Hoschton transitions
on trash pick-up
Hoschton will transition
to a new trash pickup ser
vice in the next couple of
weeks.
According to the city’s
social media. Waste Pro's
last day of pickup will be
Jan. 29. The company will
be picking up trash and carts
during that time.
White Oak, the city’s new
trash and recycling vendor,
will deliver new cans to citi
zens beginning Jan. 27. The
process will take 2-3 days to
deliver to all residents.
White Oak will begin
trash pick up on Monday,
Feb. 3.
The city has been with
a temporary waste dispos
al company for several
months. In a “blind review’’
of the bids received for
service, the Hoschton City
Council chose to allow staff
to move forward with ne
gotiations with top choice,
Waste Pro. But the compa
ny later said it did not plan
to move forward with the
contract. The council then
authorized the town attor
ney to negotiate and finalize
the contract with the town’s
second choice, White Oak.
Buffer change on
planners’ agenda
Braselton planners will
consider a request for a buf
fer requirement reduction at
its upcoming meeting.
The Braselton Planning
Commission will hear a re
quest Jan. 27 from Lensned,
LLC, for zoning changes for
a lot at 3705 Village Way in
Liberty Village. Braselton’s
Town Council will hear the
request at its Feb. 6 meeting
with a possible vote the fol
lowing Monday.
Lensned is requesting
a zoning change for the
planned unit development to
amend the required 40-foot
development buffer along
Hwy. 211 to be a 20-foot
development buffer.
“The most recent other
projects on this side of Hwy.
211 like the veterinarian’s
office and dentist have very
minimal buffers — less than
10 feet.’’ according to the de
veloper’s letter of intent. “A
20-foot buffer would still be
larger, but would also allow
for better land use in terms
of landscaping, inter-parcel
sidewalks and driveways.
This would mean that this
request would lead to no
overall adverse effect on the
qualify of the development,
and on the contrary, allow
for a better quality develop
ment in the end.”
