Senoia could

soon see another subdivision.

The latest

site for prospective homebuyers would be at the intersection of Ga. Highway

85 and Seavy Street. Planning Commission Cochairman Jack Merrick told

the City Council Monday night that his board approved the rezoning of

the property by a 2-1 vote.

The site is

42 acres and is being developed by MRC Development Company. Merrick said

the developer wants the property rezoned from R-40 single family to R-20

single family residential open space development.

R-20 allows

lots as small as a quarter acre, but requires the developer to set aside

25 percent of the land for green space.

Merrick said

the Planning Commission did place several conditions on its approval of

the rezoning.

Some of the

conditions include:

The Senoia

city attorney would review all covenants.

Additional

house plans and renderings would have to be submitted by the developer.

Definition

of all aspects of development and how enforcement will be imposed.

All lots would

be a minimum quarter-acre.

Homes would

have a minimum of 1,600 square feet.

Any paths in

the subdivision would be available to all city residents.

Development

will comply with all historic neighborhood overlay standards adopted by

the city.

The matter

now goes before the City Council March 27 for a public hearing at 7 p.m.

at City Hall.
