Applications for this month’s BOA include a seasonal nursery in Millington and a request for multi-family use for the former Keeray’s & Grill on South McLean
This month’s Board of Adjustment cases arrive from 11 applications, most for minor requests for allowances outside of codified zoning.
Included is a request by A + Services Landscape & Nursery for a seasonal retail nursery with a greenhouse along Highway 51 in Millington on vacate land currently zoned for residential use (Item 7 below, BOA case 23-052).
Above: the proposal from A + Services Landscape & Nursery would add a seasonal retail nursery with greenhouse to this location along Hwy 51 in Millington. (Google images)
Also included is a request from The Mathews Realty LLC to restore the former Keeray’s & Grill in the Rozelle-Annesdale neighborhood at 975 S. McLean, vacant since 2014, and restore it multi-family use. (Item 2 below, BOA 23-046)
In the application, the applicant said that “975 S McLean has been vacant since 2014. Although it is not occupied, the charm and character illuminates the corner of Felix Ave and S. McLean. I intend to restore this building in its natural state, and preserve the elements that make it such a unique build. The property is currently divided into four separate units from (its) previous use as restaurant, two residentials and store.
“There will be no change to the physical layout structure. The building is divided from past owners. we intend on updating the siding, roofing and windows.”
