August 4, 2011 Proposed Buildout Phases for West Flanders Brewing Co. 1303 Empire Rd. Louisville, CO 80027 Prepared for Louisville Planning & Zoning The intent of the following information is to provide the City of Louisville Planning and Zoning Dept. an insight into the short and long term plans proposed by West Flanders Brewing Co. with regards to possibly occupying and operating at 1303 Empire Rd. in Louisville, CO as a microbrewery. This information is truthful and accurate based on what is known about the current building and what is required by the business to operate effectively. Phase I - Microbrewery Buildout We will remodel the inside of the current structure. There will be no changes to the square footage of the current building which measures approximately 4,500 sq/ft. The section of the building which is currently housed in the "metal" portion of the building will be the manufacturing area which will house the production equipment and provide storage for manufacturing materials and finished goods. The remodel will include installing floor drains, additional electrical outlets and hose bibs, as well as two small rooms to house the grain mill and steam boiler. This portion measures approximately 3,300 sq/ft. The 800 sq/ft. portion of the building situated on the West side of the building currently being used as offices, will serve as our tap room and retail outlet. This area will have a bar, restroom(s), and six tables. Total indoor seating will accommodate approximately 30 individuals. We intend to build a deck or patio on the West side of the building to serve as additional customer seating during the warmer months. We envision the deck or patio measuring approximately 800 sq/ft and would accommodate another 30-35 customers. This area will be accessible via a garage -style door installed in the West wall of the building. The deck or patio will be built around the three large pine trees currently located on the West side of the building, but the juniper bushes and dilapidated landscaping items will be removed permanently. The customer entrance will remain where it is today, which is located on the SW corner of the building. We will have no food being produced inside the building at this time. We would like to explore the feasibility of having a purveyor offer food to our patrons from a mobile food truck parked in our parking lot. We will employ 8-10 full-time employees by the end of year one in case this information is needed for occupancy data. We will connect the building to the sewer system.
