Council grants six-month extension for retail liquor store special-use permit for M and M Enterprises
Summary
Council approved a six-month extension for a retail package liquor store special-use permit for property owned by M and M Enterprises, after the applicant, Jerry Moody, said he was waiting on final state approvals and zoning clearances.
The Hiram Mayor and Council approved a six-month extension to the special-use permit for a proposed retail package liquor store operated by M and M Enterprises.
Staff noted the special-use permit (issued under ordinance 2026-04) expires Aug. 3. The applicant, Jerry Moody, spoke to the council and said he was waiting on final state approvals and local zoning actions before beginning construction and that he had consulted engineers for traffic, sewer and water testing. "I was wanting to get all my permitting, zonings and all that stuff took care of before I started the physical building," Moody said. He told the council he delayed construction to avoid spending money up front and then being turned down by state or local regulators.
A council member moved to adopt an ordinance extending the time limit for the permit for six months; the motion was seconded and the chair called for the vote. The transcript records the motion and the chair's call for a voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the meeting record.
Next steps: with the extension approved, the applicant can continue permitting and testing; council did not set additional conditions in the transcript.
