It took a mere 15 minutes for

the Fayetteville City Council to cover a reasonably light agenda Thursday

night, with two new alcohol licenses granted and several ordinance amendments

approved.

Longbranch and El Parian restaurants

are now approved by the city for the sale of distilled spirits. Both applications

were approved unanimously with no discussion, and no representatives of

either restaurant were present at the meeting.

Council also approved a traffic

signal interconnection project agreement with Georgia Power and a contribution

of $5,000 to the Fayette County Development Authority for its land use

fiscal impact study. Contributions from the other municipalities in the

county also will be earmarked for this project.

Small revisions in the city's

speed ordinance (a name change for a street) and sign ordinance were approved,

along with amendments to the storm water management ordinance (detention

pond fencing materials) and the alcoholic beverage ordinance.

A rezoning request for Compass

Financial Services, from R-30 residential to office-institutional for

335 North Jeff Davis Drive, was approved.
