He currently has a beer/wine license from the State and noted that the expansion would include the beer/wine and eventually he will pursue a full liquor license with the State.
The Board also discussed parking, septic/well locations. He showed the Board a sketch of the property noting the locations of the well and septic system. The Board also noted that the septic system may need to be expanded. Mr. Colby and the Board also noted there will be a review the Building Code to see if sprinklers would be required.
