Concordia Properties had originally requested several other signs, specifically

to make sure the Publix will be identified by motorists since it sits back

off the highway. Instead, Concordia decided to use signage for Publix without

the need to request a variance, Prince said.

In other business, council approved a rezoning for the Fayette Car Wash from

community commercial to highway commercial. The owner plans to add another

car wash bay and several trees to the site which will be located under protective

grates instead of in planters.

The car wash is located near the Big Lots in the Fayette 85 shopping center.

Council also appointed Liz Cole and Virginia Bittinger to the arts and architectural

advisory committee. Cole is a landscape architect who also has a degree in

sculpture. Bittinger graduated from LaGrange College with an art degree and

she has a mural and faux finish business.
