The

Peachtree City Planning Commission is set to consider at

Monday night's regular meeting a conceptual plan for a

new development on Ga. Highway 74 South that would bring

with it some welcome road improvements.

A developer

has submitted a plan for 254 homes on 150 acres of the

Black property, according to city planner David Rast, and

the developer wants to build an extension of Holly Grove

that would connect it with Hwy. 74.

The

property in question has been the subject of litigation

in the past concerning its possible uses, Rast said. The

site for the proposed development is just south of the

Flat Creek bridge.

The

developer also is proposing an eventual realignment of

Rockaway Road, since he owns property on the west side of

Hwy. 74 as well, Rast said.

A potential

commercial development is being mentioned for the east

side of the highway where the Holly Grove Road extension

would come out. That would be a smaller,

neighborhood-type center rather than something on the

scope of the Braelinn Village shopping center, Rast said,

and would require a rezoning at a later date.

The

conceptual site plan for the first phase of the

Huddleston property (Home Depot) on Ga. Highway 54 West,

which was tabled at the last meeting, will not be

revisited until the Nov. 8 meeting, according to Rast.

The developers have been sent a letter outlining what

issues need to be addressed before they can go forward.

A revised

conceptual site plan is on the agenda for Monday night

concerning the Barrow retail center, which was denied at

the last meeting. Concerns about a large tree which would

have been cut down, along with parking and square footage

parameters, have been addressed by the city and may have

been worked out to the satisfaction of all parties

concerned, Rast said.

The

landscape plan for McIntosh High School's new practice

field is up for discussion again, and it appears to be

moving rather smoothly. Another issue concerning the

school is the lack of a detention pond, but that could be

remedied with a proposal to put a pond near the stadium.

It has not

been a major problem, Rast said, but it came to light

when construction began on the new practice field.
