Blount County Beer Board Unanimously Approves Route 129 Smokehouse Beer Permit in Maryville
Summary
The Blount County Beer Board voted 5-0 Oct. 23 to approve an on- and off-premises beer permit for Route 129 Smokehouse at 106 Calderwood Highway in Maryville after a brief public hearing; the board's attorney said the application met county ordinance and state law.
The Blount County Beer Board voted unanimously Oct. 23 to grant an on- and off-premises beer permit to Route 129 Smokehouse, a sit-down restaurant proposed at 106 Calderwood Highway in Maryville.
Beer board attorney Scott Stewart opened the public hearing and confirmed procedural requirements. According to Stewart, the application included a sworn statement and a site survey completed by the Blount County Sheriff’s Office. Stewart stated, “from a legal opinion, the application does meet all the requirements of the Blount County bureau ordinance and state law.”
The applicant, identified in the hearing as Mr. Clancy, confirmed he completed the sworn application and that he will be the business owner. Board members noted the sheriff’s survey showed the nearest church, Rio Church, at 1,580 feet from the premises and one residence within 300 feet of the site. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the public-input period.
After closing the hearing, the board moved to approve the permit. The motion carried with five yes votes. Board staff told the applicant the license would be available for pickup at the clerk’s office the next morning after 08:00 and reminded the applicant to sign the paperwork before leaving the meeting.
The board concluded the item and set no additional conditions on the permit during the Oct. 23 meeting.
