Social Circle Drag Strip Plan Revised from WaltonTribune.com
Social Circle drag strip plan revised
SOCIAL CIRCLE - The proposed motorsports complex in Social Circle will see some changes in its plans after the applicant temporarily withdrew the application. The change comes following scrutiny from residents who say the site will be noisy among other concerns. In order to implement some changes, owner Donnie Clack said he would withdraw his application - "without prejudice," which would allow him to resubmit at a later date - and re-apply within the next 30 to 45 days. Clack's lawyer, Michéle Battle, said the move was necessary to implement some changes designed to compromise with local complaints from opponents of the proposed drag strip. "We've gone back and re-examiend the plan," Battle said. "We've re-designed it to move that noise further away." The new plan moves the drag strip to the far western edge of the property, at a lower elevation and behind a larger tree buffer, to reduce noise levels. The finish line would now be nearly half a mile from the nearest residence. Battle said they planned to re-apply after the plans were revised and hoped concessions could be made by both sides. "We are willing to address the issues and compromise," Battle said. "My question to the opposition is what are you willing to do?" See more in Sunday's edition of The Walton Tribune.
