Marietta Advances 90-Home Development

The City Council committee has advanced a site plan for the second phase of a 90-home project called The Village at Sandy Plains, with a unanimous 3-0 vote.

This development, spearheaded by David Pearson Communities, spans 15 acres near Kincaid Elementary. The first phase, already approved in April, includes 41 homes. The second phase will complete the project with 49 more homes.

Council member Cheryl Richardson has emphasized concerns about driveway lengths and parking access. The developer has assured that only 27 homes will have driveways shorter than 20 feet and will specify their locations.

In terms of environmental considerations, the developer plans to retain existing evergreen trees and will plant additional canopy trees. They have also committed to contributing to the city’s tree fund.

The Council’s final vote on July 10 will hopefully bring more clarity and collaboration between the developer and the council.
