Advisory committee considers low-cost 'early activation' pilot at Great Island stables courtyard
Summary
Committee members discussed a Bruce Ferguson proposal to place tables, chairs and umbrellas in the stables courtyard as a town‑sponsored low‑impact pilot; Planning & Zoning would require a special‑use permit (approx. 7–11 weeks), and the committee asked for cost estimates and interest gauging.
Jeff Taebel presented a proposal from Bruce Ferguson to pilot a low‑cost, town‑sponsored 'early activation' at the stables courtyard by adding tables, chairs and umbrellas to create visitor seating.
Taebel said Planning & Zoning indicated the installation would require a special‑use permit, with an approval period estimated at 7 to 11 weeks. He noted questions remain about who would be responsible for cleaning, inspection and trash pickup; Ms. McNally asked Taebel to determine the project cost and gauge general interest. Several committee members expressed support for piloting the idea on a smaller scale.
Taebel also said he met with Reed Hilderbrand to discuss gathering information for outside‑entity events and that the consultants would provide recommendations informed by survey responses.
