about this um and I think the question was other than where their parking area is uh the rest of the property we can do anything with it so um I know if the kayak place was still operating there they can keep their trailer up anywhere other than in that leas area um with the house we can do anything we want we can have parking anywhere we want on site this area is there area down the closer to the reservoir but the rest of the lot is for whatever purposes we want Mr chair Mr um once this parking lot is put in this unit and does that preclude us from doing anything else with this property um we could we can't sell but I don't believe with that on there I I'd have to check into that um we could rent the house to anyone that wanted to rent the house and if a business wanted to rent the house and operate out of there or they wanted to tear that if we wanted to tear that house down and build something else there we could and do you have some sort of a timeline that you've heard from fishing game as to when this project will be taking place yeah last we talked with them they were finalized in this plan and they were going out to bid this fall so with the intent hopefully of uh building it in the spring and is there any cost to the town for any of this project that's being done no this is all funded by the state thank you Mr chair like can you talk to the owner of the kayak business to see if he's able to run his business still with those conditions I will okay yeah I know I know he's been in touch quite a bit on it too so yeah I mean maybe if you could have him you you speak to him and let us know because I think I asked last meeting too or having come to the next meeting it would be great okay next up we have a discussion on um closing the library or Library Square for the 2024 Festival of Lights scheduled for Sunday December 8th 2024 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Town common fairly self-explanatory but are there any questions Mr chair Mr Maron I make a motion that we
