The most notable decision was the board’s approval of a one-day permit for the CYO Road Society’s annual St. Patrick’s Day event. The board chair acknowledged receiving a call from the event organizer, who was unable to attend the meeting due to a family emergency. Despite typically requiring in-person representation, the board made an exception, emphasizing that this decision should not set a precedent. The event has a history of compliance with regulations, and the board was satisfied that it would continue to do so.

The board also granted a new beer and wine license with cordials for Troya Cafe LLC, a family-style restaurant located on New Boston Road. The establishment plans to offer a casual dining experience with an emphasis on cheese plates and charcuterie boards, operating Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with different hours on Mondays and Tuesdays. The seating capacity is set at 18, with two employees, and the applicant, with significant experience in the hospitality industry, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture.

In other matters, the board approved a one-time extension of operating hours for the Liberal Club on Super Bowl Sunday. The club plans to host a buffet and ensure a safe environment for its members. Additionally, a common victualler’s license was renewed for El Sabor de Mi Tierra, with no changes to its operation. Alice’s Diner also received approval for a common victualler’s license, following a change in ownership but with no alterations to its services or hours.
