Fayetteville

City Council is expected to act Monday on a

proposal to reverse an earlier rezoning on Ga.

Highway 54 east.

Second

reading of an ordinance reverting the zoning of

the Landrum property from Office-Institutional to

its former residential category is on the council

agenda for Monday night, with a work session

scheduled tonight to discuss the matter.

Council

rezoned a small portion of the property to O-I

after an agent for the owners said their plan was

to operate an accounting office in a small house

on the land.

But

city manager Mike Bryant said the city has cited

the owners twice since the rezoning because they

are parking dump trucks and other vehicles on the

site, and that's not allowed under the new

zoning.

The

owners got a restraining order to stop the city

from issuing any more citations until the older

ones are dealt with in court.

City

Council recently voted unanimously to start the

process of reversing their earlier decision and

rezoning the property for residential use.

Also

on council's agenda tonight and Monday will be

city engineer Don Easterbrook's proposal to

increase the city's fees for Planning Department

review of developers' plans.

Fees

for review of rezoning and annexation requests,

development plans, variance requests and other

applications that require the department's review

would increase by $50 to $100 if council

approves. The proposed fee hikes were presented

for the council's Feb. 7 meeting, but tabled to

give members more time to study them.

Council

also will consider Fayette Senior Services'

request that the city continue its support of the

nonprofit organization's programs. FSS provides

services and support to Fayette seniors.

Director

Andy Carden will be asking that the council

continue last year's support level of $12,500.

The organization is in the planning stages of a

fund-raising effort for a new Senior Services

Center building.
