Bernet noted approximately 2 to 5 percent of the business will be <br />food sales. <br />Wilson stated the gross food sales on their other stores are 2 to 3 percent of their total sales and that it is a <br />nice amenity. <br />Bernet stated the liquor sales would be very minimal and that they would just like to be able to offer it. <br />Schoenzeit asked if they see it as a deal breaker if the liquor is not allowed. <br />Bernet indicated it would not be at this time. <br />Brad Haaf, stated he is one of the partners that owns the building and that Snyders moved out <br />approximately seven years ago. Haaf indicated they have been aggressively marketing the site and there <br />is not a lot of residential daytime population. Haaf commented this particular use will cater to the <br />existing neighborhood. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. <br />Jim Anderst, 5230 County Road 151, Minnetrista, stated he does not believe anyone has taken into <br />consideration how Orono has always been steadfast with their ordinances and how they do not change to <br />adopt to a new business. In addition, nobody has taken into consideration the fact that it will be a <br />production bakery. Anderst asked how many employees there will be and how many parking stalls will <br />be needed for customers and the production employees. Anderst stated in his view there is not enough <br />parking. <br />Page 5 of 15 <br />
