Dear City of Oshkosh Council Members,
I am writing in response to the letter that I received from the City CIerk regarding
the property and liquor license for 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 Jockey Club on
Gruenwald Street in Oshkosh was included in the agreement between Gail and
myself for the purchase of the Timbuktu property. We were to rebuild the Jockey
Club and help the business to be successfully running prior to our planned
redevelopment of the property on 17th Avenue. Due to unforeseen circumstances
related to the condition of the building, the Jockey Club, our original plan of 3
months became an 8 -month project, which brought us into December. Therefore the
Post 1908 redevelopment project was delayed due to winter building challenges for
a project of this size. During our project at the Jockey Club we were also
redeveloping Chester V's and continuing the improvements at The Beachcomber.
In light of the time frames and amount of work, 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 property 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 email mrvienola @yahoo.com.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
