Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> June 3, 2019 <br /> APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br /> Public Hearing—Request for Modification of Entertainment License: Naukabout Beer Company LLC: Peter <br /> Murner: <br /> Acting as the Licensing Authority for the Town of Mashpee, the Board of Selectmen opened the Public <br /> Hearing to consider the possible modification to the entertainment license of Naukabout Beer Company LLC <br /> d/b/a Naukabout Beer Company, LLC. To conform to posting procedures, the Public Hearing notice was read <br /> aloud into the record. <br /> Peter Murner co-owner and general manager of Naukabout Beer Company LLC 13 Lake Avenue, Mashpee <br /> was in attendance to discuss the possibility of modifying the current entertainment license to allow the <br /> brewery to host live, amplified music on their outdoor patio. <br /> Mr. Murner indicated that live music has always been his goal. After being in operation for one year with a <br /> good handle on the business this type of offering would ensure continued success and allow the brewery to <br /> attract new visitors and remain competitive. <br /> Outdoor music without amplification is currently permissible in the Town of Mashpee. The permit also <br /> allows for pipe music and basic radio. Licenses approved by the Board of Selectmen for entertainment <br /> prohibit outdoor amplification. Since the Selectmen's determination to cease outdoor amplification, there <br /> have been no issues. This includes the absence of late night noise disturbances. There is concern as the <br /> Naukabout Beer Company is situated adjacent to a pond, and sound tends to travel over water. <br /> It was agreed it is difficult to be selective in terms of entertainment licenses. It is also difficult to gauge and <br /> control amplification outdoors. Mr. Murner indicated he would conform to perimeters, and would agree to <br /> have no amplified music outdoors in the evening. The brewery generally closes at 9:00 p.m. During the <br /> summer the establishment may close at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. Most of the business is conducted during daytime <br /> hours. <br /> Outdoor music with amplification would mainly consist of one guitar player with two to three guitar players <br /> maximum. <br /> Town Manager Rodney C. Collins indicated the proprietor of the Naukabout Brewery has been very <br /> responsible to the Board of Selectmen and to the Town of Mashpee. With the Selectmen's approval Town <br /> Manager Collins agreed to work with Town Counsel to develop restricted language regarding terms and <br /> conditions, and return to the Board with a recommendation. <br /> The 2019 Entertainment License of Naukabout Beer Company is stipulated as follows; Amplification <br /> permitted indoors only. Outdoor entertainment restricted to acoustic music with no live amplified music and <br /> no disc jockeys. Outdoor patio closes at 10:00 p.m. <br /> 4 <br />
