Traffic, density concerns lead Mableton to reject 90-home development

This week, the Mableton City Council denied a rezoning request for a 90-home subdivision. The request from David Pearson Communities sought to rezone 23.12 mostly wooded acres at the intersection of Old Alabama, Cardell and Maxham roads for a single-family development. The council denied the application with Councilman Ron Davis absent. Planning and zoning staff also recommended the application's denial due to concerns over the development's too-high density and not fitting the future land use plan. According to attorney Kevin Moore, representing the project, the plan went through multiple iterations before coming to the council for final approval, including reducing the initial 110 home proposal, which included townhomes, until it reached the 90 single-family home version and added a pool and clubhouse. He said various road improvements, including a protected crosswalk, were included in the plans due to increased traffic concerns. A September revised letter listing stipulations for the development restricted the number of rental units to no more than 10% of homes at one time. Previously the developer proposed an option for a 100% rental community, which stirred both community and council concerns. An additional stipulation agreed to give public servants, including teachers, first responders and civil servants cost-reducing

Water releases planned as drought conditions continue in metro Atlanta

Colder temperatures are here in Georgia, and while many might welcome the change from steamy summer days to chilly winter mornings, what the Southeast really needs is rain. The state of Georgia has been under drought conditions this year, despite some smaller periods of heavy rainfall, and it has caused the water levels in the state's reservoirs to drop significantly. Atlanta has received 35.3 inches of rain so far this year, down significantly from the 30-year average, according to the National Weather Service. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a statewide drought response level 1 in April, meaning utilities were required to warn residents about the impacts of drought and ways to mitigate them. Now, state officials are taking the next step to keep Atlanta's water system moving. Army Corps to limit reservoir releases The Army Corps of Engineers manages and operates Buford Dam , the dam at the southern end of Lake Lanier, a massive reservoir about an hour north of Atlanta. The Dam and lake are fed by the Chattahoochee River, and the river continues to flow on the south side of the dam all the way down to Florida. When water levels are low in the reservoir,

Mableton approves installment plan for homeowners struggling to pay new tax

MABLETON — Eligible Mableton homeowners facing financial hardship can pay the city's new public safety tax in installments rather than pay the full amount. The program does not waive tax payment or create exemptions, but allows participants to pay in monthly installments through April 5, 2027, alongside any accrued interest, instead of the Dec. 4 due date. The Mableton City Council passed the installment plan Tuesday in a 6-0 vote with Councilman Ron Davis absent. The council created the tax, set at 4.5 mills, a number used to calculate property taxes, to pay for public safety in the city, including payments to Cobb County for police services, two one-year agreements totaling $22.5 million. The city is also using the fund to establish its own police department by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the program was developed after the city heard citizens' calls for relief. "The bottom line is this hardship relief program was created because of a need that we know citizens have," he said. The city is unable to waive interest payments because it is mandated by the state. According to Finance Director Karen Ellis, the interest on the deferred payments is 10%. The program is open to
