5. Regarding the sound proofing on the walls shared between the taproom and office space, If there is a legal issue with noise, shouldn't we address it as it comes up. What reason is there to resolve something that isn't an issue at this point? 6. Regarding building security. Common area building access is up to us as building owners, regardless of the brewery/taproom being approved or not. Side Note regarding parking: manufacturing is 812 not 8120 We reviewed the video from the October 5th City Council meeting. We have done our best to paraphrase the questions asked and answer them for your review. Matt Westgaard: Is it legal to have a taproom in industrial park. Response: Yes, It is extremely common for breweries/taprooms to be located in industrial zones. Matt Westgaard: Does having a Taproom on sight put them in violation of any state regulations. Response: This would need to be answered by the tenants. Matt Westgaard: How are restrooms used/shared in this structure? Response: Restrooms have been and will continue to be equally available to all tenants. John J. Dietz: Does the building require only one bathroom? Response: No. There are currently two bathrooms on site and according to the calculations provided by our architect, that is sufficient for the building uses and occupant load John J. Dietz: Do we have conditions in place to require more parking if the taproom expands? Response: For any expansion of the taproom, we would need to apply to the city for a parking variance. John J. Dietz: How would we find out if they expand the taproom? Response: We take some offense to this as a judgment of our character, but in order to expand beyond what is approved we would need to get appropriate permits for any construction. John J. Dietz: From what I understand there has been pressure on the tenants to leave. Response: This is absolutely false. Speculating on this matter and putting forward incorrect information does potential damage to our business and seems inappropriate for the city concil. We have never and will never "Pressure a tenant to leave". To demonstrate this, we have attached our written contact with the tenants. Matt Westgaard: If they had their own bathroom, they would not be infringing on the other tenants as much. Response: This same statement could be made for each tenant of this building. We are not infringing on any of the other tenant's rented space. We are using the bathrooms for our clients, the same right that each of the other tenants is awarded. Matt Westgaard: I'm concerned with taproom customers walking in the hallway. Response: There is no more reason to be concerned with our customers vs any other person. As stated at the top of this email, we have not had a single altercation or need to call the ERPD in over 2 % years of operation.
