Planners eye expansion of Whitewater

A slightly

revised plan to add 127.5 acres to the Whitewater Creek community will

be presented to the Fayette County Planning Commission Thursday.

Plans for the

addition have been scaled down from 63 homes to 60. Members of the Whitewater

Creek Homeowners Association recently voted their support of the addition.

Clayton Gilley

of Cypress Development and Becky Moore of Integrated Science and Engineering

presented tentative plans last month to get commissioners' reaction before

firming up the plans.

Planning Commission

members didn't have a problem with adding to the community, but suggested

not only scaling back the plan but also varying the sizes of lots.

Under the plan,

about 50 acres would be devoted to green space and flood plain, but as

originally drawn, it wasn't fully in keeping with the concept envisioned

Unit Development.

Gilley and

Moore presented plans showing the homes arranged like most subdivisions,

but surrounded by green space. Plans included adding the acreage to Whitewater

Creek's existing PUD. The PUD designation allows developers to build on

smaller individual lots but requires them to show creativity in designing

neighborhoods that make use of green space, amenities and varied lot sizes.

Plans also

are for homeowners in the new section to be members of the Whitewater

Creek Country Club.

Commission

member Jim Graw said the developers should reduce the number of homes

and vary the lot sizes, and possibly include a recreation area devoted

to the new area.

The commission

will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the County Administrative Complex, 140

Stonewall Ave., Fayetteville. The public is invited and public comment

will be accepted on all rezoning proposals.

In addition

to the Whitewater request, on the agenda will be:

Mukut Gupta's

request for a change from A-R, which requires five-acre building lots,

to R-72, which requires two-acre lots, for 40.5 acres on Old Senoia Road.

Gupta plans

to build 18 homes.

A request

from 3D Properties to rezone 8.1 acres on Ga. Highway 54 west from A-R

to O-I (office-institutional) to allow a medical office.

Lynn Fedor's

request for O-I zoning on three quarters of an acre on Hwy. 54 east at

Plantation Drive. Fedor hopes to develop an insurance/financial planning

office.
