[0:47]
There you go.
[0:50]
Charge House Restaurant, owner Kelly Pasterick-Fairer, applicant for renewal of the liquor license.
[0:56]
Restaurant Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 from Matt U12 Block 14, located at 388 Potion Point Road and Booth Bed.
[1:04]
Damn.
[1:05]
So this is a straight renewal.
[1:10]
Kelly's had this for up to go on my day, he has no outstanding news violations and his taxes are paid.
[1:20]
Motion to approve.
[1:21]
Second.
[1:22]
Motion is made and seconded to approve the Renewable Political
[1:25]
License Restaurant Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 for Carriage House
[1:28]
Restaurant.
[1:29]
Any comments or questions?
[1:31]
I guess we should be able to put his manual in here.
[1:33]
I know.
[1:35]
I know.
[1:37]
I think you're finding this required by the application now.
[1:42]
Any other comments?
[1:44]
So you've got all those in favor?
[1:47]
Motion passes.
[1:47]
And we'll just look forward to it.
[1:50]
Chaps is the original.
[1:53]
Just a little bit more here.
[1:54]
If there's no place to sign on this paper and say,
[1:57]
do you want it on that paper?
[2:01]
Chaps, I think, have it.
[2:03]
If not, could you put five lines?
[2:08]
Or four lines?
[2:09]
Yeah.
[2:15]
No, there.
[2:17]
There you go, there you go.
[2:25]
That brings us to our first public comment.
[2:31]
Also going to be our second public comment.
[2:33]
Perfect.
[2:36]
So one of the things that came up today was that the planning board put a lot of work into
[2:44]
an interview and they're hoping to get something in to November.
[2:49]
So what we looked at, all of a sudden it's the backward sign line that any had created
[2:54]
a couple of months ago, a couple of months ago, something like that.
[3:00]
We identified today the ninth is the last opportunity for the planning board to get that end
[3:07]
to have that on time for this priority when it has to go, when everything has to go to the state.
[3:14]
So, of course, you didn't have the warrant to put together for you to look at, and I think
[3:21]
it was probably a case of each, everybody already told me that somebody else was doing something.
[3:30]
And so, I looked at that and I thought, well, what could we do?
[3:33]
I thought, well, maybe we could possibly have you vote tonight to look at and
[3:43]
to see that idea of this tonight.
[3:48]
Or we don't adjourn tonight.
[3:51]
And then we could really convene potentially
[3:53]
on Friday, but it makes it tougher for you guys.
[4:01]
Or there's a possibility that we could go
[4:05]
to a special panel meeting, which is an option
[4:07]
that I know you have been low to do so in the past
[4:11]
unless it is an emergency.
[4:20]
I mean, I just want to put it out there for discussion, will you be able to talk to our
[4:27]
ferry?
[4:28]
No.
[4:29]
Bruce, what would the difference be between holding it in November and holding it in May?
[4:36]
One potential issue I see with way until May is that May is under a moment of the modifications to the
[4:44]
complaint of our vote.
[4:48]
If that passes, it will need to be contemporary with that.
[4:55]
Some other changes to the proposed zoning ordinance because there are some things in there
[5:05]
would be affected by the changing to the common land.
[5:12]
And so there would be, like, four questions on the march,
[5:16]
are going to be valid.
[5:18]
You agree to this.
[5:21]
If you don't agree to this, you agree to this.
[5:24]
It gets confusing.
[5:26]
It gets confusing.
[5:27]
Very, very common and rooted.
[5:29]
Very common.
[5:30]
The problem we have with the special town meeting, if something ever comes from commercial
[5:38]
come out of it.
[5:39]
You can always say we did it under the cover of Doc, this is the only head of the hand
[5:43]
board.
[5:44]
That's why we've tried it.
[5:45]
I don't understand that.
[5:47]
Absolutely.
[5:48]
Not in the cost of it.
[5:48]
They always say you're trying to hide something if you're doing a special meeting.
[5:52]
Well, but all we're looking for is wording for the morning, correct?
[5:55]
Right.
[5:56]
And it really, if Dan will correct me if I run,
[5:59]
my understanding was that Friday is the deadline
[6:01]
at word 8 to go to the printer,
[6:03]
but today was the last scheduled flight
[6:05]
that's being, you have to approve it.
[6:07]
Which is why I was saying, if potentially you wanted
[6:10]
to try to make this work somehow,
[6:13]
exactly what are we voting on in November?
[6:17]
We're voting on all of the work
[6:19]
that the planning board has done
[6:20]
to the last two years.
[6:22]
Are you talking, you're talking a complete rewrite
[6:24]
But no, it's not, it's a complete reorder, a reorder.
[6:29]
There are some changes, some related to 2003 and 1829.
[6:36]
Like the different zones that you showed this last meeting.
[6:38]
That's where that confusion comes in with the,
[6:42]
that's going to be up every way that's only you should do this.
[6:48]
Problem is, you have to sit here and,
[6:52]
we wouldn't be doing a job if we didn't need to see him.
[6:55]
That's the problem.
[6:56]
I mean, I have a high time voting to approve something that we haven't seen.
[7:00]
That's the...
[7:01]
No, we're not voting on the actual pre-ordering vote.
[7:06]
You're voting on the wording on the word, right?
[7:08]
Yeah, we're going to put together some wording for the want, which God knows I'm not a lawyer.
[7:15]
A layman would say, you should be very simple to do, but lawyers tend to tackle things up.
[7:21]
No offense, Kristen.
[7:26]
If we have to wait, we have to wait.
[7:29]
I'm just trying to think of some of the numbers.
[7:31]
So could we not end the meeting tonight?
[7:38]
If we can have something e-mailed to us, could we take a paper?
[7:42]
Let's all listen to one thing.
[7:43]
Which just said, we have to decide on it tonight because I have to go to the printer.
[7:47]
Let's be doing a adjourn.
[7:48]
Well, you know what I mean, you know, that's what I'm saying, don't want to do it in the next day
[7:53]
So it can get us something and he can get the reverse guidelines to that. Yeah
[8:06]
Right. Yes, and if we get by email and read with an email, when's the last time we
[8:15]
the revised ordinance, 24.
[8:19]
Yeah, go grab that time report.
[8:22]
I can tell you how it would be exactly what the wording is.
[8:26]
OK.
[8:26]
I've got it for the recording.
[8:28]
OK.
[8:29]
I mean, seems to me if we can come close to what we think the wording is going to be your
[8:35]
various, you know, we should be able to vote.
[8:38]
And if we can come close to it tonight, have legal approval tomorrow.
[8:44]
What was written in the
[8:48]
2024, Article 32, shall ordinance entitled,
[8:51]
quote, 2024, amendments to the zoning ordinance out of the bank,
[8:55]
unquote, be enacted.
[8:57]
What's that sound?
[8:59]
Yeah.
[8:59]
The proposed ordinance is available for you,
[9:01]
and it's back in white campus.
[9:03]
Change that by the way.
[9:05]
2026.
[9:07]
It's been changed.
[9:08]
It's one of the word, 2026.
[9:09]
Yeah, you're all set.
[9:10]
And I'm sure a lawyer probably salary at this point
[9:14]
approved those words.
[9:15]
Right.
[9:16]
There's a different law firm.
[9:18]
And it's a different law firm, but it's the same law.
[9:21]
Right.
[9:22]
I would agree.
[9:23]
I'm fine with that.
[9:25]
Let's see what Dan's got for word in.
[9:27]
I said that he is right now.
[9:30]
I know that.
[9:30]
I said that at the beginning when people were the meeting started
[9:33]
they said I have to say it works.
[9:35]
Oh, so.
[9:42]
Are you thankful?
[9:43]
You did, right? No, it was the DNA right now.
[9:45]
No, it was the DNA right now.
[9:52]
You're too late.
[9:53]
It's still loose.
[9:56]
You can have a hard copy.
[9:58]
A hard copy.
[9:59]
Chuck's going to want it for his records.
[10:01]
It'll be a different article number.
[10:03]
A different article number and a different data.
[10:06]
So what I want to add will make the motion rule
[10:09]
through as long as it's similar written as Idle 32, 2024, but what the article number we
[10:18]
did, article number one, I call one is to what, but that will be, we'll have that on
[10:26]
the separate, so it'll be the same thing off the same, but I think this will be a standalone
[10:32]
because it's a town, it's not a state issue, right, so we'll, yeah, probably still have that
[10:39]
or a moder book. Yeah, but she's a moder here. Recognize a moder here.
[10:46]
Okay, so let's say you make it
[10:50]
article two, show an ordinance titled, 2026 amendments.
[10:57]
Well, something very simple, because
[10:59]
they may change the word, as long as it doesn't change the meaning, I'm okay with that.
[11:03]
If you're...
[11:06]
Second.
[11:07]
Oh.
[11:08]
But not efficient, we are.
[11:10]
Oh, it's...
[11:11]
This doesn't happen in every town.
[11:13]
Yeah.
[11:14]
Woo!
[11:16]
Some things are fairly simple.
[11:18]
Yeah, yeah.
[11:19]
What?
[11:19]
After Bruce Reverendwood.
[11:21]
You're going to be kidding me.
[11:23]
I think you can pull this off.
[11:26]
So we have a motion in a second on the floor
[11:29]
to have the wording be Article 2, shall an ordinance entitled 2026 amendments to the zoning ordinance of the Town of Booth Bay be enacted.
[11:39]
The proposed ordinance is available for review and inspection at the Town Clerk's office and will be available at the town meeting.
[11:47]
We'll have it at the town meeting. We'll also have the changes.
[11:50]
The changes are going to be, it's about 600 pages, but they're a red line, so it's easily
[11:58]
identified what's going to change.
[12:01]
And as long as Kristen doesn't have a major problem with this, it's probably the problem.
[12:06]
And Kristen was on the set of the work and the Bruce on this.
[12:09]
If there's a word or two different, it's not going to make a deal.
[12:12]
It's not going to change your head.
[12:13]
Well, that's not fair, shall.
[12:15]
Right, yeah.
[12:16]
Yeah.
[12:17]
Oh, this is shall.
[12:19]
Well, let's make sure it's supposed to be shall and not may.
[12:24]
Now, may I speak to the lady?
[12:27]
Any other comments or questions?
[12:29]
Paul's in favor.
[12:31]
Motion passes.
[12:34]
So we have no minister approved this evening.
[12:37]
I'm assuming Dan has no reports for us.
[12:39]
No, things have been nice and quiet.
[12:41]
I'm most in front.
[12:42]
Beautiful.
[12:42]
No business.
[12:44]
No new business.
[12:45]
any other public comment? No. I'll entertain a motion to review the warrants
[12:50]
aside in the following review. Second. All those in favor? Yeah, I'll entertain a motion to a
[12:55]
adjourn. Second. All those in favor? We are adjourned.
[12:59]
So it's 13. Quite a rest. Slow. Yeah, why not? Yeah, I think I was drunk. Let's hear
[13:06]
if we haven't made a meeting last. It's 13 minutes, but even something to discuss. We didn't even know we were going to discuss.
[13:12]
I don't know what the hell it is.
