Speed limits have changed.

Prompted

Council Monday approved reductions in the speed

limits on three city streets:

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

In

other action, council:

Approved 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

council members said the property is unsuitable

for residential use, since it is directly across

the road from an office park.

Approved minor

changes in the city's erosion control ordinance

recommended by the state Environmental Protection

Division.
