Liquor‑store special exception at Windsor Spring Road postponed after staff requests school confirmation
Summary
A special exception request to allow a liquor store adjacent to a convenience store at 4505 Windsor Spring Road was postponed for 30 days so staff can confirm the status of a nearby elementary school and gather additional materials.
The Planning Commission voted to postpone consideration of a special exception to allow a liquor store at 4505 Windsor Spring Road after staff asked for additional follow‑up on the proximity of a nearby school and for written confirmation from the Richmond County Board of Education.
Amanda Cruz, Planner I, described the site as a 2.03‑acre B‑1 parcel at the corner of Windsor Spring Road and Willis Foreman Road with public water available but without county sewer. Cruz noted prior approvals related to a convenience store and a special‑exception condition that required the convenience store to be initiated within six months of approval by the Augusta Commission.
Petitioners’ representative Jeb Bogus stated the nearest school is approximately 1,600 feet away by road, not the 663 feet cited by staff; the petitioner offered a survey that he said supports that distance. Planning staff asked to postpone to secure written confirmation of the school’s status from the Richmond County Board of Education before a final decision.
Commissioner Jones recused himself from the case. The commission approved a motion to continue the item for 30 days so staff can follow up and provide written information. No final vote on the liquor‑store special exception was taken.
