The developer of a proposed apartment building at the site of a Kroger store on Powers Ferry Road wants more time to refine plans.
An attorney for WC Acquisitions LLC asked for and received a continuance Wednesday from the Marietta City Council, which voted to delay hearing the case until its April meeting.
The Marietta Planning Commission voted unanimously last week to recommend approval of the application for a 322-unit, five-story building and accompanying 485-space parking deck at 1122 Powers Ferry Road, at the southeast intersection of Delk Road.
Garvis Sams said during a council work session that “questions arose today” and that his client wants to work out the contours and positioning of the structures.
He said his client has the support of the Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance, a civic group, and that there’s “no known opposition” to the rezoning despite its intensity (more than 60 units an acre, one of the highest in Marietta city limits).
Later this year Kroger will be leaving the site it has occupied since 1982 for the nearby MarketPlace Terrell Mill, where a superstore is nearing completion.
Sams said in his application that there’s not a retail future for the current Kroger site, which is nearly five acres.
