Hall commissioners reject rezoning for boat storage
Placeholder Image
Residents dressed in red to signify opposition to a proposed boat storage facility in a residential area off Lake Lanier got their wish Thursday night. The Hall County Board of Commissioners denied the application of developer Tim Whitmire to rezone the neighborhood to allow for commercial development. Citing a loss of property values, increased traffic and fears about crime, about 100 residents of a lake peninsula along Mountain View Road in West Hall, where nearly 450 homes are located, showed up at the commission meeting in an attempt to sway the board’s decision.
