We the undersigned, oppose Z-114 (2016) proposed 108 home Open Space Community on the 67.7 acres on the corner of Bob Fleming Rd and Dallas Hwy.
Per Staff Analysis, 72 homes could be built, which the undersigned could support on lots that are situated to the Intent of the OSC code with no variances to rear or side setbacks. Minimum lot sizes of 15,000 sq. ft. is compatible with Madison Woods subdivision.
Due West Elementary and Lost Mtn. Middle School are over capacity and Harrison High School has a parking issue even though not at capacity.
We request that the Board of Commissioners follow the OSC Code without variances and allow the land to be developed with a maximum 72 units as recommended by Staff.

I have been busy meeting with neighbors to review the recent staff analysis regarding the density concerns at the Bob Fleming site. Please call your district commissioner today to demand they stick to the seventy-two unit limit. Do not let them approve extra homes that our local schools cannot handle.
March 16, 2017
We hit a new level of momentum that makes it impossible for the Board of Commissioners to ignore our concerns about the Z-114 site. Now is the time to turn this pressure into action by emailing your representative to demand they honor the staff recommendation of 72 units. Post this link on your neighborhood Facebook page and text three friends to get them to join our push today.

Please do NOT approve Z-114. The roads are becoming impassible, all of Cobb Cty school system is over capacity, and yet we keep approving zoning requests THAT ONLY BENEFIT THE DEVELOPERS/BUILDERS. Our quality of life in West Cobb is going away thanks to all this over-development. It's hurting the tax payer citizens to benefit the builders. Please do not approve this at 108 homes. Per your staff, 72 homes could be built and would be supported by the community. We don't say "no" to the development just NO to the overage that continually is being approved by the commissioners.
Due West ES is a wonderful small school. Overcrowding and trailers hinder learning and certainly do not improve the community.
I live in the Sweet Pine Creek subdivision, and have children that are in the neighborhood schools. We vote no for this!! This area is not designed to handle the increase in traffic or population!
Sweet Pine Creek resident near development. This development is not in keeping with commissioners plan and negatively impacts my home value and quality of life.
Many subdivisions going up in West Cobb are more dense than originally zoned. Z-114 might be one of the most densely planned subdivisions with 10,400 square foot lots.
West Cobb is becoming unliveable. The roads and schools need to catch up to all the growth before any more growth is even considered. We need a moratorium on re-zoning.
Please learn from the grid lock and over development of East Cobb County and do not allow this to happen in West Cobb!

Developers should not be able to lower the density by including unbuildable land such as creek buffers etc! That is doublecounting.
