A large, controversial-proposed housing development in Holly Springs has been shelved. Attorney Parks Huff representing FR-Peachtree LLC withdrew their application at last night’s city council meeting, with Huff indicating the project would not be economically feasible for his client.
The developer had requested the annexation of approximately 86 acres and the rezoning of 108 for 454 age-targeted homes near Ga. 140 and Stringer Road. Council members and residents of the area had expressed concern about the density of the proposed gated community and its potential impact on traffic and government services.
Those concerns led the developer to ask the council to table the proposal at the council’s March 21 meeting. City manager Rob Logan said city staffers and elected officials had been working with the applicant on ways to lessen density, eliminate courtyard model homes and improve offered amenities.
