Selectboard approves letter to Liquor Commission affirming Frosty Brewery's outdoor seating
Summary
The Brookfield selectboard voted to sign and send a letter to the state Liquor Commission confirming that Frosty Brewery's outdoor seating was part of its 2021 approved use and that the town has no objection to the current outdoor seating configuration; the board voted to sign the letter and will provide an electronic copy to the applicant.
The Brookfield Town selectboard voted to approve and sign a letter to the state Liquor Commission affirming that the brewery's outdoor seating area was part of an approved 2021 home-occupation use and that the town has no objection to the continued outdoor seating in its present location and scale.
Town staff explained the Liquor Commission reviewed the brewery's 2021 application and requested an updated town letter and current attachments; the commission asked for a present-day selectboard signature rather than relying on a four-year-old document. The proposed letter cites the town's zoning ordinance and references the statutory citation given in the draft: "RSA 674:19" as the basis for the town's land-use position.
A selectboard member moved to approve the letter, another member seconded, and the board voted unanimously to sign it. Staff agreed to provide an electronic copy to the applicants and to send the supporting materials to the Liquor Commission.
The board noted that because the brewery's use was legally established in 2021 and there has been no change of use, the town's 2021 determination remains valid. The approval was procedural: it confirms the board will send the requested documentation to the Liquor Commission so the brewery's liquor license file includes the updated town authorization.
