Corporation

Boulevard, which has been hardly mentioned for a decade, was recently

in the news during deliberations leading up to the council's rejection

of a rezoning request by Cobblestone Apartments and Cobblestone's ensuing

lawsuit against the city.

Approximately

1.3 acres off Ga. Highway 54 east were purchased by the city in 1988 to

begin development of a road that would ease traffic on the east side of

town. That project never came to pass due to changing Georgia Department

of Transportation priorities and other concerns.

Developers

arguing for the Cobblestone rezoning said that their property had no direct

access to the highway, making the commercial zoning unmarketable. When

voting to deny that rezoning request, the council decided that abandoning

the Corporation Boulevard tract would help alleviate that lack of access

to the highway.

Also on Thursday

night's agenda:

A resolution

outlining an agreement for streetscape and pedestrian improvements along

Church Street from Georgia Avenue to Hwy. 54.

Approval of

a liquor license for Ruby Tuesday at Uptown Square, across from Fayette

Pavilion (the restaurant already has a beer and wine license).

A proposed

amendment to the city's impact fee ordinance.
