We are proposing to remodel the existing single family residence into a Drinking Establishment. We plan to serve a light menu of food that would be prepared off site, using a vent-less convection oven for the purpose of re-heating onsite. We will use a Dishwasher/Sanitizer for glassware. We are working with Nathan Cleaver to design a new septic system. The exterior of the structure will have minor improvements, we will be focusing on the interior. One area we are looking for clarity on is how the size of an outdoor deck might impact the number of parking spaces required and/or restrooms/WC count.
