Council approves Kennesaw Battle townhomes detailed plan with conditions on pickleball court
Summary
The Judicial-Legislative Committee reviewed a developer-proposed detailed plan for Kennesaw Battle townhomes. The committee approved the plan with an amended condition: a padded, 4-foot fence around the pickleball court and no lighting for the court.
The Judicial-Legislative Committee approved the detailed plan for the Kennesaw Battle townhome development after addressing outstanding technical and neighbor concerns, including the design and location of a proposed pickleball court.
Staff said earlier issues raised at the May meeting had been resolved: a sanitary sewer easement that previously crossed a tennis court location was adjusted, overhead utilities will be relocated underground and elevations showing four-sided architecture were provided by the developer.
Committee members and the developer discussed the pickleball court’s location, fencing height and potential lighting. An engineering feasibility review presented by the developer found moving the pickleball court into the dog-park area would require an approximately 140-foot retaining wall up to 12 feet high and was not feasible.
After discussion the committee adopted an amended motion approving the detailed plan conditioned on a 4-foot-high fence with padding around the pickleball court and a stipulation that the court not be lighted. The committee also confirmed there will be gated pedestrian access at the stair/top-of-wall area and that gates would provide controlled access.
The amended motion passed on committee consent (record indicated a 3–0 consent for the amended motion). Staff said the developer would proceed with construction documents and required permits.
