Fayette County’s Board of Commissioners approved several routine and operational items and postponed two land-use petitions at its March 27 meeting.
The board unanimously approved a new 2025 retail beer and wine license (M25-01501) for C4Whitewater Inc., doing business as Whitewater Amoco at 1552 Hwy 85 S. Chief Marshal Lem Miller told the Board the application had been reviewed by Planning & Zoning and Code Enforcement and met requirements; no one spoke in favor or opposition. Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell moved to approve and Commissioner Charles D. Rousseau seconded; the motion passed 3-0 (Commissioners Edward Gibbons and Charles W. Oddo absent).
The Board also approved a Radio Communications Memorandum of Understanding with the Georgia Department of Public Safety to allow troopers radio access to the County’s system, improving interoperability between county 911, the Sheriff’s Office and state troopers. Chairman Lee Hearn moved to approve the MOU; Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell seconded. Motion passed 3-0.
Water System Director Vanessa Tigert requested — and the Board approved — Change Order No. 08 for Contract #2000-P with Badger Meter for additional meter boxes, associated labor and an additional allowance for labor. The not-to-exceed amount is $210,964.56. Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell moved to approve; Chairman Lee Hearn seconded. Motion passed 3-0.
On land-use matters, the board tabled two rezoning petitions because the full five-member board was not present and applicants requested more time to meet neighbors. Petition 1360-24 (Brent Holdings, LLC / Racetrac Petroleum) to rezone about 55.8 acres for a distribution warehouse was tabled to the May 22, 2025 meeting at the applicant’s request. Petition 1361-25 (Max Fuller / After Hours Property Management) to rezone 10.03 acres to R-72 for residential lots was tabled to the April 22, 2025 meeting after the applicant requested a continuance. Both tabling motions were moved by Commissioner Charles D. Rousseau, seconded by Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell and passed 3-0.
The Consent Agenda was approved and included an acknowledgment that Sheriff Barry H. Babb accepted one vehicle with a corrected VIN from the Town of Tyrone and acceptance of an emergency supplemental grant award for the DUI Accountability Court of $33,180 with no match required.
The meeting adjourned at 5:44 p.m.
