Tabled from October 9 Meeting [28 North Bar and Grill
o Traffic Study from GTS Consulting has been received
o County 239 decision received: ‘No recommendation”
o Updated information on proposed items was reviewed and discussed:
o Lighting: Will be downward-facing
o Parking: One row was added to the original plan
o Dumpster: As previously requested, a plan for an electrical barrier has been added to the plans.
o Septic placement was reviewed, but noted this will ultimately be a conversation with Codes.
o Considerations for screening on the northern boundary were reviewed and discussed. A combination of fencing and mature vegetation was offered.

Although this was not a Public Hearing, interested parties present questioned the plans, and voiced their concerns, ranging from septic placement (a future Codes issue), bright lighting, perceived loss of solitude, noise, and traffic, to the possibility of disreputable clientele.
