County panel reviews festival permitting changes
Festivals continued for review by the code enforcement officer. Special events drawing 500 to 5000 people must draft an emergency action plan covering security emergency services fire and law enforcement. The county Technical Review Committee will review the plans and issue the temporary use permit. The committee will verify paperwork compliance but not the event’s purpose attendance or other details. The goal is not to restrict events but to reassure neighbors and inform sheriff and fire departments. Planning Board members objected to broad staff visit language and proposed an official duty caveat.
