Select Board approves business licenses, adds conditions to Export Auto operations

The Select Board approved multiple license matters and a license-condition amendment Wednesday.

Licenses: the board approved the roster of 2025 licenses as presented (alcohol, common victualer, amusements, motor vehicle dealer classes and others) in a single vote. The full list of licensees was included in the meeting packet.

Retail marijuana: the board approved a retail marijuana license for Commonwealth Cannabis Company, Inc., doing business as Comcan; the motion passed unanimously with the member who had a conflict recused from that vote.

Primavera restaurant: the board approved all-alcohol common victualler and entertainment licenses for Primavera Incorporated, DBA Primavera Restaurant, pending receipt of a sprinkler report and reinspection within 30 days documenting completion of minor repairs noted during the initial inspection.

Export Auto (83 and 91 Union St.): the owner of Export Auto requested an increase in permitted outside vehicle storage at 91 Union Street. After discussion with the owner and a neighboring resident who raised concerns about late-night deliveries and truck parking, the board amended Export Auto's class 2 license conditions to increase allowed outside storage at 91 Union Street from 20 cars to 35 cars and to permit deliveries and pickups only between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., seven days a week. The motion passed unanimously; board members and the neighbor said the hours provide a workable compromise.

All licensing motions on the agenda were moved, seconded, and approved as recorded on the public record.
