Residents rally against Oaks subdivision replat proposal

In a recent public hearing held by the city of Roswell, key procedural steps were confirmed regarding a proposed replat of the Oaks subdivision. The meeting, which adhered to state law requirements, included a notice published in the Roswell Daily Record at least 15 days prior, and notifications sent via certified mail to property owners within 100 feet of the area under consideration.

The planning and zoning office reported receiving one email regarding the street name Blue Spruce and another request for covenants related to the case. Additionally, a petition opposing the replat was presented, containing 84 signatures from residents, with five duplicates representing 55 properties, including those in the EtC and Sorento subdivisions.

The petition calls for halting the replat and any approval of additional units until a comprehensive risk assessment is conducted. This assessment aims to identify potential hazards in the area, such as high traffic zones and blind spots, and evaluate the associated risks. The community's concerns reflect a growing demand for thorough evaluations of development impacts on local safety and infrastructure.
