Two annexation requests got

the green light last week from the Fayette County Commission.

The first request came from

Fayetteville, who wanted to annex 39 acres at the intersection of Redwine

and Price Roads. Greater Atlanta Construction Company wants to develop

a residential subdivision at the site.

In July, the applicant requested

annexation for 17 acres for a high-rise townhome community featuring 72

units, but was turned down.

But in November, an addition

22 acres was added to the plan and the zoning requested was changed to

single family homes on one acre lots. The developer plans to build 35

homes on the site.

County zoning director Kathy

Zeitler said the new zoning request is consistent with the county's land

use plan for low density in the area and said the staff did not have an

objection to the annexation. The commission voted unanimously not to object

to the annexation.

The second request came from

the town of Tyrone. Tyrone asked to annex nearly 98 acres of Coastline

Road for a subdivision.

John Wieland Homes asked for

the annexation because it currently has a subdivision surrounding the

parcel and would like to see all of the subdivision in the same municipal

jurisdiction and allow all services to be provided by Tyrone.

The commission unanimously

voted to let the property be annexed into Tyrone.
