Council

also will consider Newton Galloway's appeal of a Planning

Commission denial of a variance to allow a fence in a

front yard, as defined by city law. The law defines back

yards that face streets as front yards, and prohibits

building privacy fences in front yards.

Fayette County

commissioners have reserved the option of using bonds

issued by a special facilities authority to fund a new

jail and courthouse for the county.

The panel

voted last week to enact a dormant facilities authority

that would have the power to issue revenue bonds without

a public vote, but put off appointment of authority

members until later.

Commissioners

haven't yet decided how they want to finance the

jail/judicial complex, and if the authority hasn't been

enacted, then the option of authority-issued bonds would

not be available to the county.

"This

just gives us one more option to pursue," said

Commissioner Greg Dunn.
