Cave Spring pauses commercial permits to address floodplain oversight

Cave Spring’s 90-day moratorium on commercial property permits is now in effect as city officials work to address gaps in floodplain administration and improve the city’s permitting procedures. The Cave Spring City Council enacted the moratorium Oct. 13 following a first reading in September. The measure temporarily freezes the issuance of building and development permits for commercial properties across the city, including those outside designated flood zones. City Manager Stephen Walker said the measure received no public opposition during the meeting and gives officials time to work. “We wanted to standardize our procedures when it comes to permitting as one thing, but secondarily, most of it was due to flood administration,” Walker said. The moratorium follows concerns about floodplain oversight that Walker raised in September, when he said certain training and qualifications had not been maintained for two to three years. Walker said the city’s transition to Bureau Veritas, a third-party building inspection and code enforcement firm, had left a gap in floodplain administration. The city also received a report from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division raising concerns about its responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program. Walker said he plans to serve as the city’s designated floodplain administrator and

New soda shop coming to Hickory Road in Holly Springs

HOLLY SPRINGS — Drivers who travel along Hickory Road in Holly Springs will know of a large skeleton standing next to the road, but they may not know that behind the skeleton is a new soda shop that is under construction. This business is called Fizzology Soda Shop, located at 2805 Hickory Road in Holly Springs. Co-Founder Amy Guest said the soda shop is under construction, with the goal of completing the first phase, the drive thru, by the end of the year. The second phase, projected to start at the beginning of the new year, will include adding indoor seating. Guest said they plan to have the outdoor area ready by the spring, with the goal of opening the shop shortly after. Guest said the drive-thru should be open while the rest of the building is built out, if Holly Springs approves a variance request later this month. The shop will offer lemonades, "dirty" sodas, Italian sodas, coffee and "dirty" energy drinks. "The 'dirty' part is the different flavors and cream — no alcohol, so we are a whole family favorite. It adds a different element to the drinks and changes and enhances the flavor of the soda," she
