Cullman proposes $2.5K minimum fine for lake violations, but many Catoma rules date to 2007

CULLMAN, Ala. – A homeowner on Lake Catoma can already mow the protected strip along the water only three times a year. What would change under a proposal before the Cullman City Council is the cost of a violation. The city’s 2007 ordinance set fines at $50 to $500 per violation. The proposed minimum is $2,500 per violation upon conviction. The Council is scheduled to give Ordinance No. 2026-56 a first reading Monday, Nov. 9. The proposal names Lake Catoma, Lake George and Duck River Reservoir. It is not yet law. “Our responsibility is to protect the quality and reliability of the drinking water supply that serves our residents, businesses and surrounding communities,” Cullman City Council President Kim Hall said. “Many of our existing regulations are nearly 20 years old and were written before Duck River Reservoir became part of our water system.” What already applies at Lake Catoma Although the earlier ordinance is numbered 2008-05, the signed copy shows the Council adopted it Nov. 26, 2007, nearly 19 years ago. It established a 35-foot buffer measured inland from the lake’s full-pool line, the mapped shoreline when the reservoir is full. That line stays put even when the water recedes.

Winter weather brings reminder of outdoor pet safety, Beau’s Law requirements

CULLMAN, Ala. – As colder temperatures make their way into north Alabama, pet owners are encouraged to take precautions to ensure animals kept outdoors have adequate shelter, warmth and protection from winter weather. With Alabama’s new Beau’s Law now in effect, providing proper care for outdoor dogs is not only a matter of responsible pet ownership but also a legal requirement. Beau’s Law, which took effect Oct. 1, 2026, establishes statewide standards for dogs kept outdoors, including requirements for shelter, food, water and tethering. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Garlan Gudger, R-Cullman, was inspired by a dog named Beau who gained statewide attention after being found chained outside during a snowstorm without adequate protection from the elements. Under the law, outdoor dogs must have access to shelter that protects them from rain, wind, snow and extreme temperatures. Shelters must be constructed from durable materials and include a solid floor, walls, a roof and an appropriate entrance that allows the animal to enter and exit freely. The structure must also be large enough for the dog to stand, turn around, lie down naturally and extend its limbs comfortably. Adequate ventilation, shade and protection from accumulated moisture are also required. While a

Planning Commission tables new 7 Brew site plan

CULLMAN, Ala. – The City of Cullman Planning Commission in August approved a short-form subdivision request for Murphy Oil USA. Back in May, the proposed site plan was approved, with contingencies from the city engineer relating to the Alabama Department of Transportation traffic and safety plan. At the Commission’s meeting on Monday, Nov. 2, an additional proposal for the site plan was discussed that would add a 7 Brew Coffee to the project at 800 Second Ave. NW. Two representatives from Brew Culture, LLC, 7 Brew Coffee’s corporate entity, addressed the Commission in an attempt to allay concerns about safety at the proposed new location. Commissioners said the area sees high traffic for numerous reasons, particularly, according to Commissioner Cheryl Harrison, because of nearby schools. She said the new location would add on to existing traffic congestion from school drop-off and pick-up times. Chairman Michael Sullins noted that while the project’s previous ALDOT contingencies were resolved, further resolution may be needed due to community safety concerns. Ultimately, the item was tabled until the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2026. The Commission did approve a site plan for an expansion at 1206 Sixth St. SW, located within Industrial Park 2.
