The petitioners have been involved in the bar/restaurant business in the past and are proposing to open a unique gathering spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The foods served will be fresh, creative and will utilize organic, local ingredients. The bar will include unique wines, craft beers, and classic cocktails.

The activities will be one (1) day/weekend per month with weather permitting. They indicate that they may want to expand the number of activities to twice a month. They indicate they will seek approval of their special activities prior to the activity and provide specific details. The petitioner is proposing to have the first floor, gazebo/deck and patio area licensed for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The petitioner will need to obtain a liquor license from the Town of Genesee Town Board. A retail restaurant license will also be required from Waukesha County Department of Parks and Land Use, Environmental Health Division for this operation. The interior floor plan will be slightly adjusted.
