Plans for the

proposed Village development have been revised, but the plan agreed upon

at last week's Fayetteville Planning and Zoning Commission is not as different

from the original plan as it once was.

Developers

came to the commission earlier in October with news that state and federal

regulations regarding stream disturbance would necessitate some changes.

A proposal presented at the P&Z workshop called for the addition of

a right-in/right-out entrance on Ga. Highway 54 at the western end of

the site, along with the realignment of some buildings in the commercial

and office section of the development.

That plan was

scrapped, however, and the only major change now is the shifting of the

main Hwy. 54 entrance about 63 feet west of where it originally was. It

will still align with the entrance to the Magnolia Park office development

now under construction on the south side of the highway.

Some additional

technological elements will allow for a combination of piping and bridging

to remain within the 300-foot maximum for disturbing perennial streams.

The previous maximum was 500 feet, and that change earlier this year is

what necessitated another look at the plan.

The original

plan for the Village, a mixed-use development on the west side of Fayetteville

next to Fayette County High School, was approved in the spring of this

year.

There was some

concern expressed last week about one-way streets at various locations

within the development. Developer Walt Rekuc said that he had no problem

with one-way or two-way streets and would do whatever the city likes,

but he proposed the one-way streets in the first place because he wanted

to reduce the potential clutter from cars parking along the streets in

both directions.

Rekuc said

he met with the fire marshal and would mark off no-parking areas for emergency

vehicles to use when necessary.

The commission

approved the revised development plan with the following conditions:

Layout and

directions of internal streets are to be worked out with city staff and

the city engineer. One-way streets would be approved only with a caveat

that they be converted to two-way streets if they become problematic.

The turnaround

on LaFayette Parkway would be a permanent access.

Dixon Park

would revert to its original design, with a linear park between the town

homes and Camden Stone Path.

A letter from

Magnolia Park would be provided to the city, assuring the realignment

of that entrance with the intersection of LaFayette Parkway and Lanier

Avenue West.

The commission

voted unanimously to approve.
