Former Peachtree

City Police Officer Ben Thomas is coming back to the county.

Tyrone Town

Manager Barry Amos said Thomas is set to be confirmed as a police officer

for the town at this Thursday's meeting.

Thomas recently

served as Senoia's police chief for four years, and long-time Fayette

residents remember Thomas from his unsuccessful runs for Fayette County

Sheriff.

Thomas resigned

from his position in Senoia at the end of last year.

In other agenda

items, the council is set to table a rezoning and land map amendment request

from Burt Clark on a 44-acre tract at the intersection of Ga. Highway

74 and Dogwood Road.

Amos said the

Planning Commission continued the hearing on the request, so the council

will wait for a recommendation.

Clark wants

the tract's zoning category changed from agricultural-residential to office-institutional

to build an office complex at the site.

Amos said the

council also will discuss a Development Authority study. The study will

calculate town's financial solvency if all of its property is developed

according to the land use map.

"I think

it's a good idea. It will give the municipalities an idea of what the

development's going to cost," Amos said.

The meeting

is at 7:30 p.m. at Tyrone Town Hall.
