Owner of the property where underground storage tanks previously
were maintained at 301 Franklin Avenue is seeking an environmental
site closure. During the removal of the tanks from the site in May
2011, a petroleum release was reported to IEMA. All chemicals of
concern have been actively remediated or have been addressed at the
site. To satisfy EPA requirements, request has been made to the city
to pass an ordinance to restrict the installation and use of potable
water wells within the affected area.
Request has been made from the Bond County Animal Control Officer
to amend city code that requires animals be held for at least ten days
for redemption to seven day redemption for all animals and three day

Discussion to Amend
Use Matrix Table and
Addition of Liquor
Classifications and
Hours:
City Manager Willey explained that with the Unserved Sewer Project,
Willie’s Place bar and the VFW just outside the city limits had expressed
interest in annexing into the City in order to get city sewer connection.
Before they would be interested in annexing, the City would need to add
bar or tavern liquor license classification. This facilitated the request to
the Plan Commission to amend the Use Matrix Table. Plan
Commission held a public hearing regarding a request from the City of
Greenville to change permitted and conditional use in the Use Matrix
Table in the category of bars, taverns, and nightclubs. Plan
Commission unanimously recommended to change the Use Matrix
Table where a bar or tavern would be a conditional use in the
Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Commercial General (CG) and
Commercial Large-Scale (CL) zones and remove the permitted use in
the Downtown zone.
With the Plan Commission recommendation to amend the Use Matrix
Table for bars, taverns and nightclubs in Commercial Neighborhood
(CN), Commercial General (CG) and Commercial Large-Scale (CL)
zones, the next step would be for the council to establish a bar or tavern
liquor license. Currently there does not exist a bar or tavern license
within the city limits.
Following a recent request for a special event liquor license to cater an
event, the council indicated interest in considering the addition of a
caterer license. Staff is proposing a caterer liquor license for incidental
alcohol with food service on a contract basis, consistent with the state
caterer classification.
Retailers have requested that the Sunday alcohol selling times be
amended to accommodate consumers wanting to purchase alcohol on
Sundays earlier than the current noon sales time. Staff has proposed
amending Sunday sales to the same start time as the other days of the
week.
Mayor Gaffner indicated that this was on the agenda as a discussion item
