Distillery seeks variances for Athens project
Fifth Element Spirits owners Kelly Sauber and Deanna Schwartz seek two zoning variances to relocate their distillery to 237 W State St Athens. The plan faces a bottling works within 35 feet of a residential zone and an eating and drinking establishment 105 feet from an R residential zone, with distances contested by the city. The Athens Board of Zoning Appeal will review the request, citing the Athens Comprehensive Plan favoring reuse of vacant commercial buildings. SEE DISTILLERY ON PAGE A2.
