Lowe's Buffer Wall vs. Landscaping at Southern Grove SG-8
Summary
Instead of a 6-foot wall, the new Lowe's center will install a continuous hedge and canopy trees along its northern edge next to a future 312-unit apartment community. The board denied this same northern-buffer request in 2025 because no site plan existed for the apartments — now both the apartment owner and purchaser support it.
