Pine Grove Road residents will have a few new neighbors upon completion of another subdivision.

Developer Charlie Whitmire appeared before the Catoosa County Board of Commissioners Aug. 19 to rezone 4.15 acres on Pine Grove Road from residential, R-1, to residential, R-3. Commissioners reviewed the Catoosa County Planning and Zoning recommendation, approving it unanimously.

Planning and zoning administrator Ron Brown said the change will allow Whitmire to build 1,200-square-foot houses on 10,000-square-foot lots.

Whitmire said he is planning for 13 lots on the two properties he is combining for the project. He said the property already contains one existing house.

“This will be about a $1.5 million project. We will be putting a county-approved public road in,” he said “There is sewer there.”

Whitmire also owns R-3 property just east of these parcels where he is currently building 14 houses.

He said the three bedroom homes with two baths and two-car garages will be single family dwellings with purchase prices ranging from $100,000-$130,000.

In other business:
* Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to submit 56 roads to the Georgia Department of Transportation for consideration and review to receive LARP (local assistance road program) funding for paving in 2004.

* Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a resolution to allow the Hospital Authority of Walker, Catoosa and Dade counties to issue revenue certificates for $8 million. Commissioner Ron Gracy made the motion. Commissioner Mark Fletcher seconded.

The Catoosa County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hold a regular meeting Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 10 a.m. at the Courthouse Annex at 7658 Nashville Street in Ringgold. For more information about the meeting, call (706) 965-2500.
