Fayetteville council approves Pavilion annexationsBy MONROE ROARK
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 by the Main Street office for holiday lights was approved. The plan includes 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.
