A St. Johns County-based maker of vanilla-spiced rum has plans in review to develop a two-story restaurant, bakery, distillery and greenhouses on 6 acres in Saint Johns. 

MAI Engineering Services submitted project plans to the county last month. The firm met with the St. Johns County Development Review Committee last week to discuss them. Project co-owners Shane Shetler and Travis James also attended. The brothers own and operate Madi Rum.
