Board approves liquor licenses; hears MERP site concerns and FEMA floodplain note
Summary
The board approved liquor licenses for the Bakersfield Country Club and 'Vermont Swiss and Bloom.' Members received a MERP site review that flagged inaccurate assessor data and historic-registry constraints, and the board noted recent FEMA flood-plain mapping updates.
The board approved a liquor license for the Bakersfield Country Club and a catering license for Vermont Swiss and Bloom; Chair said staff will complete online filings as required. Committee member (S3) also delivered a Municipal Energy Resilience Program (MERP) update: MERP staff inspected town hall and library, found some inaccurate site information (an example noted: an erroneous $6,700 propane line item), photographed conditions, and warned that historical-registry rules could constrain options like replacing attic windows or doors.
Separately, the board noted a recent FEMA webinar and a change in a survey that showed one parcel previously marked as floodplain no longer appearing as such; members commented that residents concerned about flood-plain designation should review the summary materials and, where appropriate, register comments through the FEMA process.
