Equestrian Quarrels In Wellington With Village Denials and Approvals!

The Village of Wellington  turned down Mark Bellissimo's request for a parking rule change. This rule needed to be changed in order for the Tavern On The Green, Wellington to be re-opened since it was closed earlier this summer because of parking issues with the Village Of  Wellington.

 Jenny LeRoy (Oz) of the famed New York Eatery, Tavern On The Green opened up the Wellington’s Tavern On The Green in the Equestrian Club in Wellington Florida. Jenny is an avid rider and comes here during the Equestrian seasons.

She went into partnership with Mark Bellissimo who may or may not have disclosed the extent of the parking problem. Even from the beginning of the Tavern opening they had problems with the Village of Wellington.

Well,it seems as though Bellissimo He and has been in hot water  since moving to Wellington Florida.Glenn Straub of the Polo Club have been in lawsuits against each other over the parking, the land and other things.  Maybe he did not tell his partners about this because why would any business person go through all the expense of opening a restaurant with a 'maybe' that you would get to stay open? I just don't get this.

My daughter and 2 of my sons worked there and loved it. Great people and good food. But the village closed the Tavern down and there went their jobs, just like that!

Then Jean Mische who also has his share of problems and litigation with Glenn Straub and Mark Bellissimo is moving his Stadium Jumping off the property where the Equestrian Club is and is moving to Section 34, a 640 acre tract west of 50th Street  where the new Wellington Preserve Community will be built. The showgrounds will use 179 acres of the property. This is in another location from where the club is and with this move there really is no chance for The Tavern to be able to continue in its present location. 

So while Jean Mische is getting his new Equestrian Stadium Jumping move approvyed by the Village of Wellington, Mark Bellissimo's parking request is getting denied. Mische has been accused of not honoring a prior agreement with Bellissimo that would have created a huge equestrian community around the current Stadium Jumping facility is which is also where the Tavern On The Green was. 

I will keep you posted as to what is going on with The Tavern On The Green Restaurant in Wellington Florida?
