The city of

Senoia got a little bigger Monday night.

The city had

submitted three annexation notices to the county and accepted a compromise

agreement on two of the tracts at the City Council meeting this week.

The first annexation

is for the same 50 acres on Rockaway Road that led the county and Senoia

to the Georgia Supreme Court last year.

The county

said the city could annex the property if the city agreed to maintain

1.6-acre lots on the perimeter of the property that borders the county.

The county

also asked the city to limit the property to single-family homes and allow

the county's planners to examine the preliminary plats for the project.

City Administrator

Leonard Thompson said developer Steve Entrekin agreed with the county's

stipulations and is seeking the city's new "green space" R-40

zoning.

The zoning

allows for a little bit higher density development, but stipulates that

25 percent of the land must be reserved for green space.

Thompson estimates

Entrekin could place 55 homes on the tract.

Entrekin also

has requested annexation for an 80-acre tract farther up Rockaway Road.

He's also requesting green space rezoning for that parcel.

The county

placed the same restrictions on this parcel as Entrekin's other parcel,

and he also agreed with the county's wishes.

The final tract

being considered for annexation is a 100-acre tract near Southern Mills.

The city plans to use the area for a spray field for its newly developed

sewer system.

County and

city leaders were not able to reach agreement on this property, so the

issue heads to mediation.

The council

appointed Mayor Joan Trammell and City Attorney Drew Whalen to represent

the city.

City officials

could not say when the mediation might occur.
