Hoschton City Council approves two final plats, an IGA amendment and a Planning & Zoning appointment
Summary
On June 11, 2026 the Hoschton City Council approved final plats for Tribute Phase One and Crestwind Phase 7B, accepted a lift-station dedication, renewed a civility resolution, approved an IGA amendment concerning Yukon Drive, and confirmed Jason Martin to the Planning & Zoning board; several signatures were held pending receipt of fees and a warranty deed.
On June 11, 2026, the Hoschton City Council met in a combined work session and regular meeting and voted to approve two residential final plats, accept a lift-station dedication tied to one plat, renew a city civility resolution and amend an intergovernmental agreement with the downtown development authority (DDA). The council also confirmed Jason Martin for a Planning & Zoning seat after the advisory board voted 6–1 to recommend him.
Council staff presented the Tribute Phase One final plat and told the council the project’s associated lift station will be dedicated and accepted in August; staff recommended allowing the mayor to sign the plat paperwork now while holding other required signatures until the city receives a maintenance-fee payment and final acceptance documents. Mr. Jenkins, who the record shows as representing Tribute, was present for that discussion. The council approved the final plat by voice vote while staff agreed to withhold final signatures until the outstanding paperwork is provided.
The council approved Crestwind Phase 7B’s final plat after staff reported the plat had completed technical reviews but a warranty deed was still outstanding and expected within days. Councilmembers and staff agreed to permit the mayor to sign pending receipt of the warranty deed and to withhold the remaining signatures until the deed is delivered. The council also approved resolution 2026-17 to accept the Crestwind Phase 7B lift station, on staff recommendation.
Council members voted to renew resolution 2026-18, the city’s periodic civility resolution, which staff said had last been adopted in 2024. The council also approved an amendment to the IGA with the DDA to add Yukon Drive to the properties the city will maintain; staff explained the DDA will continue to manage leasing while revenue from properties under the IGA is remitted to the city because the city performs maintenance.
On the Planning & Zoning appointment, an alderman spoke in favor of confirming Jason Martin, arguing that household relationships alone should not disqualify volunteers and noting Planning & Zoning is advisory. "It's kind of rare to find somebody who's dedicated, enthusiastic, willing to serve as a volunteer," the alderman said, urging the council to accept the board's recommendation. Staff confirmed the Planning & Zoning board voted 6–1 in favor of the appointment. The council approved the appointment by voice vote.
Minutes for May 14, 2026 (public hearing, work session and regular session) were approved with a clerical correction to accurately reflect JJ Oxley’s attendance. Council opened the public-comment period; no members of the public spoke during the allotted time. The meeting concluded after the council completed votes and adjourned.
Next steps: staff will obtain the outstanding warranty deed and maintenance-fee documentation and then complete any required signatures or filings associated with the plats and the lift-station dedication.
