CLEVELAND, Ga. – The City Council approved, during their meeting on Monday, an agreement with the White County Sheriff’s office for housing persons arrested by city police.
The city will pay the county $45 per diem for the housing services. This is an annual agreement, and the cost of services will remain the same as last year.
In other business, the council denied a request from Trey Crumley, with Ron Cantrell Construction, who was representing Metrick and Howard Properties, seeking a variance from the city’s standard development specifications.
The request asks that the company be able to construct a metal building on Wilford Ash Parkway for a Grease Monkey Oil Change business.
The city’s construction code requires that exterior building materials be stucco, wood, stone, or brick. Crumley requests a variance due to the building’s special design. But the council said it wanted to stick with the standards approved by the city council in 2016.
The city’s Planning and Zoning Board unanimously denied the variance, so the applicant appealed to the city council.
City Council members agreed to stick with the standards for this construction.
