Pipsqueak Wine is requesting forgivable loan funds for the construction of an outdoor patio space that will enhance the street corner at N 64th Street and W North Avenue.  The outdoor space at 6404 W North Ave is owned by Galnahan Redbrick LLC, an LLC owned by Joe Galbraith and Nick Carnahan, also the owners of 6410 W North Avenue.  Pipsqueak Wine sells wine and beer for on and off-site consumption as well as charcuterie plates and small bites.  Pipsqueak Wine’s entrance is south-facing and opens onto a ramp that leads to the southwest edge of the outdoor seating and will be the access point for people going back and forth between the two.  In addition to landscaping improvements, a pergola and seating for 12 will be installed, enhancing this space and the corner of North Avenue.  Pipsqueak Wine is in the process of obtaining required City permits and approvals.  Staff recommends approval of funding up to the maximum $15,000 reimbursement.
