Southside Fayetteville commercial plan on commission agenda Tues. By JOHN
MUNFORD Plans for a large commercial development on recently annexed land in south Fayetteville will be considered for approval by the city's planning and zoning commission next Tuesday night at its regular 7 p.m. meeting. The plan for the 28-acre "Summit Point" site encompasses 116,000 square feet of retail space not including seven outparcels which would be located off Ga. Highways 85 and 92. Ten acres of the tract will be dedicated as a conservation area, according to a representative for Concordia Properties. No one spoke in opposition to the plan at the commission's last meeting when the plan was presented as a workshop item. One item the commission wanted to see action on was a reduction in impervious surface. The developer is also required to develop 10 percent of the space for office use, according to city documents. The rezoning petitions for the property were controversial at first, since the southernmost portion of the rezoned tracts on the southside but against residential subdivisions in unincorporated Fayette County. Residents initially complained about an increase of traffic and crime that commercial development would bring to the area. At the time, council put its decision on hold so citizens could be allowed input on a task force that was formed to study the various development issues.
