Lots less than 3 acres were approved by the City of Milton on Wood Rd recently. Land use policies do not allow a home to be built on less than 3 acres on gravel roads; however, one of these lots fronts onto a strip of asphalt that was put down for safety and dust abatement near Birmingham Hwy. This pavement was never intended to be recognized as a paved road and does not meet Georgia DOT standards and has never been considered a "paved road" rather than a part of the gravel road. We the residents of Wood Rd demand correction of this error made by the City of Milton and a reversal immediately of the status of Wood Rd as a gravel road in its entirety - from Birmingham Hwy to Phillips Circle.

Keep Milton rural, keep and designate Wood Road a gravel road in its entirety. Heike Hinrichs - resident since 1975
Wood Road was gravel when I moved here in 1995. It is still a gravel road today. I walk on gravel and drive on gravel everyday. The small amount of asphalt at the end of Wood Road does not make this a paved road. Please do the right thing and acknowledge this road as a gravel road.
Mistakes happen. Here we are given a rare opportunity to correct a mistake before it irrevocably alters the rural nature of this area and forever changes the nature of the Milton Trail as enjoyed by many.
A key reason for purchasing property on Wood Rd is the allure of the Milton Trail and the rural nature of the road. Don't set a precedent by breaching the long standing, existing zoning requirements.
A fifteen foot of asphalt does not constitute a paved road. Wood Road should be treated as a rural gravel road along its entire length.
Keep Milton beautiful!
Please correct this mistake.

Please DO NOT allow the 2 - 1 acre lots on Wood Road and Birmingham Highway. The "paved" road is barely passable with 2 compact cars let alone horse trailers etc., I blew 2 tires as a pickup truck ran me off the road--there's just NOT enough room. It's not a legitimate paved road, its paved for the safety for the residents. Please, we are pleading with you to listen to the residents, we love this road and the history means the world to the residents and we hate to see it turn into another cookie cutter neighborhood.
