That

Virtually
this

and
will

the

boston's

Before
I
review
some
procedural
matters,
I
will
introduce
cheryl
and
kathleen
joyce.
B
A
A
The
first
three
items
are
amendments
to
already
licensed
locations.
The
first
item
is
the
applicant
is
berkshire
routes.
The

251
and
253
meridian
street
east
boston.
They
have
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
amendment
is
for
to
amend
the
hours
of
operations.
The

through

a.m,

p.m.

through

10
a.m,
to

p.m
and

a.m
to

p.m.
We
will
start
with
comments
from
the
board
members
chairman.
B
Joyce
thanks
jasmine.
This
was
originally
an
application
to
change
hours
and
to
also
add
delivery
and
the
applicant
decided
to
move
forward
with
just
the
change
in
hours
and
at
first
glance.
I
saw
this
strictly
through
the
lens
of
adding
additional
two
hours
and
changing
them
to
start
later
and
open
up
later.
B
But
after
listening
to
the
testimony
and
going
back
and
listening
to
the
community
meeting,
I
find
it
very
hard
to
look
at
this
change
of
hours
without
also
looking
at
the
change
that
these
hours
would
have
the
impact
that
these
change
of
hours
would
have
on
the
neighborhood,
especially
with
delivery
coming
up
next
month,
they've
only
been
open
since
july
2020..
B
B
D
C
I
think
they're,
you
know
the
community
feedback
in
terms
of
the
residence
was
important.
It
is
a
dense
residential
neighborhood
and
I
think
their
concerns
are
on
parking
and
I
really
took
it
into
consideration
so
yeah,
I'm
gonna
wait
until
we
vote.
E
I
don't
have
any
comments
just
that
the
public
comments
were
concerning
in
definitely
taking
that
into
consideration.
F
Yeah
likewise,
I
agree
with
my
my
fellow
commissioners
on
the
shared
concerns
about
the
hours
change.
B
I
make
a
motion
to
defer
the
change
in
hours
until
we
hear
next
month
on
the
delivery,
and
I
believe
they'll
be
meeting
with
the
community
or
they'll
be
getting
more
community
input
by
then.
B
A
Next,
we
have
a
send.
The
applicant
is
the
send
mass
llc,
the
pro
the
license
premise
is
268
to
274
fringe
street
west
end.
The
license
type
is
a
recreational
cannabis
essentially
license.
The
request
is
to
amend
the
license
to
allow
for
delivery
of
recreational
cannabis
through
a
licensed
marijuana
career
chairman
joyce.
Do
you
have
any
comments.
B
Yeah,
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
this,
but
the
applicant
did
answer
them
and
there
was
a
lot
of
support.
My
questions
had
to
do
with
whether
or
not
they
were
going
to
try
to
take
over
that
loading
zone
for
themselves
all
day,
and
I
feel
confident
that
they
have
a
good
plan
in
place.
C
I'm
thinking
about
deluding
something
I'm
worried
about
that,
but
it
yeah
comfortable
with
it.
E
D
Yeah,
I
have
nothing
to
add.
I
think
they.
I
thought
they
were
very
conscientious
about
the
other
businesses
and
did
appear
to
have
a
really
good
plan,
so
we'll
just
have
to
see
how
it
goes
out.
B
A
Next,
we
have
the
applicant
evoke
inc.
The
licensed
premise
is
1102
blue
hill
avenue
dorchester,
the
license
type
is
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
request
is
to
change
the
beneficial
interest
and
a
change
to
the
ultimate
beneficial
interest
to
the
I
read
that
can
be
wrong:
change
of
beneficial
interest
and
a
change
of
the
ultimate
beneficial
interest
holder
entity,
name
from
evoke
holden's
llc
to
injaga
global
llc.
No
changes
to
operational
control,
chairwoman,
joyce.
A
B
E
A
A
Next,
we
will
move
to
our
new
license
application.
The
first
one
is
rooted
in
llc.
The
proposed
license:
premise
is
13-15
west
street
chinatown.
The
license
type
is
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
9
a.m
to
7
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week
this
is
an
equity
applicant.
Their
isd
falling
was
september.
A
B
Yes,
I'd
like
to
first
start
by
saying
this
is
an
equity
applicant,
and
I
am
aware
of
that.
As
I
go
through
the
evaluation
criteria
that
is
before
us,
I
want
to
jump
into
location,
they
scored
very
low
for
me
on
location.
B
B
B
There
are
there,
so
I'm
going
through
the
location
they
they're,
also
just
outside
the
buffer
zone,
for
the
state
street
location
we
approved
there
within
the
buffer
zone
for
raster
routes
and
within
the
buffer
zone
for
patriot
care.
So
I
think
I
got
that
straight
they're
within
the
buffer
zone
for
two
locations
just
outside
the
buffer
zone,
for
one
which
we've
already
approved.
B
They
are
next
door
to
a
homeless
shelter
and
they
are
512
feet
next
to
a
high
school
that
caters
to
recovery,
children
in
recovery,
the
positives
as
far
as
their
location
is
it
is
a
residential.
It
is
a
residential
and
commercially
diverse
area.
However,
most
of
those
residents
are
students
and
there
is
no
on-site
parking,
but
they
have
a
lot
of
access
to
public
transportation.
This
reminds
me
a
lot
of
sanctuary
in
chinatown.
Technically,
this
is
also
chinatown.
B
I
like
the
applicants,
I
like
their
their
diversity
inclusion
plan.
I
like
their
employment
plan.
I
do
not
like
this
location,
the
community
feedback.
Not
only
was
there
a
lot
of
opposition,
the
quality
of
the
opposition
was
persuasive
to
me.
There
was
some
support
and
I
because
there
was
some
support
for
from
counselor
at
large
former
council
law,
janissa
sabi,
george
and
former
mayor
janie.
B
They
did
get
some
points
in
that
category
for
me,
and
their
safety
and
security
plan
was
impressive
they're
if
it
was
just
one
thing
of
piercing
the
buffer
zone
because
of
a
like
a
like
a
like
a
similar
retail
establishment,
I
think
they
they
meet
all
the
criteria
with
their
community
space
and
offering
a
different
experience.
But
I
really
can't
get
past
the
location
and
the
impacts
of
that.
Not
only
did
they
score
zero
on
2c,
I
would
have
scored
them
negative,
zero.
C
Yeah,
I
would
say
they
scored
pretty
high
and
most
of
it
for
me,
except
for
the
location,
but
I
was
also
thinking
that
I
didn't
see
anybody
come
out,
come
from
the
school
itself
to
oppose
them
the
high
school
so
and
then
I
saw
they
submitted
more
letters
of
support.
C
I
also
think
you
know
it
is
close
to
downtown.
We
have
a
lot
of
different
commercial
businesses
there.
I
think
people
are
most.
People
are
aware
that
you
can't
do
there's
not
a
lot
of
parking,
there's
a
lot
of
public
transit,
so
I
don't
think
it
creates
that
kind
of
problem,
and
I
think
because
we
have
to
cite
these
businesses
in
different
parts
of
the
city
we're
going
to
come
across
these
conflicts.
So
I
am
actually
comfortable
with
this.
With
this
location
and
their
presentation.
E
Sorry,
yeah
that
this
one's
such
a
tough
one
honestly,
it
is
scored,
really
high
on
the
dei
and
employment
and
safety
and
again
the
location.
This
is
such
a
tough
one
and
I'm.
This
is
my
first
meeting
with
this
kind
of
newish
scorecard
where
things
are
really
delineated
out
by
like
the
five
points
here
and
by
you
know,
abcde.
E
So
I'm
I.
While
I
am
appreciating
that
you
know
it's
just
really
hard.
I
really
like
the
plan.
I
like
the
pop-ups,
I
like
the
importance
of
having
an
equity
applicant
in
downtown
and
the
importance
of
having
a
foothold
there
for
people
of
color
business
owned
businesses.
E
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
my
scores
were
very
low
on
location
and
community
feedback
and
public
support,
but
very
high
on
these
other
things,
and
so
I
also
am
not
comfortable.
I
could
I
wouldn't
say
that
I
would
say
that
if
there
was
some
way,
I
I
really
like
the
applicants
too.
E
F
Thank
you.
I
think
today
we're
gonna
come
up
across
a
couple
of
these
instances
with
you
know,
strong
opposition
and
and
what
would
seem
like
it,
you
know
less
than
ideal
location,
and
so
you
know
I
do
recognize
that
we
have
to.
F
This
then
goes
before
the
zoning
board
and
so
they'll
be
hearing
the
same.
The
same
thing
and
there
have
been
times
in
the
past
where
we've
approved
and
the
zoning
board
has
denied.
That
being
said,
I
have
to
base
my
decision
on.
F
You
know
what
I,
what
I
feel
is
is
correct,
and
I
and
I
do-
I
too
believe
that's
a
location
that
you
know
even
though
been
hit
by
covet
and
there's
not
as
much
foot
track
at
foot
traffic
that
there
is
going
to
be
significant
more
in
in
the
years
to
come
in.
It
is
a
location,
just
the
whole
area,
a
place
that
can
that
can
have
multiple
establishments
without
having
a
huge,
huge
community.
F
I
appreciate
that
it
is
that
it
is
close
to
chinatown,
and
I
guess
you
know
technically.
I
know
that
area
very
very
well
worked
down
there
for
for
many
many
years,
and
so
I,
with
a
strong
security
plan
that
they
have.
I
I
don't
see
an
issue
with
you
know
with
having
youth
or
people
in
recovery.
F
The
legal
marijuana
establishments
are
just,
I
think,
there's
a
perception
of
what
they
are
and
then
a
reality
of
really
what
they
are
in
terms
of
their
level
of
security.
Their
clientele,
their
you
know,
have
been
studies
shown
that
have
actually
improved
crime
in
some
places,
just
given
all
the
the
level
of
security.
F
So
I
I
appreciate
I
do
appreciate
the
schools
in
there
and
coming
out
and
giving
testimony
against
this,
but
I
feel
confident
and
and
particularly
in
this
operator,
that
they
will
be
able,
as
as
commissioner
lombos
has
indicated,
to
continue
to
work
and
with
with
the
community
and
just
maintain
a
super
high
level
of
diligence
and
and
for
for
making
sure
that
it
doesn't
get
into
the
wrong
hand.
So
I
I
too
am
uncomfortable
at
this
location.
D
This
this
is
tough,
but
I
I
think
the
sticking
point
for
me
is
that
it's
exactly
next
door
to
bridge
over
troubled
waters
and
having
worked
with
that
shelter
and
knowing
the
population
that's
there
and
how
hard
they
work
with
with
the
clients
that
they
get
there.
I
am
extremely
uncomfortable
with
this
being
next
door
there.
I
I
don't
have
any
doubt
that
the
operators
will
do
the
best
that
they
can
and
that
they're
good
business.
D
But
I
just
think
this
is
the
worst
location
that
they
could
have
chosen
to
be
near
that
population
of
young
people
who
are
there
to
try
to
you,
know
uplift
their
lives
after
falling
into
disrepair
and
disregard
to
just
have
that
temptation,
and
not
that
they'll
even
be
able
to
get
in
there,
because
I
I
have
no
doubt
that
that's
going
to
happen.
All
that
will
happen.
I
mean
I
don't
think
they
would
allow
that
to
happen.
I
just
think
that
the
location
the
location
for
me
is
what
makes
me
uncomfortable
everything
else
about
this.
B
F
Yeah,
I
really
appreciate
what
commissioner
lombos
had
said
in
terms
of
just
making
sure
that
there
is.
This
consist
constant
feedback
and
input
from
the
community.
So
I
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
application.
F
On
the
condition
of
regular
meetings
with
community
stakeholders,.
A
All
right,
so
you
want
to
approve.
The
motion
is
to
approve,
with
with
the
condition
that
they
have
monthly
meetings
with
stakeholders.
E
Can
I
ask
a
question
about
that,
or
just
I
guess
I
I
do
feel
uncomfortable
that
two
commissioners
that
I
very
much
value
and
respect
their
opinion
feel
very
strongly
against
this
location.
E
Do
would
the
monthly
check-ins
be
sufficient,
or
is
there
anything
that
you
two
could
think
of
that
would
alleviate
the
not
alleviate
all
the
concern,
but
would
help
with
that.
D
If
it
was
an
adult
homeless
shelter,
I
might
not
have
the
same
concerns,
but
we've
got
young
adults.
We've
got
kids
from
12
to
21
there,
and
some
of
them
have
come
from
some
really
tough
circumstances,
they're
very
vulnerable,
and-
and
I
don't
know
I
mean
my
my-
my
fears
could
be
groundless,
but
I
just
think
I
I
agree
with
the
chairperson
of
all
the
places
you
pick
you're
next
to
a
youth
shelter,
and
I
mean
I
get
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
places
that
people
can
go
and
they
can
afford.
B
I
mean
this
board
said
no
to
an
applicant
that
was
next
to
some
elderly
homes
in
chinatown
right.
This
is
a
homeless
shelter
for
youth
that
they
provide
education
services,
and
I
I
just
really
I
feel
as
if
there's
got
to
be
another
location,
I'm
not
saying
nothing
else
in
this
neighborhood
yeah.
E
Yeah,
I
I
have
a
hard
time
to
just
because
it's
hard
for
me
to
compare
all
the
locations.
I
don't
have
them
all
in
my
head
and
I
do
remember
that
chairwoman,
joyce
and
so
it
I
guess.
F
Can
I
just
respond
to
that
just
real,
just
real
quickly,
I
think
you're
chairwoman
you're
referring
to
the
sanctuary,
is
that
is
that
correct
that
this
chinatown
yeah
I
mean
I
that
was
very
much
in
the
heart
of
chinatown
and
and
for
in
what
I
remember
significant
community
community
opposition,
and
I
know
that
there
was
there
were
definitely
correspondences.
I
didn't
feel
that
there
was
as
much,
and
I
felt
I
felt
I
feel
more
and
I'm
not
arguing
I'm
not
arguing
I'm
just
comparing.
F
I
feel
more
confident
in
this
operator
than
than
I
did
in
that
one.
It
didn't
feel
it
didn't.
If
I
remember
correctly,
didn't
seem
like
they
did
their
due
diligence
to
actually
work
with
the
community
and.
D
C
I
I
think
we
all
have
location
issues
in
that
sense
I
mean
I
I
did
consider
that
as
well.
I
think
I
know
everybody
said
we
educate
it,
but
it's
still
in
my
mind.
I'm
thinking
I
didn't
hear
the
school
itself
say
anything
so
that
was
sort
of
interesting
to
me,
but.
D
D
And
it's
not
just
homeless
these,
these,
the
kids
that
utilize
bridge
over
troubled
waters
come
there
looking
for
help
they're
runaways,
some
of
them
have
addiction
problems
if
they're
homeless-
and
it's
just
like
I
said
my
fears
could
be
unfounded,
but
just
knowing
the
population
that
that
establishment
deals
with
on
a
daily
basis
makes
me
very
uncomfortable
having
this
next
to
them.
D
It's
not
that
it's
not!
No.
I
do
think
that
the
security
could
probably
do
a
great
job.
The
problem
is
that
I
think
bridge
over
troubled
waters
does
house
young
adults
up
to
21.,
so
the
21
year
olds
are
old
enough
and
legally
can
go
and
and
utilize
the
establishment,
but
now
what
does
that
do
for
the
rest
of
the
population?
In
there
I
mean
it's
just
a
whole
lot
of
other
things.
That
came
in
my
mind
about
it
being
there
and
just
knowing
the
population
that
they
serve
like.
D
D
B
B
C
E
B
B
C
Because
all
of
the
concerns
are
valid
with
the
you
know,
bridge
over
troubles
and
all
that,
so
I'm
thinking,
but
is
there
a
way
for
them
to
have
time
to
meet
more
with
the
community,
but
even
if
they
can
find
another
location
close
to
downtown.
So
is
there
a
way
to
kind
of
push
that
off
a
little
bit?
Well,
that's.
F
E
D
Maybe
that
maybe
that's
how
or
maybe
that's
what
I
should
have
said,
commissioner
lombos
yeah,
I
mean
I
I
feel
we
need
to
talk
about
this
a
little
bit.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
information.
We
really
need
to
because
we're
all
on
a
different
everybody
has
their
concerns,
and
I
I
just
think
if
whatever
we
vote
on
here,
I
mean,
if
yeah
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
yeah
either
reject.
D
Then
they
have
to
go
find
another
location
which
would
be
optimal
for
me
or
we
just
defer
it,
and
until
we
can
get
some
more
information
or
maybe
talk
a
little
more
to
the
butters
or
something.
F
I
just
yeah,
I
I
don't.
I
just
don't
see
how
any
of
the
the
the
concerns
about
the
the
location
are
going
to
be
remedied
even
with
the
different
even
with
it.
I
don't.
I
don't
see.
I
like,
I
feel,
like
I'm,
I'm
vote.
You
know
I'm
making
emotion
in
favor
and
I'm
and
I
am
fully
aware
of
all
of
the
issues
and
concerns.
F
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
that's
going
to
be
brought
to
me
to
to
change
my
mind
and
and
on
the
in
the
very
same
way.
I
don't
think
that
there's
anything
that's
going
to
be
brought
before
commissioner,
commissioners,
joyce
and
holmes
that's
going
to
I
just
I
can't
I
I'm
fine
with
deferment.
I
just
I
feel
like
that.
That's
not
it's!
Not
it's
really!
Not
in
the
I
don't
see
it's
getting
past
it
and
you
know
I,
if
anything
the
if
it's
you
know
reject,
is
rejected.
F
Just
going
to
be
a
very
high
high
level
of
scrutiny
and
again
I
don't,
I
think,
they're
going
to
have
a
hard
time
in
front
of
the
zoning
board.
That
being
said,
I'm
not
on
the
zoning
board.
So
it's
not
that's.
My
decision
has
to
be
made
based
on
my
role
and
in
my
role,
I'm
comfortable
so.
F
Yeah
I
mean
I
would,
I
would
say
it
would
have
to
and
it
would
have
to
be
open
to
any
of
the
abutters
or
any
of
the
I
mean
I
maybe
set
a
an
area.
I
mean
I'm
thinking
of
the
schools,
I'm
not
the
schools,
the
well,
it
can
include
the
high
school,
but
I
meant
the
university
sorry
issues
of
the
universities,
regional.
A
F
With
community
stakeholder,
I
I
hear
you
that
it's
it's
not
it's
a
little
vague.
I
can
with
universities,
businesses
and
non-profits,
which
would
include
schools
in.
A
A
A
D
E
E
There's
only
five
of
us
so
and
I
do
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
the
owner,
which
I
know
you
all
do
too
I
mean
it
seems
like
they
have
a
good
track
record,
so
I
feel
like
we
should
be
able
to
work
this
out
and
feel
comfortable
about
moving
forward
and
not
have
a
split
vote,
and
I
would
like
to
defer
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
defer
to
be
able
to
have
the
owner
work
with
us
on
a
some
sort
of.
E
I
know
this
is
vague,
but
some
sort
of
agreement
with
that
would
would
be
make
us
feel
more
comfortable
with
specifically
the
homeless
shelter,
I'm
hearing,
specifically
the
homeless,
shelter,
and
now
there
were
other
people
in
opposition,
but-
and
we
don't
want
to
disregard
that
as
well.
But
I
think
the
concern
from
the
commissioners
in
location
is
the
homeless
shelter
and
I
think
you're
right
commissioners
again
that
we're
not
going
to
get
past
it.
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
get
past
the
the
problems
but
to
commissioner
holmes
point.
E
E
I
like
I
like
us
to
be
able
to
deliberate
and
see
each
other's
point
of
views,
because
I
have
so
much
respect
of
your
perspectives
and
so
and
I
do
feel
a
lot
of
confidence
and
respect
in
both
the
homeless,
shelter
and
the
owner
to
be
able
to.
We
should
be
able
to
work
this
out
y'all.
So,
let's
figure
this
out.
E
B
D
D
B
A
C
And
I
think
it
has
something
specific
around
what
a
what
would
they
do
to
mitigate
you
know
the
impact
to
bridge
over
troubled
water
right.
C
Need
to
sort
of
figure
that
out
lombo
said
figure
that
out,
like
figure
out
what
that
actually
looks
like
and
be
clear
about
it,
and,
and
they
have
to
agree
that
that
will
work.
A
We
just
started
okay,
so
the
new
motion
is
to
defer
to
allow
the
owner
to
work
and
work
out
an
agreement
with
bridge
over
troubled
water
and
the
earliest
they
will
be
able
to
get
on.
Our
agenda
is
february.

2021
and
the
community
community

was
held
on
july,
2nd
2021.
B
Thank
you
and
they
scored
very
high.
For
me,
this
is
an
experienced
operator.
They've
been
operating
in
the
medical
world
cannabis
world.
For,
since
I
think

A
B
Thanks
jasmine,
this
was
a
very
strong
application.
We
actually
heard
a
very
similar
application
from
the
same
applicant
back
in
april
for
just
the
courier
and
now
that
delivery
whole
is
that
what
it's
called.
B
Operator
is
allowed
it's
a
similar
concept.
He
will
be
storing
the
product
in
a
vault
at
the
location,
but
I
I
see
no
issues
with
this
application.
Very
strong
application.

This
is
a
non-equity
applicant.
The
initial
application
was
filed
september
1921
date
of
inspectional
services
found
was
november,
1st
2020
and
the
date
of
the
community
meeting
was
february.
25Th
2021.
B
Thanks
jasmine,
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record.
We
had
been
going
through
our
files
because
it
had
been
mentioned
in
the
hearing
that
this
location
had
been
rejected
by
the
community
before,
but
we
never
received
an
application.
We
received
an
application
that
was
later
withdrawn
for
a
different
operator
at
this
location,
so
that
was
confusing.
B
That
was
a
little
confusing
because
we
also
had
one
across
the
street
again
scores
very
high
for
me
in
diversity
and
inclusion
and
their
employment
plan
and
their
safety
and
security
plan.
When
it
comes
down
to
location,
they
do
have
a
buffer
zone
conflict.
They
are,
I
think,
point
three.
It
doesn't
even
matter,
but
there's
a
buffer
zone
issue
with
another
dispensary
that
this
board
has
approved.
It
is
in
litigation,
but
this
board
has
approved
a
license
at
a
location
within
the
buffer
zone.
B
It's
a
very
dense
neighborhood,
which
I
think
sometimes
can
go
to
support
multiple
licenses
within
the
area.
However,
this
density,
I
think,
there's
a
balancing.
This
density
is
what's
causing
the
congestion.
We
heard
lots
of
testimony
about
the
one-way
street.
There's
no
parking
it's
difficult
to
begin
with
and
they
anticipate
this
making
it
worse.
There's
lots
of
residents
that
reached
out
about
it
very
concerned
about
its
distance
to
multiple
schools
in
the
area
that
walk.
I
think
we
counted
four
or
five
in
that.
B
While
there
is
access
to
public
transportation,
I
believe,
or
we've
been
told,
that
a
mbta
bus
that
frequently
drops
out
boston
public
schools
stops
right
in
front
of
their
location.
B
It
isn't
necessarily
a
boston
public
school
bus,
but
it
is
a
as
we
all
know,
a
lot
of
boston,
public
school
students
take
mbta
transportation
and
there
is
no
on-site
parking,
so
they
scored
very
low
for
me
on
location,
very
low
for
me
on
community
feedback
and
public
support,
the
opposition
was
detailed
and
persuasive,
and
the
support
was
form
letters
from
local
businesses,
which
I
know
is
common,
but
I
was
really
persuaded
by
the
community
support
community
opposition
and
the
details
that
they
went
into
and
the
concerns
of
the
parents
and
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors.
E
Yeah,
I
agree
and
I
would
actually
say
the
truth:
is
they
so
they
scored
low?
For
me,
an
agreement
with
the
commissioner
joyce
on
location
and
community
feedback
and
public
support.
They
were
okay
on
di
and
employment
plan.
Actually,
so
I
I
feel
like
my
overall
scores
were
not,
as
you
know,
it
wasn't
as
either
or
you
know
stark
in
contrast
so
and
be,
and
obviously
because
you
know
the
public
opposition
was
very
detailed.
I
agree
with
commissioner
joyce.
E
I
was
very
swayed
by
that
as
well
and
they
did
score
low
overall,
just
overall
low.
So
that's
my
comments
so
far.
F
No,
not
not
much
more
to
add.
I
think
you
know
they're
the
significant
information
on
how
the
impact
on
parking
and
traffic-
and
I
know
that
they're
just
going
to
be
neighborhoods
that
that's
going
to
happen
all
the
time.
But
I
do
agree
that
there
were
other.
B
Yes,
I
make
a
motion
to
reject
with
prejudice.
A
Next,
we
have
green
stratus.
The
proposed
license:
premise
is
558
to
560
dorchester
ab
south
boston.
This
is
a
they're
applying
for
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
monday
through
saturday
10
a.m,
to
9
p.m
and
sunday
10
a.m
to
8
p.m.
This
is
a
non-equity
applicant.
The
date
of
initial
fallon
was
august.
11
2020,
the
date
of
filing
with
inspection
service
was
september,
2nd
2020
and
the
day
of
community
meeting
was
february.
22
2021
and
october
14
2021.
B
Thank
you
just
going
over
my
notes
from
what
I
can
tell
this
is
0.3
miles
from
the
gavin
house,
which
is
another
establishment
that
caters
to
people
in
recovery,
so
that
goes
towards
the
location
they
scored
low.
As
far
as
their
distance
from
treatment,
centers
access
to
public
transportation,
they
scored
high,
no
on-site
parking,
so
it
was
a
balance
there.
B
They
scored
low
for
me
on
location,
they
scored
low
for
me
and
community
feedback
and
public
support,
and
I
I
I'm
constantly
looking
at
this
through
the
lens
of
what
the
impacts
will
be
on
the
community.
C
Same
when
I
think
about
you
know
this
public
health
issue
we
have
in
mass
and
class
which
can
spill
over
and
create
a
spin
over
to
what's
in
that
terms
of
that
bus
station.
E
Yeah
this
one
did
score
a
little
bit
higher
for
me
on
dei
and
employment,
but
also
low
on
location
and
community
back
and
was
okay
on
security.
Just
given
some
of
the
testimony
and
how
the
security
plan
wasn't,
as
I
thought
as
tight,
but
I
should
ask
commissioner
holmes
on
that
one.
I
didn't
think
it
was
tight,
so
maybe
she
probably
doesn't
think
it's
tight.
E
So
I
I
do
feel
like
yeah.
Those
are
my
comments
very
low
on
location,
community
feedback
and
so-so
on
security
and
then
still
appreciated
the
the
even
though
it's
not
a
non-equity
applicant
had
very
high
marks
on
dei
unemployment.
F
F
The
presentation
was
good
and
I
thought
that
the
the
operator
I
had
very
was
impressed
definitely
by
her
and
also
defer
to
commissioner
holmes
on
security.
I
know
there
was
a
bunch
of
push
back
on
that.
I
did
hear
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhood
I
do
just
I
do
just
want
to
reiterate.
F
I
think
there
is
a
sort
of
a
concept
or
misconception
of
these
shops
and
sort
of
how
you
know
their
presence
in
neighborhoods
and
some
of
sometimes
they
can
be
very
present
in
the
neighborhood,
and
sometimes
it
can
be
set
up
in
a
way
that
is
much
less
so
and
that
and
yes,
the
the
location
close
to
mass
and
cast
and
what
the
neighbors,
what
the
you
know,
community
is
dealing
with
there.
F
In
terms
of
that,
you
know
epidemic
and
I
heard
loud
and
clear
that
none
of
the
electeds
were
were
supportive.
So,
but
I
do,
I
do
think
that
if
there
was
a
greater
understanding
of
kind
of
how
a
legal
marijuana
shop
impacts
a
neighborhood
in
terms
of
safety
and
security
and
and
with
a
stronger
security
plan,
how
can
it
can
actually
be
a
benefit
to
an
area
that
it
that
is
struggling?
F
But
that
being
said,
I
don't
know
that.
There's
time
that
is
not
on
the
onus
of
the
community
to
to
do
that.
To
do
that,
research,
it's
the
illness
of
the
proposed
operator
to
be
able
to
educate
the
community
on
on
that
and-
and
it
didn't
seem
that
there
was
enough
of
of
that
correspondence
between
between
the
operator
and
the
the
community.
F
So
but
I
do
you
know
I
just
I
in
and
also
want
to
point
out
that
there
are
recovery
places.
Some
are
well
known,
like
a
gavin
house
or
bridge
over
troubled
waters,
and
some
are
are
not
their
recovery
takes
place
in
office
buildings.
It
takes
place
in
in
a
lot
of
places
that
we're
not
even
aware
so
sort
of
distance
to
those
that
are
that
are
facing
recovery.
F
I
think
is
it's
a
little
difficult
to
measure
if
it's
not
if
it's
not
a
a
well-known
place,
so
I
think
that'll
come
up
a
lot
and
you
know
I
if
there
was
a
ton
of
time,
if
I
thought
the
community
would
be
open
to
hearing
more
from
from
the
operator
and
learning
more
about
the
presence.
You
know
the
impact
community
impact
on
neighborhoods
of
legal
pot
shops.
I
think
there
could
be
a
different
outcome
here,
but
again
I
don't.
D
I
like
everything
about
this
except
the
location
if
they
can
propose
this
two
years
down
the
road
after
we
get
a
grip
on
mass
and
cast
and
everything
that's
going
on
right
now
with
the
public
health.
I
just
think
right
now
at
this
time
that
location
is
not
a
good
spot.
It's
it's!
I
it's
just
not
a
good
spot
now
with
the
crisis
that
we're
in
in
that
area,
that's
other
than
that.
I,
the
security
plan,
is
legally
aesthetic.
D
It
says
everything
that
the
ccc
wants,
so
I
mean
they,
the
additional
I
didn't
get
to
read
through
it
all,
because
it
was
very
extensive,
but
I
did
grab
some
of
it
and
citronics
seems
to
have
everything
you
know
all
the
eyes
dotted
and
t's
crossed,
but
right
now
that
area
andrews
square
with
this
continuing
public
health
crisis
we
have
is
just
not
it's
now
is
not
the
time
for
them
to
open
that
there
until
we
can
get
a
grip
on
that.
B
I
think
I
would
make
a
motion
to
reject
without
prejudice,
so
they
could
come
back
at
a
different
time
if
some
of
the
circumstances
changed.
A
Old
and
new
business

This
is
a
equity
applicant,
the
applicant
initially
filed
on
december
22nd
2020.
A
B
Ap
jasmine,
this
is
an
applicant
we
had
heard
previously
and
asked
the
applicant
to
come
back
with
supplemental
material
and
here's
a
neighborhood
in
mission
hill,
where
we've
recently
granted
a
license.
I
think
this
place
is
0.3.
B
It's
three
tenths
of
a
mile
from
racy's,
but
it's
a
different
neighborhood.
D
B
B
It
was
a
tough
one,
but
I
think
they
made
a
compelling
argument
and
I
was
glad
they
took
the
extra
time
to
come
back.
A
F
Yeah,
I
I
agree
with
my
fellow
commissioner
mission:
hills
happens
to
be
a
neighborhood
that
I
know
extremely
well
having
been
born
and
raised
there,
and
so
I
was
initially
you
know
comfortable
with
the
location,
knowing
just
the
difference
in
those
you
know,
even
though
a
short
distance
that
there
are
dead,
very
different
neighborhoods
that
would
be
they
would
have
sufficient
customers
to
not
have
too
much
of
an
overflow
or
impact
on
the
community.
F
I
also
appreciate
the
the
applicant's
history
in
entertainment
and
and
so
forth,
so
really
just
strong,
strong
security,
history
and
so
yeah.
So
I
I
am
very
comfortable
with
opening
commission.
D
They
might
even
draw
two
different
sets
of
clientele,
because
this
one
is
right
at
the
mbta
station
and
the
other
one
is
a
little
further
up
down
the
side
street,
so
they
really
are
gonna
attract
two
different
types
of
clientele
and
I
do
think
the
neighborhood
is
populated
enough
during
the
day
with
businesses
and
then
and
residences
that
the
neighborhood
could
sustain
both
of
these
establishments
here.
So
I'm
I'm
good
with
it.
