We don't have a problem with that. That's what we are doing. Commissioner Bob Fulton, who represents the area, led the charge to its defeat last September. This time he can only watch. While Fulton can't stop the development, he may be able to derail a planned private sewage treatment plant developers hope to build.
Commissioners have a policy against sewer lines in northwest Fulton County.
Neighbors fear allowing a sewer plant will allow developers more density inside the community. Also, they worry sewage treatment could spread outside its borders bringing more smaller lots. Some contend the plant would need rezoning because it would not fit as an agricultural use. The plant, McDonald said, would treat sewage from the neighborhood only and provide treated water back to the golf course and homes for irrigation. Developers already have applied for state approval.
