To conform to posting procedures, the Public Hearing notice was read aloud into the record. Peter Murner co-owner and general manager of Naukabout Beer Company LLC 13 Lake Avenue, Mashpee was in attendance to discuss the possibility of modifying the current entertainment license to allow the brewery to host live, amplified music on their outdoor patio. Mr. Murner indicated that live music has always been his goal. After being in operation for one year with a good handle on the business this type of offering would ensure continued success and allow the brewery to attract new visitors and remain competitive. Outdoor music without amplification is currently permissible in the Town of Mashpee. The permit also allows for pipe music and basic radio. Licenses approved by the Board of Selectmen for entertainment prohibit outdoor amplification. Since the Selectmen's determination to cease outdoor amplification, there have been no issues. This includes the absence of late night noise disturbances. There is concern as the Naukabout Beer Company is situated adjacent to a pond, and sound tends to travel over water. It was agreed it is difficult to be selective in terms of entertainment licenses. It is also difficult to gauge and control amplification outdoors. Mr. Murner indicated he would conform to perimeters, and would agree to have no amplified music outdoors in the evening. The brewery generally closes at 9:00 p.m. During the summer the establishment may close at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. Most of the business is conducted during daytime hours, Outdoor music with amplification would mainly consist of one guitar player with two to three guitar players maximum. Town Manager Rodney C. Collins indicated the proprietor of the Naukabout Brewery has been very responsible to the Board of Selectmen and to the Town of Mashpee.
