, Fayetteville City Council tomorrow will consider H.E. Holbrook's request for annexation and rezoning of his home and 1.44 acres next to Fayette Community Hospital.

Holbrook wants to sell the home to a local dental lab for use as its office, but council has previously told Holbrook they may table the matter while city officials develop some special standards for office development around the hospital. That puts Holbrook in a bind, he said, because he has already bought a new house and is bearing expenses for both homes.

During a work session last week, councilmen asked city attorney David Winkle to draw up an agreement that would bind the dental lab owners to the future standards.

They'll decide the matter during their business meeting tomorrow at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

, New landscaping along the Ga. Highway 54 and Ga. Highway 85 entrances to Fayetteville has become the talk of the town. Residents, public officials and passers-through have been heard making positive comments.

The city is filling the medians with plantings, dominated by crape myrtles, in a project designed to enhance efforts to revitalize downtown.

Fayette County Planning Commission members, in conversation following their meeting Thursday, were the latest to offer praise for the beautification effort. “It's like the icing on the cake of their revitalization efforts,” said one commission member.
