Board to notify SLA that applicant currently lacks a restaurant permit at former bowling‑alley site
Summary
The board agreed to inform the State Liquor Authority that Rolling Fields LLC's application lists restaurant service but the property currently holds a permit for indoor recreation, not a restaurant; the board said it would cc the applicant and ask planning/building liaisons to confirm zoning/permit status before the SLA comment deadline.
The board reviewed a State Liquor Authority application submitted by Rolling Fields LLC for the former bowling‑alley property in town. Chair and board members noted the application lists restaurant service, but local records show the site currently holds permits for indoor recreation rather than a restaurant or special‑use restaurant permit required in R‑3 zoning.
Members agreed the board would not object outright but should respond to SLA with a factual memo stating that "at the present time, the establishment does not have a permit to operate a restaurant" and noting that the planning and building departments have pending matters (signage, ramps) before the planning board. Staff agreed to contact the applicant, inform them of the intended response, and confirm building and zoning statuses prior to submitting the SLA comment (the board’s 30‑day response window applies).
