a swamp,” she said. “It’s
undermined the road to the
extent I believe there will be
a cave in.”
Wood, a regular at com
mission meetings, added:
“We’ve been telling you since
1998 this was out of control,”
referring to the annexation
and development. “We need
some representation and
we’re not getting it,” Wood
said. “You don’t even hold
public hearings on this any
more. The cities do, but they
don’t want to hear from us.
We can’t vote for them. If we
could they’d be looking for a
new job.”
Wood also raised the issue
of the Wooden Eagle subdivi
sion again. “You told us no
houses could be built until
it was on city sewer. They’ve
gone and built and sold the
houses.”
McDannald noted county
objections to some of the land
use, but the city still went
ahead with the R-3 (10,000
square-foot lots). The county
had objected to the Planned
Use Development and recom
mended R-l (3/4 acre lots).
Prior to annexation the prop
erty was zoned Residential-
Agricultural.
McDannald said the hous
es in the R-3 development
would have a density of 2.72
per acre and can be only
10 feet apart. She said the
streets would be only 22 feet
wide and questioned if that

attend event
Special to the Journal
Dr. Johnny Gayton has
been invited to participate
in the sth Annual Congress
on surface laser vision cor
rection, which is being held
Friday in London, England.
Gayton, in a release, said
he is pleased that he was
invited to participate in this
international symposium.
During the Congress, he
and other ophthalmologists
are to participate in a debate
over the benefits of sur
face laser treatment verses
LASIK.
Gayton said he “feels very
strongly that surface laser
treatment is safer and gives
better visual results than
LASIK.”
“It is one of the nation’s
foremost components of
the no-blade surface laser
vision correction known as
LASER,” he said.

Evans was the cook at the
New Perry, before she took
a break for family responsi
bilities.
Now, the outgoing, enthu
siastic chef is eager to be back
at the New Perry, where she
plans to have southern food
with a flair.
“It will be traditional,” she
says, “with a little sophisti
cation.”
She’s especially proud of
her shrimp salad and chick
en salad, and says that her
crab cakes and crab and corn
soup have been big favorites.
There’ll be a Georgia ver

She also noted the subdivi
sion also drains through her
property in two places. “I
believe this issue deserves
further consideration and
due deliberation,” she said.
“Perry was unconcerned
since we were not constitu
ents,” she added.
County Director of
Administration Steve Engle
said the county’s objections
were sent to the city and the
one annexation request came
back and received approval
as PUD by the commission
ers. On the other, Engle said,
a letter was sent with con
cerns about a 60-foot setback
buffer off Langston road, as
the county if widening the
road.
Commission Chairmaa
Ned Sanders said, “to the
best of our ability, we try

Sanders added, “we try to
seek an acceptable middle
ground.”
Commissioner Jay Walker
said, “unfortunately we do
not have veto power.”
Commissioner Tom
McMichael said, however:
“We can do something about
the mud.”
“You should see the hole
under the road,” McDannald
said.
When asked by
Commissioner Larry
Thomson about the silt
fence and detention pond
and grassing of the pond,
McDannald said the site had
not been maintained.
She had a solution she said
has been enacted by other
counties, in Virginia and in
neighboring Pulaski County.
“On agricultural land, there
is only one house per five
acres,” she said. “If someone
wants a family compound,
there can be three houses
but the remaining 10 acres
must be greenspace. I think
Houston County ought to
consider that.”
