It looks like

Coweta County and Senoia will finally agree on an annexation request.

During Tuesday's

County Commission meeting, the county heard a request from Donovan Gossett

who wants to annex 15 acres on Rockaway Road into the city to build a

single family subdivision.

County planner

Robert Tolleson told the county he would recommend filing an intent to

object because the property in the city's R-40 Open Space zoning would

allow a higher density of development than the county's residential zoning

districts.

But Tolleson

suggested a compromise that would allow lots to be a minimum one-half

acre, as long as the lots are served with public water and sewer.

The planner

also said 50 percent of the tract would have to remain as open space and

any homes bordering the county's property be a minimum of 1,450 sq.ft.

Gossett attended

the hearing and agreed to the compromise offered by Tolleson.

But the County

Commission still had to vote to oppose the annexation until a formal request

comes from the city of Senoia to agree to the compromise.

Gossett appeared

confused, but Tolleson explained the county could not accept Gossett's

offer, unless it came from the city.

Commissioner

Vernon "Mutt" Hunter explained as soon as the city agreed to

the compromise, Gossett would be free to develop the property and the

county would drop its intent to object.

Since Gossett

agreed to the compromise, Hunter said the city should not have a problem

with the agreement.

Gossett's subdivision

would be the latest in the rapidly-expanding Rockaway Road corridor. Hutchinson's

Cove subdivision is well underway, and a sign is now up announcing Steve

Entrekin's subdivision on there busy road.
