Question: |
What is a legal remonstrance?
|
|
Answer:
|
Property owners within a 200’ radius of certain licensed activities have special rights in the application process, including appeal. A legal remonstrance occurs when property owners of at least 50.1% of the total square footage, within the 200’ radius of the proposed location, object to the application. In such a circumstance, the application is considered denied. A property owner is defined as owning property within the 200’ radius from the 4 corners of the building where the proposed licensee is to be located. (Section 3-7-19 of Title 3, General Laws.) These property owners also have standing to appeal a license decision.
This pertains to the following types of license application:
Class BV, B-T, B-L, C, ED, J, T liquor licenses and Motor Vehicle Repair Licenses.
