Tony Harmening, an experienced caterer is proposing to develop a Cattle House <br />restaurant with a future phase event center on the city owned property on Hwy 61 and <br />Egg Lake. The 4,500 SF restaurant will be a family style steakhouse and bar. The <br />building is designed to accommodate a future 200 capacity event center that would share <br />the kitchen facility. A large outdoor deck is over looking a pond feature that is an <br />extension of the lake and could host paddle boating. The architecture is designed with a <br />large sloped roof that opens up to the lake. Large overhead glass doors would open up to <br />the lake. The massing takes its cues from the grain silos across the highway. High <br />quality materials such as stone, timbers, glass and barnwood siding combine for a rustic/ <br />industrial vibe. Decorative light fixtures and extensive landscaping reflect a quality <br />development. The restaurant would be surrounded by recreational activities such as <br />outdoor volleyball, horseshoes and corn hole toss in the summer and broomball, <br />snowmobiling and firepit in the winter. On off-peak hours a farmers market with local <br />vendors could occur in the parking lots that could reinforce the organic and local <br />branding of the restaurant. These activities would be a benefit for both the restaurant and <br />the community. The site plan is master planned for further future development. The plan <br />takes advantage of views and access to the lake as well as maintaining views of the lake <br />from Hwy 61. Several structures are placed along Hwy 61 for an urban character, while <br />other buildings are situated on the lake amenity. Parking is shared throughout the site <br />and offers easy access for all uses. A trail system throughout the site connects the <br />community to these site amenities. Future access is designed into the plan as the east and <br />west sites become available for development. Ironically, the architect designing the <br />restaurant is named Kathy Anderson, which is the same name as the restaurant owner that <br />was previously on this site. <br />
