A public hearing to

consider jail impact fees is scheduled for Monday

night's Fayetteville City Council meeting. The first of

two required meetings, it will be for informational

purposes only. The city is considering whether to charge

impact fees for the new county jail, as well as for the

construction of a new police station. Possible revisions

to the impact fees for transportation and fire services

also will be considered.

New street names are

another topic on the City Council's Monday night agenda.

According to city staff, the multiple realignments of

what were originally South Lee Street and Ga. Highway 92

south have created some problems and made changes

necessary.

Although

South Lee Street is no longer connected to Lee Street and

old Hwy. 92 is not connected to the newer version, homes

on those streets still have addresses that refer to the

old names, causing confusion for emergency services

personnel in the area. A total of three dead-end spurs

are in need of new names, according to city staff.

Residents of the streets in question made suggestions to

the council at Wednesday's work session for new street

names, mostly referring to names of families that have

lived there for many years.
