The newest parkway in

Peachtree City finally has a name that will stick.

The Peachtree City Planning

Commission voted 5-0 Monday night to give the Line Creek

collector road now under construction the name MacDuff

Parkway, acting on a recommendation from former mayor

Fred Brown.

After considerable

discussion two weeks prior to this meeting, the Planning

Commission voted 3-2 to name the road Inverness Parkway.

That name was denied by Fayette County 911 officials

because a similar name already exists. The unofficial

name for the past few years, Line Creek Parkway, was

rejected for the same reason.

City staff came to this

week's meeting prepared with a list of more than two

dozen possible names, most of them in keeping with the

Scottish theme that runs throughout the city in places

such as Braelinn and Kedron.

Brown presented a brief

history lesson and pointed out that MacDuff was a name of

historical value to the area, like Kedron, in that it had

been used before Peachtree City was ever officially

established.

He said that he would like

for the city to reconsider Inverness, but the Planning

Commission was more than happy to follow his next

suggestion, MacDuff, and get the matter settled.

Brown also suggested the

names Inverearary and Dungeness.

In other business, the

Planning Commission approved a rezoning for a proposed

office development in Westpark that could become the

national headquarters for the Phi Mu fraternity.

Plans call for a building

of about 18,000-20,000 square feet on five acres. The

biggest point of discussion for the Planning Commission

was a request for six guest rooms in the building.

A new LUC (limited use

commercial) zoning district was presented for

consideration to address this issue, with conditions for

guest quarters to be permitted as an accessory use:

No more than six separate

guest rooms on the property.

No more than one guest room

for every 3,000 square feet of office space in a

building.

All guest rooms must be

located entirely within the office building.

No guest rooms shall

include a complete kitchen.

All guest rooms shall be

used only for short-term accommodations for bona fide

business associates of the principal office use.

The guest rooms shall be

strictly for nonpaying guests, with no payment of any

kind made for use of the facilities.

The zoning goes with the

applicant, and shall revert to the original zoning if the

applicant sells the property.

No one spoke in opposition

to the request, and it was approved 5-0.
