FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County commissioners gave approval for 46 new single-family homes on Dr. Bramblett Road and a new shopping center on Peachtree Parkway. Commissioners unanimously approved a sketch plat June 6 for the 46 homes to be constructed on a 58-acre plot between Tomahawk Lane and Chadwick Drive. Though there was little commission discussion on the housing development before approval, comments from the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service in the county’s staff report note that a high amount of stream frontage in the development mean potential buyers should be made aware of landscaping limits and flood risks due to the nearby wetland areas. Commissioners also approved a sketch plat for a new business center on the 12-acre triangular plot south of Peachtree Parkway and east of Vaughan Road. The development will include more than 67,000 square feet of new commercial space.
