Approved.

Okay.

Um Zach, you're up first.

All right.

Good afternoon.

Got a rezoning request for you guys.

This is Bradley Wyatt.

Rezoning about five and a half acres at 3910 Foster's Ferry Road.

From GC to IL.

This is Council of District One.

You can see the location here, very close.

It's basically at the intersection of Foster's Ferry, Culver Road.

And Joe Mallisham, just off of that.

Pretty large piece of property.

They're wanting to rezone it.

It's currently GC.

They want to go to IL so they can have kind of a tire sales business mechanic shot for larger vehicles.

This is a preliminary site plan.

It's it's gonna alter from what you see here, but uh this is what they submitted at Planning and Zoning Commission.

And then it does conform to framework.

Framework identifies this as corridor commercial.

Clearly, there's a lot of vehicular activity in this location.

Um as you can see here on the future lane screen map.

However, it was uh not recommended to be approved um at the July 21st meeting.

There's some concerns.

The reason that it was voted not recommended is there are concerns about the um well you actually probably know Mr.

Eaton more.

Um yeah, there they had some concerns about the neighbor, the neighboring area being somewhat residential.

A lot of it is in the county, uh, but there are some city residences as well.

What do you anything you want to say?

We had a community meeting about it.

Um and they came out explained as community.

I think everything's good with it.

The concerns were the trucks um Foster's Ferry.

Um there were also some concerns about whether or not they were gonna have ingress and egress onto Culver Road, which the state's not gonna allow them to have ingress and egress on cover road.

So I think that kind of limits some of the traffic on Cover Road.

Um they did kind of change the plan where they're not only gonna serve as large vehicles, they're all gonna they're also gonna serve as cars, um, golf carts, bikes, any size vehicles um is kind of the agreement that we made.

They also had plans to kind of gate it in.

There was some concerns about overnight parking of trucks.

They removed all the uh truck parking spaces and added a gate to where the gate will close when the business closed, so it won't be overnight, it won't turn into a truck store.

Well, we we know how troubled these truckers are and people that own truck apparently they're really bad.

So I I think with the the adjustments made to the plan um and you know the owners of have kind of bought in to the sense of community.

I think we're gonna be good with it now.

You're in favor of it, yeah.

We're in favor of it.

Yep.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay, thank you, Zach.

Tonyus.

All right.

Good afternoon, Council Mayor.

We have three applicants today.

Uh first was Creshline Hotels and Resorts LLC, DBA Embassy Suites, Tuscosa, Alabama downtown.

They're applying for special retail more than 30 days.

Located again 2014 University Boulevard.

All right.

My next applicant will be um Broadway BML M L L C D B A MX Bar and Grill, applying for a restaurant retail liquor license, located at 1817 University Boulevard.

And then my last applicant would be uh downtown social LLC DBA for K Halloween party, applying for special retail less than seven days application at 1241 MacFarlane Boulevard East.

So I think when uh most of the fraternity sorority things that come to us they're generally some sort of alumni tailgate and that as opposed to this looks to be purely a house party type thing.

Uh it it varies.

It varies, it could be either one.

Okay, so who does the purveyor of this of the permit, are they making sure that the house insurance permits alcohol?

Yeah, so they have to have many of the houses, it's not permitted.

Well, they have to do the permission the uh permissive use agreement with the UA in order to put them to be called.

Yes, sir.

Okay, what who is this?

This is downtown social is KA Highlight.

Um who's downtown social?

Is that Bill Rice Group?

Bill Wright.

Okay, I'll ask him.

Okay.

That's on that dead entry.

Which one?

KA.

No, you're talking about his location.

The K House.

Cage.

Or is it his location?

Is that downtown social?

Yeah, you talk about the party.

Oh, it's at downtown.

Oh, okay.

I thought downtown social was requiring permit.

It's not at the KA house.

Yeah, 416 University Boulevard.

I'm sorry.

So it is at the KA House.

I'm sorry.

That was a misprint on my part.

It is K house, yes.

They don't have a rock in Halloween party.

Yeah.

What's that the house?

I think I'll go.

Set the house on fire in our last house gotta be under seven.

We could dress up as ours.

We dress up as ourselves.

That's right.

I dress up like the mayor.

We're getting bad comments.

I'm mayor maddocks.

You know.

Mayor Maddox mask I've got.

I don't have even gonna go.

I don't want to get myself in trouble either.

Um I don't ask anything.

I add anything for executive sessions.

Oh mercy.

Um that's why I love Tuesday so much.

Okay, Mayor.

So no executive session today.

No, sir.

All right.

Brandy.

Oh, we have one of those every week.

All right.

So um we accepted resumes for the Tuscusa Public Library.

If you remember, this is the term um the seat that we need to fill for Terry Tompkins.

We actually got 18 applications.

I sent that over to you guys.

Um, and if you've had a chance to review, I would like to see if you guys would be willing to appoint somebody.

I'd I'd like to nominate Peggy Master.

Um she's in Norman's district, former press secretary of NASA.

She's pretty secretary for this, and she's at the library almost every day.

She's the secretary for Al Gorwh.

Yeah, she's press secretary for Gore.

Not that I throw that out.

But she's she's retired high-end professional, and she wants to be involved in library.

I think that's a good idea.

So I don't have any problems.

She's been a replacement for Ms.

Tomkins.

Anybody else have any nominees?

Okay.

All right.

All right, I'll have that next week.

Scott.
