Officials for

John Wieland Homes want to modify the layout of townhomes in its new Centennial

subdivision, which is already under construction off the northern end

of MacDuff Parkway in west Peachtree City.

Citing a change

in market demand, company officials want to replace a cluster of 35 townhome

units it had earmarked for the east side of the MacDuff Parkway with 16

single-family detached lots. The company wants to "make up"

the lost number of units by reconfiguring two of its three other townhome

areas, John Wieland Homes representative Ed Woodland told the Peachtree

City Planning Commission at its meeting Monday night.

There is also

a chance that the company may approach the city about further changes

to its townhome plans, Woodland said. Customers are more interested in

townhome floor plans that feature master bedrooms on the main floor instead

of the three-story townhomes the company is offering in three different

areas of the subdivision, he said.

The entire

property is limited to no more than 350 homes as a condition of the property

being rezoned over a year ago.

The commission

tabled the matter, deciding to wait for full details of how the two townhome

areas would be reconfigured. Woodland said the company would be ready

for another presentation at the next planning commission meeting in two

weeks.

In other business,

the commission approved the conceptual site plan for the Centennial subdivision's

amenity area, which includes two tennis courts, a pool area and meeting

space. The commission asked Woodland to work with the city to reduce the

number of paved parking spaces from the current 40 spaces for automobiles.
