The Fayetteville City Council passed a rezoning request at its monthly meeting last Thursday.

It came from Brent Scarbrough to rezone 18.98 acres located at Ga. Highway 314 and White Road. It was changed from C-3, Highway Commercial, to DR-15, One and Two Family Residential homes. The development will be the site of the 60-home Grove Park subdivision, slated for marketing to home buyers 55 years and older.

The new ordinance classification became effective immediately conditioned upon six exceptions: development as a PUD with single-family detached homes; a minimum house size, 1,800 square feet; minimum lot sizes, 6,600 square feet and minimum 60 feet width; architectural style and design based on the exhibit of sample houses submitted; a detention pond in the Neal’s Trace subdivision will be constructed only if necessary, and if necessary, it will be constructed with a minimum 2 percent slope and not be used for stormwater quality treatment; and the developer will make every effort to utilize rear or side loading garages. Where frontloading garages are utilized, they are required to have single bay doors.

Developer Bob Rolader, of Scarbrough & Rolader, said at a previous meeting that lot prices would start at approximately $65,000 with homes ranging from $250,000-300,000.

Matters on the consent agenda include donating police light bars to the City of Senoia. City Manager Joe Morton also said that he had spent quite a bit of time with the Georgia Department of Transportation regarding changing the timing of the lights at Highways 54 and 85, and Stonewall Avenue and Highway 85. He indicated that it would be some weeks before any final decisional would be made.

Morton also announced that City Planner Eldridge Gunn had been promoted to planning and zoning director.
