Mayor David Pileski | Village of Roselle
The village board of Roselle recently discussed how to proceed with three different liquor license applications for the Roselle Station Plaza.
As discussed at the Jan. 23 board meeting, the owners of the business center are seeking a Class J license for a fast casual restaurant, serving beer and/or wine on the premises and they must have seating for no less than 30 patrons; a Class L license which allows for retail and consumption of alcohol on premises in a nail spa/salon setting; and a Class U license which allows for retail and consumption on premises for a business without food or a kitchen, as well as the sale of sealed containers of beer for customers to take home. The Class L license has not been used since it was created for one businesses previously in Roselle.
“The fact that we haven't used this very often, I wanted to get the board's kind of temperature before meeting with the owner to kind of give them our temperature and whether we want to move forward with that or not,” Roselle Mayor David Pileski said at the meeting. “It is very limited, I would say, in terms of its scope and whatnot. So while it seems a little bit unusual or maybe a little bit niche of a market, it does feel that we have the right regulatory steps in place.”
The board had no concerns about issuing a class J and class L license as it saw no potential issues or misuse of it. They also agreed on making a slight amendment to their class U coding, which would allow the Plaza to have a karaoke machine on premises. The board will be voting on the final licenses at a later date when the businesses submits final and formal paperwork.
The village board also approved increasing the amount of class F licenses from 13 to 14 and the number of class T licenses from 16 to 17. Both of these were in anticipation of issuing a class F and T license to Mangy Dog Pub in Roselle in the coming weeks. Class J and F deal with beer/wine and liquor, respectively, for restaurants with seating for at least 30 patrons not including seats at the bar.
