September 13, 2017
BETHLEHEM TOWN HALL MEETING ROOM
Minutes
6:00 pm
Present: Mike Bruno, Marie Stevenson, Johnathan Stevenson, David Rodrigues, Neil Brody and Linda Moore
Absent: Dave Wiley
Mike Bruno opened the meeting at 6:02pm. He then read the Agenda. He asked if Don Lavoie would like to sit on the board. Don said he was there to represent Ian Dowling and Marlana and didn’t feel it appropriate.
REKLIS ADVENTURES, LLC was asked to present their conceptual plan for 2085 Main Street. Don Lavoie would like to have Site Plan Review waived, due to non change of use. He also added his explanation to waive SPR. Other establishments had their SPR waived due to non change of use and this should be no different. Mike asked if the applicant was here for a waiver, since he has not heard from them. Marlana said they would not know about being able to waive SPR if not for Don Lavoie. She explained that they plan on having a brew house, pub and food at the establishment. A deck will be added to the front and side of the building. The upstairs will only be used for functions. The down stairs and patio will be for beer and food. Pub food will be served from the kitchen and food trucks will be parked out back. There will be a separate area set aside for dogs and their owners. They plan on a fire pit and live music. Mike Bruno explained the 10:00pm noise ordinance. Parking will be allowed in the Balance parking lot as well as REKLIS, per deed information. Mike asked when are you planning on opening. We are shooting for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Thursday – Friday Depending on how long the beer will last. Chris McGrath spoke up in support of the project and to waive SPR.
Mike Bruno motioned to waive SPR for REKLIS upon them providing a sketch of the project to the planning office and deed information on parking.” “This does not include a waiver for any additional improvements needing Planning Board or Building Inspector approval” Linda Moore seconded 6-0 motion passes
RekLis conceptual is complete.
