City Council approves detailed plan for 29 Duran Avenue townhome development

The Marietta City Council held a special called meeting on May 27, 2025, focusing on key developments in the city, including financial distributions and a detailed plan for a new townhome project.

During the Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Committee segment, a proposal was made to distribute funds in a lump sum closer to the time of need for an upcoming event. The motion received unanimous support from the committee members, indicating a smooth consensus on the financial approach.

Following this, the Judicial Legislative Committee convened, where the minutes from the previous meeting on April 29 were approved without any objections. The committee then moved on to discuss the detailed plan for a development project at 29 Doran Avenue. This plan follows the city council's earlier approval of the rezoning for the construction of five townhome units. The committee reviewed the site plan, tree plan, and building elevations associated with the project. Notably, a previously raised concern regarding the passive amenity area was deemed unnecessary after further consideration.

The meeting concluded with no additional items on the agenda, reflecting a productive session focused on advancing city projects and ensuring community needs are met.
