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.

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.

Revised Cullman ordinance drops proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George

CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council gave a first reading Monday, Nov. 9, to a revised drinking water ordinance that drops the proposed 25-foot shoreline buffer at Lake George. The council took no vote on Ordinance No. 2026-56 . (See previous story: www.cullmantribune.com/2026/11/08/cullman-proposes-2-5k-minimum-fine-for-lake-violations-but-many-catoma-rules-date-to-2007 ) The first draft named three lakes. The revision names the two that supply Cullman’s drinking water today, Lake Catoma and Duck River Reservoir. It specifies a 35-foot buffer at Catoma and a 100-foot buffer at Duck River, each measured inland from the shoreline when the reservoir is full. Cullman began using Lake George as a water source in 1958. The city later disconnected it from the water system after Lake Catoma and its treatment plant came into service in 1967, according to Tribune archives. The revised ordinance still says the Utilities Board owns property at “all current and former water supply lakes.” If Cullman draws drinking water from Lake George again, the proposed rules for land adjoining the public water supply could apply there. The revised text sets no buffer width for Lake George. Council President Kim Hall said city and utility officials had encountered three different ordinances over the past year and wanted residents
