City Council Vote on Brewery Delayed

The City Council voted to postpone consideration of the appeal of the Tennessee Brewery development until the first week of February. They postponed their action due to the pending vote by the Board of Adjustment to re-hear the density variance appeal for the development. If the BoA denies the appeal, any City Council vote tonight would have been rendered moot. A BoA vote tomorrow against the density re-hearing will stop the development (at least as it's planned now).

So far, not bad.

The Board meeting is today, December 20, at 1:00 p.m in the City Council chambers on the 1st floor of City Hall. Citizens showing up to support this cause will help (I don't think I'll be able to get off my day job for this).

[Update: I've corrected the time and date for the meeting, thanks to a note from June West.]

The Longassed Day

This Tuesday, December 19, the appeals for the Tennessee Brewery go before the City Council. First, there's a Planning and Zoning Committee Meeting in Room 501 of City Hall at 2 p.m. After that the City Council's Executive Session will hear the appeal. The executive session wil start at 3 p.m. but the Tennessee Brewery appeal is listed as the second to last item on the agenda -- number 49 out of 50 items on the agenda [careful! pdf].

49 out of 50? A flashmob might come in handy here. Actually it would come in very handy in architectural preservation.

Flash or not, come on down and support the cause!
