The concept

plan for a proposed 144-unit upscale apartment complex for seniors at

the intersection of Crosstown Drive and Peachtree Parkway will be considered

night.

The complex,

called The Parc at Peachtree City, has drawn complaints from residents

of the Village Park subdivision, which is just south of the proposed project.

The residents are worried the complex would create too much traffic and

construction vehicles would damage the privately owned entrance road to

their subdivision.

The property

is the last parcel of land in Peachtree City that's zoned for multi-family

residential use.

A Prime Communities

representative has committed to working with Village Park residents to

minimize the inconvenience construction of the project might cause. Roy

Dickson pledged that Prime Communities would repair any damage to the

road after construction ceased.

Other Village

Park residents complained about the proximity of the complex's design

to their backyards. Some said they were worried about noisy dumpsters

being emptied.

But Dickson

said the company would work to mitigate such problems, not only for the

benefit of Village Park residents but also for the benefit of The Parc

residents also.

Employees of

the complex would create little traffic with a maximum of eight to 10

employees on duty at one time, Dickson said.

Dickson indicated

that he wanted to work with the neighborhood association at Village Park

to address their concerns.

The "independent

living" complex will be targeted to seniors 65 and older, Dickson

said. Plans call for golf cart storage on site and a chipping and putting

green at the rear of the facility.

The complex

will have emergency crews available 24 hours a day to respond to medical

emergencies. It will also include a dining area and other activity rooms

although health care will not be provided, Dickson said.

The complex

will be owned and operated by Prime Communities, Dickson said.
