Restaurant permit on Council agenda

The City Council will consider granting a conditional use permit to Elizabeth and Ray Bailey for their Wagon Wheel Restaurant during Wednesday night’s 7:30 meeting.

The Bailey’s have been opposed in their efforts to secure the conditional use permit by residents in the area.

The Baileys want to turn their present snack bar into a restaurant. The Wagon Wheel is located at the corner of Rt. 189 and Jasmine Lane, just south of Beales Corner.

The area residents, including the minister of a church located across the street, were concerned that the restaurant will be issued a license to sell beer, after expanding to a restaurant, but when it was learned that they only had permission to run a snack bar at their present location, city officials forced them to close their doors.
