Determining the impact of new development on the cost of Fayette County government services will be the task of a panel that county commissioners hope to appoint tomorrow. The Board of Commissioners will again discuss its plan to impose impact fees to help defray some of those costs during its regular twice monthly meeting tomorrow at 7 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex, 140 Stonewall Ave., Fayetteville. State law requires that a county contemplating imposition of impact fees appoint a citizen advisory group with 40 percent of its members coming from the development or building business, with the rest coming from the community at large. Commissioners two weeks ago decided to name nine members to the committee, which means that 5 of them will have to be developers. In other business tomorrow, commissioners will consider: Larry Landrum's request to change the zoning of his 28-acre tract on Rockwood Road from A-R (agricultural-residential) to M-1 (light industrial). Integrated Science and Engineering Inc. hopes to develop 15 industrial lots. Proposed changes to the land use plan for Ga. Highway 85 north of Fayetteville. The county Planning Commission is recommending changing the anticipated use of several parcels from offices to retail business. The land use plan is a guide for future zoning decisions. Richard Lawrimore's request to change the zoning classification of an acre on Denesha Todd Court from C-H (commercial-highway) to M-1 to develop a storage and distribution facility. Lynn Henning's request for a variance to allow her to operate an animal kennel at her business, Covered in Bloom, on Malone Road in south Fayette. Henning told commissioners during their last meeting, May 13 that she had taken in several dogs and seven kittens not knowing that the county requires a kennel license for anyone owning more than three dogs. At that time, she told the board members that they should consider changing the ordinance, and introduced one of her pets, named Scooby Doo, as evidence that the animals are well cared for. Commission Chairman Harold Bost said the board would take her suggestion "under advisement." In the meantime, Henning will have to be licensed as a kennel in order to keep the animals.
