[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.
