DRAFT of Health that is off site. So, I can also bring food prepped items onto site. I have been doing this for the last two years. I do chicken barbeques and things like that up there. But that is through my commissary kitchen and my catering company. The only thing that would change is basically a refrigerator that I already have, a stainless- steel table and a microwave. This is my food prep area. This is based on New York State Liquor Authority guidelines for a non-greaseable item. It would be soups, salads and already prepared sandwiches. So, nothing else changes with food prep-wise. There is no kitchen. Chairman Ms. Rood: So, non-greaseable what does that mean? Mr. Gallagher: Non-greaseable means everything is prep made. It is not something that goes down into my septic system. So, I do not have a grease interceptor or grease trap. The grease interceptor was not advised to me when I built the building. Unfortunately. Chairman Ms. Rood: So, what happens when you wash dishes? Like, are there greasy soups and salads? Mr. Gallagher: There are no dishes that have greaseable items. So, all the dishes are disposable. Per the guidelines. We use plastic forks, throwaway plates, whatever you serve the food must be a disposable item, not a washable item. I do not serve hot dogs or hamburgers that would create grease that I would need to wash that product that it was cooked in and put tat grease down into my septic system. All my products are water-based. Chairman Ms. Rood: Everything goes to the landfill. Mr. Gallagher: Everything goes into the dumpster. Yes, Mam. We use biodegradable products as much as everybody else can do. We don’t produce a lot of waste there. We do everything we can do. I have a very small dumpster there that is probably half full at best. Ms. Pryor: I think more conversation must be had with the Code Enforcement Office, Mr. Reed. I am at a loss. Chairman Ms. Rood: I agree. Mr. Gallagher: It is a unique situation. I don’t know if the Town of Boston has never dealt with somebody that has a liquor license in a different area that is not commercial. Chairman Ms. Rood: Right. Mr. Gallagher: So, all rules and laws here in the Town of Boston regulate liquor licenses and business and commercial entities to a C-1 or C-2. Ms. Pryor: But you are agriculture. Mr. Gallagher: But I am agricultural and have this and not you know. I am expanding on it and I feel like we could all grow together here. Make something and these rules or lwaws in place should be addressed. Because the times are changing and other towns are allowing these activities to happen and the Town of Boston currently is not, and this is unfortunate. Because we have a beautiful area. I have a beautiful spot and view. It would be nice to share it more. I am being handcuffed a little bit. Chairman Ms. Rood: Well, I would say. We will leave the public hearing open until August for that meeting. Please get together with Mr. Reed and hammer this stuff out and figure out what it is that you need, bring documents, I guess to show him if necessary.
