Task force near August deadline

The

West Village Annexation Task Force will meet

Wednesday at 3 p.m. at the Peachtree City Hall to

look over the newest version of the conceptual

plan for the project.

Time

is running short, however, for the task force to

make its August deadline for providing a

recommendation to the city council on whether or

not to annex the land.

The

conceptual plan was created during a lengthy task

force meeting last month. Since then, it has been

changed to include some of the amenities the task

force wanted, said city planner David Rast.

The

land planning consultants who are redesigning the

plan have used minutes of the task force meetings

for guidance on what changes to make.

Also,

developer representatives Jerry Peterson and Dan

Fields have had input with Wood and Partners, the

consulting firm that drew up the plan, according

to Rast.

As

of Thursday, the modified West Village plan had

not been submitted to the city. But Rast said he

has heard a number of the task force's

considerations have been included in the new

plan.

"It

sounds like they have been able to include a

little bit of everything," Rast said.

The

main issue for the developers, of course, is the

cost of infrastructure, particularly if a new

bridge to cross the railroad tracks.

To

fund that and other items such as land for a

school and a fire station, the developers have

said they need to fit over 1,400 homes in the

area.

Rast

said he also thought the plan would address the

task force's environmental concerns.
