In other business on Wednesday, the board passed over a CoA application for 209 South Market Street, the former location of 4 Star Concert Hall.
The request is to build a structure covering an outdoor barbecue smoker for the new Sweet Ivy’s Café and The Southern Folly, but the application as submitted did not meet code requirements. The city expects to receive an updated application.
