Longer-form draft.
At the June 15 Select Board meeting, members approved a common victualler's license for Commune All Day Cafe permitting 5 AM operations. The discussion revealed that other merchants in the center had not received prior notice of the zoning change that made these hours possible. Staff was asked to confirm whether notifications would now be sent. The board also voted unanimously to request a one-year temporary waiver from the Cannabis Control Commission prohibiting retail recreational marijuana deliveries. A community survey is planned during that period to gather input before any longer-term policy is set. Separately, the board approved a plan to auction three of the seven decorated horses from the Writing Through History exhibit and relocate the illuminated horse to the Community Center. One resident expressed disappointment over the loss of a prominent public location and raised vandalism concerns, though the board cited lighting and cameras at the new site. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/select-board/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
