Summary

A resident reported repeated nighttime odor events from the Royal Butcher; the board encouraged neighbors to document date/time and notify staff so the town can build a record and press for mitigation steps.

Board members discussed a string of odor complaints from residents on Allen Drive about the nearby Royal Butcher. Speaker 2 said she had personally smelled the odor in the evening and had documented time and date for staff. "I texted John and just said, I'm here. This is the date. This is the time," she said, urging others to do the same to create a complaint record.

The board said it will encourage residents to send short notifications (time/date and brief description) to staff so the town can track incidents and follow up with the business owner, who the board said is already working on mitigation measures. No enforcement action was taken at the meeting; staff will collect reports and handle next steps.
