Attachment 2 - Project Description for Pop-up at Forbes Mill

Dear Monica,
We are interested in locating a pop-up restaurant in the garden area of the Forbes Mill property located at 75
Church St. As you are aware, we have a lease agreement in place with the Town for the management and
subleasing of the property. While we are continuing the formal marketing efforts for the building, in the interim,
we have been approached by Ross Hanson (proprietor of Oak & Rye on N Santa Cruz Ave) to locate his food trailer
in the rear garden area of the property on Saturdays during the summer and early fall. This would be a unique and
exciting addition to Los Gatos and an amenity for the public that uses the Los Gatos Creek Trail. It also gives us a
chance to see if food uses work well at the property, and if so we could market to those kinds of uses accordingly.
It would be operated as follows:
1. Hours – Saturdays from 6/19/2021-10/30/2021 from 9am-9pm.
2. Food trailer serving a variety of foods, primarily BBQ cuisine, as well as beer & wine.
3. Trailer would be towed in each morning and towed away each evening.
4. The Forbes Mill building would be unlocked at the rear door for restroom access for customers only.
5. Trailer will be powered from Forbes Mill building electrical service.
6. The cyclone fence will be removed, and the brush cleared to create an area for picnic tables.
7. The staff will be responsible for cleanup and hauling off of trash each night.
Thank you,
Jim Foley
