Planning Commission previously denied special exception
A proposal to build a transmission shop on south Glynn Street near Grady
Avenue was recently rebuffed by the Fayetteville City Council.
At its Aug. 19 meeting, developer Bob Rolader appealed a decision of the
city's Planning and Zoning Commission to deny a request for a special
exception, which is needed to operate a car repair facility in a C-3 zoning
district.
Although staff recommended approval based on several conditions, the council
voted 3-2 to deny the special exception after a vote to table the matter
failed 2-3.
The proposal was for a 7,500 sq. ft. building on a 2.4-acre site. City staff
recommended approval of the special exception contingent upon acceptable
site lighting, stormwater and utilities plans.
After hearing several concerns from citizens who live nearby, the mayor
and council expressed concerns about problems with stormwater runoff, visual
screening, audible screening and pollution, according to minutes from the
meeting.
Mayor Ken Steele broke the 2-2 tie to deny the special exception, joining
councilmen Al Hovey-King and Walt White. Councilmen Larry Dell and Glenn
Brewer had previously voted for approving the special exception, and they
voted against the motion to deny it.
