Stonecrest — On Dec. 18 the Stonecrest City Council approved a package of planning and infrastructure items, authorizing several preliminary plats and a major lot division while also approving multiple grants and contracts via the consent agenda.
Development approvals: Council approved the preliminary plat for Crest Wind Point (SDP25‑0037199) at 7199 Hayden Quarry Road; the developer, Chris Cole of Cole Development representing Brookfield Properties, said Phase 1 will construct 65 of a planned 129 single‑family units to pace market delivery. The resolution passed 4–1.
Council also approved the preliminary plat for Crestwood Township (SDP25‑0047259), which proposes 192 of 260 townhome units in Phase 1; staff and the applicant confirmed commitments for sidewalks and tree replacement measures. For another project, a 20‑lot single‑family subdivision on Rockland Road (SDP25‑0085912) was approved after council discussion; the vote record noted one nay and one absence.
On a separate, larger project, the council approved a major plat to subdivide approximately 188 acres at 6750 Stonecrest Industrial Way into three parcels for the proposed IDI Swift Creek Logistics Center (SDP24‑004). Dan Wenmeyer, the civil engineer on the project, explained the reasoning to create three parcels — separate tax/titling for individual buildings and tenant arrangements — and council approved the plat 5–0; signed plats were delivered to the mayor.
Funding and contracts: The consent agenda — approved 5–0 — included accepting an FY '25 CDBG grant for Salem Road sidewalk installation, a GMA 2025 health and wellness grant, contracts for Browns Mill Park scoreboard replacement and Farrington playground equipment, vendor recommendation for Clarendon Road sidewalk project, and a memorandum of agreement with GDOT for the Panola Road streetscape. Council later moved item f (agreement for mowing/maintenance with GDOT) out of consent and approved the GDOT maintenance agreement (covering streetscape maintenance) 5–0; staff noted the construction let date moved to March 2026.
The council deferred two items: RZ 25‑0042374 (Cove Lake Road) and SLUP 25‑0065940 (5940 Farrington Road), the latter after public opposition and a request for written owner consent to staff conditions.
Council members and staff emphasized that lot subdivision approvals are technical preliminary‑plat actions and do not change underlying zoning uses; future tenants and uses must comply with existing zoning or go through separate zoning/variance processes.
