DRAFT  .

spirits is not listed in the table and would therefore be prohibited as well as the storage of fuel or other
liquids being prohibited.

Mr. Mike Wolniewicz said he was told the village attorney is looking into updating the codes, but it could
be several months, and he is targeting September for the new tenant and does not want to have them move
in and then find out they cannot produce the mead. He is asking the board to examine the case to
determine if they agree that it should be allowed,

Mr. Wolniewicz explained that it does not qualify as industrial as the mead will only be created there in  |
small amounts then moved off premises to storage for a year before it is ready. Member Bob Laskowski  |
asked about the size of the tanks and was told there would be three seventy gallon tanks and they are  :
required to have a remediation process for spill containment in the event of any cracks in the tanks. The
contents made up of lemon ginger and honey are not considered hazardous or combustible and will be out
of sight and not have any odor that would be a nuisance. When asked about alcohol content he said 13%.

Chairman Joe Wolniewicz asked the board to vote and explained he would be abstaining as he is related
to the applicant. The board members all agreed that this would not be considered industrial and that the
content not being hazardous should be allowed.

Mr. Michael Wolniewicz thanked the board for taking the time te hear his case.

At 7:25 pm Chairman Wolniewicz opened the next public hearing file # 10873 for Wendys 153 S.
Cascade Dr. for an area variance. Mr. Tom Shelberg the architect and Mr. Joe Roosa the owner of the lot
came forward to explain that the size of the lot is 31,319.64 feet and the frontage of 137 feet which is
under the requirement of 40,000 by two hundred sq feet.

Mr. Roosa went on to explain the lot size having a unique shape due to when he purchased it from an  :
auction there was approximately eighteen feet of it that the Emerling dealership used for their parking lot  i
by mistake. He also mentioned that he owns both the Aldis and Monroe stores lots and they are leased.
Wendys did require a curb cut and the town approved it.  i
