MOUNTAIN BROOK, Alabama -- The Mountain Brook City Council tonight voted to delay voting on whether or not to approve the return of the Crestline Piggly Wiggly.

Council members said they believe the public deserves more time to review the latest plans submitted. Developers presented a new plan at the Council Meeting tonight, one different than the one presented during the Nov. 3 Planning Commission meeting. For that reason, agreed the council, it is better to wait and allow the public to review the new plan with more time.

The site plan, which first came to light with minimal details during a June 23 pre-council meeting, has a variety of different parts.

Plans prepared by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood and presented to the Planning Commission on Nov. 3, indicate the 28,250 square-foot store of combined retail and storage space would be built between Church Street and Vine Street across three different lots.

Currently, the lots are owned by different individuals, each of whom has applied for rezoning. Lot 48 is zoned as a "Professional District." Lots 50 and 52 are zoned "Residence D Districts." In order to accommodate the Pig, all three would need to be re-zoned as a "Local Business District" to allow for commercial development.

The entrance to the store would face the Mountain Brook Board of Education building, while the majority of traffic would enter the site through Church Street. An additional public access point would exist via Vine Street, along with designated truck entrances for loading. Parking would be available directly in front of the building, along Vine Street and along the Church Street access where the Girl Scout building currently stands.

Several new pedestrian crossings would also be created around the property and within in to create safer walking routes for customers.

Plans to bring the Pig back have been long in the making--beginning almost immediately after the store closed in November 2013 after a long fight by residents to keep it open.
