East Coweta’s first mega-project will next head before Sharpsburg Town Council Nov.6.

Town Clerk Donna Camp said the first reading of the zoning and annexation ordinances to bring the massive development into the town would be at the November meeting.

If the measure passes, a final decision and second reading would be December 4, she added.

Pathway Communities’ Twelve Parks at Sharpsburg would be built along McIntosh Trail, Reese Road and Ga.

The Peachtree City-based developer says the new community will feature 725 single-family homes, 60 townhomes and two commercial tracts. The name stems from the 12 parks that will be scattered throughout the massive development.

Sharpsburg Mayor Wendell Staley told residents at a mid-September town meeting the town had been working with citizens for nearly two years to develop a vision for the town that would incorporate the old town feel with the new growth that was headed to eastern Coweta County.

Pathway officials said property values would rise because of the pristine new development, but residents voiced more concerns about rising property tax bills.

The new community will feature multi-use trails, but only throughout the Pathway community. If Sharpsburg wanted the old part of town to connect to the trails, town officials would have to work with other property owners to provide connectivity, Pathway officials said.

The proposed development features sidewalks on both sides of the street, a clubhouse, a swim complex and tennis pavilion for the residents.

Twelve Parks would also feature 25 percent open space and an assisted living center.

If the rezoning and annexation measures are passed, Pathway officials envision the first residents moving into Twelve Parks in 2008, with a full build-out by 2013.

Pathway — once known as Peachtree City Development Corp. — was the main developer of Peachtree City from the late 1970s through the 1990s. With Peachtree City approaching its build-out, much of Pathway’s development work now is being done in Coweta and other counties.
