utilities to the area, Warner
Robins or Byron. The land,
while annexed into the city,
is in Byron’s service delivery
area.
City Attorney Jim Elliott
said, “what’s in play here is
a 1996 agreement between
the cities on annexation and
the service delivery area.”
Cowart proposed tabling
the matter so the mayors
could work out the details.
The property may end up
being de-annexed from
Warner Robins, but only if
the owner requests it.
The request has previous
ly come before the council in
June and was sent back to
the planning commission at
the time to address neigh
bors’ concerns.
The city council approved
Ben Allen’s request to annex
and rezone .53-acre tract
south of Ga. 96 near Moody
Road.
The parcel, 318 Hwy. 96,
was rezoned from R-l (sin
gle family residential) to C
-2 (general commercial), is
adjacent to a Planned Use
Development and will be a
part of the commercial por
tion of the development.
Mayor Donald Walker also
announced that Monday’s
city council meeting was the
last one to be broadcast on
Cox Cable Channel 15.
“Next month it will be on
Channel 14,” Walker said.
“It is a very important
part of our local government
for residents who can’t come
out to council meetings.”
The Warner Robins City
Council approved two
expenditures from Special
Purpose Local Option Sales
Tax funds for a traffic light
and sidewalks.
The traffic light is for the
intersection of Davis Drive
and Wall Street at a cost of
$60,000.
The sidewalks will be along
American Boulevard at a
cost not to exceed $50,000.
“There’s a two-block sec
tion where the sidewalk was
left out in the states area,”
said Walker, “down by Tabor,
Alabama and Delaware
where it stops and picks up
again.”

in asphalt prices would have
to increase the bid by $8,600.

acceptable and it would be
re-bid,” Baker said.

LOCAL
PLANT
From page 1A
Havrilla voted against the
otherwise unanimous deci
sion to approve the rezon
ing for the 1.53 acres, over
concerns about the site
plan.
“The issue is how do
you fit a large institution
into a neighborhood, with
out adversely affecting the
property already there. I
am not convinced the power
plant cannot be moved to
another location of the site.
I hope this does not affect
what was one of the best
neighborhoods in Warner
Robins.”
Councilman Terry Horton
said, “L appreciate your con

ion this will have a positive
effect. I think people will be
able to recover much more
on that property.”
Havrilla countered: “I
hope Briarcliff is not devel
oped into offices. It would
be an adverse intrusion into
the neighborhood.”
Mayor Donald Walker
also spoke out. “I have very
much supported Houston
Medical Center and have
seen what can be done to
make it part of the com
munity, he said referring to
the decision to stay in the
city and not move out on
U.S. 41.
“I hope you will use natu

Walker added. During the
pre-council session, Walker
