Three

annexation and rezoning requests for medical

offices in the Fayette Community Hospital area

are back on the Fayetteville City Council's table

this week.

Council

had called a time-out on two requests on the east

side and one on the west side of the hospital to

give city staff and the Planning Commission time

to develop a new zoning category for the area.

The

new Medical Office zoning category will be on the

agenda for the council's Monday, Aug. 2 meeting,

along with the annexations.

The proposed law would allow

use of the category on parcels of an acre or more

within 1,000 feet of the hospital. Parcels

farther away would have to be 20 acres or more to

qualify for the category.

The

changes also will be discussed at a work session

tonight. Both meetings are at 7 p.m. at City

Hall.

Asking

to make their parcels part of the city will be:

� Randy Hayes Development

Corp. Hayes' proposed four-acre development

includes a medical office building and a bank on

Ga. Highway 54 one parcel east of the hospital.

Hayes showed up for first reading of the new

zoning category last week and pointed out that

the proposed zoning did not include banks.

Council members agreed to add banks to the list

of allowed uses.

� Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Holbrook.

The Holbrooks want to sell their 1.44-acre tract

on Sandy Creek Road next to the hospital's rear

entrance to Fayette Dental Aesthetics for its

office. The firm makes dentures.

� Larry and Donna Mayfield.

The couple want to sell their 4.9 acres to Dr.

Gerald Goldklang to house his office. Realtor

Aubrey Massey, speaking for Goldklang, said the

doctor also hopes to use part of the property for

walking trails or other public uses compatible

with the hospital.

The

land is on Hwy. 54 next to the All-Cad medical

office building (formerly Apex).

In

addition to the MO category, council will

consider several changes to its zoning

ordinances, including corrections and

clarifications.

rule placing psychic businesses in the C-3

[commercial] zoning classification and requiring

that psychics' offices be at least 1,500 square

feet also will be included.

Council

also will consider placing a definition for

garage sales and for businesses in its zoning

ordinances, to distinguish the two and discourage

"perpetual" yard sales.

Also

on the council's agenda will be an update from

city engineer Don Easterbrook on a flood study

recently conducted on Gingercake Creek.

The

city is looking for ways to prevent or reduce

flooding of several homes along the creek.
