Otty's and Mashtun Brewing building at 140 Broad St
Lake Geneva
Summary
Ellen McGarry urged the council to defer the 140 Broad Street project, citing liquor-license questions about who actually operates MashTon Brewing and concerns about 80 patrons, late hours and a zero-foot setback. The attorney said licensing wasn't before the council; the GDP still passed.

The old Bob's Beach Shack comes down for a new two-story building with a fish-and-chips shop below and a brewery taproom above. Construction traffic and the shared wall with Treasure Cove were the tricky parts.
