Summary

The Village of Wauconda approved ordinances Feb. 3 that let Lucky Danny’s upgrade from a beer-and-wine license to a full-liquor Class A license and create a new Class A license for a speakeasy-style event lounge at 109 S. Main St.; staff noted the speakeasy previously received a conditional use permit.

The Village of Wauconda Board on Feb. 3 approved ordinances amending the village code to adjust the number of authorized liquor licenses so Lucky Danny’s can move from a Class C (beer and wine) license to a Class A (full liquor) license and to create a new Class A license for an event lounge at 109 South Main Street.

A village staff presenter explained that Lucky Danny’s requested the upgrade from Class C to Class A, which effectively eliminates one Class C license and creates a Class A license. The presenter also said the owners of the Main Street venue have requested a Class A license for a speakeasy-style event lounge; the transcript notes that the owners previously received a conditional use permit from the village board at the prior meeting.

The mayor asked for a motion and a second to approve each item; the board moved, seconded and approved the ordinances by roll call. The transcript does not include a complete named vote tally in the public record.

The changes amend the village code sections identified in the agenda (adjusting authorized liquor-license counts). No conditions or additional restrictions were recorded in the meeting transcript for either ordinance beyond the prior conditional use permit for the Main Street venue.
