Plans for a

53-home subdivision on 20 acres just south of downtown

Fayetteville will sink or swim Tuesday.

Fayetteville

City Council will vote on zoning for Charles and Mary

Alice Odom's proposed Apple Orchard subdivision at 7 p.m.

at City Hall. The site of the proposed development is the

southeast corner of Grady Avenue and Beauregard

Boulevard.

Council

meetings usually are conducted on Mondays, but this

week's meeting has been moved to Tuesday because of Labor

Day.

Last

Wednesday, Dan Odom, son of the petitioners, and Becky

Morris of Integrated Science and Engineers spread plans

for the subdivision on the hood of a black Chevrolet

pickup truck and scratched out revisions following a work

session in which council members expressed new objections

to the subdivision plan.

The Odoms

proposed 100 homes for the neighborhood last year, and

withdrew the petition after Planning Commission and

council members objected to the density. The new plan has

faced similar objections, and the family has made

revisions prior to each meeting of commission and

council.

City staff

has recommended that approval of the subdivision be

conditioned on reducing the number of lots still further,

to 50, and having two entrances on Beauregard, one across

from Medford Drive and one across from Bates Avenue.

Also on the

agenda Tuesday, council will consider Jeff Landrum's

request for office and institutional zoning for .67 acres

on Ga. Highway 54 east of town.
