Development Status: The Winding River Plantation PUD was approved in 2001. The approval was SE-24. Section R, Clearwater Place, was approved for 120 Units. 50 have been built. Per the Brunswick County Planning Department, those remaining 70 units may still be built per the approved master plan. Please note that a site-specific plan for the remaining units must be submitted and reviewed by county staff prior to any construction.
In 2022, Cape Fear Engineering reviewed the NCDEQ files that are available and in the past met with the Brunswick County Engineering Department. The offered properties have water mains, fire hydrant and service lines in place and owned by Brunswick County and gravity sewer manholes and main lines along with service lateral lines extended to all of the building pads.
Brunswick Co’s GIS shows the water and sewer are currently included in their inventory for active Brunswick Co water and sewer. All of the building pads (#5 thru #11) have sewer stubbed up and 2 water meters per pad.
The storm drainage system that is currently used by the entire multifamily development and a good portion of the larger Winding River Amenity site runs through the parcels and appears to be operating satisfactorily.
