Eliot board approves conditional event-center license for Land-O-Green Farms
Summary
The Eliot Select Board approved a conditional event-center license for Land-O-Green Farms with a 250-person cap and a stepped approach limiting events to 15 this year; the fee was prorated to $250 and police will respond to noise complaints.
The Eliot Select Board on May 14 approved a conditional event-center license for Land-O-Green Farms after considering neighborhood concerns about noise and frequency of events. Applicant Evan Levitt presented a proposal for a wedding and events venue that originally proposed up to 250 attendees and 30 events annually. The board agreed to a stepped approach and limited the venue to 15 events for the current year; the license fee was prorated to $250 to reflect the reduced event count.
The board’s approval included a directive that the Police Department respond to any noise complaints during events to enforce permit conditions. Members framed the action as balancing local business opportunity with neighborhood quality-of-life concerns. Chair William Widi noted the board would be monitoring compliance under the conditional license.
The approval is recorded in the meeting minutes as a conditional license with the stated conditions; the minutes do not show a detailed roll-call vote for this specific motion. The board’s enforcement plan and any future adjustments to allowed event counts will be revisited if complaints or compliance issues arise.
