be
collected and routed to the West Pond and East Pond located in the center of the site. Actual
storage and outfall requirements will be dependent on final development plans.
Sediment and erosion control will be designed in accordance with SCDHEC requirements. The
project will be designed and constructed in phases, and sediment and erosion control will be
implicit to each phase. Generally, sediment and erosion control will utilize those best management
practices detailed in Appendices E and H in the SCDHEC Handbook. In addition to standard
practices, the development will utilize the sustainable water quality systems such as forebays,
discharge pools and bioretention as water quality practices.
Preliminary Subsurface Conditions
Preliminary subsurface exploration work has encountered significant remnants of the brick works
and other buildings and operations that once occupied the property. The soil borings and test pits
performed to date indicate the presence of subsurface brick over much of the easterly portion of
the property to the north and south of Railroad Avenue. Some of the brick appears to result from
the destruction and collapse of the brick structures once located along Railroad Avenue.
Significant deposits of brick to greater depths appear to be the result of dumping from the brick
factories and from the remains of the brickworks themselves. Generally, the test pits encountered

brick to depths of two to over 12 feet below the existing ground surface on the north side of
Railroad Avenue. On the south side, two to three feet of brick has been found on the ground
surface with deeper deposits occurring in and around the brick factory and along the west property
line of the parcel formerly used for brick production. Numerous structures, slabs, walls, subsurface
vaults and foundation remnants were observed throughout the east portion of the site. The actual
horizontal and vertical extend of these conditions is not known.
The western portion of the site consists of alluvial soils generally composed of silty sand and clay.
The soil strata vary greatly depending on the depth of excavation and soil moisture. It has been
found that existing soil conditions are not suitable for standard infrastructure installation
techniques and requires the use of offsite fill or soil amendments to meet compaction requirements.
It has been found that these soils will generally support most vertical construction and foundation
walls through the use of spread footings and additional support to structures under three stories in
height. Any structures over three stories may require additional soil testing and engineering for
load bearing capacities.
Site preparation and foundation design and construction will be significantly affected by the
materials encountered. Conventional site preparation and grading measures may not be applicable
in areas where adverse conditions exist. Also, many of these conditions are not suitable for
roadway or shallow foundation support using conventional design and construction techniques.
Significant site preparation measures will be required in certain areas to remedy the subsurface
conditions observed. Such measures may include, but not be limited to, undercutting the unsuitable
materials and replacing them with suitable structural fill; lowering foundations though unsuitable
materials; or using driven, auger-cast or similar pile type foundations.
17. Description of design and “zoning bulk standards” applicable to the project, by parcel if
appropriate, i.e., setbacks, height, buffers, landscaping, building materials, sidewalks, street
trees, etc.
Lot Types
Each proposed private lot on the Hammond’s Ferry General Development Plan has been
designated as either a neighborhood zone lot or an urban zone lot. Additionally, proposed parks,
open space, city owned land and medians/islands within road rights of way have been designated.
A. Urban Zone lots: Urban zone lots are intended for structures that are comparatively large
in size, generally cover a substantial portion of the lot and are constructed close to the
sidewalk in front and frequently with a zero side setback and common wall with an adjacent
structure. They are frequently improved to a greater density and intensity than
neighborhood zone lots and are located on higher traffic volume streets that include a mix
of residential and commercial use structures. Individual urban zone lot structures often
contain a mix of uses, i.e., ground floor commercial and upper story residential. Available
on-street parking may be counted toward a portion of the parking requirement for all uses
located on urban zone lots. All Phase B lots are designated as Urban Zone lots.
B. Neighborhood Zone lots: Neighborhood zone lots are primarily intended for single- family
detached and townhome structures. The front, side and rear setbacks are greater than on

urban zone lots. Neighborhood zone lots may contain commercial uses or a mix of uses
including live-work units and multifamily residential structures. Because of the residential
character of the neighborhood zone, on-street parking may not be counted toward the
parking requirement for uses located on neighborhood zone lots.
C. Lot Access: All lots shall front on and be addressed on a street or close. No lots may front
on and be exclusively accessed by an alley. However, in specifically planned and platted
situations, groups of lots may front on a green, park or plaza, addressed on the street that
borders the green, park or plaza and utilize an alley for vehicular access.
D. Front Loaded Lots: Except as described below, lots that are accessible only from the front
(not served by an alley or a side street) and driveways entering the lot from the front are
front loaded lots. Garages may be located beside the primary structure, attached or
unattached to the primary structure, with the door facing the street (front loaded) but must
set back not less than eighteen (18) feet from the front property line. Garages may be
located behind the primary structure and be either front or side loaded but must be set back
not less than eighteen (18) feet from the front property line. Adjacent front loaded lots may
share a single driveway provided adequate cross access easements and maintenance
responsibilities are adequately described and provided for.
E. Front Loaded Lots Phase B Only: In Phase B, lots that are accessible only from the front
(not served by an alley or a side street) and driveways that enter the lot from the front are
front loaded lots. Garages shall be located behind the primary structure and may be attached
or unattached to the primary structure. Garages may be either front or side loaded. Adjacent
front loaded lots may share a single driveway provided adequate cross access easements
and maintenance responsibilities are adequately described and provided for. The maximum
side setback may be increased on one side by eighty percent (80%) if necessary to
accommodate the location of a driveway between a structure and a side lot line. This will
apply to Phase B only.
Bulk Standards for Lot Types
Building location on a lot, minimum setbacks, build-to lines, building height, a building’s
relationship to the street and allowable building encroachments into the right of way are the bulk
standards specified in this section. Site constraints such as existing and proposed easements,
utilities and natural features including trees may affect the location of a structure on a lot.

A. Special Front Encroachment Provisions for Commercial Uses on Urban Zone Lots: This
section is applicable where the use of an urban zone lot is commercial (restaurant or retail)
and the business actively utilizes the sidewalk adjacent to the building for outdoor eating,
sales or entertainment. Architectural elements at grade, including stoops, ramps, stairs,
porches, colonnades, arcades and bay windows, projecting forward of the front plane of
the building, may encroach upon the right of way up to one (1) foot provided vehicular and
pedestrian circulation is not unreasonably restricted and the encroachment is approved in
writing by the Director of Planning and Development (Director) and City Engineer. In no
case may the unobstructed width of the sidewalk be reduced to less than five (5) feet.
B. Special Front Overhang Provisions for Urban Zone Lots:
1) Where the ground level use is non-residential and the sidewalk in front of the building
may be utilized for outdoor eating, sales, entertainment or window shopping or where
protection from the sun and rain is desirable and appropriate: Awnings, canopies,
marquees and entryway covers projecting forward of the front plane of the building,
may encroach upon the right of way up to five (5) feet provided that the lowest element
of the overhang is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang may extend
up to the entire width of the facade. The encroachment must be approved in writing by
the Director and City Engineer.
2) In locations where the ground level use is residential awnings, canopies, marquees and
entryway covers over the stoop or entry feature projecting forward of the front plane
of the building may encroach upon the right of way up to five (5) feet provided that the
lowest element of the overhang is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The
overhang should extend no more than one foot on either side of the stoop or entry
feature. The encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City

Engineer.
3) For all uses on levels above the ground level balconies and balcony awnings, canopies,
or covers over the balconies projecting forward of the front plane of the building may
encroach upon the right of way up to three (3) feet provided that the lowest element of
the balcony or overhang is not less than eight (8) feet above grade. The overhang should
extend no more than one foot on either side of the window or door which it serves. The
encroachment must be approved in writing by the Director and City Engineer.
Regardless of the relationship to the front property line, in no event may upper level
balconies and associated awnings, canopies, or covers extend more than three (3) feet
from the face of the building.
C. Special Front Setback Provisions for Lots Located on a Green: Lots that front directly on
a green may have a zero front setback. Steps, stoops, ramps, buttresses, chimneys, cornices,
pilasters, bay windows and overhanging roofs, eaves, gutters, awnings, etc. 8 feet or more
above grade may extend beyond the front property line into the green up to two and a half
(2.5) feet.
D. Corner Lots in the Urban Zone: Corner lots in the urban zone will be considered to have
two fronts, one on each of the two intersecting streets. If, in the review of a site plan for a
structure on a corner lot, the City determines that a sightline for traffic visibility is
obstructed by the proposed structure, greater setbacks may be required. Detached accessory
garage structures require a three (3) foot exterior side setback to provide for adequate
turning radius, and access.
E. Corner Lots in the Neighborhood Zone:
1) Corner lots in the neighborhood zone that are served by an alley in the rear shall adhere
to the exterior side setback provisions for neighborhood lots provided, however, that
detached accessory garage structures accessed from the street rather than the alley
require a three (3) foot exterior side setback to provide for adequate turning radius, and
access.
2) Corner lots in the neighborhood zone that border a midblock side yard in the rear shall
maintain a five (5) foot rear setback and the exterior side setback shall be five (5)
feet for the rear thirty-five (35) feet of the lot. Additionally, the midblock lot to the
rear of the corner lot may maintain a front setback of seven and a half (7.5) feet.
F. Front Setback Uniformity: The front setbacks on lots where there is a transition from an
urban to a residential zone or where the front setbacks on lots in either zone are proposed
to be greater than the minimum permitted should be designed to maintain a uniform
transition. The difference in front setbacks on adjacent lots shall be five (5) feet. In and out
variations of front setbacks from lot to lot shall be avoided.
G. Alley Side Setbacks: If the side property line of a lot is adjacent to an alley, the minimum
setback from the alley right of way shall be three (3) feet for both principal buildings and
accessory structures.

H. Maximum Side Setbacks: Maximum side setbacks are necessary to maintain a consistency
in the scale and relationship of buildings within the development. Maximum interior side
setbacks must be maintained for a distance of twenty-five (25) feet from the front property
line but not less than ten (10) feet from the face of the building. The distance from the face
of the building may not be measured from the face of a porch, stoop, balcony, bay window
or other projection. Maximum exterior side setbacks must be maintained for not less than
fifty percent (50%) of the length of the structure. Any portion of the length of the side lot
line adjacent to a right of way shall be defined by a wall or fence not less than six (6) feet
high. The wall or fence may be penetrated by gates or driveways to parking areas.
I. Exceptions to Maximum Front and Side Setbacks on Urban Zone Lots: Maximum front
and side setbacks may be increased where the setback area is used for a plaza, parking
spaces, pocket park, or pedestrian amenity, and where the area can be programmed for
active use including outdoor restaurant seating, entertainment, a fountain or statuary,
outdoor seating, pedestrian connection to a parking area or other space intended for active
use. Such spaces are important to larger scale structures, civic structures, schools and
similar uses.
J. Setbacks in Urban Lots located in Phase B, Parcels C, K, G and H. Setbacks for Parcels
C, K, G and H within Phase B shall comply with NADC Table 3-3 - the Downtown Mixed
Use District setback requirements.
K. Height: Maximum building heights shall be as specified herein.
1) Maximum building height shall be fifty (50) feet in all phases except Phase B.
2) Maximum building height shall be four (4) stories not to exceed sixty (60) feet for
buildings in Phase B, with an exception for the hotel, mixed use building(s) located on
Parcel C of Phase B and Railroad Avenue ballpark outfield buildings which maximum
building height shall be eight (8) stories not to exceed ninety (90) feet.
3) The maximum height for civic buildings located in any phase is seventy (70) feet.
L. Design Guidelines: The design guidelines for the Riverside Village area and the blockfaces
on Railroad Avenue and Front Street within Phase B are based on and similar to the design
standards applicable to the Georgia Avenue Overlay District provided in the North Augusta
Development Code. These guidelines may be adjusted prior to inclusion in the revised
Hammond’s Ferry PD ordinance. Buildings constructed on lots with either a front or side
lot line adjacent to Center Street south of Railroad Avenue or on lots with either a front or
side lot line adjacent to Riverside Village shall adhere to the following standards:
1. Riverside Village: Buildings constructed on lots with either a front or side lot line
adjacent to Center Street south of Railroad Avenue or on lots with either a front or side
lot line adjacent to the Village area shall adhere to the following general development
standards:
a) Buildings should be located and designed so that they provide visual interest and
create enjoyable, human-scale spaces.
b) Key buildings should be designed to be compatible in form and proportion and
create a vista to the Greeneway and the Savannah River.
c) Buildings or groups of buildings should include a variety of forms, materials and

colors, while maintaining a unified appearance.
d) Buildings should include a richness of architectural detail to help define their
scale.
2. Frontage: There is no minimum or maximum frontage established in these guidelines.
However, buildings with large frontages are required to modulate their apparent facade
width in accordance with Section K.8 below. In the aggregate, not less than eighty-five
percent (85%) of the frontages and side lot lines shall be built to within three (3) feet
of the front property line.
3. Maximum and Minimum Height: The maximum height shall be as provided in Section
K above. The minimum height shall be twenty-four (24) feet measured from the center
of the front elevation to the eave or parapet. Exception: Certain retail buildings in
Phase B may have a minimum height of twelve (12) feet. In all cases, minimum height
is measured from the center of the front elevation to the eave or parapet.
4. Orientation: Buildings shall be oriented to the street. A building is oriented to the street
where:
a) The setback standards established in §3.8.4.4.1 of the NADC, are met;

accessible entries. The principal entry for a civic use or a civic building may include a
stoop, portico, colonnade or a portal.
6. Fenestration, Openings, and Storefronts: This section applies to all storefronts and
commercial frontages. Facades facing or visible from Riverside Village shall include
at least four (4) of the following elements:
a) A defined parapet wall;
b) A cornice adjoining the top of the roof or top of the facade;
c) Clerestory windows above the storefront windows for high single level spaces or
those with interior mezzanines;
d) Windows in each floor above the ground level. Upper level individual window

first and second floors of a building exceeding two stories, including molding, a
canopy, a transom or similar elements;
f) A recessed entryway where the floor area is not less than fifteen (15) square feet,
and door openings do not exceed six (6) feet horizontally and ten (10) feet
vertically. Overhead doors for loading docks, delivery and distribution shall be
permitted only on the rear of the building.
7. Windows: Between sixty percent (60%) and ninety percent (90%) of the length, and at
least fifty percent (50%) of the surface elevation of the first floor street frontage shall
be in transparent public entrances or windows including retail display windows.
Between ten percent (10%) and fifty percent (50%) of the surface of the front facade
of each floor above the first floor street frontage shall be in transparent windows. The
requirements in this section are applicable to all Phase B buildings except GreenJackets
Ballpark, the ballpark outfield building, and parking garage structures.
8. Building Modulation: Building frontages that face public streets and exceed a width of
twenty-four (24) feet must include vertical piers or other vertical visual elements to
break the plane of the building frontage. Such vertical piers or vertical elements must
be spaced at uniform or near uniform intervals of approximately twelve but no more
than twenty-four (24) feet along the entire building frontage. Vertical visual elements
may include entryways, windows, columns, colonnades or other form of modular
fenestration.
9. Entryways: Recessed entryways in accordance with 6.f above are permitted in order to
provide a sense of entry and to add variety to the streetscape.
10. Canopies: Canopies, awnings and similar appurtenances are encouraged at the
entrances to buildings and in open space areas.
11. Riverfront Park Blockfaces: All buildings on lots that front on Front Street and or
Riverfront Park from Preservation Park (to one (1) block east of Center Street shall
have a minimum height to the eave or parapet of twenty-four (24) feet.
12. Railroad Avenue Blockfaces: All buildings on lots that front on Railroad Avenue

parking is permitted in the Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development and may be
counted toward the required off-street parking for nonresidential and Phase B
residential uses.
c) Notwithstanding the provisions of the NADC, where City Council has entered into
a Master Parking Agreement (“MPA”), which may include off-site location,
number of spaces, etc., with the Phase B Developer or its assignee for any parcel
or parcels within Riverside Village and to the extent any conflicts arise between
the provisions of this Ordinance or the NADC and the provisions of such MPA,
the provisions of the MPA will control.
d) The number of parking spaces required shall be:
i. Two (2) per detached single-family dwelling plus .5 spaces per bedroom over 2
for Phase B only.
ii. Two (2) per attached single-family dwelling unit.
iii. One and one half (1.5) per multifamily dwelling unit.
iv. One (1) per four hundred (400) gross square feet of retail, commercial,
professional office and civic use; for Phase B, this parking requirement is
deemed met due to on-street parking and parking available in the parking decks
located on Parcel B and Parcel E of Phase B, as may be further provided for in
an MPA.
v. One half (1/2) per hotel room.
vi. Two (2) per assisted living room or one (1) per assisted living bed, whichever
is less.
vii. Parking required for assembly uses including churches, schools, sports
stadiums, conference facilities, etc. shall be provided off-street and determined
and approved at the time of site plan approval. The determination of required
parking may be referred to the Planning Commission.
viii. Except for Phase B and as provided in any MPA, parking required for detached
single-family residential uses shall be provided off-street and must be accessed
and must be accessed from an alley or street unless the lot is designed for side
street garage access or is a front loaded lot.
ix. Parking required for multifamily residential uses may be satisfied by available
parking spaces in the parking decks located on Parcel B and Parcel E of Phase
B, as may be further provided for in an MPA.
e) Parking required for nonresidential uses may include on-street parking where
available and shall be delineated adjacent to the frontage of property. Not more
than one-half (1/2) of the required parking may be provided on the street.
f) Delineated on-street parking spaces may include handicap spaces but may not be
used to provide required handicap spaces.
g) Trucks, boats, campers and trailers (collectively, recreational vehicles) shall be
parked in single-family residential rear yards or designated recreational vehicle
parking areas only. Designated recreational vehicle parking areas may be used only
by the owners or tenants of structures located on lots within the Hammond’s Ferry
Planned Development. Recreational vehicle parking areas should be located away
from major traffic and activity areas and screened from public view to the extent
practicable. Appropriate locations include within power line easements and on the
fringe of open space areas. As low turnover parking areas, designated recreational
vehicle parking areas shall be paved with an all-weather surface. A gravel surface

may be used provided drainage is adequately designed and maintained to prevent
fines from eroding into drainage ways and a twenty
(20) foot asphalt or concrete apron between the parking area and edge of pavement
in the public right of way is installed and maintained.
h) Unless provided separately in an MPA, as part of the application submittal for each
major subdivision plan, the Master Developer or its assignee shall prepare and
include an on-street parking management plan that identifies where on-street
parking will be located and what procedures will be utilized to manage the parking
to provide for continuous vehicular circulation, emergency vehicle access,
construction access, commercial deliveries and sanitation vehicle circulation.
i) Bicycle parking required for commercial uses may be included and shown on major
subdivision plan and site plan applications as provided for in the NADC.
18. Consistency with the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The existing and proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
19. Potentially required modifications to the Comprehensive Plan, variations from the
provisions of the Development Code or modifications to previously adopted plans or
ordinances necessary to approve the Planned Development General Development Plan.
No modifications to the Comprehensive Plan are needed. All variations from the provisions of the
Development Code are delineated in the PD Ordinance. The PD Ordinance, this Exhibit C, and
Exhibit D, the Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book, contain all necessary modifications and updates
associated with the original Hammond’s Ferry PD Ordinance, associated exhibits and plans.
20. Any proposed waivers from the requirements of this Chapter pursuant to §5.9, including
the proposed alternative standards and the justification for those standards.
The use and density in Hammond’s Ferry are consistent with the Mixed Use Classification in the
Future Land Use Element of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan and are appropriate for a Planned
Development. The approval of the Hammond’s Ferry Planned Development initially in 2002 was
prior to the existing Traditional Neighborhood Use Pattern authorized in the 2008 NADC. The
Traditional Neighborhood Development floating zone created in the 1996 Zoning and
Development Standards Ordinance did not meet the design objectives for Hammond’s Ferry. The
specific standards for the development of “urban” and “neighborhood” lots are different than the
lot standards in conventional zoning districts but one of the purposes of a Planned Development
district is to provide for alternative development types. The only waiver, if a waiver is necessary,
is a variation from the requirement of §3.6.1.6.6 of the NADC which specifies “in addition to the
requirements of Article 12, Parking, areas designated for parking shall be physically separated
from public streets and shall be designed in a manner conducive to safe ingress and egress. Access
points to internal public streets or internal circulation drives should be no more than three
hundred (300) feet apart.” This requirement is intended for planned commercial and multifamily
development of a more conventional nature. On-street parking to serve a portion of the commercial
parking requirement is consistent with traditional neighborhood development. Additionally,
smaller off-street parking areas which may provide or require access points less than 300 feet apart
are consistent with traditional neighborhood development.

HAMMOND’SFERRY – 1
INTRODUCTION
A profound fascination with and love of cities
drives architects, designers, engineers, builders,
developers, and visionaries to create. Special
places, whether real or imagined, never fail to
evoke the highest ideals of home, beauty, security,
creativity, and a sense of belonging while weaving
in the wholesomeness and mystery of nature. Great
cities like Venice, Bath, Lucca, Florence, and, clos-
er to home, Savannah and Charleston, fuse togeth-
er art, nature, architecture, and culture within a sin-
gle distinctive topos, blessing those lucky enough
to inhabit them and inspiring others to try to recre-
ate them.
We find ourselves in an age of the automobile and
the internet. The vision and promise of the city has
been heavily compromised and, in many places,
effectively eradicated. Our streets are deserted,
commercial strips having drained the soul of the
city into the littered parking lots and highways of
suburbia. Our proud citizenry, which once delight-
ed in building civic monuments and erecting public
works of art, is now seduced by the novelties of the
suburbs and the speed of the automobile even if it
is ultimately isolated by them. Much to our dismay,
we have found no paradise outside the city, no
honor, respect, or caring. Never before has the
landscape been under siege as it is today. Never
before have we experienced such dismal withdraw-
al from the city we once loved.
We desire to re-inhabit the city, a place of great
wealth and richness of people and aesthetics. We
desire to care for nature and acknowledge our part
in it. We desire to rediscover the art of city build-
ing. We believe that Hammond’s Ferry will be such
a place.
Building on the traditions of the grand city of
Augusta and continuing with Charles Boeckh’s
1891 master plan for a new city across the
Savannah River, we will not only create a place dis-
tinctive to the area, but we will also expand the cre-
ative process of city building into an expression of
our time. Following the example set by
Hammond’s Ferry, the City of North Augusta may
embrace its riverfront in a healthy and meaningful
manner and serve as a symbol of a renewed urban
America.
This Pattern Book provides an outline to reach our
goal. The following section on Building Typologies
discusses the elements of the city we hope to cre-
ate. This is followed by an overview of the region’s
history and the development of regional architec-
tural styles. Following that, Site and Architectural
design criteria and their respective submittal
requirements are listed. A bibliography may be
found at the end of this document.

BUILDINGTYPOLOGIES
Civic
Civic structures are not just objects in space but
objects that actively determine and dominate the
space around them, thereby signifying their impor-
tance to the community. Likewise, the surrounding
space often testifies to and extends the power of the
structure contained within it, as can be seen in the
town squares that surround courthouses, the ceme-
teries surrounding churches, and the green spaces
surrounding schools. Whether government build-
ings, schools, institutes, houses of worship, or com-
munity centers, civic structures are distinguished
by dramatic roofs, towers, or domes and by their
placement and positioning apart from commercial
or residential buildings, just as ancient Greek tem-
ples were set apart from the profane fabric of the
city. Waterworks, power substations, and bridges,
in spite of their utilitarian function, command the
same respect in the landscape as their more philo-
sophical counterparts.
Urban
The urban building type is exemplified by a multi-
tude of single-use and mixed-use buildings – resi-
dential, commercial, and professional comprising
the dominant uses. Unlike its civic counterpart that
stands alone, the urban building works together
with other like buildings to form outdoor civic
spaces and streets. The façade is frequently the
most prominent feature of these structures. Roofs
and towers are seldom emphasized. The building’s
façade functions in unison with adjacent façades
to compose and define the public space, with indi-
vidual examples never commanding sole attention
for themselves. In effect, such buildings resemble a
two-dimensional surface. The urban building is the
fabric of the town.
Neighborhood
Houses are the dominant building type in neighbor-
hoods. The street is defined as a space by walls and
fences that border the sidewalk system. The house
itself is positioned with a front yard that provides
separation from the public realm, inviting calm,
and providing a space for trees, flowers, and herbs
that testify to the domestic well-being of the owner.
Front porches, typical of the area, extend the living
space of the interior into the landscape and provide
a ritual element to entering and exiting the house
proper. Private backyards are screened from the
street with walls, fences, and ancillary structures.
Rear yards are formed by open spaces that integrate
domestic function with the outdoors.
The building typologies are highlighted on the Lot
Protocol Plan for Phase A shown on the next page.
The vast majority of the lots are classified as the
Neighborhood type. The Urban type is found along
major streets and intersections. And, as noted
above, the Civic type is reserved for prominent
locations, such as squares and at the end of major
axes. Specific lot protocols are noted and fully
described. These protocols include height require-
ments, setback specifics, and the placement of
ancillary buildings.

BUILDINGFORMS
Founded in 1736 by James Oglethorpe, the City of
Augusta, Georgia prospered from trade upon the
Savannah River, and served as a connection point
for raw goods from the Piedmont region to the port
city of Savannah. Early local buildings were most
likely single-room houses, or “pens,” influenced by
the building techniques of Elizabethan England,
native America, France, and Africa. These struc-
tures would probably have borne a resemblance to
the “pens” that dominated the Savannah urban cape
of the early 1700s, lining the street in military fash-
ion. Most often, the early wattle and daub houses
were flanked with gable-end chimneys. Even
today, one can see this simple, early form on the
east side of Augusta’s downtown and in such areas
as Edgefield, SC and rural Aiken County, SC.

BUILDINGFORMS
Houses grew by the simple addition of rear sheds,
or in geometric progression, doubling in width and
depth. As rooms doubled in depth, so did the num-
ber of chimneys, one for each room. Primitive lofts
became finished half-story spaces, with natural
light provided from gable windows and sometimes
dormer windows. Chimneys were always placed on
exterior walls, where the intense heat could be
more easily dispersed to the outside in warm
weather.
The need for protection from the intense summer
sun, adequate ventilation, and outdoor living
spaces resulted in the predominance of the porch, a
feature typical in all early domestic architecture.
Houses that were placed on raised basements to
optimize breezes had the additional advantage of
being flood-proof. As a result, porches became
much more desirable, positioned as they were
above the groundloving gnats and mosquitoes.
Urban buildings with retail establishments on the
ground floor, and offices and living quarters above,
mimicked the early domestic forms, with the front
basement wall replaced by a storefront and the
porch replaced with a full balcony.

The regional Augusta “look” –
that is, the effect resulting from
repetition of form – is related
to that found in nearby
Savannah, and has remote kin-
ship to many Southeastern
coastal and river-town proto-
types. This Pattern Book will
reinforce the town plan of
Hammond’s Ferry with struc-
tures that are particular to the
North Augusta and Augusta
region, as distinct from
Charleston or New Orleans.
The areas that form the tightest
fabric in the plan should be
executed with this “look” in
mind.
Hammond’s Ferry is the fulfill-
ment of Charles Boeckh’s city
plan of 1891. Seeking to con-
nect the City of North Augusta
with its riverfront, Mr. Boeckh
developed an urban scheme
featuring a series of parks and
avenues, with industrial devel-
opment located on the future
site of Hammond’s Ferry,
along the banks of the
Savannah River. At the time
Boeckh’s plan was conceived,
the area reserved for industry
was prone to periodic flooding.
Since the construction of the
New Savannah Bluff Dam in
1937 and the J. Strom
Thurmond Dam and Lake at
Clarks Hill in 1954, the water
level can be more carefully
monitored, allowing residential
and commercial uses to capi-
talize on this promising river
site.

Only today do we fully value the honesty and exot-
ic nature of unadorned Vernacular buildings.
Among art and architectural historians, these build-
ings have become prized possessions, much like
primitive American antiques and folk art. To the
early settlers, the pure forms must have represent-
ed hardship and served as a reminder that finer
things were out of their reach. Hence it was
inevitable that the “pure” Vernacular forms were
crossbred with prevalent fashions from Europe,
especially England.
The early nineteenth century witnessed the infusion
of influence from Rome, as the well-preserved
Roman town of Pompeii had recently been discov-
ered and excavated. Britain’s Robert Adam popu-
larized the colorful and delicate Roman decorative
motifs featuring slenderized classical columns, gar-
lands, acanthus leaves, fanlight windows, graceful
floating stairways and balconies, and surreal classi-
cal figures. The otherworldly decorative motifs
were paired with very plain building masses to
form the Adam Style, known in the United States as
the Federal Style. The austere building shapes so
fashionable in Europe easily translated the style
onto the Vernacular building forms of young
Augusta.
Greek architecture gradually gained favor over the
Federal, partly as an aesthetic reaction and, more
importantly, as a symbolic gesture to the democrat-
ic United States’ government for which ancient
Greece served as model. Austere and templelike,
the Greek Revival style suited the need for bold
expression.
Employed particularly in urban buildings, the
Italianate style became predominant, and is
expressed in opulent brickwork, Romanesque arch-
es, corbels, and cast-iron balconies. The style is
particularly rich when contrasted with the purity
of the Greek Revival period, and is well-represent-
ed in downtown Augusta.
The three-bay-wide “half house,” that is, a house
with a front hall with a parlor on one side only, is
of note in the downtown area. This mid-nineteenth-
century prototype is found in a multitude of styles
from Italianate to Second Empire and sometimes
features side wings set back from the façade. It is
not a Vernacular form, but recurs throughout the
Augusta downtown area.
Later forms and styles, while undoubtedly influ-
enced by local Vernacular prototypes, are actually
pan-American; that is, they can be seen in towns
and cities throughout the United States. Many fine
examples of these forms and styles exist in the cen-
tral downtown district of North Augusta.
While Hammond’s Ferry will emulate the atmos-
phere of historic neighborhoods, it will not be a
museum of historic styles. The styles described
below are products of their time, shaped by the
events and developments of their individual eras
and it would be inappropriate to duplicate them.
The aim is to capture the spirit of historical styles
and reflect them in modern materials and building
techniques. Hammond’s Ferry will be a product of
its own time, executed with traditional details,
forms and spaces.
Building Styles
While there is a considerable collection of histori-
cal styles typical to this region, the following
descriptions are not intended to limit design in
Hammond’s Ferry to specific styles. The Lot
Protocol Plan will limit uses of certain types to cer-
tain areas within Hammond’s Ferry. For example, it
would not be typical to find a Craftsman cottage
within a more traditional riverfront neighborhood.
Likewise, a large vernacular home would not be
typical in an urban neighborhood or a neighbor-
hood of bungalows. The Lot Protocol Plan will
limit certain styles based upon its form require-
ments. Consequently, should one be interested in a
specific historical style, they should first consult
the Lot Protocol Plan and the Riverfront Design
Committee about its appropriateness in a particular
neighborhood.

With origins in Elizabethan England and influences
in Native American and African American tradi-
tions, the Vernacular house in the South is the
essence of domestic simplicity. It is a powerful
building type, perhaps the most indigenous to
America. Dating from the arrival of the first set-
tlers, it was recycled into the fabric of later styles
and has never been fully abandoned.
Essential elements include simple saltbox masses
with additions and appendages. Almost without
exception, roofs are gabled, and the gables rarely
face the front. Shed roofs over full-length porches
or enclosed additions are common. Gable-end
chimneys are prominent. Windows are of similar
sizes, spaced in a balanced but not overly rigid
composition, and are generally non-ornamental.
Window spacing relating to room arrangement is
often independent of column or post spacing,
which relates to the porch structure. Modest stylis-
tic detailing is Federal and Greek Revival, with ele-
ments of Italianate and Carpenter Gothic. Ceiling
heights range from seven to ten feet. One-story
Vernacular cottages may have “travelers” rooms on
either side of a front porch, featuring ceilings as
low as seven feet. Frugality rules Vernacular archi-
tecture. Wood, horizontal lap siding; flush tongue
and groove plank siding under porches; wood-shin-
gle and standing-seam roofs; and brick and/or stone
chimneys are the typical features found in early
architecture. Later forms are sometimes roofed in
corrugated or 5-V galvanized metal.
Typical exterior colors for earlier buildings include
slate blue and earth tones such as terra cotta, taupe,
and brown. Later works are typically whitewashed.
Because Vernacular is not truly a style but a local
building tradition, it is never hybridized with nine-
teenth-century styles. Stylistic detailing is applied
to the building in a superficial manner.

The Federal or Adam style was prevalent in the
South from about 1780 through 1820, although in
provincial locations, its influence lasted until
around 1840. The style developed directly from
Classical Roman examples of antiquity rather than
Renaissance Europe. Young America identified
itself and its government with that of Republican
Rome, with a parallel movement occurring in
France. The refined ornament discovered in the
archaeological digs at Pompeii heavily influenced
the British architect Robert Adam in the develop-
ment of the new style. Architects such as William
Jay of Savannah further developed the style.
Simple, austere massing and Vernacular forms are
decorated with delicate classical detailing, fre-
quently featuring the Doric order with decorated
cornices, pedimented fenestration, fine modillions
and mutules under the cornice, and entrances with
fan lights and sidelights. In isolated locations,
chimneys are awkwardly domestic and prominent,
while in urban locations, they are minimally for-
malized. Exterior cladding materials are usually
clapboards but are sometimes fine brickwork with
cut jack arches and keystones. Classical detailing is
deliberately scaled down. Facades are intentionally
understated and plain. Emphasis is placed on the
frontispiece and on the fine tailoring of the build-
ing. Windows are large and regularly spaced.
Paint colors for siding, trim, and sashes are typical-
ly white, cream, and light grey with shutters being
tinted black. Wood-mold brick is in the red to earth
range.

Of the Romantic styles favored in the nineteenth
century, perhaps none was more popular than
Greek Revival. Dominant from about 1830 to 1860
in the South, the style symbolized the affinity
Americans felt with the ideals of Greek democracy.
The style was easy to construct in wood or mason-
ry due to its Spartan forms and details. Forms are
boxy with consistent cornice lines and low-pitched
gabled or hipped roofs. Gables can be side- or
front-facing. In the South, Greek detailing and full-
width front porticos are often married to Vernacular
forms, taking the form of a classical billboard,
which is one of the more charming aspects of this
region’s native architecture. Porches vary in promi-
nence, being either the fabled Southern full-width
two-story version or the less ostentatious one-story
version or even the smaller stoop variety, which is
equally dignified. Fenestration features include
rectangular sash and doors with bold, plain casings
and horizontal cornices. Chimneys, being non-
Classical, are thoroughly de-emphasized. Columns
that are always round in true Greek architecture are
usually simplified into square adaptations.
Classical details are large and bold as opposed to
the mild-mannered Adam Style, with wide, promi-
nent entablatures with Greek Doric columns being
the main hallmark of the style. When decoration is
desired, it is executed with Greek key fretwork,
carved anthemion, and egg-and-dart moldings.
Paint colors for siding and trim are typically white,
cream, and light grey with shutters tinted black.
Window sash are white or black. Wood-mold brick
is in the red to earth range.
Examples exist from the early twentieth century of
Greek Revival forms heavily influenced by the
Craftsman Style. They tend to take on the form and
detailing of Etruscan and Minoan temples with
their direct structural expression.

The Italianate style became popular in America
around 1840 and flourished especially rapidly in
the 1850s. As its name implies, the Renaissance
houses of Italy are its inspiration. The style is pic-
turesque or romantic as opposed to the more disci-
plined Adam Style and Greek Revival styles.
Broad, bracketed cornices on shallow hipped or
gabled roofs; attic windows; tall windows that are
frequently arched and clustered; iron balconies;
massive entrance doors; clustered porch columns;
Renaissance details; and tall ceilings are hallmarks
of this style. Facades may be symmetrical and
somewhat dignified, or asymmetrical, with a casu-
al, rural quality. Chimneys are usually internal to
the building mass.
In the South, there are many interpretations of the
style executed in wood, with Renaissance-style
ornament adapted to local skill levels. Some ver-
sions of this style are easy to construct, especially
if the building material is brick, for then fundamen-
tal masonry techniques are used such as full or seg-
mental arches, lintels, and loadbearing walls.
Paint colors for siding, trim, and sashes are typical-
ly earth tones with emphasis on browns, terra cot-
tas, and golds. Trim colors and sashes are usually
painted darker than the siding. Wood-mold brick is
in the red to earth range.

The Queen Anne Style dominated domestic
American architecture from about 1880 until 1900.
Popularized by the architect Richard Norman
Shaw, the style was a revival of late Medieval
styles in England. Indigenous versions of the style
usually translated into wooden-frame structures
decorated with turned spindlework and freeform
classicism, with columns, pediments, and similar
details being freely substituted for Medieval orna-
ment.
The movement was fueled in the New South by the
commerce generated by the cotton industry. The
buildings themselves are fanciful versions of
Medieval forms. Asymmetry was the general rule,
with steeply pitched roofs, front gables, and folk
ornament. As opposed to the academic Adam and
Greek Revival styles, there is a deliberate effort at
making the façade three dimensional, using pro-
jecting gables and cutaway bays. The new railroads
brought pre-made spindlework and bric-a-brac
ornament to almost every American town and city,
resulting in the proliferation of the quintessential
gingerbread house. Windows tended to be 1/1 or
2/2 with the occasional ornamental sash. Ceilings
were usually very tall, starting at 10’.
Colors were earthy—sage, taupe, amber, gold, and
brown. Trim and sashes were usually in the darker
spectrum of the palette.

Inspired by the
Centennial of 1876,
the Colonial Revival
thrived due to
America’s affection
for its colonial past, as
exemplified by the
English and Dutch
houses of the Atlantic
Seaboard. In part a
reaction to the excess-
es of Victorian archi-
tecture, Colonial
forms include simple
saltbox massing, L-
configurations, cat-
slide roofs, and ver-
nacular elements.
Wings and additions often are subordinate in scale
to the primary mass of the structure. Rooms are
usually larger than their authentic Colonial prede-
cessors and are graciously accommodating.
Façades may contain front-facing gables treated in
a decorative manner. Roof forms vary, and range
from steep Georgian types, shallow Classical types,
hips, hipped gables, gambrels, cat-slides, and
Southern Vernacular types. Dormers are common
features. Beautiful chimneys centered on gable
ends terminate rooflines. Full front porches are fre-
quently seen, but not as often as side porches and
trellises, which often take on the quality of outdoor
rooms. Ceiling heights are always generous.
Windows are larger than the historic prototypes of
early years – Americans were not about to give up
the light to which they had become accustomed in
the Victorian period. Refined stylistic detailing
includes Colloquial, Georgian, Federal, Regency,
and Classical Revival elements such as columns
and pilasters, fretwork railings, entablatures, broad
casings, story courses, and bas-relief. Exteriors are
finished in wood-shingle siding, mitered lap siding,
wood mold brick, and worked stone. Roofs are
slate, wood shingle, French tile, and standing seam
metal.
Some Colonial Revival buildings are quite decora-
tive with Classical appliqué featuring urns, gar-
lands, and grotesques. Other Colonial Revival
buildings are hybridized with the Craftsman style
and feature straightforward construction detailing
such as out-lookers supporting broad eaves, plain
Tuscan columns with no base or capital necking
details, and post-and-beam casings.
Not all Colonial Revival houses are so freely adapt-
ed from various sources. Austere, authentic exam-
ples exist that are almost indistinguishable from
their antecedents, leaving one to ponder their con-
struction date. James Means, a twentieth century
Atlanta architect, designed Plantation Plain houses
across the state of Georgia with great sophistica-
tion, while his colleagues Neel Reid and Philip
Trammell Shutze designed inventive and decora-
tive homes that stand at the apex of Southern style.
The typical exterior siding, trim, and sash colors of
Colonial Revival houses are white, bone, and
cream, with dark green or black shutters and the
occasional red door. Wood shingles are natural,
stained grey or Jacobean brown. Smooth wood-
mold brick in the red to earth range, and occasion-
ally, buff to taupe range is complemented with
grapevine or lightly raked mortar joints. Stone is
coursed or random and features flush, raised bead,
or lightly raked mortar joints.

Beginning at the turn of the century, Americans
were increasingly disillusioned with the mass pro-
duction and fakery of ornament promoted by the
Industrial Revolution, and began to seek out
designs that were honest and handcrafted. Inspired
by the English Arts and Crafts movement that
began around 1860, the population developed a
conscious taste for natural materials, perhaps for
the first time in history. Natural stone, weathered
timbers, hand-blown glass, hand-forged ironwork,
handmade brick, polished built-in cabinetry, and
copper light fixtures were used to create a new
architecture that was harmonious with nature.
Buildings seemed to grow out of their respective
sites and reflected the landscape in innovative
forms. Many individual works were particularly
influenced by Japanese design that focused on
expression of structure, a love of materials, and
restrained ornament.
Asymmetry of form is a general given in the
Craftsman style, with broad rooflines and exposed
eaves being supported by cantilevers and simple
brackets. Exposed outlookers are commonly cut in
decorative shapes, or left self-consciously square-
edged. Porches are horizontal in orientation, and
feature battered stone and brick pier supports,
heavy posts, and Tuscan columns free of necking
rings and bases. Porches are often forsaken in favor
of trellises and pergolas.
Interior spaces are extended to the outdoors, and
the boundaries blurred by utilizing French doors,
terraces, and steps that resemble cascades and lava
flows. Windows are double-hung, casement, or
novelty. Multi-panes over plate glass, picture win-
dows, ribbon or ganged windows, and inventive
geometric patterns are characteristic of the style.
Doors are plank, horizontal paneled, French, or fea-
ture a high window, sometimes with a ledge. Siding
materials include wood shingles often with undu-
lating lines that mimic the flow of a river; horizon-
tal lap siding that is corner mitered, stone, and
handmade brick. Colors tend to be natural--sage
green, taupe, and soft grey. Window sashes are
mostly dark neutrals.

Popular from the late 1800s through the 1920s, the
Villa or Italian Renaissance Revival was inspired
by the palazzos and country villas seen in areas sur-
rounding such cities as Florence, Venice, and
Rome. The style was freely adapted to American
tastes, and features shallow hipped roofs, many
times with hyper-extended cornices with exposed
out-lookers, paired brackets, and modillions. The
building form tends to be straightforward in its
simplicity with emphasis placed on rather academ-
ic detailing. The horizontal is emphasized with
deep shadow lines formed by the cornice and broad
terraces.
A symmetrical center mass often features door and
window placements that are not symmetrical,
reflecting the function of the individual room to
which they relate. Paired arches, Palladian win-
dows, ornate ironwork, and mosaics are common
features of the style. Porches are usually colonnad-
ed or arcaded, or are loggia types, possessing an
outdoor room quality. The Classical orders, espe-
cially the Tuscan and the Corinthian orders, are
employed extensively.
Frontispieces are composed using arches, cut-stone
surrounds, pilasters, and entablatures. Doors are
French, plank, or ornately paneled. Windows are
doublehung or casement, with or without horizon-
tal planked or louvered shutters. Exteriors are ren-
dered in brick, stone, or stucco. Roofs are clay bar-
rel tile. Colors are always neutral and earth-toned
with black iron accents. Window sashes are often
dark or sage green.
The styles listed above represent only a portion of
those found in the Central Savannah River Area.
The ultimate goal of Hammond’s Ferry is to look to
these styles for inspiration, not replication. Styles
were frequently hybridized by accomplished archi-
tects and designers and some neighborhoods con-
tain examples whose styles are barely discernable.
For example, a Tudor Revival house may be
designed using detailing more common to the
Craftsman Style, or a Bungalow infused with the
spirit of an alpine villa.
As architectural styles evolved between 1741 and
1930, their hybridization was commonplace. Old
styles slowly gave way to new styles with stylistic
blends occurring between the maturation of pure or
high-style forms. This slow evolution of styles was
abandoned with the advance of Modern architec-
ture in the early 20th Century. Successful new
towns create their own identity by picking up this
process where it left off.

SITECONSIDERATIONS
site considerations
General
Like Savannah and Charleston, Hammond’s Ferry
will feature luxurious hedges, vines, canopy trees,
herbs, and perennials. Street trees are required per
the planting plan. Urban buildings will serve as a
backdrop for vertical gardens with cascading vines
trained on balconies, and neighborhoods will be
nestled into the vegetation.
Special care should be taken to “carve” outdoor liv-
ing spaces into rear courtyards. Plant varieties
should diminish in scale and leaf size in areas
meant to be used regularly such as terraces, door-
ways, and stepping stones. Outdoor spaces must be
furnished appropriately to maximize the pleasure
of the outdoors, including pools and lounge furni-
ture in private spaces, or decorative masks and urns
at formal front entrances. Pavement details and
curbs form the “trim” for any outdoor space.
Furnishings may be made of wood, stone, iron, alu-
minum, or twigs and must complement the out-
doors. Any furnishing should age with grace and
the use of plastic or foam pottery and plastic furni-
ture is discouraged.
Hardscapes, including terraces, walkways, steps,
and driveways, must be formed of gravel, stone
cobbles, brick pavers, authentic stepping stones, or
other appropriate surface materials. Concrete that
is scored in a decorative pattern, such as a running
bond, is allowed only for the rear driveway.
Asphalt is prohibited.
Storm water drainage from all buildings must be
carefully considered, otherwise, moisture will
become a problem. Grades should slope toward
streets and alleys, never toward adjacent properties.
Walls and/or fences are required on all frontages
including alleys. The design should follow suit
with the architecture. Walls are excellent contain-
ment devices, defining the street and supporting the
idea of private outdoor living spaces. Grade
changes, especially at the street are beautifully
addressed by the use of retaining walls, creating
drama and separation in very small areas. A sloping
front yard is unappealing and unused; a level yard
that is elevated above the street is useful, attractive,
and a showcase for cascading plants.
Great care should be taken to provide service yards
for meters, condensers, compost piles, and trash
receptacles. These areas shall be screened from
view with opaque fencing or with vegetation.

Neighborhood Zone
The neighborhood site plan will consist of the pri-
mary dwelling, ancillary buildings, and parking
areas or structures. The dwelling will generally be
positioned at the front setback line. Where a side
street occurs, the dwelling must be set back 6” from
the property line and/or sidewalk. Garages are posi-
tioned 3’-0” from the rear property line with doors
facing the lane.
An essential element of the primary structure is the
front porch. If required by the Protocol Plan, the
front porch must occupy a minimum of 75% of the
front façade width and must be 8’ to 12’ in depth.
A continuous fence or wall must be erected on all
road and lane frontages. The height of the wall or
fence will be between 18” and 42” at the sidewalk
and 60” at the lane.

Urban Zone
The urban site plan will consist of the primary
building structure positioned 30” from the edge of
the sidewalk and 6” from a secondary side street
(where applicable). Interior side-yard setbacks are
5'-0". Rear ancillary buildings are encouraged. A
continuous wall should contain the site fully on
street and alley frontages with a minimum height of
60” and a maximum height of 96”. Driveway
entrances and walkway paths shall be gated at the
lot line.
The wall and gates should be conceived of, and
designed congruously with, the primary structure.
A balcony projecting 36” to 60” is encouraged on
the front façade. The balcony width should be 85%
to 100% of the façade width. A side balcony should
be considered where corner conditions occur at
minor streets.

ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA
Outlined on the following pages are architectural
components, specifications, and finishes included
in the Hammond’s Ferry Design Code. The primary
objective is to promote consistent quality for the
benefit of the entire community, ensuring aesthetics
and lasting value. These specifications will serve as
a guideline for all design and construction at
Hammond’s Ferry. The Lot Protocol Plan offers
specific design requirements for each Lot. Please
consult Building Techniques in the following sec-
tions for proper composition of details. It is the
responsibility of each designer and builder to
ensure that submitted plans meet the appropriate
Local, State and National Building Codes. In cases
where a conflict exists, building codes overrule
these Guidelines. The Hammond's Ferry Design
Review Committee (DRC) must approve design
changes that result from Code compliance issues.
Hammond’s Ferry encourages designers, builders,
and laypersons to produce work that is in the spirit
of the Guidelines. If a product not found in the
specifications appears to be suitable for a desired
result, is more cost effective, requires less mainte-
nance, or is less destructive to the environment, it
may be submitted to the DRC for consideration.
The DRC has the authority to approve such prod-
ucts on a case-by-case basis. Consistency in the
architectural approval process is a goal; however, it
is not always achievable due to evolving conditions
in the development and construction fields. This
guideline will be revised and updated on a regular
basis as new technologies emerge and the commu-
nity develops.

SUBMITTALREQUIREMENTS
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Hammond’s Ferry offers a number of tools which
serve to assist the design process. Before initiating
a new design, applicants are encouraged to consult
the Hammond’s Ferry Design Code, which consists
of the Pattern Book, as well as the Lot Protocol
Plan and Riverfront Code. All design work must be
executed by capable designers and architects who
will be responsible for the following requirements:
Designs should demonstrate specific care of the
environment and attention to sustainability. It is
expected that drawings will be hard-lined, drawn to
scale, professionally submitted, and thoughtfully
and creatively conceived.
Pre-design meeting
A pre-design meeting should be coordinated
between the designer or architect and Manager of
Architecture and Design prior to beginning prelim-
inary drawings. This will ensure clear understand-
ing of the design challenges by all parties.
Conceptual Review
The initial Concept Review is intended to provide
the Design Review Committee with a broad, gener-
al picture of a proposed design's layout and form.
The Concept Review is not optional, but there are
no official submittal requirements. The Committee
will be able to provide more direction and feedback
if they are provided with as much conceptual infor-
mation as possible. During this first phase of
review, the Manager of Architecture will meet to
review submissions. At this time it is not necessary
for the designer/builder to meet with a Hammond’s
Ferry representative. Please submit schematics of
your proposal to clearly illustrate intent, including
elevations, site plan and floor plans. After review,
you will be contacted with further direction.
Recommended submittal materials include:
___Photographs and clippings that serve as the
design inspiration
___Proposed Floor Plans
___Proposed Elevations
___Conceptual site plan conveying design intentions
Preliminary Review
This phase includes a review of design develop-
ment drawings (see required documentation below)
and compliance with the Pattern Book Code. At this
time, the designer/builder will meet with the
Design Review Committee for a redlining session.
The homeowner may be included. A half set and
full set of drawings must be available at this review.
This working session will allow for direct dialog on
compliance and design issues.

ABOUTTHEAUTHOR
Originally from the Southwest Georgia/North
Florida area, Lew Oliver was influenced early by
the indigenous and Greek Revival architecture that
was found in the rural countryside. His passion for
architecture spread to other styles and cultural
influences, especially to that of the Classical world.
Oliver attended the School of Architecture at The
Georgia Institute of Technology, working in the
trade until graduating in 1984. He became the lead
designer for the Kessler Enterprise, Inc., facilitat-
ing and overseeing bank, hotel, commercial, and
residential developments. Later Oliver began a
freelance career, specializing in residential archi-
tecture and developing a passion for New-
Urbanism.
He now serves as Town Architect/Designer for
Vickery in North Atlanta, Clark's Grove in
Covington Georgia, and Serenbe in Southwest
Atlanta. Oliver is active in planning large scale
residential communities and developing urban
codes for various traditional neighborhood proj-
ects. He is an active member of the New Urban
Guild, and participates in charettes conducted by
Andres Duany and Steve Mouzan.

Phase B Design Guidelines
Page 1 of 2
Overview
This document has been prepared to establish guidelines applicable to the design review of Phase B of
Hammond’s Ferry, The aim of these guidelines is to direct the development of Phase B so that it will be
designed in the spirit of the existing neighborhood, which is governed by the Hammond’s Ferry Pattern
Book.
All lots and parcels in Phase B fall under the “Urban Building” category described on page 3 of the
Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book:
The urban building type is exemplified by a multitude of single-use and mixed-use
building – residential, commercial and professional comprising the dominant uses.
Unlike the Civic building that stands alone, the urban building works together with other
like buildings to form outdoor civic spaces and streets. The facade is frequently the most
prominent feather of these structures. Roofs and towers are seldom emphasized. The
building’s facade functions in unison with adjacent facades to compose and define the
public space, with individual examples never commanding sole attention for themselves.
In effect, such buildings resemble a two-dimensional surface. The urban building is the
fabric of the town.
As stated in the Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book, the Hammond’s Ferry Design Review Committee
(DRC) encourages designers and builders to produce work that is in the spirit of those guidelines. If a
product not found in the specifications appears to be suitable for a desired result, is more cost effective,
requires less maintenance, or is less destructive to the environment, it may be submitted to the DRC for
consideration. The DRC has the authority to approve such products on a case-by-case basis.
Street Design
Street design in Phase B will be guided by the following principles:
The design will reflect streets that are pedestrian-oriented.
The buildings on each side of the street should create a sense of enclosure and connection
between facades.
Special care will be taken to enhance pedestrian crosswalk orientation for the safety of motorists
and pedestrians.
Restaurant and retail elements will be extended through use of sidewalk seating, where feasible,
and sidewalk displays.

Phase B Design Guidelines
Page 2 of 2
Parallel parking is preferred, but the limited use of diagonal and perpendicular spaces, may be
utilized to better satisfy the mixed-use and special needs of the district.
Center Street (within Phase B) will be designed to create a vista to the City Greeneway and
Savannah River. It will have the potential to accommodate large public events, but shall also
address the goal of creating an attractive Main Street environment that encourages everyday use
and enjoyment by pedestrians.
Street trees and landscaping will be installed in a similar fashion as the existing neighborhood of
Hammond’s Ferry and will include approved native species and adequate caliper size per the
North Augusta Development Code and Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book requirements.
Building Design
Building design should adhere to the scale and proportion of traditional buildings in the North Augusta
and Augusta region where feasible. For buildings larger than other traditional buildings in the region,
special consideration will be taken during the design and review process.
Exterior Materials
The materials specified in the Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book have been found to work well in this
climate and age gracefully over time. Permissible materials and configurations can be found on page 30
of the Hammond’s Ferry Pattern Book. Exceptions or additions to this list will be considered on a case-
by-case basis by the DRC.
Design Submittal Requirements

PLAT FOR HAMMOND’S FERRY BALLPARK VILLAGE, PHASE B IN THE CITY
OF NORTH AUGUSTA
WHEREAS, the City of North Augusta has received an application requesting the
abandonment of Wanninger Run right-of-way and is proceeding in accordance of
§5-27-150 of the South Carolina Code of Laws as amended; and
WHEREAS, at its regularly scheduled meeting of March 20, 2024, the North
Augusta Planning Commission considered the request of the City of North Augusta, for

ORDINANCE NO. 2024-08
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A DEVELOPMENT
INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT; AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING
THERETO
BE IT ORDAINED, by the Mayor and City Council of the City of North Augusta
(the “City Council”), the governing body of the City of North Augusta, South Carolina (the
“City”), in a meeting duly assembled as follows:
Section 1 Findings of Fact. The City Council hereby makes the following
findings of fact in connection with the enactment of this ordinance (this “Ordinance”):
1. The City is a municipal corporation of the State of South Carolina (the “State”)
and as such possesses all general powers granted by the constitution and statutes of the State
to such public entities, including the power to expend public funds for public purposes.
2. Greenstone Hammond’s Ferry, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability
company (the “Master Developer”), Ackerman Greenstone North Augusta, LLC (the “Hotel
Developer”), GreenJackets Baseball LLC, and the City entered into that certain Master
Development Agreement dated March 15, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Master
Development Agreement”) and subsequently the Master Developer and certain Owners (as
defined in the Master Development Agreement) entered into amendments thereto, effective
March 15, 2022 and effective March 15, 2023, in each case extending the term of the Master
Development Agreement by one year, and effective March 15, 2024, extending the term of
the Master Development Agreement by sixty (60) days.
3. The Master Development Agreement was originally entered into for the
purposes of (i) establishing the terms under which (a) the City would deliver or cause to be
delivered the City Projects and the Non-Greenstone Private Capital Investment, (b) the Master
Developer would deliver or cause to be delivered the Greenstone Projects and the Greenstone
Capital Investment, and (c) the Hotel Developer would deliver or cause to be delivered the
Hotel, and (ii) describing the relationships among the various parties in connection with
developing the Property pursuant to the Master Plan. All capitalized terms used in this
Ordinance shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Development Agreement
unless otherwise expressly provided herein.
4. Under the Master Development Agreement, the City designated the Master
Developer as master developer for a mixed-use project in North Augusta, South Carolina
known as “Riverside Village” (formerly Ballpark Village), which project is generally known
as Phase B of the General Development Plan (as defined in the Master Development
Agreement), the detail of which is shown on Exhibit B-2 to the Master Development
Agreement and also shown on the Master Plan attached to the Master Development
Agreement as Exhibit C.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 1 of 52

5. The City Projects, the Hotel, and several of the Greenstone Projects have been
completed; however, not all of the elements of the Master Plan have been completed and the
Master Developer desires to extend the Term of the Master Development Agreement to
provide additional time to complete the Master Plan.
6. Over time, in recognition of changing conditions, unanticipated fluctuations in
the real estate development industry and, more generally, the economy, the change in general
development regulations, and certain prior modifications to the General Development Plan,
the General Development Plan has undergone significant changes. Consequently, the North
Augusta Planning Commission has received a joint application (the “Joint Application for
Revision of GDP”) from the City, the Master Developer and SCP Acquisitions, LLC (“SCP
Acquisitions”), an affiliate of South City Partners (“SCP”), which is under contract to
purchase certain parcels within Phase B of the General Development Plan in a proposed joint
venture with the Master Developer, requesting approval for a revised General Development
Plan, with such requested revisions relating solely to those portions designated as Phase B of
the General Development Plan, and such revisions constitute a Major Modification under (and
as defined in) the General Development Plan requiring the approval of the North Augusta
Planning Commission and approval by ordinance of the North Augusta City Council.
7. The North Augusta Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on March 20,
2024, considered the Joint Application for Revision of GDP and voted 4-2 to recommend to
North Augusta City Council that it approve by ordinance the Joint Application for Revision
of GDP and, as a result, the North Augusta City Council [is considering the enactment of]
Ordinance No. 2024-06 approving the revised General Development Plan (the “Revised
General Development Plan Ordinance”).
8. Further, due to changes in market conditions, the current interest rate
environment, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, the Master
Developer has determined that (i) certain elements of the Master Plan, as originally proposed,
require modification, and (ii) certain inducements, in the form of grants, are necessary to
catalyze further development of certain remaining undeveloped Parcels.
9. Therefore, the Master Developer (i) desires to revise the Master Plan with
respect to certain of the Parcels, including making certain changes to the planned use or uses
of certain Parcels and updating the status of certain projects described in the Master
Development Agreement, and (ii) has requested that the City and certain Owners enter into
an amendment to the Master Development Agreement for the purpose of extending the Term
and making certain amendments and modifications to the Master Development Agreement
and the Master Plan, all subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in (a) that certain
Fourth Amendment to Master Development Agreement to be dated on or about May 13, 2024
among the Master Developer, certain other Owners, and the City, the form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Fourth Amendment to MDA”) and (b) the Development
Inducement Agreement (herein defined).
10. Upon the enactment of the Revised General Development Plan Ordinance and
this Ordinance and the execution of the Fourth Amendment to MDA, Phase B of the General
Development Plan generally as shown on Exhibit B-2 to the Master Development Agreement
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 2 of 52
3
and on the Master Plan attached as Exhibit C to the Master Development Agreement shall be
revised to be as shown on Exhibit C-1, as supplemented by Exhibit C-2, both as attached to
the Fourth Amendment to MDA (the “Revised Riverside Village Master Plan”), all subject
to the terms and conditions of the Master Development Agreement.
11. The Master Developer and/or the certain Owners who are party to the Fourth
Amendment to MDA (together, the “Developer Parties”) are, as applicable, the owners of
certain parcels of the Property consisting of approximately six acres and identified on the
Revised Riverside Village Master Plan as Parcels C, D, G, H, I and K (the “Phase B Parcels”)
located in the City, all of which parcels are as shown on the Revised Riverside Village Master
Plan.
12. The Master Developer has confirmed to the City its intention to partner with
SCP (through SCP Acquisitions) to develop Parcels C, G, H and K (which constitute the
substantial majority of the Phase B Parcels by number and land area) and to complete the
Phase B Projects (as defined herein). The Master Developer and SCP have confirmed to the
City that SCP will be the majority owner and managing partner of SCP Acquisitions and that
SCP Acquisitions is expected to acquire through an existing purchase contract Parcels C, G,
H and K and will become a Developer Party pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master
Development Agreement and a Mixed-Use Developer under and as defined in the
Development Inducement Agreement. The City has, through its diligence review, confirmed
that SCP has a record of success and the experience, expertise, personnel, and resources
necessary to properly coordinate all development and construction activities reasonably
required for the successful completion of the applicable Phase B Projects. Based on SCP’s
experience and expertise in developing projects similar to the Phase B Projects, its proposed
leadership role in the development of the applicable Phase B Parcels is a significant benefit to
the City and an important consideration in connection with the execution and delivery by the
City of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the Development Inducement Agreement.
13. The Developer Parties intend to construct a mixture of development uses on
the Phase B Parcels, thus continuing the mixed-use development plan contemplated in the
original master plan for Riverside Village, and such development uses on the Phase B Parcels
will consist of multifamily and single family residential, retail, and other uses (the “Phase B
Projects”), generally as shown on the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan, subject to
approval by the City of the modifications to the Master Plan and the inducements referenced
in paragraphs 8 and 9 above and provided in the Development Inducement Agreement.
14. The Phase B Projects are consistent with the General Development Plan (as
revised pursuant to the Revised General Development Plan Ordinance) and with current land
use regulations of the City, which include the Hammond’s Ferry Code.
15. The City Council, after performing its initial due diligence, has determined that
the development of the Phase B Parcels and the construction of the Phase B Projects according
to the Master Development Agreement, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to MDA, and
the Development Inducement Agreement, is consistent with the City’s plans for growth and
development in the Riverside Village development and in the City’s downtown, more
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 3 of 52

generally, and that the completion of the Phase B Projects by the applicable Developer Parties
will give rise to the following benefits for the City:
(i) benefit the general public welfare of the City by providing for additional and
more diverse housing options1 and related parking;
(ii) increase commercial and economic activity and visitation to the Riverside
Village area;
(iii) continue and complete the revitalization and redevelopment of the Riverside
Village area and the alleviation of the blighted conditions therein2, which constitute a
significant priorities for the City and fulfill a public purpose;
(iv) enhance the aesthetics of the Riverside Village development by developing and
improving the currently vacant Phase B Parcels and buttress the City’s infrastructure by
adding or improving sidewalks and walkways, landscaping, streetscaping, and lighting as part
of the Phase B Projects;
(v) significantly increase the City’s ad valorem tax revenues from the Phase B
Parcels that support previously issued tax increment revenue obligations of the City;
(vi) increase utility revenues in the City;
(vii) increase business license revenues for the City;
(viii) promote occupancy, increased jobs and investment in the existing Riverside
Village development; and
(ix) based on the proposed retail development to be included in certain Phase B
Projects, increase sales tax revenues (particularly local hospitality tax revenues, where
applicable) and provide services not currently or adequately provided within the City at this
time.
16. The City Council has determined further that the inducement of the
development of the Phase B Projects within the Riverside Village area of the City is of
paramount importance and, after considering all available options and the fact that the Phase
B Parcels have remained vacant since the inception of Riverside Village despite significant
public investment to catalyze development, the value of the tangible and intangible benefits
of the Phase B Projects to the public (as described above) is significantly greater than the cost
to the City to induce the development of the Phase B Projects. Furthermore, the Grants (as
1 As provided in the City’s 2021 Comprehensive Plan, the City looks to “[p]rovide many different housing types
to attract and retain the citizen population…continue to enhance neighborhoods with a more diverse mixture of
housing types, pedestrian and multimodal facilities, open spaces, and walkable mixed uses [to] strengthen North
Augusta as a choice for future residents…and incentivize a variety of housing types at higher densities,
including multifamily, courtyard apartments…especially near Downtown and activity centers.
2 See Ordinance 2013-19 enacted by the City Council of the City on November 18, 2013, and making certain
blight findings in connection with certain amendments to the Redevelopment Plan of the City.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 4 of 52

defined herein) are structured such that the Phase B Projects will be substantially completed
prior to the payment of any such Grants, thereby mitigating risks that the benefits to the City
will be speculative. Based on the foregoing, the City has determined that such purposes to be
accomplished by the Phase B Projects are proper governmental and public purposes and the
City has evaluated the Phase B Projects considering all relevant and required factors,
including, but not limited to, the anticipated dollar amount and nature of the investment to be
made, the anticipated costs and benefits to the City, the mitigation of risks to the City, and all
other criteria deemed appropriate by City Council or prescribed by law.
17. The City Council finds that the Phase B Projects, if successful, will serve as a
catalyst to further growth and development in the City, to increase tourism, to enhance quality
of life, and to promote community vitality. As such, the City, consistent with the General
Development Plan (as revised pursuant to the Revised General Development Plan Ordinance),
seeks to offer certain grants to the Developer Parties to induce the development of the Phase
B Projects.
18. The inducements offered by the City consist of grants (collectively referred to
herein as the “Grants”) and are set forth in greater detail in a Development Inducement
Agreement by and among the Developer Parties and the City (the “Development Inducement
Agreement”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The City Council is enacting
this Ordinance in order to evidence the City Council’s approval of the Phase B Projects and
the provision of the Grants under the terms of the Development Inducement Agreement.
19. In keeping with the foregoing, the City Council has determined to enact this
Ordinance to authorize the execution and delivery of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the
Development Inducement Agreement.
Section 2 Compliance with the Byrd Test. The City is mindful of and has
considered the requirements of Nichols v. South Carolina Research Authority, 290 S.C. 415,
351 S.E.2d 155 (1986) and WDW Properties v. City of Sumter, 342 S.C. 6, 535 S.E.2d 631
(2000) (the “Byrd Test”), wherein public purpose of the proposed incentives is determined by
the following four-part test:
(i) what is the ultimate goal or benefit to the public intended by the project;
(ii) are public parties or private parties the primary beneficiaries;
(iii) is the benefit to the public speculative; and
(iv) what is the probability that public interest shall be served and to what degree.
The City hereby makes the following findings in connection with the Byrd Test as follows:
(1) Ultimate Goal or Benefit to Public. The ultimate goal of the Grants is
to induce the completion of the development of the final developable parcels of
Riverside Village, which is the largest public and private investment in the City’s
history and which was significantly delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The benefits
to the public expected to be realized through the achievement of this goal are those
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 5 of 52
6
listed in Section 1(15) of this Ordinance. The City Council specifically finds that
completion of the Phase B Projects and the full development of Riverside Village will
provide an assemblage of effects not currently present by enhancing the density of
economic development activity in Riverside Village. The City has therefore applied
the standards in Nichols to the Phase B Projects and has determined that prong (1) of
the Byrd Test is satisfied.
(2) Public is the Ultimate Beneficiary. The City finds that while
recognizing that the provision of incentives to the Developer Parties has some benefit
to these parties, the aggregate value of the tangible and intangible benefits to be
derived by the completion of development of Riverside Village, as described in
Section 1(15) of this Ordinance, is greater than the value of the Grants. The City has
therefore applied the standards in Nichols to the Phase B Projects and finds that prong
(2) of the Byrd Test is satisfied.
(3) Project is Not Speculative. The Grants to be provided by the City
consist of grants equating to the payment by Developer Parties of certain permit and
other fees and other funding, all in an amount not to exceed $1,450,000, as provided
in the Development Inducement Agreement, in order to induce the Developer Parties
to complete the Phase B Projects, which are the last projects to be completed as part
of the larger Riverside Village project that is partially complete and operating, and
provides housing, hospitality, recreation, and commercial activity for thousands of
citizens each year. Because the Grants will not be provided until the Developer Parties
have fully performed their obligations under the Development Inducement
Agreement, the expenditure of public funds will not in any sense defray the costs of a
speculative project, both because the overall project is no longer speculative and
because the Grants will not flow to the Phase B Projects until they are no longer
speculative in any sense, but are complete. The City has therefore applied the standards
in Nichols to the Phase B Projects and has determined that prong (3) of the Byrd Test
is satisfied.
(4) Probability that the Public will Ultimately be Served. The City and its
citizens will receive certain tangible and intangible benefits in relation to the Phase B
Projects, as more fully described in Paragraph 15 of Section 1 of this Ordinance, which
is a direct and substantial benefit to the City upon the completion of the Phase B
Projects and exceeds the benefits received by private developers from the Grants. Prior
to making any Grant payments to the Developer Parties under the Development
Inducement Agreement, the Developer Parties must satisfy certain conditions,
including the completion of the applicable Phase B Projects and presentation of a
Certificate of Occupancy therefor, assuring, or at least substantially mitigating the risk,
that the City’s investment in the Phase B Projects is protected in the event that any of
the Phase B Projects is not successful. Additionally, the Phase B Projects proposed by
the Developer Parties, while certainly involving risk, carry with them certain
assurances of success to the City because the Developer Parties have a proven ability
to develop other successful projects within and outside of the State in an economically
feasible manner. Moreover, as noted in Paragraph 12 of Section 1 of this Ordinance,
the Master Developer has informed the City and the City has confirmed that the
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 6 of 52
7
development of the substantial majority of the Phase B Parcels and construction of a
substantial majority of the Phase B Projects will be undertaken by a SCP Acquisitions,
a joint venture entity under which Master Developer and SCP are intended to be
partners and in which SCP is intended to be majority owner and managing partner,
and SCP’s record of success and experience and expertise in developing projects
similar to the Phase B Projects and its proposed leadership role in the development of
the applicable Phase B Parcels is a significant inducement to the execution and
delivery by the City of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the Development
Inducement Agreement. The City finds that because of the proven track record of SCP,
the timing of the Phase B Projects in connection with the overall development of
Riverside Village, the structure of the Grants, and the significant tangible and
intangible impact of the Phase B Projects on the City and its residents, the public will
obtain significant benefits that far exceed any benefit to the Developer Parties, and far
outweigh the cost of the Grants. The City has therefore applied the standards in Nichols
to the Phase B Projects and has determined that prong (4) of the Byrd Test is satisfied.
The City has therefore applied the standards of the Byrd Test to the Phase B Projects
and has determined that all four elements of the Byrd Test are satisfactorily met.
Section 3 Approval of the Development Inducement Agreement and Fourth
Amendment to MDA.
(a) The City has negotiated the Grants with the Developer Parties and such Grants
shall be supplied to the Developer Parties in accordance with the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Development Inducement Agreement and the Master Development
Agreement, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to MDA.
(b) The Fourth Amendment to MDA, the substantially final form of which is
attached to this Ordinance at Exhibit A, and the Development Inducement Agreement, the
substantially final form of which is attached to this Ordinance as Exhibit B, shall each be
executed and delivered on behalf of the City by the Mayor or the City Administrator, with
such changes as the same shall determine necessary prior to execution, but that are consistent
with this Ordinance. Upon such execution, the City Council shall be timely informed of the
execution of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the Development Inducement Agreement.
The consummation of the transactions and undertakings described in the Fourth Amendment
to MDA and the Development Inducement Agreement, and such additional transactions and
undertakings as may be determined by the Mayor and the City Administrator, in consultation
with legal counsel to be necessary or advisable in connection therewith, are hereby approved.
Section 4 Method of Appropriation of Grants. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Ordinance, the Fourth Amendment to MDA or the Development Inducement
Agreement, the City’s obligations with respect to all Grant payments are subject to
appropriation by the City Council of the City in future fiscal periods pursuant to ordinance
duly adopted and shall be payable solely from general funds of the City appropriated for such
purposes, as applicable, and not from any other source.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 7 of 52

Section 5 Other Documents; Ratification of Prior Actions. In connection with
the execution and delivery of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the Development
Inducement Agreement, the Mayor and the City Administrator are additionally authorized to
prepare, review, negotiate, execute, deliver, and agree to such additional agreements,
certifications, documents, closing proofs, and undertakings as they shall deem necessary or
advisable in order to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Ordinance or the Fourth
Amendment to MDA and the Development Inducement Agreement. Any actions previously
undertaken by the Mayor, the City Administrator, City Council or City staff in connection
with the execution and delivery of the Fourth Amendment to MDA and the Development
Inducement Agreement prior to the enactment of this Ordinance are ratified and confirmed.
Section 6 Public Hearing. Prior to the date of enactment of this Ordinance and
pursuant to the requirements of Section 6-31-60(B) of the Code of Laws of South Carolina
1976, as amended, the City held a public hearing on the enactment of this Ordinance (the
“Public Hearing”), which included the opportunity to discuss the Fourth Amendment to
MDA. The notice of Public Hearing, in the form and format required by Section 6-1-50 of the
Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976, as amended, and attached hereto as Exhibit C, was
timely published in the The Augusta Chronicle, which is a newspaper of general circulation
in the City. All interested parties were given an opportunity to speak in favor of or against this
Ordinance. All actions of City staff as necessary to properly notice the Public Hearing are
ratified, confirmed and approved.
Section 7 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Ordinance
should be contrary to law, then such provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining
provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of the other provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 8 Repealer. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to affect any
suit or proceeding impending in any court, or any rights acquired, or liability incurred, or any
cause of action acquired or existing, under any act or ordinance hereby repealed; nor shall any
just or legal right or remedy of any character be lost, impaired or affected by this Ordinance.
Section 9 Inconsistency. All ordinances, resolutions or parts of any ordinances
or resolutions inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby
repealed to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency.
Section 10 Effect. This Ordinance shall be enacted upon second reading by the
City Council.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Fourth Amendment to Master Development Agreement (this “Fourth Amendment”)
is made and entered into as of April __, 2024, by and among the CITY OF NORTH AUGUSTA,
SOUTH CAROLINA (the “City”), GREENSTONE HAMMOND’S FERRY, LLC, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the State of South Carolina (“Greenstone”), and
each of the Owners listed on Exhibit A attached hereto.
RECITALS
The City, GreenJackets Baseball LLC (“GreenJackets”), Ackerman Greenstone North
Augusta, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (the
“Hotel Developer”), and Greenstone entered into the Master Development Agreement dated
March 15, 2017, as amended (the “MDA” or the “Agreement”), to (1) establish the terms under
which (a) the City would deliver or cause to be delivered the City Projects and the Non-Greenstone
Private Capital Investment, (b) Greenstone would deliver or cause to be delivered the Greenstone
Projects and the Greenstone Capital Investment, and (c) Hotel Developer would deliver or cause
to be delivered the Hotel, and (2) describe the relationships among the various parties in connection
with developing the Property pursuant to the Master Plan. All capitalized terms used in this Fourth
Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the MDA unless otherwise expressly
provided herein.
The Agreement was previously amended by a First Amendment to Master Development
Agreement dated March 15, 2022, pursuant to which the Term of the Agreement was extended to
March 15, 2023, by a Second Amendment to Master Development Agreement dated March 15,
2023, pursuant to which the Term of the Agreement was extended to March 15, 2024, and a Third
Amendment to Master Development Agreement dated March 15, 2024, pursuant to which the
Term of the Agreement was extended to May 14, 2024.
All the City Projects, the Hotel, and several of the Greenstone Projects have been
completed. However, not all the elements of the Master Plan have been completed and Greenstone
desires to extend the Term of the Agreement to provide additional time to complete the Master
Plan.
Further, due to changes in market conditions, the current interest rate environment and the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things, Greenstone, as Master Developer, has
determined that (1) certain elements of the Master Plan, as originally proposed, require
modification, and (2) certain inducements, in the form of grants, are necessary to induce further
development of certain remaining undeveloped parcels of the Property. Therefore, Greenstone (A)
desires to revise the Master Plan with respect to certain of the Parcels, including making certain
changes to the planned use or uses of certain Parcels and updating the status of certain projects
described in the Agreement, and (B) has requested that the City and the Owners listed on Exhibit
A hereto enter into this Fourth Amendment with Greenstone for the purpose of extending the Term
and making certain amendments and modifications to the MDA and Master Plan, all subject to
certain terms and conditions set forth herein.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 12 of 52

Section 18.04 of the Agreement provides that, if an amendment to the MDA involves
property owned by less than all the persons and entities comprising the Owners, then only the City
and those persons and entities which own the property which is the subject of the amendment need
to sign such written amendment. Accordingly, the parties executing this Fourth Amendment are
the only parties that are required to sign per the terms of Section 18.04, all as more fully provided
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the City, Greenstone, and each of the Owners listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
EXTENSION OF TERM
The Term of the Agreement is hereby extended beyond its current termination date of May
14, 2024, and, as a result of such extension, the Agreement shall terminate on March 15, 2028,
unless earlier terminated as provided herein or extended by mutual agreement as provided for in
Section 2.01 of the Agreement and Section 6-31-60(A)(2) of the Act.
ARTICLE II
REVISED MASTER PLAN AND CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO MDA
(a) The Master Plan attached as Exhibit C to the Agreement (defined in the MDA as the
“Master Plan” or the “Ballpark Village Master Plan”) is hereby revised and is as set forth in Exhibit
C-1 attached to this Fourth Amendment (the “Revised Riverside Village Master Plan”) and all
references in the Agreement to the Master Plan or the Ballpark Village Master Plan shall be
deemed to refer to the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan. The Revised Riverside Village
Master Plan will constitute Phase B of the General Development Plan and will apply to and, as
applicable, modify the uses with respect to Parcels C, D, G, H, I and K (the “Phase B Parcels”)
located in the Development, which is now commonly referred to as Riverside Village (and
formerly known as Ballpark Village). Exhibit C-2 attached to this Fourth Amendment shows a
side-by-side comparison of the proposed uses of the Phase B Parcels under the original Ballpark
Village Master Plan versus the uses under the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan. The
proposed uses of the various Phase B Parcels, as shown on the Revised Riverside Village Master
Plan are hereby approved by the City. In addition, the definition of “Master Plan” is hereby revised

B. Authorization; Entire Agreement; Controlling Provisions. This Fourth
Amendment is entered into in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Agreement and Section 6-31-
60(A)(2) of the Act, and this Fourth Amendment and the Agreement, as amended, together
constitute the complete and exclusive written expression of the intent of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof which will supersede all previous verbal and written
communications, representations, agreements, promises or statements. Except as amended hereby,

ATTACHMENT #8 Page 16 of 52
6
Amendment. Once executed by all parties, this Fourth Amendment will, together with the
Agreement, constitute a valid and binding agreement, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
D. Mutual Dependency and Severability. All rights and duties contained in this
Fourth Amendment are mutually dependent on each other and one cannot exist independent of
another, provided that if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Fourth Amendment
shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Fourth
Amendment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision was not
contained herein.
E. Notices and Addresses. Any notices given under this Fourth Amendment
shall be given in accordance with the terms and provisions of giving notice under the Agreement.
F. Amendment, Modification, or Alteration. No amendment, modification, or

G. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in any

or originals together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
H. Binding Effect/Benefit. This Fourth Amendment shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective affiliates, successors, and assigns.
I. Parties to Fourth Amendment; Approval by Ordinance. Section 18.04 of
the Agreement provides that “[i]f an amendment involves property owned by less than all the
persons and entities comprising the Owners, then only the City and those persons or entities which
own the property which is subject to the requested amendment need to sign such written
amendment.”
Graybul Ironwood, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the “Apartment Owner”), is the owner of Parcel J as shown on the Revised
Riverside Village Master Plan and was a party to the three prior amendments to the Agreement
but is not a party to this Fourth Amendment. Parcel J is not subject to this Fourth Amendment, so,
in accordance with Section 18.04 of the Agreement, the Apartment Owner need not sign this
Fourth Amendment.
Hotel Developer is the owner of Parcel F as shown on the Revised Riverside Village
Master Plan and was a party to the three prior amendments to the Agreement but is not a party to
this Fourth Amendment. Parcel F is not subject to this Fourth Amendment, so, in accordance with
Section 18.04 of the Agreement, the Hotel Developer need not sign this Fourth Amendment.
Riverside Village B Owner, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (the
“Stadium Deck Owner”), is the owner of Parcel B as shown on the Revised Riverside Village
Master Plan and was a party to the three prior amendments to the Agreement but is not a party to
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 17 of 52
7
this Fourth Amendment. Parcel B is not subject to this Fourth Amendment, so, in accordance with
Section 18.04 of the Agreement, the Stadium Deck Owner need not sign this Fourth Amendment.
Greenstone Hendon Riverside Village, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company
(the “Southbound Owner”), is the owner of that portion of Parcel A-2 (as shown on the Revised
Riverside Village Master Plan) on which Southbound Smokehouse is located and was a party to
the three prior amendments to the Agreement but is not a party to this Fourth Amendment. Parcel
A-2 is not subject to this Fourth Amendment, so, in accordance with Section 18.04 of the
Agreement, the Southbound Owner need not sign this Fourth Amendment.
Hammonds Ferry Commercial I, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, was a
party to the three prior amendments to the Agreement but is no longer an Owner and therefore is
not a party to this Fourth Amendment.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Fourth Amendment and for
the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed among the parties to this Fourth Amendment
that the provisions of Article I of this Fourth Amendment relating to extension of the Term of the
Agreement shall apply to all parties to the Agreement, including the Apartment Owner, the Hotel
Developer, the Stadium Deck Owner and the Southbound Owner.
Section 18.04 of the Agreement also provides that the “…Agreement may be
modified or amended only by the written agreement of the City and the Owners; such written
agreement, if not statutorily required to be by ordinance, may be by resolution or ordinance at the
City’s sole discretion.” The parties to this Fourth Amendment include the City and the Owners,
as currently constituted (but not including the Apartment Owner, the Hotel Developer, the Stadium
Deck Owner and the Southbound Owner), and the City has decided, in its sole discretion, to
approve this Fourth Amendment by ordinance. GreenJackets are not an Owner and thus were not
required to be, nor were they, a party to either of the prior two amendments to the Agreement and,
likewise, are not required to be, nor are they a party to this Fourth Amendment.
J. Amendment and Restatement of Master Parking Agreement. The parties to
this Fourth Amendment acknowledge that the Master Parking Facilities Operating and Easement
Agreement dated April 25, 2017, between the City and Greenstone, will be amended and restated
in advance of or in conjunction with the execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment.

A. City at its sole cost and expense constructed a 601-space parking garage on the
Medac Building site as shown on Exhibit D of the Master Development Agreement.
B. The City allows for the Medac Building, and permitted Riverside Village
employees, to use the Medac Deck during workday business hours (in accordance
with Medac Lease Terms) and will allow general public use of the garage before
and/or after Medac Building business hours at rates and charges to be determined
by the City.
II. Hotel Deck
A. The Hotel Deck was developed by Hotel Developer, paid for with proceeds of
bonds issued by the North Augusta Public Facilities Corporation and owned by the
City and the North Augusta Public Facilities Corporation. The Hotel Deck consists
of an approximately 451 space parking garage on the site depicted on Parcel E of
the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan, as shown at Exhibit C-1 of the Master
Development Agreement.
B. 160 parking spaces of the spaces in II.A above will have a separate controlled gate
with Hotel access card. These spaces are for Hotel patrons only.
C. Exclusive of Stadium or City Events, up to 260 of the 451 parking spaces for this
garage will be used as a first priority use for Hotel operations including the 160 for
hotel patrons and the Convention Facility (100 spaces).
D. 160 parking spaces of the spaces in II.A above will be dedicated 24/7 for residents
of multi-family space on Parcel K, subject to payment to the City by the Owner of
Parcel K for the use of such parking spaces (which payment shall initially be
$30/month, subject to annual adjustment to an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
City’s then prevailing monthly parking rate for daytime parking in the Parking
Facilities or (y) one hundred three percent (103%) of the then current monthly fee
amount (rounded to the nearest hundredth of a dollar), as mutually determined by
the City and the Master Developer, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
E. The remaining 14 spaces will be designated as “flex use spaces” for Hotel
Restaurant, Conference Facility, Non-Hotel Retail and Stadium Event Parking.
F. Hotel will pay City 40% of income received from the charged daily rate for parking
from both room revenue and collected Conference Facility revenue where parking
is charged to the event and included in the cost of the Conference Facility use. This
40% share is intended to off-set the Hotel’s share of the parking lot operation and
maintenance and repair costs paid by the City.
G. Hotel Developer will operate and manage the Hotel Deck and the City will be
responsible for all maintenance, expenses and repair of the Hotel Deck, subject to
certain terms and conditions in the Master Parking Agreement.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 32 of 52
F-2
H. All income from the parking garage for the “flex use spaces” will go 100% to the
City other than pre-paid Conference Facility revenue which will be handled in
accordance with II.F above.
I. When the Conference Facility does not require reserved parking for a scheduled
event, the City will have the option of using those spaces as “flex use spaces” and
will collect fees for use of these spaces as they would for the spaces in II.H above.
Hotel will endeavor to notify City one week in advance that Conference Facility
parking spaces are expected to be available. Hotel will produce a weekly report
that provides this advance notice. It is understood the Hotel could receive an
unexpected large Conference Facility request with very little advance notice but
this situation is expected to be rare.

Deck; provided that additional details regarding the use of the Hotel Deck will be
detailed in one or more separate parking agreements.
III. Stadium Deck

specifically to use of the Stadium Deck for events at the Stadium.
IV. On-Street Parking – Approximately 164 on-street spaces will be available in time intervals
determined by the City, managed by City meters (in the discretion of the City), with the exception
of limited special permit requirements.
V. Special Event Surface Parking – In addition to parking arrangements provided for in the
Master Parking Agreement, the parties have agreed that 100 spaces at City Hall, 200 spaces at
Riverside Boulevard Park, and possible additional locations will be available at Event Rates for
special events. The 100 spaces at City Hall will be subject at all times to the City’s first priority
use rights related to City Events at City Hall and the City shall at all times have the privilege of
asserting such first priority use rights. The City will endeavor to notify Hotel Developer,
Greenstone and Team Owner at least one week in advance of a City Event which conflicts with a
Special Event and thereby limits or prevents use of all or a portion of the 100 spaces for any period
of time on a Special Event date.
VI. Retail/Restaurant Parking – Special parking incentives for retail/restaurant patrons will be
offered by voucher from Retail and Restaurant tenants.
VII. Stadium Event Parking – during Home Baseball Games and Licensee Special Events in
the Stadium and/or in the City right-of-way.

FORM OF DEVELOPMENT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 35 of 52
DEVELOPMENT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is an
agreement entered into to be effective as of April __, 2024, by and among GREENSTONE
HAMMOND’S FERRY, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State
of South Carolina (the “Master Developer”) and each of the Owners listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto (together with their successors and assigns, the “Mixed-Use Developers” and,
collectively with Master Developer, the “Developer Parties”), and the CITY OF NORTH
AUGUSTA, SOUTH CAROLINA (the “City”).
RECITALS
1. The Master Developer, Ackerman Greenstone North Augusta, LLC (the “Hotel
Developer”), GreenJackets Baseball LLC, and the City entered into that certain Master
Development Agreement dated March 15, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Master
Development Agreement” or “MDA”) and subsequently the Developer Parties, the Hotel
Developer, together with certain other Owners (as defined in the Master Development Agreement)
entered into (a) two amendments thereto, on March 15, 2022 and on March 15, 2023, in each case
extending the term of the Master Development Agreement by one year and (b) an additional
amendment thereto, on March 15, 2024, extending the term of the Master Development Agreement
by sixty (60) days. Under the Master Development Agreement, the City designated Master
Developer as master developer for a mixed-use project in North Augusta, South Carolina now
known as “Riverside Village”, which project is generally as shown on the master plan (the
“Revised Riverside Village Master Plan”) attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference
incorporated herein, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Development Agreement.
2. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Developer Parties, certain
other Owners, and the City are entering into a Fourth Amendment to Master Development
Agreement dated April __, 2024 (the “Fourth Amendment to MDA”) for the purpose of extending
the term of the Master Development Agreement and making certain amendments and
modifications to the Master Development Agreement and replacing the Master Plan (as defined in
the Master Development Agreement) with the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan, all subject
to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Fourth Amendment to MDA and in this Agreement.
3. The Developer Parties, as applicable, are the owners of certain parcels of real
property consisting of approximately six acres (of the approximately 35.4 acres comprising the
Property as defined in and subject to the Master Development Agreement and as described on
Exhibit B-1 to the Master Development Agreement) and shown on the Revised Riverside Village
Master Plan as Parcels C, D, G, H, I and K (the “Phase B Parcels”) located in Aiken County,
North Augusta, South Carolina.
4. The Developer Parties intend to develop and construct a mixture of uses on the
Phase B Parcels, continuing the mixed-use development contemplated in the original master plan
for Riverside Village, and such mixture of uses on the Phase B Parcels will consist of multi-family
and single-family residential, retail, and other uses (the “Phase B Projects”), generally as shown
on the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 36 of 52

5. Further, due to changes in market conditions, the current interest rate environment
and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, the Master Developer has
determined that (i) certain elements of the Master Plan, as originally proposed, require
modification, and (ii) certain inducements are necessary to catalyze further development of certain
remaining undeveloped Phase B Parcels.
6. The City Council, after performing its initial due diligence, has determined that the
development of the Phase B Parcels and the construction of the Phase B Projects according to the
Master Development Agreement, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to MDA, and this
Agreement, is consistent with the City’s plans for growth and development in the Riverside Village
development and in the City’s downtown, more generally, and that the completion of the Phase B
Projects by the applicable Developer Parties will give rise to the following benefits for the City:
(a) benefit the general public welfare of the City by providing for additional and more diverse
housing options and related parking; (b) increase commercial and economic activity and visitation
to the Riverside Village area; (c) continue the revitalization and redevelopment of the Riverside
Village area, the completion of which constitutes a significant priority for the City and fulfills a
public purpose; (d) enhance the aesthetics of the Riverside Village development by developing
and improving the currently vacant Phase B Parcels and buttress the City’s infrastructure by adding
or improving sidewalks and walkways, landscaping, streetscaping, and lighting as part of the Phase
B Projects; (e) significantly increase the City’s ad valorem tax revenues from the Phase B Parcels
that support previously issued tax increment revenue obligations of the City; (f) increase utility
revenues in the City; (g) increase business license revenues for the City; (h) promote occupancy,
increased jobs and investment in the existing Riverside Village development; and (i) based on the
proposed retail development to be included in certain Phase B Projects, increase sales tax revenues
(particularly local hospitality tax revenues, where applicable) and provide services not currently
or adequately provided within the City at this time, and such benefits as a result of completion of
the Phase B Projects are proper governmental and public purposes.
7. The City Council has determined further that the inducement of the development
of the Phase B Projects within the Riverside Village area of the City is of paramount importance
and, after considering all available options and the fact that the Phase B Parcels have remained
vacant since the inception of Riverside Village despite significant public investment to catalyze
development, the value of the tangible and intangible benefits of the Phase B Projects to the public
(as described above) is significantly greater than the cost to the City to induce the development of
the Phase B Projects. Furthermore, the Grants (as defined herein) are structured such that the Phase
B Projects will be substantially completed prior to the payment of any such Grants, thereby
mitigating risks that the benefits to the City will be speculative. Based on the foregoing, the City
has determined that such purposes to be accomplished by the Phase B Projects are proper
governmental and public purposes and the City has evaluated the Phase B Projects considering all
relevant and required factors, including, but not limited to, the anticipated dollar amount and nature
of the investment to be made, the anticipated costs and benefits to the City, the mitigation of risks
to the City, and all other criteria deemed appropriate by City Council or prescribed by law.
8. The City, acting through its duly elected City Council as its governing body and
upon the passing of such ordinances or other authorizing legislation as may be necessary, is duly
empowered to expend public funds for public purposes. In consideration for the Phase B Projects
being developed and to induce the Developer Parties to develop the Phase B Parcels, the City has
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 37 of 52
3
agreed to (a) grant to the applicable Developer Parties an amount calculated with reference to
actual land disturbance permit and building permit fees and sewer tap fees paid by Developer
Parties with respect to the Phase B Projects on the Phase B Parcels and (b) make certain additional
grants to Developer Parties, all subject to certain terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Master Development Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment to MDA and as further
described in Sections 2(a) and (b) of this Agreement (collectively, the “Grants”).
9. Further, the City is mindful of the requirements of Nichols v. South Carolina
Research Authority, 290 S.C. 415 (1986) and WDW Properties v. City of Sumter, 342 S.C. 6, 535
S.E.2d 631 (2000) (collectively referred to as the “Byrd Test”), for determining when the
expenditure of funds for the purpose of economic development projects constitutes a public
purpose, and the City has structured the Grants to meet the applicable portions of the Byrd Test.
Accordingly, the City expects to provide the Grants to the Master Developer as an inducement for
the successful development of the Phase B Projects, all subject to certain terms and conditions set
forth herein and in the Master Development Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment to
MDA.
10. Master Developer has experience in the development of facilities similar to the
Phase B Projects, and has adequate experience, expertise, personnel, and resources to properly
coordinate and finance all development and construction activities reasonably required for the
successful completion of the Phase B Projects. Master Developer’s experience and expertise in
developing projects similar to the Phase B Projects is a an important consideration in connection
with the execution and delivery by the City of this Agreement.
11. Mixed-Use Developers have experience in the development of facilities similar to
the Phase B Projects, and have adequate experience, expertise, personnel, and resources to properly
coordinate and finance all development and construction activities reasonably required for the
successful completion of the Phase B Projects. Mixed-Use Developers’ experience and expertise
in developing projects similar to the Phase B Projects is a significant inducement to the execution
and delivery by the City of this Agreement. Moreover, Master Developer has confirmed to the City
its intention to partner with South City Partners, LLC, a real estate development firm
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia (“SCP”), to develop Parcels C, G, H and K (which constitute
the substantial majority of the Phase B Parcels by number and land area) and to complete the Phase
B Projects related to those Parcels. The Master Developer and SCP have confirmed to the City that
their intention is for SCP to be the majority owner and managing partner in the joint venture
between Master Developer and SCP and that such joint venture entity (or affiliate(s) thereof) will
acquire Parcels C, G, H and K and will become a Developer Party pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Master Development Agreement and a Mixed-Use Developer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The City has, through its diligence review, confirmed that SCP has a
record of success and the experience, expertise, personnel, and resources necessary to properly
coordinate all development and construction activities reasonably required for the successful
completion of the applicable Phase B Projects. Based on SCP’s experience and expertise in
developing projects similar to the Phase B Projects, its proposed leadership role in the development
of the applicable Phase B Parcels is a significant benefit to the City and an important consideration
in connection with the execution and delivery by the City of this Agreement. Additional Mixed-
Use Developers will complete the development and construction of the remaining Phase B Projects
(Parcel D and Parcel I) in accordance with the provisions of the Master Development Agreement.

12. In furtherance of the development of the Phase B Projects, the City enacted an
ordinance authorizing and approving (a) this Agreement and the provisions hereof, (b) the Fourth
Amendment to MDA and the provisions thereof, and (c) the method of appropriation of the funds
(and the source of such funds) necessary to pay the Grants to induce the Developer Parties to
develop the Phase B Projects in accordance with the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan.
COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Construction of Phase B Projects
Master Developer and Mixed-Use Developers shall coordinate the development,
construction, and completion of the Phase B Projects. In connection with the development and
construction of the Phase B Projects, Master Developer and Mixed-Use Developers agree to
employ contractors, professionals, and advisors experienced in the development of projects such
as the Phase B Projects and use standards of care and diligence in accordance with established
standards of performance by professional real estate developers for improvements of similar
magnitude and complexity.
2. Disbursement of Grant Funds
(a) Grant Payments Relating to Certain Fees. With respect to each Phase B Parcel, so
long as Master Developer and the Owner of the applicable parcel are not in default of their
respective obligations under the MDA and this Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this subsection (a) and subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, the City agrees to provide a grant to Master Developer calculated with reference to the
actual amount of the following fees to be paid by Master Developer and/or the applicable Owner
in connection with the development of each Phase B Parcel:
(i) Land Disturbance Permit fees paid to the City with respect to such Phase B
Parcel;
(ii) Building Permit fees paid to the City with respect to such Phase B Parcel;
and
(iii) Sewer tap fees paid to the City with respect to such Phase B Parcel.
In order to be eligible for such grant, Master Developer and the Owner(s) of the applicable Phase
B Parcel shall present to the City the following:
(1) a final, original Certificate of Occupancy for all improvements developed on
such Phase B Parcel in accordance with the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan (for the
avoidance of doubt, where the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan provides for more
than one building, improvement or project on a Phase B Parcel, in order to qualify for the
applicable grant, Master Developer and/or such Owner, as applicable, must present to the
City a final, original Certificate of Occupancy for all such buildings, improvements or
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 39 of 52
5
projects on such Phase B Parcel), except for the portions of any such improvements that
contain Retail Space (as defined in the Master Development Agreement) which portions
are provided for in subsection (a)(2) below, and
(2) if any building, improvement or project on such Phase B Parcel includes Retail
Space, then with respect to all such Retail Space, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
City that Master Developer and/or such Owner has funded (in part or in whole) or has
availability to fund, either in the form of equity or debt, not less than an average of $60.00
per square foot of costs (either direct construction costs and/or tenant allowances) with
respect to the upfit beyond that of a base, unheated, unlit shell (Cold Dark Shell) of the
Retail Space in each completed building(s), improvement(s) or project(s) on such Phase B
Parcel; provided that to the extent Master Developer and/or such Owner has elected to pre-
install some tenant improvements as part of the buildout of a building, improvement or
project, the costs attributable to such installation and construction will be considered part
of the $60.00 per square foot of available funding.
Following presentation of the items set forth in subparagraphs (1) and, if applicable, (2) of
this subsection (a) and satisfactory review and acceptance thereof by the City, such review and
acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld, the City agrees to grant to Master
Developer the total amounts described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above previously paid to
the City with respect to such Phase B Parcel. If the grant of such amounts has been duly and
properly authorized and included in the City’s budget for the then-current fiscal year pursuant to
an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City, then such disbursement shall be made within
15 days of the above-described review and acceptance by the City. If the disbursement of such
amounts has not been included in the City’s approved budget for the then-current fiscal year, then
the officer of the City charged with the responsibility for formulating budget proposals shall
include in the budget proposals for review and consideration by the City Council for the City’s
next following fiscal year provision for such disbursement of funds from general fund moneys of
the City, and if such budget duly and properly authorizing such disbursement is adopted by
ordinance of City Council of the City, then such disbursement shall be made on or before the later
of (a) January 15 following the commencement of the fiscal year for which such budget has been
adopted or (b) fifteen days after the adoption of such budget.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the amounts with respect to each
Phase B Parcel to be granted pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not, in any event, exceed the
respective amounts per Phase B Parcel as follows:
Table 1
Parcel Not to Exceed Amount of Aggregate Grant
C $100,000
D $25,000
G/H $75,000
I $25,000
K $225,000
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 40 of 52
6
For the sake of clarity and for the avoidance of doubt, the not to exceed amounts shown in
Table 1 above are intended to be a cap on any grant payment that may become due with respect to
the respective Phase B Parcels. Moreover, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement, the aggregate amount of grant payments to be paid by the City under this
subsection (a) shall not exceed $450,000 (the “Aggregate Cap”). The final amount of any grant
payment with respect to a Phase B Parcel, if due and payable under the terms and conditions of
this subsection (a), will be equal to the lesser of (x) the actual amount of the aggregate land
disturbance permit fees, building permit fees and sewer tap fees paid by the Master Developer
and/or the applicable Owner with respect to such Phase B Parcel, (y) the applicable not to exceed
amount for such Phase B Parcel as shown in Table 1 above, and (z) an amount, which when added
to other grant payments previously made with respect to other Phase B Parcels, does not exceed
the Aggregate Cap.
(b) Other Grant Payments. With respect to the Phase B Parcels identified as Parcels C,
G, H, and K, so long as Master Developer and the Owner(s) of the applicable parcels are not in
default of their respective obligations under the MDA and this Agreement, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this subsection (b) and subject to the provisions of
subsection (c) of this Section 2, the City agrees to pay to Master Developer and/or such Owner(s),
as applicable, the grant installment payments described below, but only upon presentation by
Master Developer and such Owner(s) of the following:
(1) a final, original Certificate of Occupancy for all improvements developed on
Parcels C, G, H, and K in accordance with the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan (for
the avoidance of doubt, where the Revised Riverside Village Master Plan provides for more
than one building, improvement or project on a Phase B Parcel, in order to qualify for the
applicable payment, Master Developer and/or such Owner, as applicable, must present to
the City a final, original Certificate of Occupancy for all such buildings, improvements or
projects on the applicable Phase B Parcel), except for the portions of any such
improvements that contain Retail Space (as defined in the Master Development
Agreement) which portions are provided for in subsection (b)(2) below, subject to and in
accordance with the schedule and related conditions set forth below, and
(2) for Parcels C, G, and H only, if any building, improvement or project on such
Phase B Parcel includes Retail Space, then with respect to all such Retail Space on such
Phase B Parcel, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that Master Developer and/or
such Owner has funded (in part or in whole) or has availability to fund, either in the form
of equity or debt, not less than an average of $60.00 per square foot of costs (either direct
construction costs and/or tenant allowances) with respect to the upfit beyond that of a base,
unheated, unlit shell (Cold Dark Shell) of the completed building(s), improvement(s) or
project(s) on such Phase B Parcel; provided that to the extent Master Developer and/or
such Owner has elected to pre-install some tenant improvements as part of the buildout of
a building, improvement or project, the costs attributable to such installation and
construction will be considered part of the $60.00 per square foot of available funding:
Subject to the terms and conditions of the next following paragraph, three (3) consecutive
annual grant installments of $333,333.33 each, (A) with the first such grant installment payable in
the fiscal year during which the items set forth in subparagraphs (1) and, if applicable, (2) of this
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 41 of 52
7
subsection (b) with respect to Parcel C and Parcel K are presented, so long as such presentation is
made on or before December 31, 2027, and the City thereafter reviews and accepts such items and
deems them to be satisfactory, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed or
withheld (for the avoidance of doubt, if the items set forth in subparagraphs (1) and, if applicable,
(2) of this subsection (b) have not been presented to the City for review on or prior to December
31, 2027, then the City’s obligation to make any grant installment payments hereunder shall
terminate and, if such items are presented for review prior to December 31, 2027 and, thereafter,
the City does not accept such items and deem them to be satisfactory, then, subject to any appeal
rights the Master Developer and/or Owner of such Phase B Parcel may have, the City’s obligation
to make any grant installment payments hereunder shall terminate) and, (B) the second and third
such grant installments shall be due in the two consecutive fiscal years following the fiscal year in
which the first grant installment is paid; provided, however, that the third consecutive annual grant
installment shall only be due and payable if, prior to the date on which such payment is due and
prior to February 15, 2028, the items set forth in subparagraphs (1) and, if applicable, (2) of this
subsection (b) with respect to Parcel G and Parcel H have been presented and, on or before March
15, 2028, the City has reviewed and accepted such items and deemed them to be satisfactory, such
review and acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld (for the avoidance of doubt, if
the conditions for payment of the third consecutive annual grant installment provided for herein
are not satisfied on prior to March 15, 2028, the City’s obligation to make such installment
payment hereunder shall terminate).
If any of the three consecutive annual grant installments described above becomes payable
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the
disbursement of such amount has been duly and properly authorized and included in the City’s
budget for the applicable fiscal year pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the
City, then such disbursement shall be made within 15 days of the above-described review and
acceptance by the City; provided, however, if the disbursement of such amount has not been
included in the City’s approved budget for the applicable fiscal year, then the officer of the City
charged with the responsibility for formulating budget proposals shall include in the budget
proposals for review and consideration by the City Council for the City’s next following fiscal
year provision for such disbursement of funds from general fund moneys of the City, and if such
budget duly and properly authorizing such disbursement is adopted by ordinance of City Council
of the City, then such disbursement shall be made on or before the later of (a) January 15 following
the commencement of the fiscal year for which such budget has been adopted or (b) fifteen days
after the adoption of such budget.
For the sake of clarity and for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate amount of grant installment payments to be paid by the
City under this subsection (b) shall not exceed $1,000,000.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt,
the City’s obligations with respect to all payments described in subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 2 are subject to appropriation by the City Council of the City in future fiscal periods
pursuant to ordinance duly adopted and shall be payable solely from general funds of the City
appropriated for such purposes, as applicable, and not from any other source, all as more fully
provided in the ordinance adopted by City Council approving this Agreement and the Fourth
Amendment to MDA.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 42 of 52

(d) The entire sum of the Grants, including the Grants referenced in subparagraphs (a)
and (b) above, to be paid by the City pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $1,450,000. For
the avoidance of doubt, the City has no obligation to fund any costs related to the Phase B Projects,
and the Developer Parties agree that the Developer Parties will complete the Phase B Projects at
the Developer Parties’ own expense, without payment from the City of any kind or for any overage,
except as expressly set forth herein.
3. Other Duties of Master Developer, Mixed-Use Developers, and the City
(a) Developer Parties, as applicable, shall promptly commence, and thereafter
diligently pursue, the development, construction, and completion of the Phase B Projects, as more
fully provided in the Master Development Agreement, as specifically amended by the Fourth
Amendment to MDA, and particularly in accordance with the development schedule provided for
in the Fourth Amendment to MDA.
(b) Master Developer and Mixed-Use Developers shall secure all approvals, permits
and certificates from governmental authorities necessary for construction and occupancy of each
Phase B Project.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision which may be construed to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Developer Parties must comply with any and all applicable Technical Codes (as
defined below) in effect as of the date of this Agreement or as may subsequently be adopted by
the City or other applicable governmental entity. This Agreement shall not be construed to
supersede or contravene the requirements of any Technical Code. The Developer Parties
acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement shall obviate the requirement that the
Developer Parties must comply with all City ordinances, building codes, and development
standards. With respect to all these requirements, the City will not unreasonably withhold approval
of any Developer Party’s permit and related applications. The provisions of this Agreement are
not intended, nor should they be construed in any way, to alter or amend in any way the rights,
duties and privileges of the City to exercise governmental powers and pass laws applicable to
development of the Phase B Projects including, but not limited to, the power of eminent domain
and the power to levy and collect taxes. “Technical Code” means any flood laws and regulations,
building codes, housing codes, electrical codes, plumbing codes, gas codes, property maintenance
codes, and all other technical codes and regulations authorized pursuant to Title 6, Chapter 9 of
the South Carolina Code.
4. Term, Breach, and Remedies
(a) Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, this Agreement shall
continue to be in effect until the completion of the Phase B Projects and the payment of the Grants,
as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) If the City breaches its obligations hereunder, then the Developer Parties shall
provide the City notice of such breach and the City shall have twenty (20) days to cure any
monetary default and thirty (30) days to cure any non-monetary default. The Developer Parties
may pursue all remedies available at law or in equity.
ATTACHMENT #8 Page 43 of 52

(c) In the event that any of the Developer Parties (i) fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or breaches any of its duties and agreements contained herein and the failure
or breach continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of default (unless cure cannot
be accomplished in 30 days, is commenced within 30 days, and is diligently pursued to completion
within 120 days), or (ii) willfully causes a recurring failure to abide by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, or (iii) breaches or defaults under the Master Development Agreement, then
the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Developer Parties.
Such termination shall be effective on the later of (y) the date specified in such notice or (z) the
date of receipt of such notice as established pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
(d) The above provisions of this Section 4 notwithstanding, the cure of a default by
Developer Parties shall not relieve Developer Parties of responsibility for any damage or loss
suffered by the City as a result of a failure of Developer Parties to properly perform their respective
duties or a breach by Developer Parties. Notwithstanding any other limitations herein, upon any
default under subsection (c) of this Section 4, the City may pursue all remedies available at law or
in equity.
5. Notices
All notices under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be: (a) delivered
against a written receipt of delivery, (b) mailed by registered or certified mail of the United States
Postal Service, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) delivered to a nationally recognized
overnight courier service for next business day delivery, or (d) delivered via email as listed below,

Parties have any liability under this Section 7 to the extent such liability is attributable to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the City. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the

FORM OF NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF NORTH AUGUSTA, SOUTH CAROLINA
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of North Augusta, the
governing body of the City of North Augusta, South Carolina (the “City”), will conduct a
public hearing (the “Public Hearing”) at 5:30 p.m., on April 1, 2024, in the City Council
Chambers at the City Hall located at 100 North Georgia Avenue, North Augusta, South
Carolina.
The purpose of the Public Hearing is to receive public comment with respect to an
ordinance approving, among other things, a proposed Fourth Amendment to Master
Development Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) by and among the City, Greenstone
Hammond’s Ferry, LLC (the “Master Developer”), and certain Owners of real property in the
Riverside Village development in the City (“Riverside Village”). The Fourth Amendment and
the Master Development Agreement dated March 15, 2017 among the City, the Master
Developer and certain other parties (as previously amended, the “Master Development
Agreement”) pertain to certain real property comprising Riverside Village located in the area
generally bound by the Savannah River to the south, Georgia Avenue to the east, the brick
ponds to the north and the Hammond’s Ferry subdivision to the west, and those portions of
Center Street and Railroad Avenue adjacent to such parcels, as applicable. Riverside Village
is a mixed-use development combining civic, retail, commercial and residential uses,
