Concerned residents of Providence Road Marietta GA

That intersection is already a problem because of its configuration (hard right turn uphill from westbound on Roswell Rd. which is supposed to yield to left turn from eastbound Roswell Road traffic). I've seen several "almosts" in the morning. The entrance or lack of entrance into the office condo complex is an issue too - people use it anyway violating the signage. Traffic already backs well past the first subdivision during school rush hour. That intersection does not need an or another entrance to a commercial facility and the traffic that goes with it.

Please vote No to this huge commercial facility proposed in a predominantly residential area. The added traffic  will be a detriment to the area surrounding Dodgen Middle and Walton High Schools. Thank you.

#39: Joe Brywczynski - Official & Updated Information on Project 

 Joe B.-

Thank you for commenting.

I/we have been looking for much information, and would LOVE to have more from Wellstar.  In a recent meeting with a planning commissioner as well as an ECCA board member, I was left with far more unanswered questions than answered.  You might hear from this group (ECCA) and others that there are many community members who are as concerned about the lack of assurances and information at this point as the perceived risks from the project as a whole.

In fact, the genesis of this petition was born out of the lack of outreach and information to this point. 

We have noted your updates (3/7) to the website, but as a whole and given the EXTREME potential impact to us neighbors, it remains lacking.

 The land is zoned for residential use, and Wellstar is trying to go around the zoning by using the Hospital Authority as its cloak, to bypass the rezoning.  The spin doctors are trying to tell us this is a good thing, do not believe it, if it was Wellstar would be on the up and up, instead of fudging on studies and facts to get what they want.

#45: -  

 The first thing we can do is attend two upcoming meetings-

March 24th Joann Burrell has a town meeting.  At present, she has no real input because Wellstar does not intend to pursue normal zoning process.  But she should hear that her constituents are concerned.

March 30th is a meeting between ECCA and Wellstar, which is open to the public.  Attend this meeting to hear from Wellstar directly, and to voice your concerns.

As far as our rights in this, they appear to be minimal.  Any other business, a gas station, car dealer, office tower would have to go through the zoning process and then we could speak to people that we elected.  At present, the only people Wellstar HAS to consider at present is the Hospital Authority. 

#46: Guest - Re: Can we do anyhthing about this? What rights do we have? 

Commissioner Birrell's townhall meeting will not be dedicated to Wellstar questions. However, the ECCA (East Cobb Civic Association) will host an informational session at its March General Membership meeting on Wednesday, March 30th at the East Cobb Government Center (4400 Roswell Road) at 7pm. The speaker will be Joe Brywczynski, Senior VP & Helath Parks Administrator for Wellstar. He will be giving the community an update on the Wellstar East Cobb Health Park project planned for the intersection of Roswell Road & Providence Road, next to the Goddard School. Additional information concerning this project can be found at www.wellstar.org/eastcobbhealthpark.
