MINUTES March 5, 1994 5 BOARD OF HEALTH I I Mr. Evans stated, "One of my thoughts was to have a "Farmer's Market" where once or twice a week vendor's could set up their stands and sell their produce. " "Part of our restrictions have been the availability of restrooms which out in the parking lot there have been none. " "The restau- rant facilities are for the restaurant." Mr. Ball questioned Mr. Evans as to how the produce stand at the "Picnic Box" is handled. Mr. Evans responded, "It is supposed to be operated by the owner of the restaurant. " Mr. Ball relayed, "They lease land." "This is about the same situation. " Mr. McQuaid relayed, "There is a difference between the Picnic Box setting up a produce stand and Dick & Ellie's set- ting up a produce stand." "I am totally in favor of Mr. Evans recommendation that we keep the Flea Market free of food whatsoever, other then what is issued through the res- taurant and instead encourage Mr. Wiseman, if he want to in- crease his business, to set up a one day a week Farmer's Mar- ket." "We could inspect there once a week to ensure food requirements are being met however, we cannot go there five days a week. " Mr. Doherty commented, "Every time we deal with a temporary/transient type of operation it is looked at much harder than a permanent setup. " Ms. Feren commented, "The Restaurant will be open seven days a week and Mr. Wiseman would like the stand open during the same time. " Mr. Ball stated, "I cannot see the difference between the Picnic Box and the Flea Market, it is the same thing. " "They have permission to use the sanitary facilities. " Mr. Feren stated, "Mr. Wiseman will supply water and electricity. " Mr. Doherty stated, "I would like to forward a letter to " the Board of Appeals questioning them whether they would con- sider a seven day per week operation of a produce stand in violation of the special permit. " "Provided that it does not violate the provisions of the special permit this Board would consider issuing a license. " Mr. McQuaid recommended Mr. Feren schedule a meeting with the Board of Appeals to amend the special Permit. "This Board will forward a memo stating no objection. "
