Description
The Licensing Board for the City of Boston holds licensed premise inspection hearings on Tuesdays, transactional hearings on Wednesdays and voting hearings on Thursdays weekly pursuant to Governor Charles Baker’s executive order (the “Order”) issued March 22, 2020, temporarily modifying certain requirements of the Open Meeting Law (M.G.L. ch. 30A s. 20) due to the ongoing public health crisis due to Covid-19 (coronavirus).
A
Good
afternoon,
this
is
a
hearing
before
the
licensing
board
for
the
city
of
boston.
Today
is
july,
1st
2021.
This
hearing
is
being
conducted
pursuant
to
certain
temporary
amendments
to
the
open
meeting
law.
That
is
what
allows
us
to
meet
virtually
this
hearing
is
being
reported
and
will
be
posted
to
the
city
of
boston's
website,
beginning
with
license
premise:
inspection
hearings,
173
milk
street
inc,
doing
business
as
coogan's
bluff
located
at
171
to

A
Item
three
was
rescheduled
cng,
corp
inc,
doing
business
as
l
street
market
located
at
77
l
street.
The
date
of
the
incident
was
march:
26
2021
illegality,
taking
place
on
premise,
employee,
arrested
for
illegal
drug
sale
and
viola
in
violation
of
mass
general
law,
chapter
138,
section
64.
and
there's
no
degree
at
this
license
premise.

located
at

street.
The
date
of
the
incident
was
may
30th,
2021
overcrowding,
359
house
count
345
capacity
in
violation
of
mass
general
law,
chapter
138,
section
64
in
boards
rules,
1.03,
j,
1.06,
a
and
f
also
failure
to
contain
aisles
in
violation.
A
And
there
has
not
been
a
recent
overcrowding.
This
license
premise.
B
So
I
think
they
made
some
changes.
They
made
some
mitigation,
they
made
efforts
to
to
mitigate
the
issue.
So
for
those
reasons
I
vote
for
a
warning.
B
A
A
Legally,
we
have
to
give
them
six
months
to
cure.
We
will
schedule
a
cancellation
hearing
in
six
months.
We
also
received
a
call
from
someone
who
was
looking
to
go
into
that
space
that
it
sounded
like
they
were
in
discussions
to
lease
the
license
which,
under
mass
general
law,
is
not
allowable.
So
I
would
recommend
correspondence
to
the
licensee
as
well.
Okay,.
B
Transactional
hearings
before
we
move
on,
I
have
a
question.
Yes,
all
right
for
the
suspensions
to
be
held
in
the
band
should
either
of
those
licensees
be
found
in
violation
of
those
incidents
alleged
incidents
again
within
six
months.
They
served
the
one
day
and
then
we
could
also
vote
on
an
additional.
A
Exactly
if
they're
found,
if
there's
another
violation
within
six
months,
they
serve
the
one
day
automatically
and
then
obviously
any
other
additional
additional
disciplinary
action.
The
board
deems
appropriate.

applied
for
a

license
to
be
exercised
above
manager,
andre
chambers,
hours
of
operation,
7
a.m
to
12
a.m,
and
we
did
hear
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
the
board
they.
They
have
now
voiced
their
support
for
this
licensing
to
be
voted
on.
A
B
Like
to
request
that
the
closing
hour
be
moved
to
10
p.m,
for
at
least
the
first
six
months,
I
don't
think
there's
any
other
establishment
in
that
neighborhood
with
a
closing
hour
later
than
10
pm
and
see
how
they
do.
This
neighborhood
has
has
grown
a
lot
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
closing
hour
could
sustain
the
crowds
that
they're
seeing,
and
can
we
also
check
on
the
7
a.m?
Start
I
want
to
make
sure
we
got
that
right.

7

B
I
think
the
attorney
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
adequate
adequately
described
the
public
need
for
these
changes
for
the
additional
capacity
and
for
the
additional
closing
hour.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
vote
to
grant
these
changes
to
support
the
application.
B
This
is
the
second
time
this
application
has
been
before
us.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
it
is
confirmed
for
the
record.
Yes,
we
had.
We
had
more
testimony
at
the
first
hearing,
but
reviewing
that
testimony
or
reviewing
the
testimony
that
was
heard
yesterday.
B
I
feel
that
the
attorney
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
adequately
describes
the
public
need
for
this
type
of
license
in
this.
In
this
location,
I
think
what
they
are
proposing,
as
a
business
model,
is
distinct
from
similar
licenses
in
this
neighborhood.
It's
going
to
be
primarily
a
grocery
store,
offering
options
that
complement
the
food
that's
being
offered,
and
they
are
not
going
to
be
looking
to
compete
with
some
of
the
liquor
stores
in
the
general
vicinity.
B
They
won't
be
selling
large
12
packs
of
beer,
and
they
are
focusing
their
operations
on
wines
that
complement
the
food
and
local
craft
and
brews
and
beers.
So,
for
all
of
those
reasons,
I
vote
to
support
this
application
for
license
at
this
location.
D
Yeah,
I
I
agree
with
for
sure.

The

B
I
think
the
applicant
adequately
described
public
need
for
this
type
of
license
in
this
location.
It's
been
an
operation
since
december
2019
and
described
how
the
addition
of
this
type
of
license
will
be
supported
in
this
area.
So
for
those
reasons,
I
vote
to
support
this.
B
I
think
again
the
applicant
describes
the
need
public
need
for
this
type
of
license
at
this
location.
This
is
her
second
location.
She
has
successfully
operated
in
another
neighborhood
in
the
city
for
the
last
two
years.
This
is
a
unique
menu
concept
for
this
part
of
dorchester,
and
I
think
that
this
type
of
license
will
enhance
the
will
enhance
the
neighborhood
and
will
enhance
the
experience
of
this
restaurant.
So,
for
those
reasons
I
vote
to
support.

This
was
deferred
from
the
may
26
hearing
pending
completion
of
the
community
process,
and
the
board
has
received
a
letter
of
non-opposition
from
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
backpack.
B
A
A
B
I
mean
they
can
come
back
if
they
would
like
to,
but
I
think
I
remember
this
hearing.
There
was
two
such
licenses
in
the
same
neighborhood
around
the
corner
from
each
other
looking
for
beer
and
wine
licenses
and
we
rejected
the
other
one
didn't
find.
We
didn't
find
public
need
for
the
other
one
at
the
time.
So
I
don't
find
public
need
for
another
beer
and
wine
license
in
this
part
of
newbury
street.
A
At
this
time-
and
this
does
not
prevent
them
from
purchasing
a
license
on
the
open
market
and
applying
for
a
transfer
this,
as
with
the
other
one,
it
was
that
there
was
no
public
need
found
for
a
new
license
at
this
location.
For
this
concept,
a
new
license
at
this
location,
yeah.
D
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
concept.
Yeah,
I'm
rejecting
without.
