Chairman Bussiere opened the Public Hearing for a Special Exception for Michelle Palys, owner of the Tarry Ho Campground. The purpose of the Special Exception is to open an ice cream stand. Michelle said she is converting the first cabin into an ice cream stand. She handed in to the board maps depicting the cabin and parking. She said the ice cream business would be in an existing building and would be open to the campground as well as the public. She said Stan Borkowski, Code Enforcer/Building Inspector, told her she needed the Special Exception because of the change within the campground and the Special Exception was for their safety and the public’s.
Chairman Bussiere said a drive-in was an allowed use under the Special Exception, which is what Stan was talking about. A drive-in was established as a business you drive in to, get what you came for and drive out. At times there are picnic tables in place outside but no seating inside. The Chair said that Michelle had shown the setbacks on one of the maps and they were fine.
Michelle was asked about:

Michelle said the sign is already lit and she will keep it the way it is.

Michelle told the board she knows she has to get approval from the state for the extra traffic and parking offered but they would not talk to her until she got the approval for the Special Exception from the town,
Paul Bussiere asked if any of the board members had any questions or issues. There were none. He then asked the public if they had any questions. Joan Karpf said her only concern was the parking. Michelle gave her a copy of the map that showed the parking and any overflow.
