ARLINGTON NEWS
August Mayor and
Board of Aldermen
Recap:
On-Premise Beer Sales
Expanded
By a four to three vote, the
Mayor and Board of
Alderman eliminated zoning
restrictions on the on-premise
sale of beer in the Town of
Arlington on Monday,
August 4. Voting for
Ordinance 2014-07 were
Aldermen Glen Bascom,
Oscar Brooks, Brian
Thompson, and Mayor Mike
Wissman. Voting against
were Aldermen Gerald
McGee, Harry McKee, and
Jeff McKee.
A hotly contested issue in
the weeks leading up to the
meeting, this decision lifts
the previously restriction of
on-premise beer sales to
Business Entertainment (BE)
and B3 zoning districts.
Effective immediately, this
change permits on-premise
beer permits in all
commercial zoning districts
where restaurants are
allowed. “Neighborhood
Restaurants,” or those with
39 or fewer seats are
restricted from beer sales,
however.
Also in the ordinance
were an allowance for beer
pubs to sell sealed containers
of draft beer (ie, “growlers”)
and a change in the distance
from schools and churches in
which on– or off– premise
beer sales are prohibited
from the current 225' to 0' in
B3 and 500' elsewhere.
Also that evening,
Ordinance 2014-08,
eliminating the BE zoning
was passed 6-1, with Gerald
McGee as the lone opposing
vote. Ordinance 2014-09
passed to amend zoning
ordinance as does 2014-10 to
reduce the number of
members of planning
commission from 9 to 7.
The Mayor and Board of
Alderman also approved the
purchase of property just to
the east of Dollar General on
Highway 70, adjacent to the
TDOT building.
Planning Commission
Meeting Recap
At its August 18 meeting,
the Planning Commission
approved a request by the
developer for an extension
for Hayes Place Planned
Development (PD). Hayes
Place is a 32-lot subdivision
located just south of
Hayesville Estates; the
extension is for one year.
Construction in Hayes
Place has been delayed by
delays in town of Arlington's
planned lowering of Hayes
Rd.
A site plan was also
approved for a 3500 sq. ft.
eye clinic at Airline &
Cranston.
Members of the Planning
Commission expressed some
concern regarding the
decision by the of BMA to
decrease the number of
p l a n n i n g co m mi s s i o n
members from nine to seven,
citing the loss of community
involvement.
Immediately after the
meeting, a work session was
held with the developer for
Village at Donelson Farms.

this planned development
