Dear Committee Members: My name is Gary Nelson and I live at 5555 Box Elder Road, Marshall, Wisconsin in the Town of Medina. I have lived at that address for about 13 years. I am planning on building a tavern on the parcel of land described on the survey report. The building will be 40' wide and 80' long, with a second story. The First Floor will be a tavern, will serve sandwiches and homemade pizza and of course drinks. The second floor will have four two-bedroom apartments. I would like to start building as soon as possible and I would hope that a three month period would be long enough to finish my project. The property is located in Deansville, Wisconsin in the Town of Medina. The property is located next to the railroad tracks and is right on the edge of Deansville. I feel the proposed site is an ideal location. The feed mill would be south of the tavern and there would be no buildings to the North or East of the property. The entrance off Berlin Road would be on the West side of the property. I have already had a perk test done and the property is suitable for a conventional system, so that would be no problem. The tavern would be about a half mile to the North of Highway"19" and about a tenth of a mile off Highway "TT" . Deansville itself is about two miles from Marshall. A few years ago there was a tavern in Deansville, and I think the majority of the people in Deansville and the surrounding community would like to see one again. I have been in the tavern business for about 17 years, and at the present time I am selling insurance. 1 miss the tavern business and would like to get back into it. There isn't a place in Deansville to have a beer or soda or even a sandwich or pizza. I am looking to have a neighborhood bar where people can have a sandwich and beer or pizza and soda and can sit down and socialize with each other. I think it would be a shot in the arm for the community. I have the support of the Town of Medina Planning Committee and also the support of the Town of Medina Board. The size of the parcel I wish to have rezoned is three acres. It would be 15 rods wide and 32 rods long. Besides a tavern on the property there would also be a Softball Diamond, two Volley Ball Courts (which would have lights) and also about four Horseshoe Pits which would also have'lights. I was told that with this size parcel I would also have enough room for an alternate septic system drain field in the future. I feel that I have good experience in the tavern business, with a 17 year background. I have always run a reputable establishment and have never had any problem with the local law enforcement or with anyone in the Local or City Government. I feel people are changing, being more aware of the drinking and driving laws. You see more of the designated drivers, in all age groups. I would say people are drinking less when out in public. 1 am going to rely on a good line of sandwiches and pizza and maybe a Friday night fish fry to bring in the clientele that I am looking for. Also the young people are looking to more recreation to have fun, that's why I feel the Softball Field and the Volley Ball Courts and the Horseshoe Pits will help accomplish this. Thank you for your time and consideration and I am looking forward to meeting with you. Thank You, Gary J. Nelson 07 1990 IMAM
