Collins Hill Rezoning March 18, 2008 Russell Road

To anyone interested in REZONING at COLLINS HILL and RUSSELL ROAD:

A few select houses on Oak Village Lane and Chantilly Lane recently received written notice of a zoning meeting taking place in early February. The reason only some of the residents were informed is that only residences within 1000 feet of the proposed zoning change have to be informed.

For those of you who have not noticed it, a zoning notice has been put up on the corner of Russell Road and Collins Hill Road. This is the small wooded patch behind the OAK VILLAGE subdivision sign. If the zoning change goes through, the current plan is to put a small strip mall and possibly a gas station in that area.

Currently two abandoned houses are on that property, which will be torn down. According to the documents we were mailed, the original plan was to build the same kind of structure across the street, where the subdivision “The Enclave” is now. However, the zoning change was not approved there and the developer is now suing Gwinnett County. He is trying to make a deal with Gwinnett County to drop his law suit if they agrees to let him build across the street – at the entrance to Oak Village.

In order for us to try and prevent this zoning change, we need to do two things:

1. Attend the Planning Commission Hearing on March 18, 2008 at 7:00 pm
2. Attend the Board of Commissioners Hearing on March 25, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Contact your commissioner representatives and NICELY ask for their support. ( A list can be found if you click the download documents line at the bottom of this page ).

The meetings will be held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center Auditorium, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30045.
