The City of Smyrna Planning Commission held their regularly scheduled meet-
ing at City Hall January 22, 1979 and was called to order at 5:30 o'clock P.M.
by Vice Chairman Allen Potter. Also present was Tom Corso, George Griffen,
Bill Wood, W. C. McCoy, M. E. Jernigan, Jim Tolleson - Ward I Councilmen,
and Anita Mullins.
The first order of business was the introduction of the new members of
the board, which are Ward I - W. C. McCoy and Ward VII - M. E. Jernigan.
There being no official business the Commission discussed the Hospital
Connector. Mr. Jim Tolleson stated that he had attended several meetings
about the connector and brought us up to date on the progress. Mr. Tolleson
futher stated there would be an additional meeting at Griffen Middle School
the following week. The information was informative and was appreciated by
the commission. After some discussion Mr. M. C. McCoy made a motion to
recommend and urge Mayor and Council to prepair a resolution and send to
the Cobb County Board of Commissioners and the State Highway Department
recommending that they update the study on the East West Connector and
consider the heavy traffic which has developed in recent years due to new
housing developments which have been built in the current path of the
connector. The original study was done before 1972 and the maps were
drafted in 1972 and 1973. The Commission feels this should be updated and
a southern route considered which would avoid coming through Smyrna.
Vote for the motion was unanimous.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 7:00 o'clock P.M.
Vice Chairman - Allen Potter
