It looks like

another battle is brewing on Rockaway Road between Coweta County and Senoia.

The County

Commission rejected an annexation request by the city for a 15-acre tract

on the busy road. The city wants to bring in the tract and zone it R-40,

which allows one-acre homesites.

County planner

Robert Tolleson urged the commission to reject the petition because the

city's zoning would allow a far higher density than the county's zoning

of 1.6-acre home sites next to the property.

But Tolleson

did offer a series of mitigative measures that would allow the city to

annex the property.

The measures

included:

Restricting

the use of property to single-family residential use.

All lots along

the common boundary of the city and the county would be one acre minimum,

if it's served by city water and sewer. If it's served by a septic tank,

it would have to be 1.6 acres.

Each home

would be a minimum of 1,450 square feet

Access to

the property along Rockaway Road shall provide a deceleration and acceleration

lane for safety purposes.

The mitigative

measures were forwarded to city officials for their comments.
