14-364 — Residential subdivision (19 lots, custom high-end homes) in Johnston County, NC

The Reserve at Morgan Ridge is a 28.77-acre residential subdivision creating 19 custom home lots with minimum 30,000 sq ft parcels on Mt. Pleasant Road in Johnston County. The development raises environmental concerns including jurisdiction over Coleman Branch creek, riparian buffers, wetlands, and hydrologically sensitive bibb soils, requiring coordination with NC DEQ and Corps of Engineers during final permitting. Drainage patterns and stormwater management are significant considerations for adjacent properties that experience flooding during rain events.
