If approved, the proposed amendment would allow for the charging and prosecution of those persons found intoxicated in public in the Town from other intoxicants, in addition to alcohol, and consistent with state law.
to consider: approval of a Resolution to authorize the commencement of eminent domain (condemnation) proceedings of 1,710 sq. ft of the property of Stephen C.

If approved the proposed changes would allow flea markets to operate on Fridays with a Special Use Permit, subject to certain standards and review and potentially to have a farmer’s market; and, proposed amendment to § 98-46.B to change the license tax for flea markets from a per vendor tax of $10 per year, or $1 dollar per day, to a flat license tax of $250.00 per calendar year to be paid by the proprietor of the flea market.
