The applicant is requesting the change of zone from Agricultural 5 acres to Family Agriculture 2 acres for 7.8 acres of land. The reason for the request is that the parcel is too big for the proposed brewery and soft drink bottling facility. The applicant is proposing the change of zone so they could subdivide this into three lots. This would allow different operators for the brewery and the soft drink bottling facility. They are considering that the brewery could be split into two components. One would be a micro brewery for beer and the other could possibly be for sake.
