The Alpharetta City Council on Monday got a peek at three preliminary designs for the redevelopment of eight acres downtown, and didn't like any of them.
The rough designs, drawn by Foley Design Associates, had football-field-sized town greens surrounded by the new City Hall, retail stores, offices, condominiums west of Haynes Bridge Road and a park across the street. One design moved the City Hall east of Haynes Bridge Road. The buildings would be four stories tall.
City Council members said they wanted more of a park atmosphere, more residences and for City Hall to be a centerpiece. One asked whether a parking garage could be built below the park. Designers will take the input and try again.
