PTC passes on connecting new subdivision to Tyrone

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.
