Included in this submission: <br />A. Introduction and overview. <br />B. Patio and Dog park <br />C. Notes from Oct. 5tn City Council meeting. <br />D. Tenant questions and comments from Oct. 5th <br />E. Written contact with tenants <br />A: Introduction and overview <br />Thank you for taking the time to review our request once again. We are doing our best to <br />answer all questions that have come up and shed some light on our goals and business <br />practices. Our "end goal" is to create a "destination" brewery that would attract patrons <br />from all over MN. The brewery industry has an extremely large demographic and attracts all <br />ages, genders, races and beliefs to gather and enjoy each others company over a well crafted <br />ale. That being said, our "primary goal" is to create a place for Elk River residents to go and <br />have a drink, some entertainment and get to know each other. <br />In 2 years and 8 months we have not had one incident or physical altercation in our taproom <br />on Main st. Not once have the police been called and not once has a DUI been linked to our <br />taproom. We have operated a safe and welcoming taproom that demands the respect of <br />patrons to the bar and to each other. We have also been very supportive downtown <br />neighbors and have worked to promote individual downtown businesses and the downtown <br />economy as a whole. To question whether we will be "good neighbors" or if our clientele <br />would be "dangerous", is to not look at body of work since opening. We hope you will see <br />this and understand that we are kind, generous and understanding business owners and will <br />operate within the strict moral guidelines we set for ourselves. <br />Thank you again for your time, please feel free to reach out with any questions. <br />Tim & Jeremy Jones <br />C: Regarding the request to action for the city council meeting on 10/5/2020: <br />1. I'm wondering how we can get the facility to building and fire compliance without being able <br />to request a building permit? From our previous experience in getting the first location built <br />out, we were not allowed to pull any permits until we have a CUP approval from the council. <br />2. Regarding the parking lot being striped by April 1: Many of the parking lots in the <br />surrounding area are not striped... but we will have this completed even though it seems <br />unevenly applied in this zone. <br />3. We would like to have the patio bordered by semi -permanent posts and rope. The purpose <br />being to allow for easy plowing in the winter and for the expansion of the patio for special <br />events. <br />4. As we expand, we would like to use the front lawn for future patio space. We would request <br />the approval of the rear patio and side yard (dog park) and remove the language about having <br />only 1 patio? <br />
