Vote expected on Fayetteville sign law

Proposed revisions to Fayetteville's sign ordinance will probably get City Council action Monday following discussion at tonight's work session.

Council will discuss the changes at 7 tonight at City Hall with plans to vote on the new ordinance in Monday's business meeting, also at 7. Controversial sections of the revised law that would have prohibited flying multiple American flags over businesses have been removed, along with a section prohibiting internally lighted signs.

Also on the agenda tonight and Monday, council will discuss new names for old sections of streets that were isolated in the recently completed realignment of Ga. Highway 92 at Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard.

City planners have polled residents of the area to get ideas.

Council also will discuss Fayette County's request that the city collect impact fees for the planned construction of a new county jail and courthouse.

Concerns over the city's law, passed last December, prohibiting the parking of semi truck cabs residential neighborhoods also are on the agenda. Those who already were parking their trucks at home were given 60 days to register so they could be exempted from the ordinance, but concerns over how those residents were notified of the deadline will be discussed.

Council will conduct first reading of three rezoning requests, with plans to have second reading and vote on the requests June 19 (See related story).
