Council tables request for beer, wine variance

Brownwood City Council members tabled a request Tuesday for a variance that would allow a con-venience store located near the Brownwood school district administration building and guidance center to sell alcoholic beverages.

Steve Fryar requested the variance for the sale of beer and/or wine at the Food Plaza store at 2800 Southside. The store’s property line is 111 feet from the BISD property line, according to an agenda item briefing sheet by City Manager Bobby Rountree.
