Councilmember Mr. Phillips briefed the council, saying the city previously declined to opt out under House Bill 581 and is partnering with the county and other municipalities to place the one-cent sales tax before voters. Phillips said the sole purpose of the proposed one-cent sales tax is to reduce ad valorem property taxes and “give a break to our property tax owners.”

The council voted to approve the agreement that will place the FLOST referendum on the November ballot. City leaders said they plan a series of public educational meetings through the fall (labeled “educational” rather than formal public hearings) to explain the measure and how it would affect residents’ property tax bills.

No budget or allocation changes were adopted at the meeting; the action was limited to approving the intergovernmental agreement to place the measure on the ballot.","Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Coweta County and other cities to place a one-cent floating local option sales tax (FLOST) referendum on the November ballot and said it will hold public educational meetings this fall.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6158937,"Council authorizes condemnation option and awards $1.45 million contract for Stillwood/Noonan Crossing roundabout",98,516000,614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5457117-46c00d56eff50d96c830443224e92b9b&start=516&end=614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5457117-46c00d56eff50d96c830443224e92b9b/thumbnail_516000.jpg","/articles/6158937/Georgia/Council-authorizes-condemnation-option-and-awards-145-million-contract-for-StillwoodNoonan-Crossing-roundabout","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6158937-c32707b648fbd33768a61f82c06fc8a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775406019&Signature=SNwdGnNclVB4ZYv-VrTN9gqnyr8h-Rid-Qn1eXApX40iCNZeWrKBzXRWcKXKJ84DAvRjFI-R1Z81140fGzGA8HZO9Yx0YGvoh55Rim1cgeTMP~TmLp7iNgoEXsOOI5zGYCturPAQCgFfqLWszquKowrcwVnS1UZEO1c7hx5AVX4C-5PjfQYp5qImt~JaZFQxiyl9U3sqctg9L-yVa5jK1Ox8moiM6pRZrKCxUy4zlAfs2pCqPIHOa3DEF2io6tH1R9eExxuO1i22oM23m64rRjIqR04WDVguGBEuZT40xZREHrovr7GLgpuzvcZGtcTjbfh3NPnR3M46wlIrldhgJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newnan City Council on July 22 authorized a resolution that would permit the city to acquire remaining property by condemnation if negotiations fail for the Stillwood Drive and Noonan Crossing Boulevard East roundabout project, and later in the meeting awarded the construction contract and associated engineering services.

City staff told the council the long-planned roundabout requires three parcels; the city negotiated and acquired two of the three parcels but could not reach a settlement with the remaining property owner. Staff asked the council to authorize the condemnation order and resolution so the project could proceed if necessary; the council approved the order.

In a separate but related agenda item, the council considered bids and awarded the construction contract to Piedmont Paving in the amount of $1,451,206.68. The council also approved a construction management agreement with the engineer of record, ISE, for $83,500. Staff noted Georgia Power would perform certain work in its franchise area and that Newnan Utilities reviewed the plans. Council discussion included questions about the lighting fixture; staff said the roundabout lighting matches fixtures used at other city roundabouts and that roundabout lighting standards differ from street-post or subdivision-style fixtures.

Council members asked why Piedmont Paving's bid was significantly lower than other bidders; staff said the city’s consultant reviewed Piedmont’s bid and confirmed the pricing as legitimate. The motions to authorize the condemnation option and to award the construction and management contracts carried.","The council approved an order allowing condemnation for a roundabout project at Stillwood Drive and Noonan Crossing Boulevard East and awarded a construction contract to Piedmont Paving for $1,451,206.68 with construction management to ISE at $83,500.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6158941,"Newnan council approves annexation and rezoning for 61-home Roscoe Road subdivision with 35-foot undisturbed buffer",1184,711000,1895000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5457117-46c00d56eff50d96c830443224e92b9b&start=711&end=1895","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5457117-46c00d56eff50d96c830443224e92b9b/thumbnail_711000.jpg","/articles/6158941/Georgia/Newnan-council-approves-annexation-and-rezoning-for-61-home-Roscoe-Road-subdivision-with-35-foot-undisturbed-buffer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6158941-6b0688c272a17367180922f60b90a5fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775406019&Signature=LfmDKrMZJtXFtdIi7p2J3pLPieIwpMIxlzT0y3AE6~g~pnCB5hrpJrBjcexh86dQpdoEDPZ7rTgW~HUEAzlCADFaofSVo5eKMHFK8XxBXdYAW0~AkJBZz~en1iINq5-91XyEPDEzNsm0df6pc6CdPK3kWSUsVWSw1gaIvA-Tk68avo-gLaPKCBMyWAWqs-2OxW4fNqaJZV0hOCwsOxiNqm9Drs6wIsVSo5y-2r7pEvB2nV3g-WUvBcmRHx6v7QIfPBwQrgFfbcDbVwlVu8giTajiuri5zQBV0sfPTvRICDxgPztIOr2eM~v3kIvtQUVzwWcOlfqYbXJR4rHqK7bCqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newnan City Council on July 22 voted 6-1 to annex roughly 21.71 acres and rezone a parcel at 204 Roscoe Road from commercial to RU7, allowing developer Greg Rogers to build 61 single-family detached homes.

City planning staff introduced the request as a combined annexation and rezoning application. The plan submitted to the city shows a total project site of 21.71 acres and a proposed density of about 2.8 units per acre for 61 detached homes. City staff said the project meets seven of eight standards for rezoning and that the city arborist reviewed the tree management plan as meeting minimum requirements.

Council members were told the developer will limit the subdivision to 61 units and provide lot- and model-level information. Staff said the smallest houses will be 2,000 square feet and the largest about 3,200 square feet, with price ranges the applicant provided of approximately $450,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home up to about $620,000 for a 3,200-square-foot home. The planning commission recommended approval 6-0, with conditions including maintenance of a 30-to-40-foot buffer adjacent to the Cashion Green properties, screening along State Route 34 and tree-conservation and landscaping compliance.

During public comment, resident Adam Cash asked that canopy trees be preserved and requested a 35-foot undisturbed buffer to preserve privacy. The council amended the planning commission recommendation to require a 35-foot undisturbed buffer between the development and the adjoining properties where canopy cover exists, and the council also accepted proffered conditions from the applicant for screening: where existing tree cover would not remain, the developer will provide a six-foot shadowbox fence and plant canopy and evergreen trees in affected rear yards. Responsibility for maintenance and replanting of screening materials and fencing will be addressed in the development covenants and restrictions, staff said.

The council then adopted the planning commission report as amended, approved annexation, and approved the rezoning ordinance with the stated conditions. The council record shows the rezoning approval included the 35-foot undisturbed buffer and a limit of 61 units. The vote on the annexation and on the rezoning ordinance was 6 in favor, 1 opposed.

The planning documents and staff presentation described required final plat submittal reflecting combined tracts, compliance with the Tree Conservation and Landscape Ordinance, and that the developer will coordinate screening along SR 34 Bypass. The developer’s representative said the builder will be JR Homes and named a superintendent present at the meeting.

Council discussion included a policy-level exchange about the city’s Future Land Use map (which designates the area as “emerging/missing middle”) and whether the proposed single-family detached product aligned with that designation. One council member said missing-middle housing types—such as duplexes, townhomes or cottage courts—were the intent of that category; applicant representatives and other council members responded that the property’s prior zoning and site characteristics led the applicant to pursue single-family detached homes for this site.

Because the city’s action was an annexation and a change of zoning, future steps include final platting and any building- and infrastructure-permitting review; staff noted utilities and service providers indicated they will meet the projected demands. The council’s approval is limited to the zoning change and associated conditions the council adopted; no final subdivision plat was approved at the meeting.","The Newnan City Council voted 6-1 to annex about 21.71 acres and rezone it to allow 61 single-family detached homes on Roscoe Road and State Route 34 Bypass, imposing a 35-foot undisturbed buffer and other landscaping and screening conditions.","actionData","errors"]
