conceptual site plan review for what would be the largest
retail establishment in Peachtree City has been put on
hold for at least two weeks.
Home Depot
was originally scheduled to be on the Planning
Commission's agenda for Monday night, but that was
scrapped because of some questions the city wanted to
address concerning the plan, such as parking, according
to city planner David Rast.
The home
improvement retailer is planning a 130,000-sq. ft.
facility, including the garden center, for its proposed
site in the Kedron Village shopping center at Ga. Highway
74 and Peachtree Parkway, Rast said. The store would be
behind Kroger, which contains about 60,000 square feet.
Other new
agenda items still on the schedule for Monday include a
landscape plan for Commerce Place on Commerce Drive and a
conceptual site plan for the Robinson Neighborhood Center
at Peachtree Parkway and Robinson Road.
A public
hearing is set for a proposed amendment to zoning
conditions for the Lallande/Scott property on Ga. Highway
54, from LUR-8 to LUR-9 (limited use residential).
Other
projects currently under review by city staff include the
final site plan for The Avenue, a shopping center being
built at the southwest corner of Hwys. 54 and 74. City
officials visited a similar development Wednesday in east
Cobb County as guests of Cousins Properties, who is
responsible for both sites.
The city
also is reviewing the final site plan for parking
improvements at the Photocircuits facility at 320
Dividend Drive.
Revised
preliminary plats for the Kedron Office Park subdivision
at Hwy. 74 and Peachtree Parkway and phase two of The
Park industrial subdivision on Gardner Drive are now
being reviewed by city staff, as is the revised final
plat for the International Drive extension on Southpark
Drive.
Revised
plans should be forthcoming from developers concerning a
proposed apartment complex on Line Creek Parkway, the
Flat Creek Crossing subdivision's Astoria Lane extension,
and the Royal Highlands subdivision at Avalon Park.
Driveway
improvements at NationsBank in the Braelinn Village
retail center are under review.
The city is
monitoring construction of a new practice athletic field
at McIntosh High School and working with the adjoining
property owners as well as the Board of Education to see
that all items mentioned in the conceptual site plan are
addressed.
According
to city staff, the cart path connection is near
completion and a conceptual landscape plan for the area
is being developed.
A master
plan for the Hwy. 54/Walt Banks Road property, developed
received by the city. A proposed development by Bob Adams
Homes on a portion of that site has already been
approved, and the city is working with Adams to
incorporated ideas from the master plan into his
development.
City staff
was scheduled to meet recently with the property manager
of the NationsBank automated teller machine at Peachtree
Crossing to review a revised lighting and building
elevation plan.
The city
has recently been awarded two grants from the
Transportation Improvements Act program. A $60,000 grant
will be used for construction of the cart path bridge
over Flat Creek, connecting the existing cart path
adjacent to Morallion Hills with the industrial park. An
$80,000 grant will be used to implement the next phase of
landscaping on Hwy. 54 from Lake Peachtree to Peachtree
Parkway.
