across Langston Road
from their home which has
already been annexed into
Perry and approved for the
building of 92 homes.
According to the defi
nition of Planned Unit
Developments, over 43 per
cent of the farmland sched
uled to become the Notting
Hill subdivision, would be
undeveloped.
However, the objection of
surrounding property own
ers to PUDs is the density
of homes being built on the
developed land.
“The roads and the rest of
the infrastructure are just
not adequate,” McDannald
says. “We’re concerned
about septic tanks and sew
age leaks, and about storm
water drainage. Perry’s just
not prepared.”
With annexation. Perry
will provide sewage service
to the houses being built.
Houses in the area currently
have septic tanks.
“Sewage is the show stop
per,” says Mary Lynn Dukes,
referring to the dynamics of
growth in the county. “Perry
provides it. Warner Robins
provides it. Houston County
doesn’t. “
“When septic tanks need
pumping, the options for
where to take the stuff are
narrowing,” she said.
She and others agreed at
the meeting that the time
may be coming when sep
tic tank service won’t be
available in their part of the
county.
McDannald is also con
cerned that with the rapid
real-estate development of
Langston, tax assessments
could go up, and those who
already live along the road
could find themselves with
higher property tax bills.
Mike Stanley, an engineer
at Robins Air Force Base,
expresses two concerns.
