Mr. Aggerbeck <br /> purchased the business in 2015, but not the land or buildings. Mr. Aggerbeck had seen the business <br /> grow two and a half times and anticipated an additional growth of 20%-30%this year. Mr. Aggerbeck <br /> reported that he started with just four employees, and now employed 14 employees. Mr. Aggerbeck <br /> was seeking a way to expand his business at the site, noting that a portion of the property was located <br /> within the Historic District, and was ,seeking feedback before considering the purchase of the property. <br /> The site of the proposal totaled 3.65 acres, with two buildings on-site, one measuring 3,500 square feet <br /> and the other 2,000 square feet. In Mr. Aggerbeck's proposed plan, he would maintain one of the <br /> buildings and add another building which would be two times larger. There was discussion regarding <br /> the front portion of the property being located within the Historic District, but it was confirmed that <br /> any portion of a parcel within the District meant that the entire parcel fell under the guidelines of the <br /> Historic District. <br /> Mr. Aggerbeck indicated that the existing building offered no opportunity for expansion. Mr. <br /> Aggerbeck was considering purchasing the property in order to expand by adding an additional roaster, <br /> packing equipment, storage space, cafe and restaurant, Cape & Islands Distilling with a tasting room <br /> and an 18-hole miniature golf course. Mr. Balzarini and Ms. Baird stated that confirmation would be <br /> needed to determine whether the proposal would be allowable and whether finishes would be in <br /> keeping with the historic character of the district. Mr. Balzarini felt that miniature golf would be out of <br /> character for the Historic District, noting that restaurants had been located in the District and a <br /> distillery likely would not add significant traffic. Ms. Baird indicated that the Committee could not <br /> vote on a proposal without specific plans and details regarding the finishes. Ms. Silva provided Mr. <br /> Aggerbeck with a copy of the Historic District Manual. There was discussion regarding the existing <br /> 1 <br />
