In

we'll
include

It's
currently
currently
a

we're
going
to
turn
it
into
a
hard
permeable
service
again,
as
stated
with
60
seats
and
14
tables,
and
it's
we
wanted
to
be
obviously
an
extension
of
our
restaurant.
With
the
you
know,
the
first
patio
season
last
year,
we've
recognized
that
it's
been
well
received
by
residents
by
the
neighborhood
and
guests
and
worked
with
the
the
condo
board
and
the
residents
of
trinity
place
and
they
are
in
support
of
it.

A
L
L
M
N
O
I'm
connor
armstrong
on
morrow
street,
representing
the
neighborhood
association
in
back
bay.
We
has
no
opposition
to
this
proposal,
except
we
were
under
the
understanding
that
the
closing
hours
were
going
going
to
be
11
pm
on
friday,
saturday
night
and
10
p
10
p.m.
The
other
days
of
the
week
dominique
did
you
have
a
comment
because
we
had
multiple
communications
about
this.
K
Yeah,
yes,
conrad,
thank
you
so
in
in
the
application,
4
p.m.
The
midnight
I
just
want.
I
put
that
on
the
application
just
to
mirror
what
the
the
cv
license
currently
says
for
serelina.
But
I
do
want
to
go
on
record
by
saying
that,
with
the
with
trinity
place
condominium
these
they
were.
We
agreed
upon
10
pm
closing
because
that's
when
the
restaurant
closes
inside
and
on
during
the
week
sunday
through
thursday
and
then
the
restaurants
hours
close
at
11
p.m.
So
essentially.
K
A
A
Q
Set
your
address
so
I'm
a
resident,
I
am
a
resident
one
huntington
avenue,
apartment,
1801
and
I'm
in
a
butter.
Actually,
my
unit
is
above
this.
This
terrace
I'm
not
a
fan.
Quite
honestly,
I
would
terrace
with
60
people
right
under
my
bedroom,
but
the
majority
of
the
residents
at
trinity
has
expressed
their
support.
Q
I
was
also
shocked
by
the
fact
that
the
application
is
still
midnight
because
we
were
clearly
told
that
it
would
be
till
10
o'clock,
and
that
makes
a
huge
difference
when
you're
trying
to
sleep
in
your
bedroom,
whether
it's
10
o'clock,
where
the
place
stops
playing
music
and
loud
people
in
on
the
terrace
and
and
who
knows
smoking
and
whatever
else
goes
on
at
a
terrace
like
that
versus
midnight.
So
if
the
intention
is
to
do
it
until
10,
then
I
think
the
application
should
be
approved
till
10
and
not
a
minute
late.
A
E
Sure
my
name
is
dan
daniel,
I'm
the
president
of
saunders
hotel
group,
we
own
and
manage
the
lenox
hotel,
and
we
are
in
extreme
flavor
of
this
patio
as
we
see
restaurants
and
bars
closing
up
all
around
us,
it's
nice
to
see
the
one
that
is
actually
expanding,
so
we
are
dominic
and
his
team
do
a
great
job
and
we
can't
wait
for
be
able
to
send
our
guests
there.
Thank
you.
A
K
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
you
know
again.
I
want
to
clarify
that
in
it
you
know
it's
I'm
in
no
way
or
you
know,
shape
or
form
trying
to
you
know
change
the
hours
and
again
we
can
clarify
this
miss
joyce
again
with
with
the
trinity.
If
it
needs
to
be
changed
on
the
license
to
reflect
that,
I
it's
you
know
absolutely
no
problem
with
that
whatsoever.
K
Again
I
put
the
midnight
hours
because
I
I
didn't
know-
and
you
just
want
to
clarify-
I
didn't
know
that
if
they
should
be
the
12
o'clock,
time
should
be
the
same
time.
That's
listed
on
the
cv
license
indoors,
because
my
intention
was
not
to
change
the
operating
hours
for
the
the
establishment
in
its
entirety.
K
So
my
confusion
and
apprehension
was
that
you
know
the
insider
license
is
12
o'clock.
So
is
that
what
the
license
should
be
in
in
for
the
whole
space?
So
again,
with
trinity
place,
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
we
agreed
that
sunday
through
thursday,
the
closing
hour
on
the
patio
would
be
10
p.m
and
friday
and
saturday.
The
closing
hour
would
be
11
p.m,
and
I
know
that
the
gentleman
had
mentioned
something
about
music
there's
no
music
allowed
outside.
We
don't
want
it
to
be
loud
and
boisterous.
K
Obviously,
there's
no
smoking.
I've
been
the
general
manager
on
the
property
for
2000,
since
2006
I've
been
the
license
holder
there
since
2006.
and
again
I
I
want.
I
made
sure
I
did
my
community
process
to
make
sure
that
we
satisfied
everybody's
concerns.
You
know
with
residents,
abutters
nabb
back
bay
associates
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
I'm
not
trying
to
do.
You
know,
pull
the
wall
over
here.

We
reached

Then
we
reached

Thank

I
am
here
with

The

proposed
manager
for

special
bullet
special
is
the
current
holder
of
a

with
the

is
seeking
to
upgrade
to

full
liquor
license
transferred
from
what
was
formerly
the
restaurant
bistro
la
zigo
mat
on
south
street
in
the
leather
district.
S
S
So
there
is
a
matter
of
public
convenience
as
well
as
just
simply
being
more
competitive
to
be
able
to
offer
services
all
the
way
to
the
2
a.m.
Closing
for
those
particular
nights
we've
reached
out
to
the
community
and
our
direct
about
our
castle
square
tenants
organization
has
provided
us
with
this
report.
We
submitted
a
copy
of
the
support
letter
from
that
organization.
S
We
also
again
did
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
up
butters
meeting
held
that,
and
there
was
no
opposition
to
that.
There
was
one
informational
attendee.
We
also
reached
out
separately
to
the
ellis
neighborhood
association
as
well
as
bay,
village
and
ls,
provided
their
informal
support.
We
don't
have
an
actual
formal
support
letter
from
them,
but
no
objection
and
bay
village
expressed
some
concerns
and
we
were
trying
to
continue
those
discussions.
We
have
not
been
successful
in
scheduling
additional
meetings
with
bay
village
and
we
are
certainly
open
to
to
hearing
from
them.
S
S
C
Thank
you
attorney
for
covering
the
manager
record
questions.
So
just
so,
I'm
clear,
there's
going
to
be
you're
requesting
because
you
have
purchased
an
all
alcohol
license
to
go
into
this
400
tremont
street
location
and
the
license.
That's
originally
there,
which
is
just
beer
and
wine,
would
go
into
this
99

location.

Hi
yes,
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is

crucioli
from

office
of

The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal,
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
on
march
11,
where
no
opposition
was
shown
by
abundance.
The
applicant
conducted
extensive
community
outreach
with
the
castle
square
attendance
organization
for
their
directive,
honors
the
ellison
neighborhood
association
and
bay
village,
neighborhood
association.
U
They
village
sent
a
letter
of
opposition
regarding
the
extension
of
hours
and
live
entertainment.
The
applicant
received
a
letter
of
support
from
the
castle
square
tenants
organization,
which
acknowledged
that
bootleg
special
has
been
a
good
neighbor
and
has
caused
no
quality
of
life.
Life
concerns
for
the
area.
The
mayor's

would
like
to
acknowledge
that
this
establishment
has
provided
a

for

and
our
respectful
residents.
U
M
Good
afternoon,
madam
of
the
year,
members
of
the
war,
I'm
a
colorado
from
councillor
fling's
office.
The
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
recording
support
based
on
feedback
from
bay
village
neighborhood
association,
as
they
did
not
work
in
good
faith
in
a
compromise
on
closing
hours
to
1am.
Thank
you.
V
V
However,
I
should
like
to
point
out
that
is
about
300
feet
from
the
establishment
and
it's
a
straight
shot
there
absolutely
no
buildings
or
anything
any
other
barriers
to
the
travel
of
noise,
not
much
of
an
issue
during
the
day
when
the
pike
is
is
busy,
but
late
at
night
in
the
early
morning
hours
when
there's
very
little
traffic
on
the
turnpike,
a
sound
travels
directly
across
from
the
location
of
the
premises.
Right
over
to
my
house,
I
have
two
young
children,
ages,
eight
and
10..
V
I'm
also
here
on
behalf
of
the
bay
village,
neighborhood
association,
you
received
the
letter
from
bay
village.
Essentially,
the
neighborhood
association
is
opposing
the
application
at
this
time,
because
there
was
any
failure
to
meaningfully
engage
with
us.
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
I've
lived
in
the
neighborhood
for
20
years.
I
was
president
of
the
neighborhood
association
for
two
years
back
in
the
early
2000s.
V
I
was
on
the
bvna
executive
committee
for
over
15
years,
I've
been
involved
in
many
many
licensing
applications
and
also
in
the
general
development
process,
served
on
bra
committee.
So
I'm
fairly
familiar
with
the
general
situation,
and
what
I
would
say
is
this
has
been
an
extremely
uncooperative
applicant
who's,
basically
blown
off
bay
village,
that's
number
one!
V
As
to
the
substance,
there's
absolutely
no
reason
for
a
2
am
license
for
what
is
being
presented
here
as
a
restaurant
use.
The
particular
premises
are
now
already
configured
mostly
to
be
a
bar
there's,
a
very
large
bar
that
occupies
a
big
part
of
the
of
the
main
room
and
basically,
what
we're.
What
we're
hearing
is
that
there
may
be
weddings
on
a
thursday
night
going
until
2
a.m.
My
kids
have
to
get
to
school
on
a
school
night
the
next
morning
and
that's
noise.
V
That's
going
to
go
directly
to
me
and
and
my
neighbors
there's
no
business
justification
for
it.
The
other
thing
I
can
say
is
you
know.
For
so
many
years,
we've
heard
various
applicants
who
want
a
2am
license,
and
they
say
it's
because
there's
a
late
night
demand,
there
is
no
late
that
might
like
demand.
That's
never
happened,
they're
simply
looking
to
have
licenses
for
resale
for
purposes
of
operating
a
bar
at
some
point
in
the
future.
So.
A
W
I
think
we'd
be
okay
with
this
if
it
was
a
1am
license
and
if
there
was
some
reasonable
understanding
as
to
when
we
get
to
the
entertainment
portion
as
to
what
the
entertainment
would
be.
I
would
echo
john's
comments
that
I
haven't
found
the
applicant
here
to
be
particularly
good
about
reaching
out
to
us
as
president.
I
did
not
get
notification
of
him
of
this
hearing,
as
he
promised,
as
the
lawyer
promised
he
would
do
which
is
frustrating
to
me
when
I
have
to
kind
of
chase
this
sort
of
stuff
down.
W
So
again,
I
understand
it's
tough
time
for
restaurants.
We
don't
have
time
problem
with
things
going
to
all
alcohol,
we're
trying
to
be
cooperative
here.
It's
not
technically
in
bay
village,
but,
as
john
says,
we're
pretty
close
by
and
1am
would
be
fine
for
us
entertainment's
fine
as
long
as
it's
restricted.
So
it's
not
a
endless
bar
operation.

Yes,
good
afternoon,
madam

attorney

Thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity.
This
is
a
transfer
of
ownership.
Staying
at
the
same
location
of
a
so-called
package
store
license
that
filed
bankruptcy
last
july,
apparently
from
my
pure
memory
and
take
that
for
what
it's
worth.
G
The
applicant
corporation
is
newly
formed
for
the
purpose
of
owning
and
operating
this
business.
That's
going
to
revitalize
this
particular
location.
There
is
one
person
involved
in
that
corporation
as
disclosed
in
the
application
filed
with
you,
and
that
is
patel
and
cooper
is
on
the
on
this
call
and
available
for
your
questions.
G
She
is
experienced
in
operating
package
stores.
This
is
not
her
first
foray
into
the
package
door,
business
and
she
is
supported
in
this
particular
business
operation,
with
the
advice
and
consultation
of
a
person
who
has
tremendous
experience
in
the
alcohol
industry
here
in
massachusetts,
and
that
person
is
mike

Mike
is
also
on
the
call
as
well,
and
we
are
looking
for
your
vote
to
approve
the
transfer
of
ownership.
Staying

Krupa
has
a
new
business,
that's
coming
into
here

and
she
has
completely
rebranded
the
operation.
G
There's
a
new
trade
name
to
reflect
that
and
in
fact
the
new
trade
name
is
stated
in
the
application.
Whiskey

substantially
different.
The
focus
of
this
business
will
be
the
sale
of
higher
end
products,
high-end
whiskies
high-end
wines
with
five-star
service,
and
I
think
they
have
been
busy
making
cosmetic
changes
to
this
physical
location.
Upgrading
the
look
so
that
the
customer
experience
once
they
step
through
the
front
door
will
feel
completely
different.
It
will
feel
like
an
upscale

is
being
run.

L
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
shanice
mental
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
The
applicant
was
in
communication
with
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
back
bay.
They
were
in
non-opposition
of
the
proposal.
They
did
ask,
of
course,
that
no
nips
and
singles
be
sold
at
the
premises
with
that.
Given
those
terms,
the
mayor's
office
has
no
concerns
or
questions
and
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
My
name
is
connor
armstrong
from
439
marvel
street
representing
the
neighborhood
association
of
back
bay,
mr
kellerman,
mr
reed
met
with
us
last
month
and
now
agreed
to
not
oppose
this.
However,
with
the
condition
that
they
not
sell
nips,
which
wasn't
something
mr
kelly
mentioned,
we
didn't
ask
tools
that
have
not
sell
singles.
O
That's
actually
been
consistent
to
not
sell
nests,
but
allow
them
sell
singles,
because
some
higher
end
beers
are
actually
pretty
expensive
these
days,
but
not
selling
notes
helps
prevent
alcohols
from
buying
nips
and
drinking
them
in
public
and
discarding
them
in
the
public
and
private
property.
So,
along
with
that
condition
not
so
nips,
then
nab
does
not
oppose.
N
We're
very
excited
about
this
new
upgraded
liquor
store
in
the
neighborhood
and
also
the
fact
that
they're
not
going
to
be
selling
nips,
because
that
is
new
to
this
location
and
there
have
been
problems
at
in
copley
square
across
the
street.
So
we're
we
are,
we
agree
with
nab.
This
is
a
very
we.
They
they
don't
oppose.
We
we
support
this
and
we
do
welcome
them
to
the
neighborhood
under
this
new
new
agreement.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Are.
A
G
Well,
we
want,
as
I
said,
we
want
to
be
good
neighbors.
I
am
stumped,
quite
frankly
with
a
legal
question,
because
it's
coming
out
of
a
bankruptcy
court
and
in
that
cup
that
presents
two
issues
for
us
to
agree
to
that.
I'm
trying
to
not
get
the
applicant
in
the
condition
of
committing
illegalities
and
violating
bankruptcy.
Court
law
from
the
get-go
and
and
the
first
issue
comes
from
the
order
of
the
bankruptcy
court
allowing
the
transfer
as
the
license
existed
on
july
17
the
day
the
bankruptcy
was
filed.

Thank
you
for
having
us
this
afternoon.
Melissa
fetter
is
on
with
me.
This
application
is
a
highly
anticipated
in
the
beacon
hill
community,
as
it
brings
back
a
bookstore
which
folks
in
the
neighborhood
have
been
anxiously
awaiting
for
many
many
many
years,
and
it
will
re
redoif
tool
the
building
which,
for
many
many
years,
housed
the
famous
hungry
eye
restaurant,
which
I'm
sure
the
board
is
quite
familiar
with.
Z
So
it's
on
that
portion
of
charles
street
close
close
to
the
common.
So
the
project
includes
the
complete
rehabilitation
of
the
space,
exterior
interior
and
the
creation
of
a
really
world-class
bookstore,
including
children's
books,
family
reading
groups,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
In
addition,
they
would
like
to
ask
for
a
use
of
a
beer
wine
and
cordial
license
on
this
transfer
for
a
cafe
to
be
located
in
the
bookstore
space.
Z
This
has
been
fully
vetted
with
the
beacon
hill,
civic
association,
zoning
and
licensing
committee.
They
gave
us
their
vote
of
approval
or
not
opposition.
We've
met
and
discussed
with
counselor
box
office
and
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
we're
unaware
of
any
opposition
to
the
application
as
we
come
before
you.
With
regard
to
mrs
fetter's
background,
she
is
a
resident
of
beacon,
hill
she's,
a
u.s
citizen,
obviously
a
resident
of
the
commonwealth.
Z
Her
primary
focus
is
the
bookstore
operations.
She
does
not
have
a
background
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry,
although
she
has
familiarized
herself
with
the
rules
and
rigs
of
the
board
and
the
rules
regarding
service
of
alcohol,
she
will
be
the
manager
of
record
until
a
food
and
beverage
manager
is
identified
and
that
person
will
then
be
brought
before
the
board
for
a
change
of
manager
at
that
time.
So
we're
here
before
you
asking
that
you
allow
miss
fetter
to
be
approved
in
this
kind
of
interim
basis.

This
is
a
similar
action
to
which
the
board
has
agreed
with
some
recent
applications
concerning
restaurants
in
kenmore
square,
at
hotel
commonwealth
and
on
boylston
street,
with
the
max
brenner
restaurant.
In
all
three
cases,
landlords
created
entities
to
capture,
if
you
will
the
license,
while
saving
the
asset
to
transfer
to
a
future
tenant,
and
that's
exactly
what
would
occur
here
in
that
regard.
Z
Mr
marx
who's,
an
executive
of
ws,
who
I
believe
is
with
us,
will
be
in
a
similar
position
to
ms
fetter,
which
is
to
say
there
will
be
no
operation
here
so
his,
although
he's
a
citizen
and
a
resident,
he
has
no
particular
background
other
than
he
represents
the
ownership
and
again
this
will
be
transferred
to
a
new
tenant
with
board
approval,
with
community
access
and
process
and
an
approved
manager
of
record
at
that
time,
and
no
other
changes,
obviously
to
the
license.
It
will
be
vacant
until
we're
allowed
able
to
move
it.

Thank
you,
I'm
adam
the
student
north
end
resident.
I
just
had
a
question
about
this.
Does
this
mean
there's
another
movie
theater
coming
into
this
space
can
can
attorney
quilty
share
that
information,
and-
and
I
guess
my
question
is:
why
does
this
license?
Not
just
reverse
back
to
the
city
apparently
has
some
plans
here,
so
just
if
you
could
share
that
with
them.
That's
my
comment.
Thank.
A
A
This
is
something
very
common
that
we're,
unfortunately,
seeing
as
a
result
of
covet
that
landlords
who
have
the
legal
right
to
purchase
the
license
if
the
entity
ceases
to
operate,
are
seeking
to
hold
it
on
a
temporary
basis,
while
they
identify
new
tenants
again,
it's
unfortunately,
something
we're
seeing
throughout
the
city
and
most
likely
throughout
the
state.
So
at
this
time
the
question
of
the
new
operator
or
the
new
establishment
is
not
before
the
board,
but
when
that
is
identified,
there
will
be
a
new
hearing
before
the
board.
Okay,.

The

met

received

You
should
have
a

Thank
you
for
having
us
here
this.
This
too,
like
the
bookstore,
is
a
very
exciting
situation.
The
balance
patch,
which
is
an
esports
center,
has
been
opened
at
the
open
at
this
location
since
august
of
2017
and
licensed
by
this
board,
with
a
common
vitular
license.
Z
They
have
operated
since
that
time
with
with
absolutely
no
violations,
disturbances
or
any
other
concerns
raised
in
the
surrounding
community
they've,
been,
in
short,
a
very
good
neighbor.
They
seek
to
apply
for
the
cv
malt
and
wine
and
lagoor's
license,
which
formerly
operated
at
the
then
rockland
bank
pavilion.
I
think
the
name's
been
changed
again.
There
will
be
a
new
application
for
that
site.
I
just
would
like
the
board
to
know,
but
this
license
had
to
be
moved
out.
Z
First,
if
you
will-
and
as
I
suggested
to
the
linz-
and
I
know
peter
is
with
us
today-
they're
very
excited
to
hear
when
I
told
them
that
this
license
originated
this
license.
Was
the
harry
m
stevens
license
at
fenway
park
for
probably
75
or
80
years
until
fenway
got
it
all
out
and
transferred
it
out
to
the
pavilion
years
ago?
Z
So
we're
very
happy
to
hear
that
in
the
process
of
getting
ready
for
today,
we've
met
with
councilor
breden,
had
a
very
terrific
meeting,
zoom
meeting
with
she
and
her
staff,
which
went
very
well.
I
believe
and
hope
that
they
will
be
supportive
of
this.
We
spoke
to
mr
isidoro
of
the
austin
civic
association.
Z
I
went
over
the
background
of
them
having
been
approved
by
the
civic
association
in
2017,
and
he
did
not
require
a
meeting
we
did
have
in
a
abutters
meeting
with
ons
at
which
there
was
no
opposition
to
it.
So
I
I
hope,
as
we
arrive
before
you,
we
have
no
opposition
and
plenty
of
support.

As
you
heard
from
the
applicant
we
conducted
in
a
butters
meeting
on
march
9th,
they
provided
a
very
charming
presentation
on
you
know
the
type
of
customers
they
attract
and
the
culture
they
foster
there.
We
don't
think
that
a
liquor
license
would
be
any
concern
to
the
neighborhood.
We
did

AD
As
my
dad
said,
el
burn
service
was
established
in
1944
by
my
grandfather,
elliot
and
great
uncle
bernard,
hence
with
that's
where
you
get
the
name
elbow
and
service
corp
and
we've
been
a
surviving
member
of
this
evolving
community.
Since
that
time,
I
personally
I've
worked
the
location,
since
I
was
seven
years
old.
My
mother
would
drive
me
from
canton
to
boston
every
weekend,
so
I
could
fill
the
cars
up
all
day
and
check
oil.
I
made
10
times
more
tips
than
the
dollar.
AD
My
dad
would
pay
me
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
it
was
great
to
work
alongside
family
in
the
1990s.
My
dad
rebuilt
this
location
and
is
what
you
see
today,
with
a
historically
compliant
one-of-a-kind
train
station
style
canopy,
which
was
installed
to
replicate
the
train
stations
that
used
to
thrive
along
tremont
street.
AD
We
had
to
be
very
open-minded
back
then
working
with
the
historical
society
and
the
city
and
will
continue
that
tradition
of
working
with
boston
and
the
local
community
for
as
long
as
we
are
here
in
order
to
stay
in
business.
This
long,
you
have
to
do
things
the
right
way.
You
have
to
be
fair,
and
just
our
diverse
employee
base
has
mostly
been
with
us
for
years,
and
those
that
have
moved
on
to
work
in
hospitals,
larger
companies
or
going
to
higher
education
still
check
in
with
us
at
the
end
of
each
shift.
AD
Well
without
further
ado.
We
are
here
today
to
ask
obviously
for
the
beer
and
wine
license
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
for
this
license
today
at
the
end
of
each
shift,
when
my
employees
hand
in
a
shift
report,
there's
a
blank
space
and
they
have
their
instructor
whenever
a
customer
asks
for
something
that
we
don't
have,
please
let
us
know,
and
the
one
thing
that's
always
come
it's
been
for
years
has
been
beer
wine
and
in
previous
years
I
never
really
considered
it.
But
now
what
happened
was
over
the
last
few
years.
AD
That
have
this
license
and
with
the
city
and
state
championing
small
businesses,
there's
really
no
better
time
than
to
ask
for
this
license
and
from
the
few
virtual
calls
we've
recently
had
with
the
butters
we've
heard
the
opposition-
and
we
heard
you
certainly
they
were
very
vocal,
but
not
extremely
numerous
for
us
to
say
we
can't
move
forward
with
this.
So
after
the
abortions
meeting
we
went
and
garnered
more
support.
Hopefully
you
got
many
letter
support.
I
know,
hopefully,
there's
a
completely
testify
for
us
today.
AD
The
biggest
issue
we
found
was
we
it's
a
fact
that
the
boston,
comprehensive
treatment
center
is
1.2
miles
away
from
our
location
in
city.
Talk,
that's
a
far
distance,
but
the
fact
is
some
of
the
patients
use
the
mass
ave
train
station
to
get
from
a
train
station
to
the
treatment
center,
but
they
are
not
our
customers
very
few
of
any
ever
approach
our
store
or
loiter
around
our
property.
AD
They
don't
have
the
funds
or
id
to
purchase
age-restricted
products,
okay
and
even
further.
They
most
certainly
do
not
have
a
credit
card
to
match
an
id
which
will
be
required
to
purchase
an
ounce
of
bureau
wine
being
as
unique
a
location
as
we
are.
We
will
have
unique
restrictions
going
above
and
beyond
what
is
required
by
the
city.
AD
I've
heard
massa
have
residents
right
down.
The
street
complain
about
patients
loitering
in
front
of
their
stairs
and
doing
things.
No
one
should
have
to
see
we
installed
the
highest
quality
brightest
lighting
around,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
along
with
24-hour
video
surveillance
and
our
diligence
because
it
starts
with
us.
We
don't
have
people
gathering
norway
to
find
any
paraphernalia
lit
on
our
grounds
what
I
would
suggest
to
the
abutters
who
are
so
against
us.
Because
of
this
reason
it's
really
we
don't
have
any
effect
of
if
to
help
alleviate.
AD
The
issue
then
push
for
more
lighting
on
mass
ave
facing
out
from
your
properties.
It's
just
too
dark
walking
up
that
street
at
night.
So
they
avoid
us,
of
course,
but
they
go
to
the
darker
spots
so
we're
by
no
means
a
negative
catalyst
for
what
happens
around
your
property.
We
would
also
support
any
community
initiative
to
brighten
our
sidewalks.
AD
It's
also
a
fact
that
there
is
a
small
store
west
of
columbus
that
offers
beer
and
wine,
and
we've
heard
from
neighbors
as
far
as
west
springfield,
who
are
even
closer
to
that
location,
that
they
would
rather
be
given
opportunity
for
a
contactless
transaction
and
not
have
to
walk
inside
a
store
to
purchase
their
products.
As
we
all
know,
covet
has
significantly
changed
the
way
we
do
business.
The
way
we
interact
with
people
and
we
really
do
offer
the
best
solution-
and
this
is
obviously
a
major
issue.
Even
though
restrictions
are
lifted.
AD
AD
Our
employees,
even
distance
by
the
thick
glass
still
wear,
masks
and
often
gloves
to
process
transactions.
We've
also
been
asked
about
student
traffic
and
fake
ids
we're
a
half
a
mile
from
northeastern,
I'm
sure.
There's
many
other
package
tours
around
town
that
are
even
closer
to
universities,
but
we're
still
going
to
implement
a
strictly
enforced
policy
for
ids
to
match
a
credit
card,
end
of
a
cash
transaction,
two
forms
of
iid
and,
as
you
can
see
from
our
tobacco
licensing
history,
our
employees
are
well-versed
and
asking
for
identification
and
able
to
say
no.
AD
We
also
have
an
advantage
over
some
walk-in
stores,
because
we
we
have
a
huge
showcase,
we're
seeing
traffic
coming
east
west,
north
south-
oh
really,
north
west
and
east,
but
we
can
see
our
customers
coming
from
50
feet
away
where,
as
the
smaller
stores,
you
have
three
feet
to
walk
in
the
door.
Go
to
the
counter.
We
can
visually
assess
potential
client
behavior
before
they
even
reach
our
window,
and
we
fully
understand
that
the
granting
of
this
license.
It
is
by
no
means
a
forever
license,
will
not
rest
on
laurels.
AD
It's
a
huge
responsibility
to
make
such
a
license
and
will
do
everything
possible
to
maintain
a
seamless
operation,
because
we
fully
understand
the
burden
of
ownership.
It
begins
and
ends
with
us
and
we're
responsible
for
our
property
and
making
sure
everyone
feels
safe,
while
shopping
and
or
filling
up,
you
have
to
run
a
tight
ship
and
what
we
do
is
we
constantly
train
and
retrain
our
employees.
AD
In
fact,
should
you
grant
us
the
license
before
we
sell
an
ounce
of
beer
and
wine
we're
going
to
all
go
through
tips,
training
to
help
spot
ids
miners
people
who
have
already
been
overserved?
I
wouldn't
serve
up
without
going
through
that
process.
First,
as
you
can
tell
if
you
can
hear
from
my
voice,
I
love
what
I
do.
I
want
to
continue
supporting
the
south
end
and
the
environment
is
changing
so
fast.
I
want
to
keep
up
with
it
and
please
help
us
give
us
a
chance
and
believe
in
the
ownership
here.
AD
AD
Yeah
eight
refrigerators
and
oh
full,
so
three
in
the
main
room,
and
then
you
have
five
plus
a
freezer.
So
what
we'll
do
is
right
now
we
have
repetitive
cold
beverages
where
we
have
too
much
of
you,
know
coca-cola
and
water's
all
stacked
up
in
different
fridges.
So
we
have
to
we're
going
to
tighten
that
up,
move
things
over
and
basically
dedicate
for
refrigerator,
refrigerator
beer
and
wine.
I
meant
to
be
around
there
and
whatever
else
is
allowed
under
the
license.
So.
AD
AD
We're
not
really
removing
anything
right
now.
I
have
a
showcase
of
of
household
products-
okay
and
and
tons
of
of
sodas
and
everything
it's
almost
overloaded.
So
what
I'm
gonna
do?
I'm
gonna
really
tighten
it
up
and
put
outside
billboards
and
more
signage
for
items
that
people
that
we
already
have
to
make
more
room
for
the
beer
and
wine
as
well
as
additional
signage.
For
that
also
outside
to
replace
some
aging
signs.
C
AD
We're
going
to
rework
it
and
obviously
it's
a
work
in
progress.
It's
not
just
like
okay,
it's
our
first
day
of
beer
and
wine.
Let's
get
a
huge
delivery.
Let's
see
how
the
community
adapts,
let's
see
what's
requested
because
it's
a
smaller
store.
You
know
there
are
people
who
want
certain
things.
So
what
I
do
like
I
said
we
get.
What
customers
ask
I
adjust
to
the
community
and
I'll
and
it'll
be
kind
of
a
suck
a
jam
one
day
have
everything
I
want
to
be
a
build-up.
I
don't
want
to
overload
anybody.
AD
AD
Sure
you've
probably
never
been
to
our
store,
it's
a.
We
have
giant
glass
windows
and,
across
the
whole
front,
customers
are
not
allowed
in
our
store.
We
have
a
huge
drawer
which
we
have
microphones
on
each
side
and
clear
visibility,
lights
shining
down,
so
a
customer
comes
to
the
window.
Basically
we're
steering
each
other
now
say
what
you
want
check
out,
get
the
id's
make
sure
everything's
right
and
it's
a
push-out
drawer
where
you
can
fit
a
lot
more
than
you
think.
AD
AC
Excuse
me
also:
every
transaction
is
videoed,
so
we
have
full
control.
We
will
watch
our
if
we
are
not
there
physically,
we
are
there.
We
monitor
it
from
our
homes.
We
are
watching
it
on
our
iphones.
We
watch
our
business
24
7.
and
believe
me,
I'm
up
at
one
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
watching
thanks.
A
No
additional
questions.
We
will
now
turn
to
public
testimony.
As
a
reminder,
you
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes.
The
board
does
not
give
additional
weight
to
writ
to
spoken
testimony
than
it
does
written
testimony.
If
your
testimony
is
the
name
of
that
of
an
individual
who
is
already
testified,
please
keep
in
mind
everyone's
time
today,
as
we
still
have
additional
items
on
the
agenda
and
please
simply
state
your
position
and
what
you
reiterate.
If
anything
again,
you
can
also
submit
written
testimony.

Officials
hi
yes
good
afternoon,
madam

members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
kim
crucioli
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
Our
office
held
in
a
butters
meeting
on
april
7th,
where
only
opposition
was
shown
by
our
butters.
U
The
apple
can
also
met
with
the
butters
on
april
20th
to
address
concerns
where
further
opposition
was
shown,
I've
received
11
letters
of
support
in
25
letters
of
opposition,
including
letters
of
opposition
from
the
claremont
neighborhood
association,
as
well
from
as
well
as
from
the
fenway
community
development
corporation.
Although
the
applicants
are
respectful
residents
and
business
owners,
we
feel
that
this
proposal
does
not
fit
in
with
the
area
and
will
cause
unintended
negative
impacts
in
this
area
of
the
south
end.
Thank
you.

you
for
the
opportunity
to

I

In
the
fenway
we
own
the
newcastle
saranac
apartment
building
directly
across
the
street
purchased
about
two
years
ago.
It's
all
affordable
housing.
We
just
finished
rehabbing
it.
Many
of
our
residents
are
opposed
to
this.
We
are
concerned
for
safety
and
alcohol
abuse.
AE
AE
We
are
here
to
say,
frankly,
this
does
nothing
for
the
neighborhood.
There
is
no
need,
as
the
claremont
neighborhood
association
has
pointed
out,
there
are
five
other
take
out
convenience
and
package
places
in
a
short
walk.
This
is
a
very
peculiar
situation.
With
a
gas
station
asking
for
an
alcohol
license
for
beer
and
wine,
there
is
no
need
in
the
neighborhood
it's
redundant.

They

well

shell
station
they've
been
in
compliance
with
all
the

regulations
they
do
it
before
they
have
to.
They
have
scored
very
high
on
the

I'm
coming
out
in
support
of

application.
They've
been
I've
been
there
ten
years
and
they've
been
great
neighbors.
They
keep
a
very
clean
and
well
overrun
site,
and
I
think
it
could
be
a
great
convenience
for
the

being
able

purchase
alcohol.

Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
kristen
scanlon,
representing
the
applicant
licensee,
along
with
barbara
lynch,
who
is
the
owner
and
existing
manager
of
record
of
the
establishment,
we're
currently
seeking
to
upgrade
the
butcher.
Shop's
beer,
wine
and
cordial's
license
to
any
available
all
alcohol
beverages
licensed
at
this
address,
which
is
552
trimont
street
in
the
south.
End
technically,
is
a
roxbury
address
and
if
granted
approval,
they
would
turn
their
existing
license
back
into
the
city.
AG
By
way
of
background,
the
butcher
shop
first
opened
in
2003,
where
they
originally
opened
with
a
beer
and
wine
license
for
the
first
three
years
and
then
in
2006
added
cordials
to
their
license.
Since
that
time,
they
have
been
an
exemplary
licensee
with
no
violations
to
speak
of
and
have
been
a
true
small-scale,
south
end
neighborhood
gem,
it's
a
perfect
place
for
a
glass
of
wine
and
a
small
bite,
a
meal
with
friends
and
to
enjoy
the
neighborhood.
AG
The
menu
highlights
meat
and
produce
from
local
farms
and
vendors,
with
whom
chef
barber
has
built
decades-long
relationships.
For
years.
The
restaurant
has
gotten
creative
with
their
cocktail
offerings
with
what
they
were
allowed
to
serve
under
the
cordial's
license,
but
as
of
late-
and
this
was
very,
this
is
pre-coveted
very
much
since
covid
customers
and
regulars
have
been
asking
for
the
restaurant
to
seek
and
obtain
a
full
alcohol
license
so
that
they
can
begin
to
serve
true
cocktails
martinis,
for
example,
with
limited
size
and
space
at
the
restaurant.
It
only
has
30
seats.
AG
As
far
as
public
need
is
concerned,
a
full
license
at
the
end
of
the
day
does
enhance
the
customer
experience
for
some
people,
as
evidenced
by
the
push
from
especially
loyalists
to
the
restaurant,
requesting
them
to
see
this
upgrade
right.
Now.
Business
is
down
anywhere
between
60
and
70
percent,
even
with
the
outdoor
seating
that
has
been
granted
to
them
in
light
of
the
pandemic
and
they're
really
doing
what
they
can
to
stay
alive
and
thrive
at
this
location.
AG
The
license
would
have
aided,
obviously,
prior
to
coveting
saving
a
customer
that
they
might
otherwise
lose
because
of
the
drink,
offering
restriction
based
on
their
existing
license,
but
it's
now
more
imperative
than
ever,
and
definitely
a
lifeline.
Now
they've
been
a
true
neighborhood
business
that
has
withstood
the
test
of
time
for
nearly
two
decades
in
the
south
end,
based
on
the
quality
and
caliber
of
its
operations
and
offerings,
they've
always
been
a
good
neighbor.
Actually,
in
the
beginning
of
kova,
they
were
the
only
game
in
town,
doing
takeout
for
a
while
other
nearby.
AG
Restaurants
in
the
area
mostly
have
full
alcohol
licenses,
which
this
would
level
the
playing
field
a
bit,
but
also
keeps
a
unique
variety
of
restaurants
serving
in
that
area
complementary
to
one
another
in
the
neighborhood,
and
this
licensee
keeps
this
license
at
this
location
and
or
a
license.
I
should
say
with
a
local,
attentive
and
respected
operator
in
the
neighborhood,
so
the
upgrade
would
only
serve
to
complement
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
won't
change
the
fundamental
business
we
did
meet
with
local
abutters
in
the
8th
streets,
neighborhood
organization,
who
had
no
opposition
to
this
application.
AG
Other
than
that
no
changes
are
proposed
to
the
business.
Seating
remains
the
same.
Barbara
lynch
would
still
be
the
manager
of
record
who
was
previously
approved
by
this
board
in
the
abcc,
and
the
closing
hour
remains
the
same
on
its
face
at
1am,
which
is
more
so
to
cater
to
special
events.
But
the
restaurant
does
habitually
close
between
9
and
11
p.m,
depending
on
the
day
of
the
week,
happy
to
address
any
questions
or
concerns
the
board
might.
