Board to consider second Internet cafe




The Wilson Board of Adjustment will consider its second special use permit this year for an Internet-based cafe tonight.

Richard Phillips, of Clemmons, is asking for the permit to operate the business from 1301 Ward Blvd., in the Boulevard Plaza. The cafe will allow customers to purchase time on computers for Internet access, e-mail and sweepstakes. They would also have access to fax, printing and copy services. The business is similar to another, Fish the Net Internet Cafe, at 1700 Raleigh Road Parkway, which received a permit to open in April.

"I think it's a new type of enterprise that's going in around the state," said Kathy Garner, a planner for the city of Wilson.

Also during the meeting, the board will consider:

* A variance request to reduce the street frontage landscape buffer at 2410 Montgomery Drive.

* A special use permit for the operation of a chemical storage and distribution facility at 2905 Yukon Road.

The board will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
