consumption on the premises, any material changes to the dining or
kitchen facilities, or any change in the size or location of any bar

this chapter at which alcoholic beverages are dispensed. A minor
alteration shall be deemed to be one costing and valued at less than ten
thousand dollars, which does not materially affect the character of the
premises or the physical structure that existed at the time of
licensing. Before commencing work on the alteration, any licensee other
than a micro-winery, a farm winery or a roadside farm market licensee,
shall request permission to effect such minor alteration and shall
submit an affidavit to the liquor authority by filing the same in person
or by certified mail return receipt requested or overnight delivery

winery, micro-winery, farm winery or roadside farm market licensee is
not required to obtain permission from the authority to make a minor
alteration to its premises. The affidavit shall include but not be
limited to a description of the proposed alteration, the cost and value
of the alteration, and the source of money making the alteration
possible. Upon receipt of such affidavit, the authority shall have
twenty days in which to review the proposed alteration and notify the
licensee of any objection to the same by certified mail return receipt
requested. If no such objection is made within such period permission
shall be deemed to have been granted. Work may commence on such
alteration if no objection is received by the twenty-fifth day after
filing such affidavit. The cost of an alteration, for purposes of this
subdivision, shall be equal to the total sum expended to complete the
proposed alteration excluding professional fees.
