Brothers Marketplace on Depot Street has received town approval to take over the liquor license of the independent wine and beer shop within its store and expand where it sells alcohol inside its entire store.
On Monday, the Duxbury Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to approve a transfer of an all-alcoholic beverage license from Sverge Gupta, owner of Cellar d’Or Wine and Spirits, to RBSBW, doing business as Brothers Marketplace at 46 Depot St. Danielle Bunting is listed as manager. The board also approved an alteration of the licensed premises to include the entire store.
Bill Kelley, attorney for Brothers Marketplace, said the grocery store will keep the wine and beer shop in the corner of the building but it also plans to place displays of wine and beer in up to 20 locations around the store in order to make it more convenient for shoppers. He expects there will be 10 to 15 displays scattered around the interior at any one time. Brothers Marketplace will also add a beer and wine storage facility in the rear.
Kelley said that alcohol sales will take place at the grocery store registers but only at ones manned by staff over 21 years old. All employees are currently taking an alcohol sales training and certification course, he said.
In other business, the Board of Selectmen:
- Declared Landing Road a “safety zone” and lowered the speed limit to 20 miles per hour. The Selectmen also post poned a vote on reducing the speed limit on 12 streets until the public could be notified of the plan. The streets include Surplus Street, Franklin Street (from Route 53 to Valley Street), Valley Street (Route 53 to the Pembroke line), Gur net Road, Forest Street, Hunt Farm, Old North Street, Marshall Street, Standish Street, Crescent Street, Powder Point Avenue and King Caesar Road. During the public meeting process followed by the Highway Safety Advisory Committee, two of those streets, Powder Point Avenue and King Caesar Road, were not listed specifically on the meeting agenda, which did not give adequate notice to the public that they were being considered. Selectman Ted Flynn said he was “not adverse” to lowering the speed limits on these roads, but that before the board meets on this issue again in October, he would like evidence that reducing speed limits on Washington Street and Wadsworth Road – which the board changed from 30 to 25 miles per hour in February – has made “a positive impact.” The Highway Safety Advisory Committee will host a meeting on the speed limit reductions on some of these streets before that fall meeting, and its members promised to gather evidence for selectmen.
- Appointed Dante Iannaz zo to the Duxbury Historical Commission for a three-year term to expire in June 2023.
- Approved a new utility pole on Laurel Street for Verizon and Eversource.
- Voted unanimously to relocate a public drainage easement on a vacant lot on Cushing Drive. According to Duxbury Planning Director Valerie Massard, relocating the easement will allow property owners Igor and Cait lin Marchenko of Carver to build a single-family house on the lot without impacting the town’s ability to maintain the easement.
