Controversial annexation request will return to City Council agenda Tuesday

News

DAWSONVILLE, Ga. – City Council will revisit a request by B&K Turner Family, LLC. to annex 70.808 acres along Perimeter Road for a 124-lot residential subdivision when it meets in a combined work session and regular meeting Tuesday at 5 p.m. at City Hall.

On Dec. 17, the Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 to request the City withdraw the request and on Jan. 6, the Board’s Attorney Angela Davis notified the City and the Department of Community Affairs of its legal and land use objections and requested an Arbitration Panel.

The City Planning Commission initially heard the annexation request on Sept. 14, 2020 and again on Nov. 9.

In other business, Dr. Lawrece Kulish, MD, is expected to be appointed to the Dawson County Board of Health.

Council will consider a special event permit for an exhibit by NASCAR’s Chase Elliott on Feb. 1 from 6:30 pm until 11:30 pm in the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, 415 Highway 54 East.

Council will also consider recommendation to increase the rental rates for certain city-owned properties.

In the past, the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame has rented for $100 per month. The recommendation is to raise that amount to between $500 and $1,000 with a requirement that all events held outside the venue receive a special event permit.

The Distillery, which has rented for $2,778 per month could be increased to $3,500
