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.
