SEANMEEHAN AND ANDREW WALTON <br />The petition of Sean Meehan and Andrew Walton seeking a Special Exception to allow manufacturing of food <br />products in a "LB" District, on property located at 1047 Lincolnway East, Portage Township. Zoned "LB ". <br />MR. ANDREW WALTON: 26559 St. Rd. 2, South Bend. <br />MR. SEAN MEEHAN: 2416 River Ave., Mishawaka. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: Is there anything you would like to add to your petition that would sway our vote your <br />way? <br />MR. WALTON: If we don't get the exception we won't be able to produce beer at the property and that's no <br />good. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: You're currently producing something someplace right now or no? <br />MR. WALTON: No. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: So this is a brand new venture? <br />MR. MEEHAN: Yes sir. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: And it's going to be started just a brew house or is it also going to have the restaurant, are <br />you going to do both sections right off the bat or are you just going to brew beer there for sale or are you going <br />to have a restaurant at the same time? <br />MR. WALTON: The idea is we're going to get the brewery on line so we can start producing packaged beer <br />before we open the main pub portion but it would also include an ale house, a pub portion in the same <br />building. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: By your drawing it looks like, for lack of a better term, the lower section's where your <br />brewery's going to be and then the restaurant will kind of be up on the hill there where they used to have the <br />big... <br />MR. WALTON: Yeah, that's primarily correct. The ale house will be actually on the same level as the <br />brewery but in a different section of the building and then we're going to, the plan is to utilize the upper floor <br />of the building also for family dining. <br />MR. VELLEMAN: How many are you going to employ? <br />MR. MEEHAN: We're not quite sure yet. We're looking at about 25 to 30. <br />MS. NAYDER: I just have a question. When you say ale house, is that more or less mean restaurant or ...? <br />Just your term for restaurant? <br />MR. MEEHAN: Exactly. <br />MR. PHIPPS: What changes are you going to be making to the existing structure? <br />
