A proposed
annexation by the city of Senoia could change the face of
eastern Coweta County and extend the city's borders to
the proposed Lake McIntosh.
Last week,
city officials sent Coweta County a letter confirming a
massive annexation of 967 acres from McIntosh Trail north
to near the Fayette County border.
The
property also contains the land for a proposed expansion
of TDK Boulevard from Peachtree City to Coweta County.
In the
letter, City Administrator Leonard Thompson said the
tract was surveyed for Dan Stinchcomb, but did not
specify a land use for the property.
After
receiving the letter, County Administrator Theron Gay
asked the county's planner, Robert Tolleson, to evaluate
the proposal and see if it complied with House Bill 489.
In his
evaluation, Tolleson said the notification did not follow
the recently enacted rules because it did not provide a
use for the property, nor say what the zoning would be.
The city
also asked the county to respond within 5 days from the
June 20 letter. But Tolleson said the county had 30 days
to draft a response.
Tolleson
concluded evaluation by saying it appeared the city was
using the annexation procedure used before H.B. 489 and
asked the county's attorney Mitch Powell to evaluate it.
County
administrator Theron Gay said he expected to draft the
county's initial response to the proposal by the end of
the week.
