Fayette County has decided not to object to a request by Peachtree City to annex a strip of property along Ga. Hwy. 54 at Sumner Road.

The Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on Oct. 25 to allow the undeveloped 28.3 acres, known as the Bradshaw Family tract, to be annexed into the city, where plans call for it to be rezoned from agricultural-residential to limited-use commercial. The concept plan for the parcel’s development includes construction of 27 single-family homes with access from Sumner Road, plus 4.2 acres of commercial use, 3.5 acres of office use and 9.5 acres of open space.

Two nearby residents questioned the impact of more development on Sumner Road traffic and aesthetics, but Planning and Zoning Director Pete Frisina said the county had not established any basis for objecting to the proposal.
