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.
