A dispute over
plans to develop property adjacent to Falcon Field in Peachtree City nearly
turned into parking-lot fisticuffs after last week's Planning Commission
meeting, according to a police report.
The dispute
involves a proposal from Mike and David Rossetti to abandon a taxiway
easement on property where they want to build an office building and warehouse
with a hangar. The plans for the Jet Limo complex call for a retention
pond to be built where the taxiway easement is currently located.
Former Airport
Authority Chairman David Good, who also owns property near the airport,
has opposed abandoning the easement, stating that he wants to insure his
property has access to Falcon Field in the future.
After the Planning
Commission tabled action on the Jet Limo plan at its meeting last week,
Good exited City Hall when he was confronted by David Rossetti, according
to the report.
David Rossetti
admitted to using several expletives during the exchange with Good, but
denied that he raised his fist in a threatening manner towards Good.
Good had told
police that David Rossetti had pulled back his hand as if he was preparing
to throw a punch.
"I was
legitimately concerned something was going to happen," Good told
The Citizen when he was contacted about the incident. "So I reached
for my cell phone and dialed 911."
Good also said
David Rossetti threatened to beat him up.
David Rossetti
could not be reached to comment for this article, although several messages
to his office went unreturned.
No arrests
were made by police after interviewing both parties.
The Planning
Commission had tabled its action on the Jet Limo plans after reviewing
an opinion on the taxiway easement dispute from City Attorney Rick Lindsey.
Lindsey recommended that the commission should not approve the plans until
all four property owners affected by losing that easement sign an agreement
authorizing the development.
Such an agreement
is required if the property is to be developed, according to the original
easement documents, Lindsey wrote in his opinion.
