Opposition of the proposed rezoning of the past “Dunn property”

Friends,
I am contacting you with information of the proposed rezoning of the past “Dunn property” currently owned by Cherokee County. This property is currently zoned as residential (R-20). The proposal is to change the zoning to light industrial (LI). Listed below are a few concerns community members have about this proposal.

1. This commercial development will be at the headwaters of a tributary that flows through Westwood Station and then through Clark Creek Elementary School (CCES) and then into Clark Creek. Then empties into Lake Allatoona.

2. Light Industrial should remain on the North side of Hwy 92 throughout the Cobb County entrances. The South side has maintained a residential population.

3. Cherokee County has invested in the Clark Creek ES STEM Academy, Community members would prefer to foster residential growth in this area.

4. Cherokee County bought the property previously known as the “Dunn property” and earmarked it for Parks and Recs, but now selling for a profit? Below is a link of the originally proposed Southwest County Park. Go to page 47 of this document and view the original intent of this purchase.
