Peachtree City Council approved multiple procurement and land-use items during its meeting Tuesday, including contract awards, an environmental assessment and two zoning variances.
Contracts and funding - Demolition: Council approved awarding the demolition contract for the former animal shelter at 1262 State Road 74 to Brent Scarborough in the amount of $42,255. Staff said the work is funded from 2023 SPLOST projects.
- Kedron Aquatic Center roof: Staff recommended awarding the roof-replacement contract to Roof Technology Partners and identified the project as funded by ARPA dollars; the staff-presented contract amount in the packet was $649,600. During the motion a council member misstated the figure aloud; staff language in the packet and the procurement discussion list $649,600 as the recommended award. Council approved the contract.
- Phase II environmental assessment: Council approved a Phase II assessment at the Flat Creek Outfall (former Wausau plant property) and selected United Consulting as the low responsive proposer at $66,180, with funding coming from the City Manager’s professional-services account.
Donations and consent items Council approved the consent agenda that included a $250 donation from the American Black Belt Academy of Peachtree City and a $1,380 donation from the Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City.
Zoning variances - 127 Loblolly Circle (side-setback encroachment): Applicant requested a 2.5-foot encroachment to accommodate a 12-by-24 garage. Council discussed alternatives (replatting, septic constraints, drainage easement) and approved the variance on a 3–1 vote.
- 196 Westbury Street (fence height increase): Applicant requested a 6-foot privacy fence on a multi-frontage corner lot where the front-plane fence limit is 4 feet. Staff and the applicant presented line-of-sight drawings and argued the proposed location would not create a visibility hazard; the council approved the variance on a 3–1 vote.
Next steps and follow-up Staff noted funding sources and procurement responsiveness in the record and will proceed with contract execution. The items that required council votes were approved; details such as contract start dates, payment schedules and contractor insurance/permitting requirements will be handled through standard staff processes.
