The Fayetteville

City Council approved one of two proposed annexations at Fayette Pavilion

last Thursday night.

A 53.55-acre

tract in Phase 3, along Ga. Highway 314, was approved unanimously for

annexation and rezoning from C-H (highway commercial) to C-4.

A separate

tract of 5.14 acres in Phase 4B, at the northwest corner of Ga. Highway

85 and New Hope Road, was also considered for annexation and rezoning

from C-H to C-2, but that issue was tabled while some impervious surface

issues are worked out. A development agreement concerning both sites was

approved pending completion of the Phase 4B annexation and zoning.

In other business:

The council

approved sanctions against a local convenience store for selling alcohol

to a minor. Police cited Haji Quick Stop Inc. at 350 N. Glynn Street for

a variety of violations involving the possession and sale of alcohol,

including the May 2 sale to a person under 21 years of age and the fact

that several employees of the store were not permitted to serve or sell

alcohol.

The council

accepted the recommendation of police and city staff that the store be

fined $1,000 and receive a 30-day suspension of its alcoholic beverage

license. There were no representatives of the store present at the council

meeting to comment on the issue.

Fayetteville

First United Methodist Church received approval of a sign variance so

that two ground signs can be installed along East Lanier and West Lanier

avenues. The four-by-six-foot signs will be allowed three feet from the

right-of-way instead of the usual minimum 10 feet, and they are in compliance

with the guidelines of the Main Street district.

A proposal

decorations on a dozen poles, at City Hall and at the gazebo. Accessories

include lights, garland swags and bows, and a custom-made snowflake lamp

post decor. The total cost for two phases of implementation under the

proposal is approximately $45,000.

The long-discussed

redevelopment zoning district ordinance was approved, as was a rezoning

request by Alex Thompson to allow renovation of the Jeff Davis Apartments

under the new zoning district.

The proposed

zoning ordinance amendments concerning gas station regulations was tabled.
