Applicant Deborah Paddock says bank will support move, plans 6–8 month conversion
Summary
Deborah Paddock, co-owner of ATV Summit, told the board she and her partner have placed a purchase price, the bank indicated support, and they expect a 6—8 month timeline to install a kitchen and move operations if the use variance is approved.
Deborah Paddock, co-owner of the eatery at ATV Summit, told the Board of Appeals she and her partner have placed an accepted price on the property and would move if the variance is approved. She told the board the bank had signaled support for financing the purchase. "The the bank even said, yes. We can support this move," Paddock said during her remarks.
Paddock said she and her partner own most of their current restaurant equipment and will need architects and contractors to adapt the former floral shop for food service, including installing a kitchen and relocating systems. She estimated the conversion would take about six to eight months, and said the applicants plan to operate seven days a week with primary hours roughly 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the possibility of later service on some evenings such as Friday fish fries. She also described frustrations with a current landlord at her existing location and said selling that business without owning the building would leave little equity to transfer.
