Fairburn's proposed annexation

requests for the Harris tract on Plantation Road and the Stephens tract

on GA 74 have been objected to by Fulton County.

The Fulton County Board of

Commissioners placed a bona fide land use objection to the annexations

and zoning. In order to alleviate the objection, the city of Fairburn

shall require lots abutting unincorporated Fulton County to be no more

than two an acre.

The Harris property is a 28-acre

site located on the southeast corner of Plantation Road and Harris Road

and the Stephens Tract is a 2.9 acre site at 8480 Georgia Highway 74 next

to Kaiser Chiropractic.

Until mediation can take place

to resolve these objections, the public hearings by council will need

to be continued. They recommend continuing both scheduled public hearings

for 30 days by March 24, 2003.
