A significant portion of the meeting focused on the potential implications of the food truck court, which includes plans for beer and wine service and amplified music. A resident argued that the proposal went against the town’s carefully curated regulations, emphasizing the lack of guarantees from the applicant on issues such as restrictions on live music and operating hours.

Another resident, who lives near the proposed location, expressed concerns about the impact of increased traffic on neighborhood streets, which are not designed to handle commercial activity. The potential for illegal parking and congestion was highlighted, with fears that emergency services could be obstructed. The resident pointed out that existing businesses in the area have restrictions to mitigate their impact on the neighborhood, and questioned why the new proposal should be any different.

Additionally, the issue of noise pollution was raised by another local, who provided data on sound levels from similar establishments. The resident argued that live music from the proposed site would exceed acceptable noise levels and could lead to frequent complaints, placing a burden on law enforcement.
