Dear City of Oshlcosh Council Members,
[ am writing in response to the letter that I received from the City Clerlc regarding
the property and liquor license far the address of 129 W.17th Avenue currently Post
1908 formerly known as Timbuktu and VFW Post.
As you are aware of the former owner Gayle Savka transferred the liquor license
into my name with the purchase of the property. The remodel of the Jocicey Club on
Gruenwald Street in Oshlcosh was included in the agreement between Gail and
myself for the purchase of the Timbuktu property. We were to rebuild the Jocicey
Club and help the business to be successfully running prior to our planned
redevelopment of the property on 17�h Avenue. Due to unforeseen circumstances
related ta the condition af the building, the Jocicey Club, our original plan of 3
months became an 8-month project, which brought us into December. Therefore the
Post 1908 redevelopment praject was delayed due to winter building challenges for
a project of this size. During our projec� at fihe Jocicey Club we were also
redeveloping Chester V's and continuing the improvements at The Beachcomber.
In light of the time frames and amount of worlc, the Post 1908 project was pushed
forward to begin the summer of 2016 with a completion goal of late 2016. A lack of
liquor license at the praperty would halt the redevelopment plans that were
submitted to you in spring of 2015. In the plans that were provided you will be able
to visualize that when finished Post 1908 will be a mixed-use development with
residential and commercial use.
For any further questions feel free to contact me by phone or text message 920-579-
0532 or via emait mrvienola@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Si cerel
Matthew R. Vienola
