Fayetteville planners and concerned residents of the Beauregard Boulevard area will take another look at Bob Adams Homes' plan to put 100 senior citizen homes on 20 acres next week.

Neighbors objected strenuously when the city Planning Commission discussed the plan last month, but the development firm has been meeting with neighborhood groups since then in hopes of reaching a compromise. Meanwhile, city officials are studying Adams' assertion that his plan is compatible with the city land use plan.

Adams hopes to build the senior neighborhood at Beauregard and Grady Avenue, with homes as small as 1,200 square feet on lots as small as 6,000 square feet. Prices would run from $105,000 to the $180's, Adams told planning commissioners during a work session last week, adding that only a few homes would be at the low end of that range, occupied by single elderly residents.

Adams insists that although the neighborhood would have more homes per acre than others surrounding it, its impact on schools, traffic and other services would be minimal because its residents would be elderly.

The company's senior communities are dense by definition, because the 50-something buyers of Adams homes don't want big yards to maintain, he said.

More to the point, Adams argued that his plan meets requirements of the city's land use plan that was in place when he filed his request for rezoning to allow the subdivision.

City Council recently approved a new land use map, but the text of a plan accompanying it has not yet gone through state scrutiny.

Adams said the old plan defined medium density as five units per acre, though the new plan would allow no more than one unit per acre. But city officials said the zoning category that allows five units per acre under the old plan also calls for attached housing, not detached single family homes like those proposed by Adams.

Commission members last month tabled Adams' request and asked him to meet with neighbors. Adams said last week he had met with residents of Nancy Lane, and was planning meetings with residents of two other neighborhoods.

The commission will discuss the matter at its regular business meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Among other items on the agenda:

* Development plans for Applebee's, Chuck E. Cheese and two unnamed restaurants on Banks Road between Ga. highways 314 and 85. The plan presented Tuesday will be revised from earlier submittals that have drawn criticism from the Planning Commission.

The new plan includes additional landscaping at an Eckerd drugstore next to the site, and spokesmen for developer JDN Corp. said they are working on providing shared driveways for the restaurants. But questions still remain about the number of parking spaces allowed for Chuck E. Cheese. The number of parking spaces required is tied to the number of seats, but because Chuck E. Cheese is a combination restaurant/entertainment site, the number of actual restaurant seats is in question.

* Development plans for Steak 'N Shake on Ga. Highway 85, just south of Fayette Pavilion.
