Preliminary plats for two upcoming developments were approved by the Mcdonough City Council at its March 4 regular meeting. One was for Barrett Farms, a single-family subdivision on Lake Dow Road. The other was for Eagle Rest, a townhome development on Ga. 20/81.
Both were previously recommended for approval by city staff. A rezoning request for separate development of a 36-acre parcel on Ga. 81 West — 5 acres for highway commercial use and 31 acres for multifamily residential use — was postponed at the request of the applicant.
