Town tightens vendor permits and license language for food trucks, beach vendors and water businesses
Summary
Board reviewed and renewed seasonal permits and license terms for Crescent Beach food truck(s), Mister Softy ice cream, kayak rentals, Venture Out and other beach businesses — adding noise and generator restrictions, site diagrams, police/highway review and daily trash/removal requirements.
The board discussed and moved to formalize seasonal permissions for food trucks and beach-based businesses through license agreements that specify site diagrams, hours and operational conditions.
For Crest Beach, the board agreed to require a license agreement (signed by applicant and town), police and highway department review of location, county health permits, liability insurance and a quiet generator limited by a decibel measure used last year. The board restated that licensees must remove trash daily and not use town receptacles.
The Mister Softy ice cream application lacked some required scheduling details; the board asked the operator to confirm start dates, locations and a noise provision that would limit musical chimes to short bursts while stopped. Kayak Shelter Island (Adam) described reservation-only, low-impact operations; board members praised its neighborhood-friendly approach and reiterated prior conditions (equipment removal, designated parking areas). Venture Out and other long-standing operators confirmed site diagrams and agreed to perimeter marking and daily cleanup measures.
Board members said the town will move from generic resolutions to clearer license agreements that lay out enforcement and noise limits and will coordinate with Police and Highway for location reviews.
