County
studies
rezone
Spalding County Com
missioners said they will rule
this week, on whether to rezone
property on Maple drive from
multiple family to single family
use.
The commissioners met with
about 100 residents of the af
fected area in a public hearing
last night at the Spalding
Courthouse.
Owners of the 39.3 acres are
real estate developer Bart
Searcy, Dr. Lucian Tatum, and
Dr. Lamar King. The property
lies between Maple drive and
Windy Hill road and at one time
was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Z.
A. Massey. It is just outside the
city limits.
In July 1970 it was rezoned
from single family, or R-l use,
to multiple family, or R-3. Area
residents asked that it be
changed back to a single family
district. The zoning board also
recommended the change.
Commission Chairman David
Elder said the primary purpose
of last night’s meeting was to
hear objections to the change.
Bart Searcy was spokesman
for the three owners. He said
they plan to build superior town
house type, two and three
bedroom apartments which
would rent for $250 and S3OO per
month. He showed architects’
drawings of the apartments and
said the first 12 units would be
built on two acres of land at
estimated costs of more than
$300,000.
Some of the property could
not be used for building sites as
it is low lying with a creek
running through. Long term
plans call for about 60 units to a
six-acre tract which would open
on Maple drive, not Windy Hill
road.
Searcy said his firm handles
rentals of Parkhill, Grandview,
Childres and Versailles apart
ments and that these apart
ments have not hurt their
respective neighborhoods. He
assured those present that the
proposed apartments would be
compatible to the neighborhood
and would do no economic
damage.
He went over the advantages
of apartment living and said
there would be no rent subsidy
housing. Also he said records
from other apartments show
there are not too many children
living in apartments that would
overcrowd the schools and that
many of the people are more or
less permanent residents.
He said the owners have two
alternatives. They could sell the
land and let someone else
develop it, or they could build
single family houses on all the
land, which would have to be
filled in. He added comparable,
housing could not be put in the
area as, “Who would want to
build a $40,000 house with no
view and near a creek that
sometimes smells?” With
Burglars
hit ranch
The Spalding Sheriff’s
Department is investigating the
theft of two expensive saddles
and other riding equipment,
valued at more than $1,400,
from the Lazy H Ranch on the
High Falls road. The theft was
reported around noon yester
day.
Someone entered the storage
room at the ranch and took two
saddles, five saddle blankets
and four bridles. Numerous
other saddles and equipment
were left untouched.
Deputy Davis Peeples who
answered the call said one of the
stolen saddles was a McLelland
.valued at $750. The other was a.
Billy Cook brand worth about
$450. The blankets and bridles
were said to be worth about
S2OO.
The ranch is owned by an
Atlanta physician and managed
by Burr Hogan. It was formerly
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie
Handley.
FB meet
Thursday
The annual meeting of the
Spalding County Farm Bureau
will be held Thursday at 7:30
p.m. at the new County Office
Building on North sth street
near the county jail.
The special guests will be
Clayton Brown, John Carlisle
and Bob Smalley.
This meeting gives members
an opportunity to learn more
about the Farm Bureau and to
meet candidates.
apartments, that land would not
be used. He said he “did not like
fighting with you all, but we
must either develop or sell. It
is for sale,” he added.
“There is a real need for
superior apartments in Grif
fin.” Searcy said. He told of
several persons who moved
here with Elliott Drugs but had
to go to Jonesboro to find nice
apartments.
He said the owners don’t think
it is legally right to change the
zoning without their consent.
Warren Wells, an Eastern
Airlines pilot who lives on
Windy Hill, was spokesman for
a group of some 300 petitioners
who asked that the land be
rezoned back to single family
use.
He said the entire area is
single family zoned and that
apartments would not be com
patible with the neighborhood.
Wells asked those present
who were in favor of the single
family zoning to stand. All but
the three owners and two or
three persons scattered about
the audience stood.
Georgia Experiment Station
Director Curtis Jackson of
MacArthur drive said he thinks
builders are invading and
capitalizing on something in
dividuals have built up. The
proposed apartment land ad
joins his lot and “I appreciate
the need for apartments here,
but I' fail to appreciate why
those who need an apartment
should want to live in my back
yard,” he said.
Dumas Ponder, a pilot who
lives on McArthur drive, asked
if the owners would build
apartments in the low areas by
using pilings as, he said were
used in the Grandview Apart
ments.
Eugene Rivers of Windy Hill
road said he “bitterly resents
the intrusion of apartments.”
He said he has lived in apart
ments in three sections of the
country and moved into his
present home in the hope the
neighborhood would be of single
family residences.
Jesse Thornton said he was
told 11 years ago, when he
moved to Windy Hill, that the
area was zoned for single
families.
Andy Anderson of Windy Hill
said he has yet to see apart
ments enhance a neighborhood.
He said he also made specific
inquiries before buying his lot.
Gene Robbins of Pine Valley
road said he was concerned
about the traffic problems more
families living there would
create. He brought down the
house when he said seven cars
passed him on the way to the
courthouse and he was
traveling the speed limit.
Louis Thacker, a pilot who
lives on McArthur drive, said
the issue was a moral one, not
business, and asked Mr. Searcy
why he didn’t do something with
the property to benefit the
community. Mrs. Eugene
Rivers interrupted to say she
thought there were vacancies in
all apartments and she wanted
to be convinced of the need of
more units.
Bob Thomas of Maple drive
said he purchased his home this
month and if apartments had
been there he would have
changed his mind.
Ton Gilchrist and Charles
Walker also spoke against the
apartments.
Commissioner David Elder
adjourned the meeting by
telling the group that the
commissioners would meet,
confer with an attorney and
make their ruling this week.
