A proposed annexation into the city of Senoia could dramatically impact the city’s eastern border and bring more than 200 homes and new commercial growth to the quickly-developing city.
Dennis Drewyer, of McIntosh Trail Properties, asked the city to forward an annexation request to Coweta County for 167 acres on Ga. Highway 16, near its intersection with Ga. highway 85. Drewyer said his company want to build 224 homes for the active 55 and up population. The development would include no apartments, and offer older residents upgraded homes on smaller lots.
All the homes would feature the master on main, and bonus rooms on the second story for when the grandkids visited, Drewyer said. The development would be filled with pocket parks and feature upgraded finishes, such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
“It would also feature amenities, such as a pool and Wi-Fi cafe,” he said.
He said the developer would pay to extend water and sewer to the property and also pay for a sewer lift station. Additionally, the developers would hire the city’s engineer to list the requirements the developers would need to accomplish to have the property annexed into the city.
After his presentation, the City Council expressed reservations about the property not having connectivity to the city’s downtown, along with sewer and water capacity.
“We need to see what the full impacts would be on our water and sewer system,” said Councilman Jeff Fisher.
Since two council members were not at the meeting, the Council deferred the issue to the Aug.1 meeting.
