A proposal to tear down the

McDonald's restaurant in Fayetteville and build a new one on the same

site is under consideration this month by the city's Planning and Zoning

Commission.

McDonald's wants to demolish

the existing building at 465 N. Glynn Street in favor of an entirely new

facility with a new parking area, curbing, and intensified landscaping,

according to city staff reports. The proposed architectural upgrades would

also include an indoor play area.

City staff has met with McDonald's

about certain technical issues which the restaurant is addressing at this

time. Revised plans had not been received by the city as of late last

week.

Other agenda items this month

for the commission, which convenes for its monthly work session Tuesday

at 7 p.m. and for its voting meeting Jan. 22 at the same time, include

the following:

Review of elevation plans

for a proposed second building in the Clairmont office complex. The applicant

wants to build a professional office building at 290 Ga. Highway 314 that

would mirror the adjacent building, with all exterior architectural features

the same except for larger entries in an attempt to better balance the

exterior elevations, according to city staff. The applicant is addressing

concerns raised by city building officials.

Development plans for Mayfield

Dairies on Robinson Road. An 800-sq. ft. office building has been proposed,

along with four additional parking spaces. The site was previously approved

to allow a cross dock for dairy trucks at the site. City staff has asked

for brick samples to be submitted and the location of the dumpster to

be identified.

A variance request from J

& J Quality Homes in the industrial park. The applicant wishes to

eliminate two parking spaces near the road, which would bring the total

below the required eight spaces, and shift the building 12 feet toward

the road to reduce the amount of impervious surface area. City staff is

reviewing the request to see if it would affect any construction details

which were previously approved.

A variance request from Willene

Beard of 105 Eastfield Court, who proposes to install a roof and enclosure

over an existing deck in her backyard on a corner lot in the Oakbrook

subdivision. This would reduce the rear yard setback from 20 to 16.2 feet.

Letters from neighboring property owners indicate that there are no objections

to the request, and city staff said that decks are a common amenity in

the neighborhood.
