Cleveland NC approves lunch wine/beer at Tobo's

Cleveland NC zoning/planning board met tonight Dec 15, 2022. 

 

Members present included:

Jim Brown

Chip Adkins

Bryan Little

John Brown

Grayson Phillips

Gaye Shelton

Travis Elliot (owner and manager of Tobo's) asked for a conditional use permit to serve beer at Tobo's (restaurant) during lunch hours at 210 Amity Hill Rd, Cleveland (behind the new Food Lion).  

Elliot said that he is currently open to 2 pm Tues - Sat. He said that he plans to be open one night a week in the future, probably Friday or Saturday. He said the restaurant would not be open late hours; he plans to close at 8 pm when adding evening hours. 

Zoning board took eight minutes from opening to vote unanimously to approve beer/wine on a conditional basis for Tobo's. Adkins made the motion to approve, and Phillips seconded. 

Zoning business was closed and planning opened with one item on the agenda, to change parcel 251, tax map 078 from General Business to Central Business. 

Little said that the change would provide more "consistency." 

The lot in question  is the corner lot across and over from Leo's barber shop. It has the old white gas station building on the site but is not currently open for any type of business. 

The board voted unanimously to make the change which took one minute. 

Zoning/planning closed at 6:09 pm.

Cleveland NC town board meeting 6/12/2023 - Town to object to ETJ rules.

  The Cleveland NC town board met tonight Monday 6-12-2023. All board members were present.  Proposed Changes to ETJ Control by State of NC Town zoning/planning chair, Bryan Little, addressed the board and asked that a letter be sent to the state of North Carolina objecting to changes in the ETJ rules so that the board would have time (an extra week) to draft an official protest resolution concerning the changes to ETJ.  ETJ is extraterritorial jurisdiction and is a one mile radius around the town of Cleveland. The town makes the rules as far as land use in the area around the town, but residents are not in town limits and do not vote on town issues and do not pay town taxes.   The state of NC wants to eliminate ETJ for towns in counties of under 50,000 people which is 51% of NC counties per Little. Control would shift to the counties versus small towns like Cleveland in less populated counties. Mayor Pat Phifer said that the proposed changes to ETJ "doesn't preserve our town

Beer and Food Trucks in Cleveland, North Carolina? Maybe.

Image
Cleveland, NC town board members voted last night to send a request to the zoning committee for beer and food trucks within town limits. Current zoning laws in Cleveland disallow the sale of alcohol at restaurants and also for having food trucks in for events. As Mayor Patrick Phifer pointed out, the old ice cream trucks with the loud, clanging bells that senior members of the community may recall were not legal. Of course, things were much different years ago. Linda Dillard, on behalf of Frankie's (new Cleveland chicken restaurant), asked the board to go over the process for getting the sale of beer in town. She noted that patrons of Frankie's would like to have a Michelob with chicken. She said that food sales would remain the bulk of sales and that the restaurant planned to limit beers to "one or two." This may sound odd to people outside the area, but another restaurant in the zip code area does have a policy of not more than two beers per patron which has
