Background
On February 3, 2014, the Village Board adopted an Ordinance establishing a new Craft Brewery Class D-15 Liquor License classification.  On November 17, 2014, the Village Board adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow craft breweries as a special use in the Village's B-1/B-2 General Business Districts and a permitted use in the C Commercial District.  At that same meeting, the Board adopted an Ordinance granting a special use permit for a craft brewery at the Property.  The last step in the process to allow Noble Kinsman to open for business at the Property is the issuance of a liquor license.   At its meeting on February 24, 2015, the Liquor Control Review Board ("LCRB") unanimously recommended that a Class D-15 Liquor License be issued to Noble Kinsman.  
 
Alternatives
The Village Board could seek additional information or deny the requested Ordinance approval and corresponding license.
