It's moving time for the Blue House

After nearly

three months of community furor, the resolution came quietly in the saga

of the "Blue House" in Senoia Monday night.

The City Council

voted unanimously to allow Chuck Smith to sell his home for $1 and let

BellSouth use the property for expansion of its facility in the growing

east Coweta town.

Councilman

Robert Belisle's initial motion stipulated the house could not be moved

until BellSouth had submitted a site plan for its structure and a foundation

was built to place the Blue House on solid footing.

Belisle also

said a property bond would have to be bought in case the house did not

survive the move.

But after the

motion was passed, Smith asked for clarification. He planned to sell the

house to home renovator Jan Davis, who wants to move the home to another

lot in historic Senoia.

Davis said

when homes are moved, they are usually placed on blocks until the right

site on the property can be found for the foundation.

Belisle said

he had no problem amending his motion as long as the move is done correctly

to protect the home.

With the unanimous

vote on the motion, one of the more contentious periods in recent political

history in Senoia came to an end with all sides seemingly satisfied with

the results.
