An on again, off again plan

for restaurants and shops on a small parcel between

Fayette Pavilion and Rent-All Plaza may be off again.

City

Council granted commercial zoning for the project years

ago, then reverted the zoning to its previous residential

category when developer Stan Thomas failed to build a

street through the property as a condition of the

rezoning.

Last year,

council changed the zoning to commercial again, with the

same condition. But not all of the property involved is

within the city limits, and the project has been delayed

again as the developer worked to provide sewerage to the

site.

Council

Monday will consider reverting the zoning to residential

yet again.

Thomas has

dealt with a variety of restaurant chains as potential

tenants on the site, including Steak `n Shake, Ryan's

Steakhouse and O'Charley's.

Fayetteville residents will

go to the polls one more time Tuesday as candidates Clyde

Avery and Bill Talley are in a runoff for City Council

Post 1.

Voters will

cast their ballots at only one precinct, the Old Depot

next to the city water tower, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Talley,

chief financial officer for a Pine Mountain, Ga. bank,

received 39.3 percent of the vote in the city's municipal

election Nov. 3, while Avery, broker for a local property

management firm, received 42.9 percent. Third candidate

Paul Carter received the remainder.
