The Peachtree City Planning Commission met Monday night and approved

a landscape plan for an Eckerd on Ga. Highway 74 South and a conceptual

site plan for a Newnan-Coweta Bank at Lexington Circle. A request to

extend the Temporary Use Permit for Modular Trailers at Landmark Christian

School/Braelinn Baptist Church was tabled because a representative from

the church/school was not present at the meeting.

The Eckerd will be located at the Wilshire Pavilion retail center at

Hwy 74 South and Holly Grove Road. Based on the total impervious area

of 86,684 square feet in the 2.3-acre parcel, the landscape ordinance

requires the provision of a minimum of 86 canopy trees and 86 understory

trees. It was also reported that during the pre-clearing and subsequent

grading grading of the site, city staff and the contractor were able

to preserve vegetation within the tree save and landscape buffer originally

planned for removal.

The Newnan-Coweta Bank, a 1.72-acre parcel located at the intersection

of Ga. Highway 54 and Park Place, will feature a two-story office building

and two story bank building. The city's parking ordinance requires

a minimum of 28 parking spaces for this development and the development

was seeking a total of 57 parking spaces. The site plan was approved

on conditions that the developer work with city staff and a planning

commission representative to try to determine if some parking spaces

could be eliminated and also that the developer make sure that the site

plan and building conform to the Covenants and Restrictions adopted as

part of the overall Lexington Park development.

The planning commission will meet June 28 at 7 p.m. and will discuss

proposed amendments to the landscape and tree Preservation ordinance

and changes to zoning, land use and design guidelines for properties

on Huddleston Road in workshop formats at that meeting.
