Final plats for the Avalon

Subdivision and Trotter's Farm Estate, Phase II were approved unanimously

at Fairburn's City Council meeting Monday night.

The 77-acre Avalon subdivision,

located west of Ga. Highway 138 and south of Vicker's Road will contain

214 residential lots. More than half, or 112 lots, will house attached

units and the remaining 102 lots will be for detached units. Council inquired

about sufficient entrances for the planned subdivision and were told that

there would be three in all, two off of Vicker's Road and one off

of Hwy. 138.

Trotter's Farm Estates

Phase II is located on the east side of Fayetteville Road between U.S.

Highway 29 and Interstate 85. The subdivision is comprised of 32 lots

and is zoned R-2 Residential. At their Feb. 3 meeting, the planning commission

approved the final plat and recommended approval. Mayor Betty Hannah inquired

about the conservation of wildlife.

"What happened to the

beaver's house?" she said.

She was assured that 22 acres

were being set aside for nature preservation.

Questions concerning entrance

and exit requirements were quelled after it was pointed out only one exit

is required for every 200 units. The City Council passed the request unanimously

with the understanding that several minor punch list items still outstanding

would be completed.

An aerial photography contract

for $26,000 was awarded to Picket and Associates who will photograph the

city within the next 30 days before spring growth blankets out ground

details. The constant series of pictures are woven into a panoramic view.

The end result is used to create engineering drawings of the town.
