C
It's
just.
This
is
basically
a
record
keeping
we've.
Never
we've
had
a
lodging
house
license,
we've
had
dormitory
licenses,
but,
as
the
years
have
gone
on,
you
guys
have
refined
how
you
do
your
paperwork
and
we're
just
trying
to
wrap
everything
up.
I
think
we've
applied
for
we
actually
applied
for
this
four
years
ago,
but
we
still
had
some
more
paperwork
to
wrap
up.
It
was
approved
four
years
ago
and
we're
just
trying
to
wrap
up
this
process.
By
getting
this
approved
again
and
getting
our
lodging
house
license,
we
are
fraternity.

Good
afternoon
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
lisa
hi
from
his
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
to
support.
They
spoke
with
the
back
bay
neighborhood
association
and
have
no
issues
as
long
as
they're,
not
making
any
changes
as
to
how
the
building
is
going
to
be
used
and
the
occupancy
etc.
From
their
2016
proposal
that
they
have
presented
to
the
association.
A
F
Elliott
laughter,
sorry,
I
couldn't
find
a
way
to
raise
my
hand,
ellie
laffer
from
neighborhood
association
back
bay,
and
they
did
speak
to
us.
I
think
was
in
and
and
we
did
not
oppose,
then
we've
not
heard
back
from
them,
assuming
that
this
is
the
same
thing
as
it
was
in
2016
and
we
would
take
the
same
position.

A

H
Who's,
probably
yep,

hi,

a
little
bit
about
the
company
itself,
we're
just
we're
looking
to
make
charcuterie
more
accessible
and
convenient
to
the
public,
and
so
a
little
bit
about
the
concept
customers
can
come
in.
They
can
order
ready
to
eat,
ready
to
serve
charcuterie
boxes
to
then
be
taken
off-site
and
consumed
off-site
important.
To
note
we
don't
have
a
full
kitchen.
H
We
will
not
be
doing
any
cooking,
just
preparing
such
as
slicing
meats,
cubing
cheeses,
that
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so
it's
been
communicated
by
inspectional
services
department
of
boston
that
we
will
need
a
cv
license.
That
does
not
require
a
conditional
use
permit
as
a
restaurant
or
take
out
establishment.
A

none
the

will
take
this

Q
L
L
A
L
So
we've
been
dismantling
from
the
lower
mills
area
for
over
30
years.
We've
just
done
extensive
renovations
and
we've
increased
the
size
of
our
restaurant
and
we
are
applying
for
an
alcohol
license
just
to
help
the
increase
of
sales
and
people
dining
into
in
our
restaurant.
It
wasn't
really
a
big
dining
area
in
our
old
establishment
and
we're
just
trying
to
get
people
to
sit
in
and
have
a
pizza
and
a
a
drink.
L
B
L
Sit
down
right
now
is
still
only
probably
about
20
percent.
Okay,
most
of
our
businesses
take
out
in
delivery.
We're
trying
to
get
that
eaten
to
build
up
a
little
more
than
what
it
is.
We've
never
really
had
a
big
eaten
playing.
Tell
it
in
the
evening,
and
that's
kind
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
get
people
to
sit
in
and
have
dinner
there.
B
S
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
patrick
fandale,
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Our
office
has
helped
the
applicant
moved
through
the
previous
zoning
process,
as
well
as
the
licensing
process.
They've
received
full
support
from
their
butters,
including
the
lower
mill
civic
association,
we're
very
excited
to
have
seen
their
reopening
just
recently
and
then
their
pursuance
of
this
liquor
license
will
only
enhance
the
commercial
district
further.
Thank
you.
D
T
T
T
M
B
Additional
questions
yes
and
my
apologies
for
skipping
over
this.
I
think
I
was
reading
that
the
the
agenda
item
above
you,
but
whenever
there's
an
application
for
a
new
license
in
addition
to
the
standard
manager
record
questions,
the
board
looks
to
see
if
there's
a
public
need
for
this
type
of
license
in
this
area
and
public
need
can
be
defined
in
many
different
ways.
So
I
wanted
to
ask
you
brendan
and
patrick
if
you
could
describe
for
the
board
today,
what
the
public
need
is
for
this
type
of
license
at
this
location.
L
Well,
the
public
need
is
like
a
lot
of
people.
I
find
leading
eden
establishment
more
in
the
evening
than
they
would
just
pick
up
and
leave
keeping
people
more
in
the
neighborhood
and
bringing
more
people
into
the
neighborhood
to
see
what
a
great
area
that
lower
mills
is.
Our
delivery
and
not
takeout
is
huge,
and
I
think
you
know
bringing
these
people
that,
instead
of
getting
a
delivery
or
a
take
they'll
bring
them
back
into
the
neighborhood.
I
think
would
be
a
great
thing
for
the
area.
B
U
U
I'm
here
with
and
john
patel
michael
gannon,
the
manager
and
tony
patel
was
also
a
family
member
involved
in
the
business.
If
I
may,
just
give
you
just
a
little
bit
of
background,
this
165
d
street
presently
is
a
a
convenience
store.
It's
been
operated
by
this
business
and
family
since
2003,
but
the
location
for
generations
going
back
has
been
a
a
convenience
store
and
also
a
liquor
store
in
the
past.
U
If
I
may
just
give
you
some
background
on
michael
gannon,
he
he
grew
up
in
the
immediate
area.
The
first
27
years
of
his
life
he's
a
lifelong
south,
boston
residence
when
he
was
honorably
discharged
from
the
marine
corps.
He
owned
and
operated
several
businesses,
including
convenience
stores
and
liquor
stores,
and
in
particular,
this
location
during
his
period
of
time.
So
his
extensive
experience
in
this
type
of
activity
and
they
they're
asking
for
the
the
beer
and
wine
license
to
be
approved.
U
We've
had
community
meetings
and
worked
with
our
elected
officials,
and
we
were
overwhelmingly
supported
this.
This
is
something
that
the
neighbors
have
been
asking
for:
there's
nothing
else
in
the
immediate
area
for
for
wine
and
beer,
so
the
neighbors
kind
of
proactively
were
asking
the
operators
to
do
this
and
they
brought
forth
this
application.
J
B
U
Be
happy
to
do
that,
madam
chairman,
the
chairman
I
did.
I
did
touch
on
it
briefly
that
there
used
to
be
similar
stores
in
the
area,
but
one
by
one
they've,
all
kind
of
gone
under
or
been
converted
to
housing.
So
there's
there's
a
gap
there
and
the
the
neighbors
have
asked
continuously
for
some
type
of
service
with
beer
and
wine.
So
there's
there
seems
to
be
a
need,
as
evidenced
by
the
the
neighborhood
and
the
lack
of
any
establishments
in
the
immediate
area.
