The second time around, the Craft Beer Cellar received unanimous support from the Maplewood City council.
In July, when the owners of the craft beer shop in Clayton requested a permit to open their second location, in Maplewood, it was denied by a 6-1 vote. In the council meeting on Tuesday it passed 6-0. Mayor Jim White, who spoke against it in July, was absent.
- Maplewood council nixes craft beer, OKs cat cafe
- Maplewood commission OKs ordinance to allow craft beer shop
- Community supports Craft Beer Cellar in council meeting; council doesn’t reintroduce
Council members David Cerven, Shawn Faulkingham, Karen Wood and Fred Wolf reversed their vote from the July meeting to support the store. Barry Greenberg voted yes in both meetings.
- New restaurant concept planned for former A Pizza Story location
- Maplewood officials approve 3 restaurants, reject veterans memorial bids
It will take one more council meeting for final approval to amend the ordinance, then another two meetings after that for their conditional use permit.
Co-owner Brandon Nickelson said before the meeting that if approved they would open as soon as possible. The new location is 7415 Manchester Road.
This is fantastic news for anyone who loves beer, and believes in the idea of Maplewood as The center of the Craft Beer Universe!
YEAH.!!! I was not going to drive over to Clayton, but will enjoy dropping in to the Maplewood store.
why does it require two rounds of approval
In Maplewood, every ordinance and conditional use permit requires three readings (votes) of the council. The first two take place in one meeting and the third and final is in the following meeting.. or are you referring to the ‘second try’ reference? — The council voted it down the first time around, in July.
This is so great.
Can’t wait!!
Good job, Maplewood City Council! You heard the voice of the people and did the right thing
Agree, so happy to see they heard all the support from the community.
