Staff says proposed roundabout sits on school property; school‑board sign‑off required before item proceeds
Summary
Staff reported that a proposed roundabout in a development plan would be on school property and must be taken to the school board (and a Fulton County board in the transcript) for approval; staff said they will administratively hold the item until that confirmation is received and noted that school capacity for 205 homes was not expected to be exceeded.
A staff member told the body that the developer's plan includes a roundabout located on school property and that the project therefore requires the school's agreement before the plan can progress. The staff member described that Fulton County-level routing is needed for the item to be placed on the relevant board agenda and that the school must take the issue to its school board for consideration.
"...the roundabout that they're proposing that's in the school property, you know. So in order to even entertain that, the next question would be, is the school in agreement with that?" the staff member said. The staff member also said the schools have capacity for the proposed development: "No. That that's still the schools have capacity, so it's not it's not gonna be situation of that that impact we have." The transcript includes a numeric reference to 205 homes when discussing scale.
Because the proposed roundabout and a secondary/emergency entrance are tied to the school's property and consent, the staff member said it was prudent to administratively hold the item until the school board provides feedback. "So we it we thought that it's prudent to kind of administratively hold this until we have that information," the staff member said.
The exchange indicates interagency and school‑board review is required before any final administrative sign‑off; commissioners acknowledged the position but did not direct a different course of action during the meeting.
