A decision on a four-story apartment building on the Chattahoochee River is delayed until Feb. 2 by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
Attorney John Moore said his client Walton Riverbend is proposing the construction of 26 units to replace the 30 lost in a fire.
The apartment complex is on the southeast side of Akers Mill Road and Powers Ferry Road and west of Riverbend Club Drive.
Moore said these units would be “very upscale and expensive” and built closer to the river instead of on the grassy area where the former apartments stood.
Three residents expressed their opposition, concerning increased traffic and construction vehicles.
Moore said Walton Riverbend would pay for the traffic signal if the county approves one.
A signal warrant study will be conducted by the Cobb Department of Transportation, according to the motion by District 2 Commissioner Bob Ott.
