After losing

its traffic-signalized entrance off Ga. Highway 54, Wynnmeade subdivision

has already changed significantly this year.

But it's in

the future that the big change could be coming, at least if a local developer

gets land near that entrance rezoned to general commercial from its current

residential zoning.

Piedmont Properties,

Inc. has made the request, and the matter will be disucssed at Monday

night's regular meeting of the Peachtree City Planning Commission.

The request

involves 3.165 acres off Hwy. 54 to the east of Wynnmeade Parkway. Plans

submitted as part of the rezoning show three buildings on the property.

The developer

doesn't plan to attach the development to Wynnmeade Parkway unless that

is requested by the subdivision's homeowners association. One of the entrances

would be a right-in, right-out only design off Hwy. 54; another proposed

entrance would be through the proposed "access" road that would

run behind the property and connect with MacDuff Parkway.

Jim Williams,

the city's director of developmental services, has asked Piedmont Properties

officials to meet with representatives of the homeowners association to

narrow down the possible uses for the site. Williams said from the Wynnmeade

residents he has talked to, he gathers that some people there wouldn't

oppose commercial development in the way of a day care center or a bank.

It's a gas

station or restaurant that would be likely to draw some opposition, Williams

said.

Piedmont Properties

is considering donating part of the 3.165 acre parcel to the city anyway

along with the parcel on the opposite side of Wynnmeade Parkway. That

would be done to replace a park area in Wynnmeade that Piedmont wants

to use as part of its new subdivision north of Wynnmeade.

The city has

not yet signed off on such a deal, however.
