Sumner County approves two on‑premise permits for Elk Grove General Store and Shady Cove Resort
Summary
At a Sumner County meeting, officials approved an on‑premise permit for the Elk Grove General Store and an on‑premise permit allowing operations at Shady Cove Resort; both approvals were made by voice vote and applicants were instructed to complete paperwork.
Sumner County officials approved two on‑premise permit applications during a brief meeting, granting permission for the Elk Grove General Store and for restaurant operations at Shady Cove Resort.
The first application, from William Mac Hodges for the Elk Grove General Store, was presented and discussed briefly. An unidentified meeting official moved to approve the permit and another official seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The applicant was told to fill out required forms and to remain until staff completed the paperwork.
The second permit involved Justin Ryan Dragoo, who applied to operate at Shady Cove Resort. Meeting discussion confirmed that Eugene Conner remains the property owner and that Dragoo would operate the restaurant. An unidentified meeting official moved to approve the Shady Cove on‑premise permit; another official seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote. Staff member Jennifer was identified as holding the paperwork.
Neither the record nor the meeting discussion included numeric vote tallies. Distances between the proposed businesses and nearby institutions were described in general terms: the applicant for Elk Grove said the site is on a separate road ‘‘a little bit’’ from Woodrow Presbyterian Church, and attendees said Southern Elementary is ‘‘quite a ways away.’’ Shady Cove was described as having a restaurant and marina and previous beer permits on file.
No public commentators addressed these items during the recognition-of-public segment; staff closed that portion of the meeting after noting only applicants were present. The meeting concluded after the two permit approvals and a motion to adjourn.
