Council renews two liquor licenses and increases town license cap to correct previous error
Summary
The council approved renewals for Frank and John's Pizza and Water Street Kitchen & Bar and passed a third‑reading ordinance raising the town’s Class BBL limited liquor license cap from 4 to 6 to correct a scrivener’s error.
The Town Council approved two annual liquor license renewals and enacted an ordinance to correct the town’s liquor license cap.
At a public hearing the council granted annual renewal and ancillary licenses for Frank and John’s Pizza (186 Main Street) and Water Street Kitchen & Bar (28 Wall Street) for the period 12/01/2024 through 11/30/2025. Both applicants’ renewals were uncontested and the clerk reported Frank and John’s application was fully complete.
The council then took the third reading on an ordinance amending Chapter 15 (Alcoholic Beverages), Section 15‑10 (cap on total liquor licenses) to increase the cap for Class BBL limited licenses from 4 to 6. The staff explanation said the amendment corrects a scrivener’s error and accounts for two licenses issued after the cap change in January 2023.
Council action - Motion to approve the two license renewals (Frank and John’s Pizza; Water Street Kitchen & Bar) with ancillary licenses for the 12/01/2024–11/30/2025 period. Vote: 4‑0. - Motion to approve the ordinance (third reading) amending the town code to increase the Class BBL limited license cap from 4 to 6. Vote: 4‑0. The ordinance, if enacted as passed, was effective immediately.
Ending: Council members closed the public hearing after no public comments and enacted the ordinance to align the municipal code with issued licenses.
