Millbrook Council votes 3-1 to rezone property near Graff Road, Main Street
Top Photo: This is the view of the property that has been rezoned, taken from Shady Drive. The 3.88-acre lot runs along Main Street and Graff Road. At times, it was confusing to follow, but in the end, the Millbrook Council voted 3-1 to rezone 3.88 acres of land along Main Street and Graff Road Tuesday night. There was one abstention from the vote. The issue came up at the last regular meeting earlier in August but was tabled. The council heard from multiple neighbors in the area at the last regular meeting that had concerns about additional traffic, change in zoning from single family to duplexes and flooding issues from Coosada Creek. They were also concerned with changes that were originally proposed to Graff Road to meet up with Shady Drive. The landowner of the property at Hwy. 14 and Graff Road has intentions to build multiple duplexes on land that was formerly zoned for single family residential. It was decided to table the motion at the earlier meeting in August, to allow time for the residents and the developer to meet and work out any concerns.
