Staff seek neighboring access protection if Old Macedonia Road becomes private

Powder Springs staff recommend protecting neighboring access if Old Macedonia Road becomes privately owned and maintained as part of the proposed development at 2761 Macedonia Road. The applicant would have to grant an access easement for an adjacent property.

Staff also recommend pursuing a connection via Old Macedonia Road to the adjacent property south of the site if that property develops commercially. The road would need to meet public-street standards if city-owned and maintained, or private-street standards if transferred to the applicant.

The September 28 report repeats both access provisions. They are recommended conditions on the linked annexation, rezoning and density-variance requests for the proposed 242-apartment development—not a council decision to privatize the road or approve a connection.
