Kedron area residents to present apartment protest to City Council

Residents

of two subdivisions in northern Peachtree City

plan to make known to the City Council at

tomorrow night's meeting their concerns over

planned apartment and road development in the

area.

petition started by residents in the Belvedere

and Sagamore subdivisions related to the proposed

Line Creek Parkway and a planned AMLI apartment

complex is on the agenda for the meeting.

According

to city planner David Rast, residents are not

happy with plans for a new apartment complex to

be built on the southwest corner of the northern

Kedron Drive loop. The conceptual site plan for

the complex has already been approved by the

city, but residents say they didn't know about

the plans beforehand and were not sufficiently

informed.

The

tract in question, however, has been zoned for

multifamily development for many years, even

before litigation several years ago relating to

other apartment developments and probably before

Belvedere and Sagamore were developed, Rast said.

Those two subdivisions are about five years old.

"The

land use plan has designated that [AMLI site] as

apartments for many years," said Rast.

The

same residents also have concerns about possible

traffic problems stemming from Line Creek

Parkway, which could eventually link with Ga.

Highway 74 at the northern Kedron loop.

That

is the only place the parkway could end up, if it

ever gets to Hwy. 74 at all, because there is

only one place that a bridge could be built over

the railroad tracks, Rast said.

The

city is not allowing any more at-grade railroad

crossings - where the road and the tracks

are on the same level.

Also

on the council's agenda tomorrow night is an

appeal by the Peachtree City United Methodist

Church of the Planning Commission's ruling on its

conceptual site plan, which was approved last

month with nearly a dozen conditions.

The

church is in agreement with the city on all but

one of those conditions, which is the Planning

Commission's decision that 25 acres of the

proposed 63-acre tract be dedicated for permanent

open space.

Other

agenda items include another public hearing on a

proposed land swap with a resident of Creekbed

Court, and a request by Robert House and Bob

Adams to lift the moratorium on annexation for a

12.52-acre site on Senoia Road.

An

ordinance to adopt and enact a new code book will

be considered, as will a bid proposal for a city

auditor.
