County ponders Senoia annexation request

The Coweta

County Commission deferred action on another annexation request from Senoia

until it receives more information.

County planner

Robert Tolleson told the commission Cameron Development Corporation wants

to annex 45.25 acres just off Rockaway Road to build a subdivision.

The developer

would couple the newly annexed property with an additional 71.5 acres

already in the city to build his subdivision.

Tolleson recommended

the board object to the annexation since the annexation would create a

development that would be 25 percent higher in density than is allowed

under the county's residential zoning.

Cameron Development

wants the property zoned R-40 Open Space in the city, which allows half-acre

lots.

But Tolleson

suggested a mitigative measure that would allow all lots along the common

border of the city to be one acre in size, if they are served with public

water and sewer.

Commissioner

Vernon "Mutt" Hunter, who represents Senoia, wanted to make

it clear that any mitigative measures would only affect property on the

border and not the entire development.

"There's

a lot of misinformation going around about our annexation discussion.

This only concerns the land that borders county property," he said.

A representative

of Cameron told the county he had no problem with any of the mitigative

measures recommended by county officials.

Hunter told

the developer to convey those sentiments to Senoia officials.

Once Senoia

agrees to the mitigative measures, Hunter said, the county would not object

to the development and it could move forward.
