2.a. Consider/recommend Granting New 2019 Reserve “Class B” Intoxicating Liquor/Fermented Malt
Beverage License to Highline Vault, Inc. (Coco’s Seafood & Steakhouse):
Coenen reported the City received an application for a Reserve “Class B” Intoxicating Liquor/Fermented
Malt Beverage license from Highline Vault, Inc to sell intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverages at
151 St. Paul Street for a new restaurant named Coco’s Seafood & Steakhouse. This is the license that was
put on hold by Council in 2013 for City Hall North Redevelopment Area. The restaurant will operate out of
first floor of the Fowler Lake Village building. Coenen stated she verified with the owner that the soft
opening date will be mid-January and open to the public in late-January. Therefore, it is suggested that if
the license is granted, a condition be made that the Clerk not issue the license until the owner confirms the
opening date but no later than February 28th. If the opening does not occur by February 28th the license will
not be issued, and the applicant would have to come back to Council for reapproval. The applicant meets
all Chapter 12 and State Statue licensing requirements.
Motion by Shaw to recommend granting a new 2019 Reserve “Class B” Intoxicating Liquor/Fermented Malt
Beverage License to Highline Vault, Inc. conditioned on the Clerk not issuing the license until the owner
confirms the opening date, but no later than February 28th; second by Spiegelberg. Motion carried 2-0.
3.b. Consider/recommend Granting New 2019 Class “B” Fermented Malt Beverage and “Class C”
Wine Licenses to Steelhead Aleworks, LLC (Steelhead Aleworks):
Coenen reported the City received an application for a Class “B” Fermented Malt Beverage and “Class C”
Wine licenses from Steelhead Aleworks, LLC Inc to sell fermented malt beverages at 1225 Robruck Drive,
Ste A (former Hops & Leisure location). Coenen stated she verified with the owner that they are looking to
opening mid-January. The applicant meets all Chapter 12 and State Statue licensing requirements.
Motion by Spiegelberg to recommend granting a new 2019 Class “B” Fermented Malt Beverage and “Class
C” Wine Licenses to Steelhead Aleworks, LLC; second by Shaw. Motion carried 2-0.
3.b. Consider/recommend Creating §8.10(2)(c) of the City of Oconomowoc Municipal Code Relating
to House Numbering:
Kitsembel reported the City’s municipal code currently requires the assignment of house numbers using a
base line numbering system or grid system for public safety purposes. Riffle stated due to questions
raised about this requirement for the attachment of the Southwood Subdivision, it has been determined
S:\Committees & Commissions\Protection & Welfare Committee\Minutes\2019\PWMin12-17-19.doc
there may be certain unique situations in which this requirement may be waived if determined by the Public
Safety Director upon consideration of public safety. The Committee discussed changing the language to
the Chief of Police recommending to Council a waiver from the house numbering requirement of the base
line numbering system due to no public safety concerns, and Council making the final determination.
Motion by Shaw to recommend the ordinance to create §8.10(2)(c) of the Municipal Code relating to House
Numbering with the amendment that the Chief of Police may recommend to Council a waiver from the
house numbering requirement of the base line numbering system due to no public safety concerns and that
Council would make the final determination; second by Spiegelberg. Motion carried 3-0.
Motion by Spiegelberg to adjourn; second by Shaw. Motion carried 3-0. The meeting adjourned at 6:24
PM.

Common Council
From: Diane Coenen, Clerk
Re: Coco’s Seafood & Steakhouse – Reserve “Class B” License
RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic Goal – Focus on Economic Development
BACKGROUND
The City received an application for a Reserve “Class B” Intoxicating Liquor/Fermented Malt Beverage license
from Highline Vault, Inc., Mark Rossetti, Agent, to sell intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverages at 151 St
Paul Street. Coco’s Seafood & Steakhouse is a new restaurant that will operate out of the Fowler Lake Village
building . There will be seating for 96 and a full-service bar (see attached floor plan.) The applicant meets all
Chapter 12 and State licensing requirements.
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
This reserve license was put on “hold” by Council on February 5, 2013 for the City Hall North Redevelopment
Area. Council had previously adopted Resolution 12-R2376 acknowledging the CDA entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding with Rockwell Development, LLC (Fowler Lake Village) for the development of a mixed-use
project containing retail/office space, a restaurant and residential condominiums. The City agreed through the
MOU to put key elements in place which included reserving a license to ensure its availability when the project
moved forward.
As of this writing, the owner plans to open later in January 2020. I would like to suggest granting the license with
a condition that the Clerk not issue the license until the owner confirms the opening date but not later than
February 28th. If the opening does not occur by February 28th the license will not be issued and the applicant
would have to come back to Council for reapproval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is an initial fee of $10,000.00 for a Reserve “Class B” license in addition to the license fee.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee Recommendation: Move to recommend granting a new 2019 Reserve “Class “B” Intoxicating
Liquor/Fermented Malt Beverage license to Highline Vault, Inc. on the condition the Clerk not issue the license
until the owner confirms the opening date, but not later than February 28, 2020.

From: Sarah Kitsembel, City Administrator
Re: House Numbering Ordinance
RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
n/a
BACKGROUND
The City’s municipal code currently requires the assignment of house numbers using a base line numbering
system, commonly referred to as a grid system. This system is in place for public safety purposes aligning all
property addresses within the City on a consistent system. With the upcoming attachment of the Southwoods
Subdivision, questions were raised about this requirement. In reviewing the matter further, it was determined
there may be certain unique situations in which this requirement may warrant waiver. The attached ordinance
is drafted to provide a provision within the City’s code that the Chief of Police may waive the base line system
numbering if he/she determines it is not necessary upon consideration of public safety.
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
n/a
FINANCIAL IMPACT
n/a
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the approval of the waiver provision to be incorporated into the City’s municipal code.
SUGGESTED MOTION
Move to approve the Ordinance to Create Section 8.10(2)(c) of the City Code Relating to House Numbering.
