Peachtree City grants stormwater variance

As construction of the Cresswind and Everton subdivisions in Peachtree City’s Wilksmoor Village continues, the City Council has granted a variance for the developer’s stormwater management plans. The council voted 5-0 on Dec. 1 to allow modifications to the weir at Wynn’s Pond, downstream from the new developments, which city staff said would result in “a more natural and cost-effective stormwater management system that better mimics the natural hydrologic conditions of the site.” City Engineer David Borkowski said the variance to the stormwater ordinance was supported by a study of water flow from the Wilksmoor area to Line Creek and Lake McIntosh.
