Residents of two subdivisions in northern Peachtree City plan to make known to the City Council at tomorrow night's meeting their concerns over planned apartment and road development in the area.

A petition started by residents in the Belvedere and Sagamore subdivisions related to the proposed Line Creek Parkway and a planned AMLI apartment complex is on the agenda for the meeting.

According to city planner David Rast, residents are not happy with plans for a new apartment complex to be built on the southwest corner of the northern Kedron Drive loop. The conceptual site plan for the complex has already been approved by the city, but residents say they didn't know about the plans beforehand and were not sufficiently informed.

The tract in question, however, has been zoned for multifamily development for many years, even before litigation several years ago relating to other apartment developments and probably before Belvedere and Sagamore were developed, Rast said. Those two subdivisions are about five years old.

“The land use plan has designated that [AMLI site] as apartments for many years,” said Rast.

The same residents also have concerns about possible traffic problems stemming from Line Creek Parkway, which could eventually link with Ga. Highway 74 at the northern Kedron loop.

That is the only place the parkway could end up, if it ever gets to Hwy. 74 at all, because there is only one place that a bridge could be built over the railroad tracks, Rast said.

The city is not allowing any more at-grade railroad crossings — where the road and the tracks are on the same level.

Also on the council's agenda tomorrow night is an appeal by the Peachtree City United Methodist Church of the Planning Commission's ruling on its conceptual site plan, which was approved last month with nearly a dozen conditions.

The church is in agreement with the city on all but one of those conditions, which is the Planning Commission's decision that 25 acres of the proposed 63-acre tract be dedicated for permanent open space.

Other agenda items include another public hearing on a proposed land swap with a resident of Creekbed Court, and a request by Robert House and Bob Adams to lift the moratorium on annexation for a 12.52-acre site on Senoia Road.

An ordinance to adopt and enact a new code book will be considered, as will a bid proposal for a city auditor.
