The Alcohol Beverage Board approved an extended serving area and use of portable serving counters for Lenny’s restaurant, allowing outdoor events within the footprint of an existing foundation adjacent to the building and subject to planning‑and‑zoning requirements.

Applicant Daniel Rybarczyk described plans for a temporary tented area that would occupy an existing foundation adjacent to the restaurant’s rear dining room. He told the board he has applied to county planning and zoning for a simplified site plan so he can leave a slab in place and include utilities if he intends to use the space more than 14 times a year. "The tent size that we're actually negotiating to purchase right at this moment is a 40 by 60," Rybarczyk said during sworn testimony.

Board members and staff clarified the distinction between a temporary tent and a permanent slab. The board noted that if the site is used more than 14 times a year the county requires a simplified site plan; Rybarczyk said he has submitted that application to Planning & Zoning and expects the approval process to follow county timelines.

A board member moved to approve the extended serving area and portable serving counters, limited to the boundaries of the existing cinder‑block foundation shown on the applicant’s diagram; another board member seconded. The motion carried with no recorded opposition. The board recorded that the applicant had agreed to place a concrete slab in the indicated area and that any tent or temporary structure must conform to planning‑and‑zoning requirements.

The board advised the applicant to remove language referencing a "tenant structure" from the request to avoid confusion and reiterated that use beyond the county’s 14‑event threshold requires the applicant’s separate county approvals.
