A Peachtree City woman presented the City Council with a petition Thursday night urging the city to make significant changes to the proposed annexations for the West Village area.

Lynda Wojcik said the petition asks council deny the annexation proposals from John Wieland Homes and Levitt and Sons until the density mirrors the property’s current density under zoning for the unincorporated county: one home per two acres.

Wojcik said while the 158 signatures were a small portion of the city’s 38,000 plus residents, she hoped Council would take the matter seriously.

“We do not like this increased density that we’re seeing,” Wojcik said, adding that most of the 158 signatures were not from husbands and wives, from the same household.

John Wieland Homes wants to build 546 single family detached homes and 335 attached townhomes on its 379-acre tract and an additional 79-acre parcel it owns that’s already in the city but currently zoned for general industrial use. Wieland also has added a 5.7-acre neighborhood retail center with approximately 15,000 square feet to its request, in part at the request of the Atlanta Regional Commission. Wieland is calling its project “Connector Village.”

Levitt and Sons wants to build a senior housing community with 752 single-family detached homes on its 400-acre parcel. Only 260 acres of the tract will be developed, with the remainder composed of open space, greenspace, floodplains, wetlands and streams. The company is calling the project “Seasons at Peachtree City.”

Between both of Wieland’s parcels, the company projects the projected build-out population would be approximately 2,600 residents. Levitt anticipates its build-out population will be 1,143 residents, for a total population addition of 3,743.

The Fayette County Commission won a legal battle to preserve the two-acre minimum lot zoning for some of the land Wieland is requesting to annex. Pathway Communities, the previous land owner, lost its lawsuit which sought a rezoning to minimum lot sizes of one acre.
