City leaders say the restaurant was too close to other bars in the popular nightspot area of Main Street. So, Carlson said he'd move the restaurant into another building about a quarter-mile south. Carlson still plans on building the four-story facility, with offices on the second floor and condominiums on the top two floors.
The restaurant would move into a closed golf store, where another restaurant plan had fallen through a few years before. The city will hear the new plan Thursday. The new building will also feature a café and office space, according to the new plans.
The city's Downtown, known as one of the state's most popular dining and nightlife areas, had a years-long total ban of new liquor licenses lifted early this year. However, commissioners have stated they do not want to grant a new license.
Carlson's new restaurant location would go up across the street from the $50-million, three phase Main Place development, which earned the last liquor license granted by the city.
