Smith, arguing that film comâ€" panies aren‘t hurting for money, proposed the fee be increased to $500. This, he explained, would not only cover costs but generate revenue as well. He also moved to push the 14â€"day notification periâ€" od to 21 days and raise the sevenâ€" day road closure warning to two weeks. The Committee also considered several suggestions by one resiâ€" dent who said he‘d like to see a minimum of 21 days notification as well as veto power for effected homeowners. Smith â€" who reminded everyâ€" one of an incident last year in which residents could not get into their own driveways â€" said deciâ€" sions should be made by Town standards, not the film industry‘s. A veto, however, was impractical. "I don‘t think you‘ll get a whole street to say yes to a movie or a whole street that will say no to a movie," said Smith, adding more notice would not hurt proâ€" duction schedules since movies are planned well ahead of time. Bird said one unfortunate inciâ€" dent should not ruin it for everyâ€" body and said Smith‘s amendâ€" ments would not be well regarded by the film community. Allowing one disgruntled resident veto power was similarly "heavyâ€"handâ€" ed," he said. Smith‘s motions lost. On Monday, the full Council will conâ€" sider the Committee‘s recommenâ€" dations.
