Jellystone Park, formerly Pine Acres Resort, will be required to apply for a new use permit for its relocated store with a beer and wine license.
The board of supervisors on Tuesday proved unwilling to sidestep county planning and environmental health regulations.
"It seems we could make more progress by having people work together," said John Tomasello, the disappointed Jellystone representative. "We have been working on getting the park back to what it was. Everyone should come and take a look."
District 5 Supervisor Brian Oneto will probably be paying for barricades to close the road through Fiddletown for that community's annual Fiddlers' Jam on Sept. 20 out of his recreation fund. The Amador County Public Works Department is insisting upon payment of a fee of $650 for review and approval of a traffic control plan, as well as two Saturday site visits by an inspector at overtime rates.
An expense of this level would be a painful blow to the nonprofit Fiddletown Community Center, sponsor of the event, and Oneto expressed sympathy for their situation. Other supervisors did not volunteer to contribute.
