City staff is recommending the Peachtree City Council move forward on a closer look at an annexation request on the city’s eastside.

“Staff recommends that Council accept the Step-Two annexation application for the 52 acres on Stagecoach and Spear Roads. Council’s acceptance of the application allows staff to begin the review process and in no way implies approval of the annexation,” according to the information packet for tonight’s meeting.

A Peachtree City resident, developer Mike Hyde described the project as the culmination of a 28-year process. The plan calls for 21 “large, upscale homes” on the east side of Camp Creek and “two large Estate Residential lots” on the west side of Camp Creek.

If the council OKs moving into Step Two, it must hold a public hearing within 60 days to vote yes or no on bringing the property into the city.

The council also will decide how to proceed with one of four options on repair of the storm-damaged Flat Creek boardwalk and associated damaged tree removal. Cost estimates range up to $145,120.

A July city survey showed overwhelming support for spending up to $200,000 to restore the boardwalk as it was before the damage, with nearly 75% of the 1,097 votes in favor of the council spending the money.

The city’s proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budget of $51.4 million also comes up for a final adoption vote tonight.
