From Roswell Rd, you will see a building 1292 feet long (nearly a quarter mile) by 70 ft tall, including the parking garage level, which faces Roswell. From the south side, you will see a building 1460 (over a quarter mile) feet long and 70 feet tall. From the east, it is 773 feet long (over an eighth mile).
Also, we were told by Kevin Isakson that the front of the building facing Roswell would be 230 feet from the road and 60 ft in front of Mrs. Tritt's present house. There are very few trees 60 ft in front of the house, and any planted trees will take decades to grow anywhere near 70 ft tall. (Note that I measure 249 feet from Roswell Rd to the front building, which could mean I am very slightly off, about 8%, or that Mr. Isakson's measurement was actually from the right of way or the sidewalk. Note that on the east side of the propery, the building is much closer to the road, about 202 ft.)
(Note that an earlier measurement I made had the south building at 1360 ft. A more careful calculation has it at around 1460 ft. In any case, it is only about 7% difference between 1360 and 1460, and they are both huge. When I asked Kevin Isakson about the length of the building at the Aug 13th meeting at Fuller's Park, he said he did not know the figures off hand, but seemed to agree my figures were in the ball park.)
The image above comes from the Isakson Living zoning application. The red lines and text are mine. I researched on the Cobb County deed site, and found that the Tritt land is in two parcels, one with a south line length of 1040 ft, and the adjoining parcel with a south line length of 1420 feet, for a a total south line of 2460 feet. Using that knowledge, I measured various points and used ratios to determine the lengths.
This will utterly dwarf the Wellstar development across Roswell Rd. This will be the tallest, longest and widest residential building for miles in any direction.
We were told by Kevin Isakson at the Aug 13th meeting that the buildings will be 70 feet tall on the parking garage side, and that the parking garage side will face Roswell. In the surrounding subdivisions, the maximum height a house can be is 35 feet. They continue to call the development "4 stories over parking". The parking garage will extend under most of the buildings, and most of the courtyard areas, with a total of 1250 parking spaces. These are just the parking spaces for residents. There is an employee parking lot in the southeast corner of the plan.
I will be doing some more posts on the size of this development in comparison to some other well known buildings.
