We, the undersigned, ask the Cobb County Board of Commissioners to DENY Rezoning Application Z-114, which seeks to rezone 69 acres on Dallas Hwy at County Line Rd from R-30 to R-20/OSC.
Z-114 also proposes a reduction in lot sizes from 30,000 Sq. Ft to 15,000 Sq. Ft. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with R-30 zoning surrounding the subject property and the entire area of Dallas Hwy.
The proposed density and lot size will destroy the look and feel of the area around Midway Rd and Dallas Hwy and will set the precedence for more rezoning of this nature in the immediate area surrounding this development
Increased density (132+ homes) also will have a negative impact on property values and quality of life of in surrounding neighborhoods by increasing traffic congestion and overcrowding public schools.

Seeing the count climb this high feels surreal because I honestly doubted anyone would care as much as I do. This fight is draining but knowing so many of you are with me makes the burden feel a little lighter.

Please leave the zoning as is. Traffic is a big issue in this area. Increasing the population by dividing the land into smaller parcels, will make a bad situation, worse.
I am STRONGLY against changes in zoning! We moved to this area to get AWAY from wall to wall houses. Please consider the residents that have been here for decades.
Smart growth, please. Stick to the plan and think of taxpayers who moved here for how it is, not for how a greedy developer sees it.
Please deny this and any West Cobb rezoning. It really is ridiculous how out of control this is. Infrastructure hasn't changed enough to warrant the changes --- leave them as is! Not impressed by the commissioners.
There is so much traffice in this area already. We do not need more.
Traffic is already so congested in this area. Please don't cram more houses into our community.
We moved to West Cobb because we did not want to live in the congestion of East Cobb. Please find another way other than new properties for additional taxes to finance the new Braves stadium. Generating new properties has a major impact on the entire infrastructure which far surpasses any benefit of additional taxes to help pay for the new stadium.

Perhaps the description can be changed. As of 12/28/2016 the average lot size is 10,400 sq. ft. and the minimum lot size is 10,000 sq. ft. There are a few interior lots that are larger. Also, they are asking for 108 homes which is still twice the number of homes had they stayed with the R-30 zoning.
