![]() ![]() The “changing conditions” is a reference Kroger’s attempts to seek tax breaks from the Development Authority of Cobb that were invalidated by a Cobb judge last fall. In its analysis for the future land use plan amendments, however, Cobb community development staff noted that “considering the changing conditions on site and the intensity that the proposed development will generate, a more appropriate future use designation may be Regional Activity Center with a sub-category of high density residential (RAC/hdr).” The MarketPlace Terrell Mill Project is regarded as a linchpin of redevelopment in the Powers Ferry corridor. The future land use designation for the land is Regional Activity Center with high-density residential. Others opposed the assemblage of 24 acres that included the former Brumby Elementary School site into the Regional Retail Commercial category, a rare one in Cobb County that is denser than most surrounding property in a busy commercial corridor. The MarketPlace Terrell Mill project-which is to include a Kroger superstore, nearly 300 apartment units, restaurants and retail space-was opposed by residents of a nearby condominium complex. But those East Cobb cases, along with other proposed future land use plan amendments up for consideration, reflect lingering issues over density in the area, and the county in general. Revising the future land use plan is fairly routine following zoning cases. 15.īoth meetings are in the second-floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St., in downtown Marietta. Cobb commissioners will hold a hearing and adopt any changes at 9 a.m. ![]() When heading back, if you wish for a longer outing, continue down the Rottenwood Creek/Bob Callan Paved Trail that you came in on.The first of two public hearings on the proposed amendments is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. A couple short boardwalks and a small sandy bank overlook the river near the Devils Racecourse Shoals. Continuing down the moderately steep path, the trail forms a couple small loops along the river. At the next junction, heading left will take you to the smaller parking lot on Akers Ridge Drive. Heading downhill, a side trail on the left will lead to the townhomes as well. The rest of the park has trail maps, so navigating shouldn’t be too difficult. Head downhill to another series of junctions. If you stay straight, the trail will lead to a townhome neighborhood. Once the trail levels off, it will slowly descend before coming to another junction. The trails either stay around 800 feet in elevation along the river or around 1000 feet in elevation on the hilltop, so navigating this park requires several 200 foot climbs and descents.Ĭontinue uphill at the next junction turning left here will lead you back to the paved path. Taking a left at the junction will take you up a steep incline. As a rule of thumb, if the trail becomes overly difficult, hard to follow, or overgrown then you’ve taken a wrong turn. This is one of many unofficial trails in the park. If you take a right along the river, the trail eventually dead ends unless you ascend a steep, difficult unofficial side trail up the hill. Along here will be the first junction, which at the time of writing this, does not have a trail map for guidance. Taking the first of the two entrances with the sign, the trail continues to follow along the river for the next. While on this paved path, you will cross under I-75, then over Rottenwood Creek before arriving at the start of the West Palisades unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Starting from the larger parking lot at Paces Mill, begin on the Rottenwood Creek Multi-Use trail for the first half mile. The park is complete with great river views, boat ramp, large picnic area, and access to a 4 mile paved multi-use trail, making it perfect for a variety of activities. One of the more challenging of the Chattahoochee River parks, the West Palisades trail system provides relaxing river-side trails along with several moderately steep inclines. ![]()
