The Coweta

County Board of Commissioners Tuesday made clear its

intentions about any sexually oriented businesses coming

into the county.

After

unanimously passing a more than 30-page document full of

regulations, the board thanked the county's attorney

Mitch Powell, for working so hard on the project.

While the

ordinance is meant to regulate any potential businesses,

the commissioners believe the regulations will prevent

any from applying for a license.

After

studying the document for more than a month, the

commissioners added more requirements Tuesday, including:

An employee of the

business, such as an exotic dancer, could not get closer

than 10 feet to a customer.

Any managers of the

business must live in the county.

Previously,

the board had agreed to several other regulations,

including:

The businesses cannot be

within 1,000 feet of any recreational facility or an

establishment that sells alcohol.

The business cannot be

within 1,500 feet of any school, religious institution,

public park, day care center or residence.

The business cannot be

within 1,000 feet of another sexually related business.

The business can be located

only in an industrial area.

No alcohol can be sold at

the business.

Workers at the business are

not allowed to accept tips.

All workers must complete

background checks.

Even though

commission Chairman Vernon "Mutt" Hunter was

not able to attend the public hearing on the ordinance,

he voted for it.

"I

want to send a message that the board is unanimous in its

recommendation," he said.
