Developers

of Fayette Pavilion will wait another month for

approval of their plans for a freestanding

building with five shops including Men's

Wearhouse.

Just

west of Wal-Mart and south of Shoe Carnival, the

new building will provide 5,000 square feet for

Men's Wearhouse, plus four as yet unnamed shops,

one 3,500-, one 1,500- and two 1,200-sq. ft.

spaces.

Architects

Powers and Merritt presented elevations for the

shops to the Planning Commission during its

meeting last week, but the group voted to table

the elevations until its Aug. 24 meeting, when

development plans for the building will be

presented as well.

work session for the meeting will be Aug. 10 at 7

p.m. at City Hall. The business meeting Aug. 24

will be at 7:30 p.m.

The

building will match existing buildings at the

Pavilion, said Mike Brown of Powers and Merritt.

Among

other items on last week's Planning Commission

agenda:

� Dave Dail received tentative

approval of development plans for a tire and auto

service shop next to Stevie B's Pizza in the

Banks Station Shopping Center. The shop is tol

occupy a vacant spot between the restaurant and

the old Wal-Mart building.

Before

approval of the development plan becomes final,

Dail must meet several conditions addressed by

the city's planning staff and must receive

approval of a special exception to allow an auto

repair shop in the C-3 (commercial) zoning

district. The special exception couldn't be

approved last week because legal requirements for

posting a sign weren't met.

� Commissioners recommended

City Council approval of Jeff Landrum's request

for a change in zoning from R-22 (residential) to

O-I (office-institutional) for about three

fourths of an acre that is part of a six-acre

parcel owned by a family member on Ga. Highway 54

east of town. Landrum hopes to use a small house

at front center of the larger tract for an

office, but is asking to rezone only a small

portion so the rest of the property can be

developed as a residential subdivision in the

future.

� The group approved minor

revisions to the preliminary plat for Lakeside at

Redwine subdivision, to reflect changes due to

site conditions.

� A variance was approved for

two homes in Woodbyne subdivision to allow the

buildings closer to the boundary than required by

regulations. Errors in calculations placed the

homes' foundations less than a foot closer to the

border than is allowed, said a spokesman.

� The preliminary plat for

Autumn Glen subdivision was revised to allow

single family homes instead of duplexes. Duplexes

aren't selling well, a spokesman said.

� Development plans were

approved for an addition to allow indoor dining

at GTO's, currently a drive-in-only restaurant.

� Development plans for

Southern Community Bank were tabled. (see related

story)

� Commissioners recommended

council approval of rezoning from R-30

(residential with three-quarter-acre lots) to

R-THC (residential allowing town houses) for 20

acres at Beauregard Boulevard and Grady Avenue.

Owners want to build 54 detached, single family

homes with a park/common area in the center of

the site. (see related story)
