1476 Triple Creek Court Demolition Ordered and Completed

Update January 17, 2012.  The demolition started Tuesday January 10th. Amazingly, by the end of the day the house was to-the-ground and the contractor had started hauling off the rubble. (A LOT of rubble - maybe 30 loads on very large skids). 

By Tuesday January 17th the work was completed - including hay and grass seed; plus a silt fence was installed where needed. Equipment is still onsite; but appears to be just waiting for pickup or for a final inspection by the County. 

Update January 04, 2012.    Cobb County ordered the demolition and excavation of 1476 Triple Creek Court.

 

The work was expected to start and finish before December 15th, 2011; however, there was a delay getting the gas shut-off properly. 

 

The work is now expected to start within the next two weeks. So, the excavation equipment should be staged onto the property soon.

  

Some neighbors have asked about the driveway. Building Inspections says that the drive will "probably" stay unless there is a drop-off, grading or drainage problem.

Why Recommend just two Garbage Services?

The purpose in recommending just two vendors is to minimize the number of garbage trucks sailing through the neighborhood and the number of days that our garbage cans will be on the streets.

 Waste Management picks up on Fridays unless there is a holiday and then they pick up 1 day later. They also provide two types of recycle pickup and as far as I know have no limit on yard bags. They guarantee us a fixed price each year and hold the price until we negotiate the following year (so, no mid-year increases). And, now that we have a high percentage of neighbors using their service they provide the Spring Cleanup dumpster at no charge. 

Alan's picks up more frequently; but, they do not guarantee their price for an entire year (for example a dump fee increase may be passed along at any time).  They have a good reputation and have been serving our community for many years.

 

Keep in mind that this is only a recommendation; residents are, of course, free to use any service that they choose.
