P&Z advances request to abandon part of alley for restaurant construction

Webb City Planning and Zoning Commission members on Tuesday advanced Terry Quarles’ request to abandon a portion of the alley behind his proposed restaurant on East Broadway.

Quarles, 1315 S. Hall St., a steel-truss building contractor, is in the process of expanding the size of the building on the southwest corner of Broadway and Hall Street for a two-story restaurant. He said he’s in the process of buying the lot south of that building to use for parking.

He is also acquiring the adjacent two-story building to be used for rental housing. Some may remember that building housed an auto parts store prior to becoming an antiques store. The ground-floor commercial space has been unused for several years.

The Longhorn Bar is on the west end of the block.

Quarles’ request is to abandon just the west 109 feet of the east-west alley between Tom and Hall streets.

City Attorney Troy Salchow said he would try to prepare Quarles’ request written as a proposed ordinance for the City Council’s agenda on Monday, Aug. 24.
