Fayetteville Planning and Zoning commissioners got a preview March 14 of the newest proposed addition to the growing number of medical facilities along Ga. Highway 54.

Currently the site is the location of Advanced Aesthetics at 874 Ga. Highway 54 West. Developer Mike Tenant provided commissioners last week with a look at the first of two proposed 41,000 square-foot medical buildings planned for the site.

Located between Hickory Avenue and Yorktown Drive, the site was recently annexed into the city. Plans call for the current Advanced Aesthetics office to be replaced with the first of two buildings to be called Prestige Park. Tenant said Advanced Aesthetics will be located in the first building constructed and will occupy approximately 75 percent of the building. A 5,000 square-foot ambulatory surgical center will also be located in the building.

Tenant said plans call for a campus-like medical complex. The two buildings, both with two stories, are expected to be connected by a landscaped walkway with adjacent garden areas and some shared parking.

Planning and Zoning Director Eldridge Gunn told commissioners that elements of the area’s buildings of architectural influence, Piedmont Fayette Hospital and Fayette Medical Center, are contained in the building plans.

In a separate item, commissioners at the work session also heard development plans for Granger dental and medical office on Bradley Drive at Dennis Drive near Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard.

Situated on approximately one acre, the proposed 10,000 square-foot, two-story building will house dental offices in the front portion of the building and other medical tenants in the rear, Scarbrough and Rolader representative Donna Black told commissioners. Plans call for 38 parking spaces, based on 14 examination rooms and 24 employees.

Commissioners asked to see land gradients at the March 28 meeting and talked about having a concrete walkway installed around one side of the building to accommodate easier access from the front and rear.
