Council raises stormwater fees —

The Fayetteville City Council at the May 18 meeting unanimously approved a rezoning request to expand the Hampton Inn off Tiger Trail from 150 rooms to a proposed 208 rooms — an increase of 38% — and to allow construction of 30 multi-family units in a single building on that property. The rezoning request covers 5 acres within The Villages at Lafayette off Ga. Highway 54 just west of the downtown courthouse square.

Also approved last Thursday was a 54% hike in stormwater fees for this year with more increases set for each year until 2027.

Here’s the full agenda the Fayetteville City Council acted on at the May 18 meeting:

New to the area, but it appears that the Fayetteville City Council does not listen to the residents. One day when all of these city council people have sold the city to businesses and retire, what will be left of our beautiful community?

Ugg, more urbanization, more congestion, more crime, more transients who don’t care about our area. Do residents really want this? Hard to believe!

I hear you. In the 23 years I’ve lived here I’m the only one who has ever cleaned out the storm drain that runs underneath the road and onto my property. So where is this money going?

Another increase in stormwater fees and more to come annually? I can’t even get the City of Fayetteville to come out and maintain the public stormwater drainage system that is failing along my property line that causes overflow onto my property resulting in continued damage to my yard (for years). What do these continued hikes actually do for their residents aside from making the monthly water bills ridiculously expensive? Cause they do nothing to respond to resident inquiries related to their responsibilities that should be covered by these regular hikes in stormwater fees.
