Developers of The Villages

at LaFayette Park are preparing to begin construction on the first residential

units slated for the mixed-use site.

A preliminary plat for 30 town

homes was presented Tuesday night to the Fayetteville Planning and Zoning

Commission at its monthly work session. The infrastructure, including

streets, water, sewer and drainage, has been constructed around the site,

according to city staff.

The master plan for the entire

development was approved more than a year ago. The site consists of about

100 acres, bordered on the south by Ga. Highway 54 and on the north by

Fayette County High School, and will include residential and office development

as well as the city's proposed amphitheater.

The commission had previously

reviewed the building elevations and floor plans, and developers met with

city officials to discuss some additional concerns.

Nine of the town home units

have been revised from a separate garage and breezeway layout to utilize

drive-under garages, apparently because of site grading, a city staff

report indicated.

Builders are ready to start

once the preliminary plat is approved and a detailed engineering plan

meets with staff approval, according to city development director Don

Easterbrook.

The Planning and Zoning Commission

will convene for its monthly voting meeting this Tuesday at 7 p.m. due

to Christmas falling on a Tuesday this year.
