You'll

have to slow down a little more on three

Fayetteville streets if City Council approves

proposed speed limit changes Monday.

Council

will discuss the changes tonight in its regular

work session. Both meetings are at 7 p.m. at City

Hall.

Prompted

council will consider changing the speed limit:

From 55 to 45 on

Ga. Highway 85 from the south city limits to a

point 300 feet south of Beauregard Boulevard;

From 55 to 45 on

Jimmy Mayfield Boulevard from Ga. Highway 92 to

South Jeff Davis Road;

From 40 to 35 on

Lee Street from Ga. Highway 85 to Jimmy Mayfield

Boulevard.

Council

also will consider sending a list of 15 local

streets to the DOT for inclusion in the state's

repaving program.

The

list will be in order of priority, and the state

is not guaranteeing that all the roads will be

repaved.

According

to a letter from DOT Commissioner Wayne

Shackelford, need for the state repaving funds

have outstripped he department's revenue for

calendar year 2000.

Council

also will consider a contract with Carter Watkins

Associates Architects for

"stabilization" of the

Holliday-Dorsey-Fife House.

The

architects would prepare construction documents

and design the project, which would include

architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical

and plumbing work to restore the original eight

rooms of the historic house and add accessible

rest rooms. The firm also would oversee the

construction work.

Other

items on Monday's agenda:

Jimmy and Dell

Walker's request for a change in zoning from

R-30, a subdivision category, to O&I (office

and institutional) for a house at 555 Grady

avenue, across from Bradford Square office

complex. The city's planning staff recommended

denial of the request, saying it constituted spot

zoning, but the Planning Commission is

recommending approval.

Minor changes in

the city's erosion control ordinance recommended

Amendments to the

city sign ordinance (see related story).

� A rezoning request from

Argonne Properties for 110 acres at Ga. Highway

54 and Tiger Trail (see related story).

Presentation of a

proclamation honoring Fayette Middle School

students who took part in a recent gift of trees

to the nation of France to replace trees that

were lost in a hurricane
