Another potential tenant contacted us about our empty space after the sprinkler decision came down. A small, new, local winery was interested in putting in a wine tasting room to sell their wine and related paraphernalia. The restaurant owner then planned on selling her current bar set up to them. She would sell drinks still, but serve them out of the kitchen.
They also worked out a sharing of the utility costs since the restaurant owner has now taken over paying those. Then Gary checked with the City. They required us to pay an architect $300 and then determined that we must build a firewall completely around the space before they will give us permission to rent it to the winery. Gary estimates the cost for this would be thousands of dollars, well above the return we could get from the rental of the space. So, it appears the area must remain office space. God has a different plan.
