A
A
Today's
hearing
is
being
held
pursuant
to
temporary
amendment
amendments
to
the
open
meeting
law.
That
is
what
allows
us
to
meet
virtually
with
us
today
is
executive
director,
kathleen
joyce
and
myself
rebecca
food
director
of
operations
calling
first
item
orpheum
theater.
The
request
is
to
maintain
and
operate.
The
categories
of
stage
plays
floor
shows
consisting
of
musical
and
theatrical
performances
with
up
to
70,
instrumentalists
and
70
vocalists
for
seven
days
a
week
until
the
hours
of
11
p.m.
B
Morning,
executive,
director
and
operations
manager
rebecca
thank
you
very
much.
Dennis
quilty,
representing
the
orpheum
theater
with
us
this
morning,
laura
marie
cancro
from
live
nation
and
aaron
mcdermott,
who
is
the
for
all
intents
and
purposes.
The
manager
of
record
in
place.
Deirdre
kelly
is
on
maternity
leave,
but
she
has
been
both
aaron
and
deirdre
have
been
running
the
facility
for
some
time
and
aaron
is
certainly
qualified
and
we'd
be
happy
to
bring
deirdre
before
the
division.
B
You
know
when
she
returns
from
her
leave
and
the
the
application
before
you
today
is
really
quite
simple.
For
many,
many
years
long
before
the
present
director
of
this
office,
the
orpheum
was
caused
to
apply
on
a
daily
basis
for
entertainment
licenses,
and
these
are
for
some
of
the
biggest
acts
in
the
united
states
and
the
world
and
oftentimes.
B
B
They
have
an
excellent
reputation
with
the
police
and
in
terms
of
their
management
skills,
and
literally
this
will
simply
allow
us
to
have
an
annual
license
and
thereby
you
know,
do
away
with
the
need
to
be
back
and
forth
to
city
hall.
Looking
for
licenses
on
our
you
know
daily
weekly
monthly
basis.
That
really
is
the
only
change
we
have
vetted
this
with
the
mppna.
B
D
B
B
Mostly
you
know,
literally
national
and
international
acts.
Rolling
stones
have
appeared
there.
The
the
allman
brothers
recorded
a
famous
album
there.
You
know
tedeschi
trucks
band
every
year,
joe
jackson,
maybe
lots
of
people
on
the
way
up.
People
who've
been
around
for
a
long
time,
but
mostly
in
the
kind
of
rock
genre.
I
would
imagine
with
the
occasional.
You
know
simpler
act
if
you
will,
but
mostly
I'd,
say
the
rock
genre.
D
A
A
So
next
item
is
loco,
taqueria
and
oyster
bar
located
at
412-414,
west
broadway,
south
boston.
The
applicant
is
broadway
restaurant,
llc
manager
of
record
michael
shaw.
The
request
is
to
maintain
and
operate
the
categories
of
audio
device,
tvs,
projectors,
disc
jockey,
karaoke
up
to
five
instrumentalists
five
vocalists
to
their
existing
non-live
entertainment,
license
attorney
cruelty.
B
Thank
you
again
and
I'm
director
and
rebecca
thanks
for
having
us
here
this
morning
with
politics
mike
shaw,
who's.
The
president
and
proposed
manager
of
record
mike,
has
been
running
this
operation
for
many
years.
He
affiliated
with
the
restaurants,
lincoln
and
capo
across
the
street
very
very
popular
sites
in
the
south,
boston
neighborhood.
B
The
information
was
given
out
and
questions
answered
on
this
application
and
it
is
to
allow
live
entertainment
at
the
site.
The
new
space
allows
for
this.
We
have
had
a
successful
ons
abutters
meeting.
We
have
met
with
the
saint
vincent's
neighborhood
association
and
with
the
district
city,
councilor,
council,
flaherty
and
again
as
we
come
before,
you
we're
not
aware
of
any
opposition.
They
have
a
an
excellent
reputation
in
the
neighborhood
which
I
think
is
well
deserved
and
we're
certainly
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
looking
at
the
floor
plan
that
was
submitted
with
the
application,
and
I'm
just
going
to
ask,
can
you
talk
me
through
where
the
entertainment's
going
to
be,
and
then
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
resubmit
that
with
those
with
the
entertainment
spots
highlighted,
so
we
can
easily
see
it
if
you
don't.
F
So
there
are
two
sides,
obviously
now
there's
the
there's
the
410
side,
the
four
12
side,
which
is
previously
existing
the
last
six
and
a
half
years.
The
entertainment
on
the
412
side
would
remain
when
the
412
side
is
open
in
that
corner.
When
410
is
open,
it
would
be
all
the
way
in
the
back
of
that
second
room.
If
you
see
where
the
bathrooms
are
at
the
back
end
of
the
bar
right
in
the
middle
of
that
wall,
all
the
way
back
towards
the
parking
garage.
C
C
C
F
F
B
B
You
know
started
out
reaching
out
to
the
mayor's
office
had
a
an
s
of
letters
meeting,
as
I
suggested
met
with
the
saint
vincent's
association
met
with
the
electeds
or
converse
with
the
electeds
to
make
sure
they
were
aware
of
it.
I
mean
I
think
we
hit
all
of
the
possible
areas
of
of
interest
in
the
process,
both
on
zoning,
licensing
and
entertainment,
and
all
three
were
discussed
at
all
of
these
meetings.
Mike,
would
you
be
able
to
add
anything.
F
No,
I
think
a
lot
of
this
was
discussed
pre-code
when
we
obviously
initially
planned
and
stopped
the
project,
but
both
with
you
know
directly
communicating
with
the
abutters,
obviously
the
civic
associations
and
our
elected
officials.
We
we
went
through
the
community
approval
process
in
dennis.
I
think
it
was
2019
and
then
everything
kind
of
died,
so
we're
just
we're
we're
just
making
our
way
to
where
we
thought
we'd
be
a
couple
of
years
ago.
F
F
C
Okay,
thank
you.
We've
been
finding
since
live.
Entertainment
has
been
allowed
since
coved
we've
been
getting
more
and
more
complaints
from
residents
who
live
above
places
that
have
live
entertainment,
so
we're
just
we're
focusing
a
lot
on
soundproofing
now.
So
that's
helpful
to
us
to
be
able
to
take
that
into
consideration,
and
so
the
hours
of
entertainment
will
be
seven
days
a
week
until
1am.
Is
that
what
the
license
is
for.
F
C
Okay,
and
will
there
be
a
dance
floor?
No
okay,
no
dance
more.
So
let
me
think
so.
If
you
could
we'll
probably
need
an
updated
plan
from
you
as
far
as
dispersal,
because
now
you
have
this
additional
space
as
well,
just
so
that
we
have
that
on
record
and
how
you'll
deal
with
clients,
okay
and
rebecca,
I'm
gonna.
I
know
you
have
a
couple
other
notes
here
for
specific
things.
You
have
questions
on.
C
A
Thank
you
thanks
all
right
and
the
last
item
that
we
have
today
is
srv
restaurant
located
at
569
to
575
columbus
avenue
roxbury.
The
applicant
is
south
and
partners
inc
manager
of
record
james
koshener.
Sorry
have
I
butchered
that
to
maintain
and
operate
the
category
of
background
music
on
the
front
patio
for
seven
days
a
week
from
5
p.m,
to
10
p.m,
to
the
existing
non-live
entertainment
license
and
who
is
president
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
A
C
A
C
G
A
A
G
G
A
C
H
Yeah,
so
controlling
the
volume
has
really
been
the
name
of
the
game
for
us,
and
you
know
something
that
was
brought
up
with
our
butters
was
just
the
louder.
The
music
is
the
louder.
The
talking
is
so
making
sure
that
we
keep
to
our
agreed
upon
noise
level
and
then
being
sure
that
we
have
the
music
off
by
10
pm,
which
was
also
something
that
we
agreed
upon
with
our
butters
in
a
previous
meeting.
I
Hi
yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
kim
crusoe
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal
under
the
conditions
srb
agreed
to
with
the
clermont
neighborhood
association
and
the
abutters,
which
would
be
a
10
pm
end
for
the
outdoor
music,
no
use
of
the
upper
deck
and
then
trying
the
speakers
the
front
speakers
for
one
year
and
continue
use
if
there
are
no
issues.
Thank
you.
G
In
one
of
the
offices
directly
above
the
restaurant,
they
have,
they
have
a
deck
that
they
use
as
an
amenity
to
like
outside
to
have
like
lunch
or
whatever.
We
used
it
briefly
during
cobid
kobit
for
a
couple,
private
dinners
or
whatever-
and
we
ceased
it-
we
ceased
to
use
it.
So
that's
why
it
was
brought
up.
J
J
C
J
J
A
So
I
think
what
we
need
to
look
at
is
the
inspection
and
the
place
of
assembly
permit,
because
that
dictates
what
the
indoor
capacity
is
and
the
outside.
I
did
not
look
at
it
beforehand,
unfortunately,
but
on
the
entertainment
I
do
know,
it
says
to
something
and
nothing
with
the
outside.
Typically,
we
put
zero
if
music
has
not
been
allowed
outside,
yet.
J
But
it's
definitely
contain
music
and
in
the
sense
of
neighborhood
impact,
again
the
butters
and
now
the
front
space
that
deck
area
has
a
tremendous
impact
on
the
neighbors
along
the
alleyway.
So
it's
it's
probably
more
important
as
far
as
residential
impact,
except
for
the
the
changes
that
are
now
going
across
the
street
to
really
focus
on
that
outdoor
deck.
J
H
Yeah
great
question:
so
we
have
a
marked
level
on
the
volume
which
is
only
accessible
by
managers,
and
that
was
agreed
upon
during
a
butters
meeting.
I
think
we
had
at
least
maybe
15
people
here
from
around
the
neighborhood.
We
actually
all
got
out
in
the
alleyway,
turned
on
the
music
and
set
the
volume
to
kind
of
an
agreed-upon
amount,
and
we
have
not
measured
the
decibels,
though
of
that,
so
that's
definitely
something
we
could
do
if
that
would
satisfy.
C
C
C
Just
going
to
jump
in
again,
are
you
in
support
or
opposition?
They
they
don't
have
to
have
their
own
monitoring
device.
They
can
download
one,
but
I
just
trying
to
get
control
back
on
the
hearing
if
you're
in
support
or
opposition,
but
we're
happy
to
take
that
support
and
opposition
right
now.
It's
not.
J
C
J
C
C
H
They
can
adjust
the
volume
I've
actually
shared,
my
personal
cell
phone
as
well
as
email
with
the
the
group
of
abutters,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
you
were
included
on
that
todd.
So
I
I
can
definitely
extend
that
to
you
as
well.
My
personal
cell
phone
number,
if
there
ever
is
an
issue
and
I'm
very
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
remedy
if
music
does
get
out
of
hand
or
anything
else.
J
J
K
C
What
I
would
suggest
is
you
first
call
the
restaurant
and
say
the
music
is
too
loud.
Would
you
mind
turning
it
down?
Then
you
could
email
our
office
and
say
you
know
the
music
was
too
loud
and
they
did
not
turn
it
down.
I
think
sound
travels
differently,
depending
on
the
weather,
how
it
bounces
off
buildings,
depending
if
you
know,
if
it's
if
it
if
the
windows
are
open
or
closed
or
a
jar,
if
there's
more
people.
C
And
I
think
we
could
take
you
guys
could
have
your
conversation
offline.
This
is
not
what
the
public
hearing
before
the
licensing
board
is
about
to
deal
with,
one
particular
person's
concerns.
So
if
there's
anybody
else
who
would
like
to
testify
and
support
our
opposition,
we're
happy
to
hear
from
you
hi.
E
My
name
is
bob
barney,
I'm
in
a
butter.
I'm
also
president
of
the
clermont
neighborhood
association,
where
this
property
is
located,
and
I
just
have
a
comment
first.
So
it's
sort
of
I
think
todd
has
kind
of
raised
all
the
issues
as
well
as
kim,
but
we
did
have
an
incident
this
saturday
where
there
was
a
dj
and
the
back
patio
windows
were
open
and
it
was
incredibly
difficult
for
neighbors.
E
H
Yeah
bob-
I
can
speak
to
that,
so
I
can
confirm
that
for
you
and
the
issue
there
was
coveted
related,
as
I,
as
I
said
in
my
previous
email,
and
that
the
party
there
had
serious
concerns.
They
wanted
to
still
go
through
at
their
event,
but
they
had
concerns
about
the
lack
of
air
flow
from
it
being
a
closed-off
event,
which
is
why
the
windows
were
open.
H
E
C
J
Again,
joyce,
I
understand
we're
trying
to
get
it,
but
understanding
this
process
of
your
office
review
and
issuing
of
a
license
is
important
for
this
meeting
for
a
lot
of
us.
What
is
the
legal
process
of
now
your
office,
taking
the
amendments
into
advisement,
potentially
looking
at
the
other
records
as
far
as
indoor
outdoor
space
and
the
public
being
able
to
view
what
details
in
that
license
before
you
issue
it?
Is
there
some
way
or
some
timing
that
allows
us.
C
It's
not
it's
not
a
negotiation.
I
come
out
with
a
decision
and
the
decision
is
is
incorporated
into
the
license
and
that's
a
public
record,
so
you
could
all
get
a
copy
of
the
decision
and
a
copy
of
the
license
you
can
submit
whatever
you'd
like
in
writing.
If
you'd,
like
I
mean
I
think,
we've
covered
all
the
things
that
the
board
looks
at
rebecca.
Are
there
any
other
things
that
you
have
questions
on
as
far
as
what
might
be
missing
in
the
application.
K
Yeah
and
if
I
could
jump
in
my
name's
katie
brown,
I'm
also
one
of
the
abutters
I'm
on
wellington,
I'm
also
part
of
the
claremont
neighborhood
association,
and
I
just
want
to
echo
some
of
the
comments
from
todd
and
bob.
I
realize
that
there's
not
as
many
people
on
the
call,
but
this
has
been
a
neighborhood
impact,
so
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
to
say
I'm
also,
I
think
they're
representing
a
larger
population
that
they've
heard
of
heard
from
regarding
this.
Thank
you.
