Bowling Green will soon have a Ruby Tuesday restaurant, according to a detailed development plan coming before the City-County Planning Commission of Warren County Thursday evening. The casual dining restaurant is slated for a 1.41-acre spot at 2925 Scottsville Road, on the site of the former Hops restaurant and microbrewery. The planning commission will hold a public hearing on the plan, which includes demolishing the current 8,100-square-foot building and replacing it with a 4,600-square-foot structure. The site is at the front of the shopping center containing Kroger and Kmart, which is zoned for planned unit development, according to Zoning Administrator Daniel Faller. Anytime such a development changes, a hearing must be held on the detailed development plan. A nice thing about it is, theyre now required to meet the landscaping ordinance, Faller said. So theyll have a little more landscaping around it. Maryville, Tenn.-based Ruby Tuesday has more than 600 restaurants, according to Terina Stewart, executive assistant to Rick Johnson, senior vice president of Ruby Tuesday. As elsewhere, the chain will offer a large salad bar, a variety of hamburgers and other dishes. Entrees will cost around $10 at its Bowling Green location, she said. Right now it looks like construction will start around the first of September, Stewart said. The building should be finished in January 2004, with a planned opening date of Feb. 17, she said. It will probably employ 80 to 85 people, and hiring will begin 30 to 45 days before the opening date. Name changePlanning commissioners will vote on changing the name of a section of Cemetery Road to Mount Victor Lane. The stretch from Briteway Drive to just past the intersection with Lovers Lane has been bypassed by the Cemetery Road interchange construction project, creating two Cemetery Roads; so the county has asked that the old sections name be changed to keep matters clear for 911 operators, Planner Steve Hunter said. Historic housesAlso up for approval will be the designation of houses at 1405 State St. and 1046 Elm St. as Local Historic Designation landmark sites, as requested by the Bowling Green Historic Preservation Board. When both sites were rezoned in the last few months, one of the required items in their binding elements was to apply for historic designation, said Robin Zeigler, historic preservation planner for the planning commission. The Elm Street house, built around 1930, was rezoned in January to become the new home of the Bowling Green Chamber Orchestra. The State Street house, built in 1910, was rezoned to allow it to become a bed and breakfast, a use that did not last long. Even though its not a bed and breakfast anymore, its still in their binding elements, so they did apply, Zeigler said. The designation will make the property owners comply with the same standards as one of Bowling Greens historic districts, which requires any alteration in their historic exteriors, any new construction, demolition or relocation to be approved with a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board.
