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.
