Burrillville council approves three local licenses, conditions entertainment permit on capacity and safety stipulations
Summary
At its June 25 meeting the Burrillville Town Council approved renewal of a private detective license, granted a hawkers and peddlers permit, and approved an annual entertainment license for Cow's Veil Deli and Creamery with fire and police stipulations and a capacity limit.
At its June 25 meeting the Burrillville Town Council approved several local licenses and set conditions on an entertainment permit for a downtown deli.
The council voted to renew a private detective license for Gerald L. Alapierre provided all stipulations are met. The council also approved a townwide hawkers and peddlers license for Sean Palmer, doing business as Trinity Soul LLC. Town officials recorded the hawkers and peddlers item as passed with a final roll-call outcome reported verbally as 7-0.
Octennial Mendez, the applicant for an annual entertainment license for OM Coding LLC doing business as Cow's Veil Deli and Creamery at 16 High Street, told the council the plan is to offer music about once or twice a month. Council members and staff noted that the fire marshal and the police department submitted conditions tied to the restaurant's maximum capacity. One council member emphasized the applicant must remain under the allowed capacity, including standing room, and that exceeding it would not be permitted.
Motion records show the entertainment license was approved “as long as all stipulations have been met.” The motion to approve the entertainment license was made by Mr. Babalon and seconded by Mr. Houle. The renewal of the private detective license was approved provided stipulations were satisfied; the motion was made by Mr. Badilon and seconded by the vice president. The hawkers and peddlers license was approved (final verbal tally recorded as 7-0).
Council discussion also clarified that use of Gonye Park for events typically requires a special-event permit and nonprofit sponsorship; organizers without nonprofit status would need a sponsoring 501(c)(3) or similar arrangement to use the park under the town's rules.
The approvals are recorded on the meeting's consent and special-business agenda items. The council did not attach additional licensing fees or require a fire marshal to staff the individual events, noting that staffing a marshal for each small event would be cost prohibitive for a small business but that capacity and other safety stipulations must be followed.
