Senoia Sewer and Reality

nuk's picture

I guess all the people ranting and raving about WASA sewer expansion outside the city limits missed this article:

http://www.thecitizen.com/~citizen0/node/19001

Instead of the head-in-sand(or elsewhere) knee-jerk, absolute, unequivocal declarations about never allowing WASA outside the city limits, blah, blah, blah....how about some THINKING and not committing to a future act that may warrant consideration at THAT time?

Candidate Hollums very accurately brought up the FACT that now Senoia is going to have sewer capacity much greater than anything ever discussed with WASA/PTC in the past. Hollums showed some guts to bring up a reality that a lot of people seem to be missing over and over. So, some in PTC thought STUPIDLY that "we" can control how much Senoia develops or not by not allowing them to tap into WASA. Gee, that didn't turn out to be the case, did it?

The bottom-line is real simple: an additional revenue source to WASA was axed and now Senoia can develop even more than they would have. Please tell me how this benefits PTC in any way? Do people feel all proud because they stood on "principle" that turned out to be very myopic and of no benefit to PTC?
Are they real happy they can now run on a platform of "no sewer expansion because it allows our neighbors to develop too much" when the last time that theory was put in action, the result slapped them in the face?

From the mouth of an idiot ...

Nuk doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. I grew up in Senoia and my father still lives there.

The city council of Senoia is not known for its high IQ scores. First of all the city doesn't have the funding for the sewer.

Coweta County is looking to the developers to install the systems. Right now, the developers are crying poor and are asking the county to reconsider funding the whole deal.

Most importantly, the citizens of Senoia and Sharpsburg are beginning to understand the consequences of over-development. Two commissioners may not get re-elected because the home folks are getting hot.

Someone needed to take a stand and I'm glad a few in Peachtree City decided to take that step.

You picked the right title for your follow up. Let me know when your recess is over if you want to have a meaningful discussion.

Senoia/Sewer & who is the Idiot?

I also grew up in Senoia... maybe we could meet at Bennett's Beer Joint down by Line Creek & have a beer? Wait, we can't, it was annexed (as commercial) into the town 6 mos ago along w/ a 200 hse subdivision. What I like about this on GA-85 is that it's almost 2 mi outside the city limits. I guess it touches over there on Rockaway.
You are correct about council member's IQ, but they are what they are. They were smart enough to vote themselves pay raises a few years back where they made more than PTC's brain-trust w/ a 10th the pop.

The citizen's council voted to annex a development by the evil Reese out on Hwy 16-w. They are all excited about what they are going to let the movie studio build on the old gin property.
They did stymie a real grocery at 16 & 85, and now they are getting a gas station and MickeyD's on the other side of the road. They did deny them a big dbl arch sign.
So, Who is the IDIOT on here? Maybe you ought to visit your father more often. Check his water bill.
The Senoia permit is going to be what allows Mc-Village to be built.

Wow Bladderq are you going for TDK too?

What's wrong with a movie studio, McDonalds and a gas station?

Like I said previously, I think you're gonna see some turnover at the elected level in Senoia and Coweta County. The people in Senoia don't talk fondly of Newnan and its problems, so don't expect them to embrace over-development either.

bladder & TDK

There is nothing wrong w/ the movie studio development in Senoia, or the Mickey's gas station @ 16 & 85.
Think how much traffic might be taken off Rockaway Rd & 74, if the people in Senoia (Harrelson, Gay, Alvaton, etc) could shop at big grocery at 16 & 85? Little minds in Senoia couldn't see it.
For the record, I've always favored a 2 lane TDK and given the money PTC has spent over the 3 or 4 mayor's admin.'s..still do.
As for elected change, 2 council post in Senoia are un-opposed. Only the mayor is being contested. There have been no elected candidates in Sharpsburg, since Larry Hyde,, never mind. Do you mean some change in the Coweta Co commission? Are they not all Republicans?

PTC has more to worry about in what happens in Senoia, than all the tempst in a teapot the 3 Tyronne bloggers conjure.
