County balks at Senoia's efforts to annex 967 acres

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.

City

administrator Leonard Thompson did not return phone calls
