The Town Council is considering an application for a new restaurant liquor license for Jackson Drug LLC. The building is under restoration to revert it back to its original state, including a full kitchen, dining area, soda fountain, and mercantile. The application has been distributed to various town departments for review, ensuring compliance with relevant codes and regulations. The council will consider the application, keeping in mind Wyoming Statutes regarding issuing liquor licenses and concerns raised from staff review.

The Jackson Town Council convened a special session to interview candidates and deliberate on appointments for the Town's Planning & Zoning Commission / Board of Adjustment, Board of Examiners, and the Public Art Taskforce.

The Town Council is considering an Encroachment Agreement with Overdyke Revocable Trust for property at 2128 Hidden Ranch Lane.

The applicant is requesting a new Encroachment Agreement for a driveway that extends 25' into the right-of-way on Hidden Ranch Lane as well as a retaining wall that extends 6' into the right-of-way on Hidden Ranch Lane. The applicant is also requesting to install a snow melt system similar to the existing driveway. The Planning Director provides no recommendation on this request.
