After reducing the number of homes and deciding not to develop on one side of a creek, a residential developer on Tuesday got approval for a 91-unit subdivision on Sandy Plains Road near Kincaid Elementary School.
Following a recommendation by the Cobb Planning Commission, the Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve rezoning of 19.68 acres on Ross Road from rural residential (RR) to RA-6, a medium-density zoning category.
The land is undeveloped property across from the intersection of Sandy Plains and Scufflegrit Road.
Toll Southeast LP Company, Inc. originally planned 105 single-family detached homes in the RA-6 category, next to similarly-zoned neighborhoods in the county and City of Marietta (case filings here).
But opposition surfaced from the adjacent St. Charles Square subdivision for traffic and runoff reasons. The land includes Little Noonday Creek, and other concerns included a number of variances.
The application was held for a month and the Planning Commission earlier this month recommended many of the changes that came before commissioners Tuesday.
That included stipulations for lot sizes ranging from at least 4,000 square feet to 7,000 square feet and beyond, and and impervious surface maximum of 40 percent.
The homes will be at least 2,600 square feet and the neighborhood will feature a mandatory homeowners association and privately-maintained streets.
No one spoke in opposition Tuesday; commissioner Keli Gambrill was absent.
