Committee approves private‑easement entrance for six large lots in Serenity area
Summary
A developer will be allowed to use a single 50‑foot private access easement (with a 20‑foot roadway) to serve six estate lots off Serenity Loop in a waiver approved by the Paulding County committee.
The Paulding County Development Waiver Review Committee approved a request to allow a single private easement to serve six residential estate lots east of the Serenity Loop cul‑de‑sac.
Elite Engineering, representing Serenity Partners / 7 Hills LLC, asked the committee (case 2025-05W) to waive development regulation 1.7 0.3 c to permit one 50‑foot ingress/egress and utility easement with a 20‑foot road to serve six homes on a 30‑plus acre tract. Jonathan Jones said the plan follows residential estate‑lot development rather than a higher‑density rezoning the applicant withdrew last year; lots will range “just under 4 acres to almost 6 acres.”
Jones said the developer intends to build the spine road before final plat and to surface it with a hard material (the developer noted an intent to use asphalt clippings). He said water and sanitary sewer will be extended along the road from the existing Serenity Loop cul‑de‑sac and that an HOA and covenants will be recorded to require maintenance. Jones confirmed the proposed lots will not be subdivided further and said the developer will record restrictions to that effect in the covenants.
Several residents asked questions about location, traffic and proximity to existing homes; one neighbor noted the proposed estate lots would be deep woodlots that would not be visible from some existing houses. Committee members asked about the creek crossing and site grading; the applicant said the crossing will require a costly pipe and fill operation and that construction drawings will show the design.
The committee voted to approve the waiver unanimously. The applicant will submit construction drawings for the spine road and record HOA covenants and maintenance agreements prior to final plat recording.
