Gwinnett Daily Post | Snellville leaders postpone dam repair discussion

SNELLVILLE – City leaders, on the advice of City Attorney Tony Powell, voted Monday to postpone a discussion about the necessary repairs to Lower Johnson Lake Dam in the Summit Chase subdivision.

Powel advised postponing the discussion, which should be included on the Aug. 12 regular meeting agenda, because of pending litigation. At issue is the question of who will pay for the necessary repairs, the Summit Chase subdivision, the city, or both.

John Fonda, speaking on behalf of homeowners in the Timberline Communities (Timberline, Misty River and Misty Fairways) presented a petition to Mayor Kelly Kautz and council members Monday. It included more than 100 signatures of homeowners “demanding” that the Summit Chase Homeowners Association take care of the problem as soon as possible.

According to Fonda, the lake has been an unhealthy eyesore for more than two years, and it has adversely impacted the property values of surrounding communities.

“We want to have our voices heard through petitions. We want a resolution as quickly as possible,” Fonda said, adding that residents of the communities he represents will be happy to assist the Summit Chase HOA with fundraising efforts.
