Council approves rezoning, Wawa site plan, $25,000 trail appropriation and other routine items

Gallatin City Council on June 3 unanimously approved a package of land-use and administrative items, including a rezoning for a small commercial outparcel, a preliminary site plan for a Wawa convenience store, a $25,000 appropriation for a multiuse path and acceptance of public improvements in a new subdivision.

The measures, taken during the council’s regular agenda, were adopted on voice votes with no recorded dissents. Council discussion was brief for most items; debate was longest on the Wawa preliminary master development plan, where several council members raised concerns about the proposed driveway access and potential light pollution.
