Vote On Amended Lane Parke Plan Delayed By City Council

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — The second phase of Mountain Brook Village's Lane Parke development has undergone some revisions to its plan, but a vote regarding those revisions was delayed ny the Mountain Brook City Council this week.

The developer, Evson, Inc., is requesting approval of an ordinance that would let it amend the original traffic and access plan — allowing alternate drive-thru locations — and change the base zoning standards to permit four drive-thrus instead of three.

This sparked a bevy of feedback from residents, who packed the council chambers earlier this month during a hearing, according to a Village Living report.

Mel McElroy, an attorney with Maynard Cooper & Gale who represents Evson, asked for a continuation of the issue for the Sept. 23 council meeting.

McElroy said Monday that the possibility of a fast-casual restaurant in the Treadwell's block will be off the table moving forward. McElroy also said that Skipper Consulting will conduct additional traffic studies ahead of the Sept. 23 council meeting.
