Gas station, fast food planned for 16 and Old Highway 85 – Newnan Times-Herald

Coweta County

This site plan shows the proposed rezoning and road realignment at Ga. Hwy. 16 East and Old Highway 85.

A convenience store and fast-food restaurant are proposed for property on Ga. Hwy. 16 next to Coweta Charter Academy.

Frazier Properties/Bruce Frazier has applied to have 6.27 acres, which sits between Old Highway 85 and the charter school property, rezoned from RC-Rural Conservation to C-6, Commercial Minor Shopping District.

According to the application, there would be a convenience store with gas pumps, with operating hours of 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, and a fast food restaurant.

The site plan submitted with the application shows the fast food restaurant as being connected to the convenience store.

The site plan also shows a 5,000 square foot retail space, as well as a relocation of Old Highway 85. On the site plan, Old Highway 85 is moved to come into Hwy. 16 at a right angle, splitting the property. A roundabout intersection is shown. The retail space on the site plan is shown as being across the re-aligned Old Highway 85 from the convenience store.

Part of the property where the proposed retail center would be located is within the current right-of-way of Old Highway 85. If the rezoning is approved and the road is moved, that section of the road would have to be abandoned and rezoned.

The property is owned by Beverly Mitchell and currently has two houses on it, according to tax records.

The application states that Frazier Properties will donate right-of-way for the realignment of Old Highway 85, and will contribute 25 percent of the cost of the realignment and roundabout project, up to $250,000. The application also states that Frazier properties will provide engineering and construction documents for the realignment project.

A public hearing on the rezoning application will be held March 3 at 6 p.m.
