Fayette County's

government needs more information before

commenting on the city of Fayetteville's proposed

annexation of 873 acres at Ga. Highway 54 and

Lester Road.

The

city is required to get the county's opinion on

the matter as part of Georgia House Bill 489,

which requires greater cooperation between

governments.

Developer

Robert Rolader wants to build Deerpointe, a

450-home neighborhood, on the land, and use 2.5

acres for shops and 16 acres for offices, and has

proposed to donate 215.5 acres to the city for

public use.

But

county commissioners this week said they need

more detailed information about how the different

uses will be laid out and the proposed zoning

categories for specific parts of the project

before deciding if the plan is compatible with

the county's long-range plan for the nearby area.

Commissioners

asked interim County Administrator Chris Cofty to

write the city requesting the additional

information, and tabled action on the city's

request for input.
