Coweta

County Administrator Theron Gay confirmed

Thursday that Senoia's latest efforts to expand

its boundaries by more than 900 acres have been

dropped.

Gay

said he learned developer Steve Entrekin had

withdrawn his petition for annexing the property

near Lake Mcintosh after he learned county

officials might night extend TDK Boulevard

through the property if it was annexed into the

city.

But

on another issue, Senoia notified the county June

30 of its intentions to annex 101 acres on

Rockaway Road into the city. In his letter to the

county, city administrator Leonard Thompson said

that the applicants, Margaret Brooker and Helen

Staska, want R-20 open space zoning in the city.

The

open space zoning category was approved by the

Senoia City Council earlier this year and allows

developers to build homes on quarter-acre lots.

The developer must also reserve 25 percent of the

total land as open space.

After

learning of Senoia's intentions, County

Administrator Theron Gay told city officials the

annexation notice was not in compliance with the

recently passed H.B. 489 requirements for

governments working together on annexation

issues.

Applicants

are required to supply the intended use of the

property, which Senoia did not do, said Gay.

"While

the applicant has requested R-20 zoning, Coweta

County is not sure of specific uses within that

classification, or if it is Senoia's intent to

place that zoning classification on the property

once annexed," Gay added.

Gay

said the city is also required to allow for a

30-day response time, instead of the five days it

requested.

If

Senoia submits the information, Gay said the

county would be glad to respond to the proposal

within 30 days.
