The <br /> proposed use will be located in the westerly half of the building in which the Narrows Saloon occupies <br /> the easterly half. The entire building is owned by Narrows, LLC, whose principal manager is the <br /> applicant. <br /> The new use is proposed as being a separate restaurant use, not as an expansion of the Narrows Saloon. <br /> The new restaurant will have separate kitchen and dining facilities and will not have direct connections to <br /> the Saloon but will share restroom facilities with the saloon. <br /> Page 1 of 28 <br />
