Chairman Rule read rezoning application #Z21-34, Industrial VI Enterprises, LLC (appl.) and Johnnie Dobson and Laura Dobson – co-executors for the estate of Melvin Dobson (owner), requesting to rezone a 76.17 acre tract located South of the intersection of Union Grove Road and Hwy. 53, Adairsville from A-1 to I-1.

They have been negotiating a resolution for the entrance and will build a frontage road that will run parallel to Highway 53 that can be used for future developments access and that a traffic light will be requested from the County Road Department to the Georgia D.O.T. The applicant will fund the cost for the frontage road, traffic light, and water/sewer extension. Karen Capehart, an adjoining property owner, spoke in opposition to the increase of noise, traffic, and water run-off.
