"We might consider a resolution setting up

something voluntary," he said.

CARING (Coalition Advocating Responsible Indoor Nonsmoking Generations)

has written to Wheat, asking that the matter be put on a

future agenda, but Wheat said the city already has an

ordinance prohibiting smoking in publicly owned buildings. The city

may suggest that private businesses put up signs telling the

public the smoking status of those businesses, he said, but

won't require it.

The five members of Fayette County's Planning

Commission will be working with staff members in coming weeks

to review five aspects of the county's land use plan

for possible revision.

The County Commission recently asked the

planning panel to start working on a thorough revision of the

plan, which is used as a tool in zoning decisions and

infrastructure planning.

Planning Commission chairman Bob Harbison will work on the text portion of

the plan; Bill Beckwith will study the area around Fayette

Pavilion; Al Gilbert will look at the area around Fayette

Community Hospital; Jim Graw will study south Fayette, and Fred

Bowen will work on environmental aspects of the plan.
