Tires Plus clears another hurdle, waiting on design guidelines before creating final site plan

There will be a Tires Plus by the Wal-Mart and Home Depot in Peachtree City, and construction could start as early as late this summer or early fall.

Though the Peachtree City Planning Commission approved the conceptual site plan for Tires Plus at Monday's meeting, RAM Development, the owners of the property, will have to come back before the commission after design guidelines for all property within the Ga. Highway 54 West corridor are completed.

Tires Plus will be a 7,280-square-foot building with a 3,700-square-foot building attached and 52 parking spaces. Tires Plus will be the initial development of several buildings in the area and they will all be tied together with an access road. City Planner David Rast also explained that Tires Plus will have a storm drain system that will aid the Chevron station next door which does not. The Chevron station, which is currently on a septic system and has septic fields that flood when it rains, will tie in to the sewer which Tires Plus and the new buildings will be on.

The Planning Commission thinks that the Georgia Department of Transportation will start moving dirt late this summer as the Hwy 54 widening project will begin and would like for construction to start at around the same time.

RAM Development will continue working with the Hwy. 54 West Advisory Board to come up with design guidelines for the Ga. 54 West Corridor. It was estimated at Monday's meeting that the guidelines will be completed within the next two months.
