Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Holbrook's request to annex their home into Fayetteville and change its zoning to allow a dental lab will go to City Council with a positive recommendation from the city Planning Commission.

Council will discuss the request in its work session tonight and conduct formal first reading Monday night, with plans to vote on the matter May 17.

Meanwhile, the Planning Commission will begin its review of development plans for the project, slated for 1.44 acres on Sandy Creek Road behind Fayette Community Hospital, during its May 11 work session.

Development plans in the hospital area must be more detailed and meet more stringent requirements than in other areas, because the state Department of Natural Resources has listed that area in an environmentally sensitive ground water recharge zone.

Because of the listing, the development plans also must be approved before council can approve the annexation and zoning.

No toxic elements will be disposed of at the site, said John DeLash, owner of Fayette Dental Aesthetics, during a recent Planning Commission work session.

DeLash and wife, Paula, plan to move the lab from its current location on Jeff Davis Drive.

One metal used in the lab's denture making procedures is “right now marketing higher than gold,” he said. “We're not about to let it get away.”

The lab will have only eight employees and virtually no customer traffic, he said, adding that he plans use the house that is currently on the property with no major changes.

Planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval of the annexation and rezoning during last week's business meeting.

In other action, commissioners approved development plans for:

ä A 10,000-sq. ft. super CVS pharmacy at 510 N. Glynn St., next to Checker's restaurant. The pharmacy and restaurant will share a driveway onto Ga. Highway 92. The pharmacy also will have an entrance on Ga. Highway 85.

ä Three office buildings on Weatherly Drive between Fayette Montessori School and Weatherly subdivision. Each building is 2,000 square feet, with one building having a 4,400-sq. ft. warehouse attached, for storage of construction equipment used by Meja Construction Company, owner of the complex.

ä A 5,400-sq. ft. repair shop building in the Ivyland industrial park on Robinson Drive. A spokesman said the building is speculative, having no tenant at present.

ä Lot number one of Burch Office Park. A 3,200-sq. ft. office building is planned, using the same residential style construction as in other lots in the development.
