Local operator seeks variance to relocate office at 902 Patterville Road
Summary
Travis Mabry told the council he intends to buy 902 Patterville Road to move his rolloff-dumpster business and requested guidance on a variance to allow a portable toilet because the site lacks sanitary sewer; the council did not act and advised to proceed through planning and zoning.
Travis Mabry appeared before the Montgomery City Council on March 24, 2026 to describe his plans to purchase property at 902 Patterville Road and to ask about permitting and a needed variance.
Mabry said he has operated a rolloff dumpster business in the area for about 24 to 26 years and would relocate a small prefabricated 12-by-24 office to the new property. Because there is no sanitary sewer at the site, Mabry said he was told he would need a variance to place a portable toilet for employees; he described the portable restroom as necessary for operations and emergency purposes.
Mabry also said he planned minor paving and an entryway to "clean it up," and that most activity involves trucks dropping off containers and leaving; he told council the closest residence is separated by railroad tracks and existing vegetation.
Council members asked procedural questions about where Mabry would obtain a variance and were told he will pursue the regular planning and zoning process; staff said the council meeting was a preliminary presentation and that formal permitting and plats remain required. No motion or formal action was taken at the meeting.
Why it matters: The presentation puts the property
into the pipeline for review; neighbors, planning staff and the planning and zoning board will have future opportunities to review setbacks, use and sanitary requirements during the formal process.
The presentation and Q&A occurred during the regular agenda; staff advised Mabry to continue through planning and zoning and to return if variances or formal approvals are needed.
