Bluffton council is working the Jonah Agner, owner of Greenhorn Restaurant, as Agner has requested to serve patrons on the sidewalk in front of his business on Vine Street.
Agner’s request is to serve patrons dinners and alcohol. Council discussed the request on April 12. Council’s streets and sidewalk committee brought the request to council following a March 24 committee meeting.
The committee is requesting that pedestrians have a four-foot walk-through clearance on the sidewalk. There would also be tables positioned and a barrier in place.
Doty's Auto Repair and Wheel Alignment, LLC, 180 E. Jefferson St., continues to be open and serve its customers during the Jefferson Street project, according to Mike Doty, owner.
"Customers can easily acces our shop by using the alley on East Elm Street," said Doty.
Jefferson Street is open only to local traffic while Phase II of the street reconstruction is underway, so Doty's front entrance on Jefferson Streetmay be times unavailable to customers.
Bluffton’s 2021’s first quarter experienced $389,013 in building permit total figures on 11 permits filed with the village, according to Bryan Lloyd, assistant village administrator.
This is a giant leap from last year’s first-quarter covid-19 infested period, which saw four permits totally $84,804.
However, it is a far cry from the first quarter of 2019, which totaled $531,200 and $2018, which totaled $11.8 million. In 2018, GROB had a $10 building program.
Breaking down 2021 permits find one house, one accessory building plus several small projects.
