You

say you can't find office space in Fayetteville?

Just wait.

The

City Planning Commission Tuesday will discuss

plans for 15 new office buildings in two proposed

projects.

Johnson

Properties hopes to build 10 office buildings

with space for 57 tenants, with offices ranging

in size from about 1,200 to about 5,100 square

feet, at Devant Street and Ginger Cake Road.

And

developer Robert Rolader is seeking approval of

his plan for five office buildings of 4,600

square feet each on 2.77 acres on the east side

of North Jeff Davis Drive, across from Kathi

Avenue.

Rick

Sewell, architect for the Devant Park project,

pointed out during last week's work session that

the commission has previously approved a plan for

a commercial subdivision on the 7.6-acre Devant

Street property, but decided to develop offices

instead.

The

plan calls for 67,368 square feet of office

space.

"This

is a radical departure from the previous

plan," said commission Chairman Bill Talley

during a work session last week.

Rolader's

plan for the Ted Brown Office Park on Jeff Davis

would provide a total of 23,000 square feet of

office space in five two-story buildings.

He

also is asking for a reduction in the number of

required parking spaces from 110 to 104. Plans

for colonial revival style buildings is

consistent with the city's special architectural

requirements for the Main Street District,

according to city planner Todd Miller.

Commissioners

are scheduled to act on the proposals during its

regular business meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at

City Hall.

Among

other items on the agenda will be:

� A special exception to allow

Dave Dail's Tire and Auto Service at 105 Banks

Station. Dail wants to build the facility in the

open space next to Stevi B's Pizza at the south

end of the shopping center.

� Development plans for a

4,143-sq. ft. addition to Wal-Mart's garden shop.

The plan would require relocating a landscaping

island and moving the fire lane

� Revised development plans

for an addition to the BellSouth building at Lee

Street and Glynn Street. The Planning Commission

had previously approved a plan that would match

the roof line of the old section to that of the

new section.

Architects

are now asking to revise that plan to allow a

flat roof on the new section, whereas the old

section has a hip roof.

"My

feeling is you should do what you agreed to do in

this last go-around," chairman Talley told

the architects during last week's work session.

� A preliminary plat for

Argonne Forest, a 152-home subdivision and

17-acre office park at New Hope Road and Ga.

Highway 314 north of town.

City

Council last month approved annexation and

rezoning for the 144-acre project, with the

stipulation that the site plan submitted with the

rezoning application be used as the actual plat

for the subdivision. Developer Bob Rolader said

at last week's work session that the plan being

presented is unchanged from the one presented to

council.

� Development plans and

elevations for Shops at Fayette Pavilion,

including a 5,000-sq. ft. Men's Wearhouse. The

freestanding building will finish up phase two of

the center with Men's Wearhouse and four

additional shops, one 3,500 square feet, one

1,500 and two 1,200 square feet.

The

building will match existing buildings at the

Pavilion, said Mike Brown of Powers and Merritt,

architects.
