Vanquish Property Partners LLC plans to build homes priced from the $500,000s on 9.6 acres between the Ashley Hall and Brandon Park subdivisions. Lots will be a minimum of 15,000 square feet.
“We believe this subdivision is in keeping with surrounding areas,” said lawyer Kevin Moore, who represented Vanquish.
Trish Steiner, of the East Cobb Civic Association, said her group had worked with Vanquish to alleviate concerns.
“We feel confident they will build a quality subdivision,” Steiner said. “They truly are concerned with maintaining the quality of life in the area, and we wish them great success.”
Nearby resident B.J. Brett, who maintains a stream that runs across his property and some land in the future subdivision, said he is concerned about erosion.
“More water will be discharged into the area due to this subdivision,” Brett said.
Commissioner JoAnn Birrell, whose district includes the proposed subdivision, said she asked the county’s erosion control director to review the stream and perhaps offer suggestions.
“The county can’t go in and do anything on private property, but he may have some ideas,” she said.
Also Tuesday, commissioners approved a request from Steak Properties LLC to add 61 parking spaces next to the Cherokee Cattle Company restaurant on Canton Road.
Carol Brown, of the Canton Road Neighbors group, told commissioners it was a good plan “that represents the intent of the original zoning.”
Birrell asked that security lighting be installed in the new parking lot for safety, and that the paving be done within 90 days.
Commissioners continued for another month the special land use permit request by Rittner Nesbitt for his 140-foot amateur radio antenna tower off Burnt Hickory Road.

...now,.. let's compare,.. how much revenue will the Race Trac gas station bring to Smyrna??
...how 'bout the smoke shop, or the 'we buy gold' shops???
Yes sir,... an informed citizen is a danger to Smyrna!!
I actually love diversity & multiculture!
ALL Smyrna is , is POOR! If all your city does is expand poverty, you don't get much in return!!
FYI- Alpharetta's new $600,000 million dollar, 86 acre mixed use, Avalon will bring 4,000 jobs to north Fulton!! JOBS- what Smyrna DOESN'T HAVE!!
There will be 559,000 sq ft retail, 800 luxury rentals, 101 single family priced from $400,000-$1.7 million, 750,000 class A office, 85,000 loft office, 300 room 4 star hotel, & 175 room boutique hotel.
Now THAT's an economic development plan!!
..again,....WHAT has Max done for Smyrna in 26 years?? answer-- NOTHING!!!
Brilliant economic plan!
Watch the new office buildings in Alpharetta being built, to go along w/ their new town square & the Avalon development- see Norcross/Duluth/Suwanee add to their corporate companies & manufacturing list! Oh, and go check out the Forum in Norcross- ain't so poor no mo'! They WORKED at it!!!
Watch Brookhaven secure their city w/ businesses, quality companies, shopping districts & higher house values.
What are those cranes in Buckhead & Midtown??
Smyrna,..just a bunch o hillbillies stealing our tax money for their cronies!
The only quality of life in that area should be for deer and racoons, as they need not pile into a car and go places such as work, school, the market, etc.
IF YOU WORK IN THE CITY DON'T LIVE IN THE COUNTRY! YOUR "QUALITY OF LIFE" EXISTS ONLY IN CAR COMMERCIALS, BUT YOU ARE NOT SEXY OR HAPPY LIKE THE CAR COMMERCIAL ACTORS!
DID ANYBODY LIVING IN EAST OR WEST COBB PAULDING EVER STUDY THE SUICIDE RATE OF PEOPLE WITH BIG BOX MCHOUSES AND VERY LONG CAR COMMUTES? IT'S INSANELY HIGH! AND THE MURDER-SUICIDE RATE IS EVEN HIGHER! DON'T DO IT!
I-75 is the dividing line.
Smyrna approved a new subdivision Monday nite. What should be a higher standard, being right in the center of the one historic neighborhood, Williams Park,.. Smyrna has set the bar SO LOW, the homes will be rather large homes starting in the mid 200's.
And the mayor tells the developer that was there from Sandy Springs,.. maybe he could 'dream' of living in Smyrna one day.
A mayor for 26 years on the northside of Atlanta,... and doesn't know the difference in highrises attracting Fortune 500 companies,... and a Race Trac gas station!!
You know, I don't know if the mayor is just uneducated,.. or what,.. but w/ so many peoples house values on the line in Smyrna,.. I want my mayor to at the very least,.. be INFORMED.
Obviously, the folks in Smyrna like the motto 'Smyrna,.. keepin' it poor'!
Glad I moved out of the area of the county.
