<br />help facilitate the financing and operations of the respective <br />operators. (Figure 3) <br /> <br />It should be noted that, when initially approved, the entire 14+ acre <br />site was envisioned for a bottling and brewery facility with <br />accommodations for a visitor center. This location was sought <br />because of the excellent natural resource - water - in this area. <br />That concept has not changed. What has changed, however, is the <br />creation of lots within the original 14+ acre area to make the project <br />financially more feasible and operational. <br /> <br />The applicant believes that the proposed 2-acre sized lots would <br />still provide adequate buffer around the surrounding vacant <br />properties and the existing bottling plant. <br /> <br />The proposed micro-brewery will include a production building, <br />warehouse structure, laboratory, and administration facilities <br />as well as the required improvements to the access roads and <br />parking areas. (see Exhibit C-1) These structures will be <br />constructed and operated in a manner consistent with terms of the <br />Special Permit. Plans for the other facilities (soft drink bottling and <br />distillery) have not been prepared as of yet. <br /> <br />The applicant understands that the subdivision plan submitted <br />herein may change prior to receipt of final subdivision approval to <br />accommodate County subdivision requirements and appropriate <br />conditions of zoning and, if appropriate, Special Permit approvals. <br /> <br />B. Proiect Timetable and Cost <br /> <br />The applicant hopes to secure the necessary County rezoning <br />approval as soon as possible and begin the subdivision process <br />immediately thereafter. Tentatively, plans call for having the land <br />subdivided by early to mid 2010, and the development of the micro- <br />brewery in mid 2012. <br /> <br />As all of the essential utilities are in, the cost associated with the <br />subdivision should be minimal. However, water meter and perhaps <br />some moderate road improvements may be needed. The applicant <br />does not anticipate these improvements to exceed $100,000. The <br />estimated construction cost of the brewery and related facilities, <br />however, would exceed $3 million. <br /> <br />v. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> <br />A.
