A developer's
request for permission to link his under-construction subdivision to a
future subdivision in Tyrone still hasn't been approved by the Peachtree
City Council.
Instead, council
voted last week to take no further action on the proposal until the Tyrone
Planning Commission takes action on it at a later date.
Attorney Doug
Dillard, representing Hyland Developers, said council's earlier concerns
about cut through traffic were addressed through a redesign of the Tyrone
subdivision which includes a stop sign and a turn in the road to slow
traffic.
The subdivision
in Peachtree City is already under construction but it could be a while
before work begins on the Tyrone subdivision.
But councilman
Steve Rapson said cut-through traffic would still be a problem, and he
wasn't sure connecting the subdivisions would benefit Peachtree City residents.
"You haven't
made a compelling argument to me," said councilman Dan Tennant.
Developer Jimmy
Halligan said without the road connection, residents in the Peachtree
City subdivision would not have an amenity package that includes access
to a lake, a pool and a clubhouse.
"If they
say they want it, then let's do it," Mayor Steve Brown said, referring
to his wishes for Tyrone to tackle the matter first.
