Kelly’s Brew Pub wants to buy the building to
expand its existing property, but the city wants to turn the building into
a community center. The city has ruled that Kelly’s would be violating a
zoning ordinance if it moved. It cites a problem with added traffic, lack
of parking and extended hours which could have a negative impact on the
neighborhood. “What’s interesting is that
zoning made approval each time at current location and that’s 50 feet form
new restaurant,” said Kelly’s Brew Pub owner Dennis
Bonfantine. The county claims it looks like the
bad guy for going after property that a private business
wants. County Commission chair Tom Rutherford
wants everyone to know the county and many residents have wanted the
property long before Kelly’s showed interest.
