Airpark Subdivision
Drawing Opposition
Peachtree City, has a contract
By Bryan Ctr
More than 20 local resi-
dents showed up at the coun-
ty planning board meeting
Thursday morning to voice
their opposition to the newly
proposed airpark and subdi-
vision located on the Corinth
Road and Norwood Road.
Lexington Airpark is a 62-
lot residential subdivisiorL
, The development would
have a grass runway for light
aircraft and hangars at most
residences.
The homes Would sell
between $250,000 and
$400,000.
noise seemed to the prob-
lem with most of the resi-
dents who oppose the new
development.
John Cranston said he
opposed the because
of the noise, but had no prob-
lem with the homes.
Another resident, Randy
MeWorter, said he gave the
planning board a petition list
with 145 names on it oppos-
ing the measure.
Developer Wayne Sutton,
president of Construction
Service Associates in
to purchase 161 acres from
Claude Raptis of Grantville,
contingent on 40 acres being
rezoned from residential to
agricultural.
The planning board rec-
ommended the rezoning be
approved by the Troup
County Commissioners by a
5-1 vote Wesley Duffey cast
the lone vote against the
rezoning.
If approved by the com-
missioners, the developer
will have to go before the
planning board on June 13 to
get permission for the air-
field, which is a conditional
use in agricultural zoning.
Sutton said under the cur-
rent zoning, the property
could be developed for 125-
130 single family residences
on one-acre lots.
He added that this would
create more traffic, noise and
activity for the local people
than what the 62 we're pro-
posing.
Sutton added that
Lexington Airpark will gen-
erate more tax base to the
county and it will be an asset
to the county and not a liabil-
ity.
