Commission tables proposal to convert 104 Buckner Road into laundromat after applicant absent
Summary
Stewart County commissioners tabled consideration of a plan to convert the former Jehovah's Witness church at 104 Buckner Road into a laundromat (with pool tables) after the applicant was not present; members cited safety and asked that the applicant attend the next meeting.
Stewart County commissioners on Feb. 10 tabled a request to convert the former Jehovah's Witness church at 104 Buckner Road into a laundromat after the applicant was not present.
Speaker 2 told the commission that Mr. Ortiz phoned before the meeting and said he could not attend but that “he's wanting to make it a, a laundromat and put some pool tables in there.” Commissioners said they had questions that they preferred the applicant answer in person. Speaker 1 expressed safety concerns: “I used to go to the laundromat all the time by myself at night. And I wasn't comfortable in some of the laundromats.”
The commission moved and voted to table the item until the applicant can attend. No formal plans or site drawings were presented at the meeting, and the applicant’s precise layout and operational details were not provided. The commission requested that the applicant appear at the next meeting to answer questions about entrances, interior layout and how the pool tables would be managed.
The meeting record shows the tabling decision was taken by voice vote; the transcript does not record a formal roll-call tally or identify the mover and seconder by name.
