A request from Haverty's

Furniture to create outdoor storage areas for its delivery trucks will

be considered a second time by the Fayetteville City Council at its meeting

Thursday night.

Haverty's officials say

the trucks are necessary to their business since they deliver furniture

orders throughout the area. The Fayetteville and Southlake Mall-area stores

are the only two Haverty's on the south side of Atlanta.

The delivery business didn't

sit well with several city council members when it was discussed at the

previous meeting. Residents who live behind the business have complained

about the noise and pollution from the trucks.

Haverty's officials propose

to use landscaping and a brick wall to screen the trucks' view from

the nearby homes and the adjacent Johnny Carino's restaurant.

Council also is expected to

vote on a commercial rezoning for the Fayetteville Masonic Lodge, which

is currently zoned for multi-family use. The lodge has agreed to deed

a part of the property that has actually become a portion of a city street.
