G
Your

hi
good

my
name
well
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
samantha
anson,
I'm
looking
to
open
a
southern
and
caribbean
restaurant.
We
have
a
event
space
located
on
the
side,
I'm
so
sorry,
my
phone
is
doing
its
own
thing,
but
we
have
an
event
space
located
next
door.
It's
pretty
much
open
to
the
community
for
all
type
of
small
gatherings
or
any
type
of
meetings
or
hosts
for
corporate
events.
We
started
as
a
catering
company,
but
I'm
now
branching
off
into
a
brick
and
mortar.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
So
right
now
is
the
catering
company
next
door
next
door
to
this
proposed
location
or
I'm
just
confused
you're
talking.
Is
it
that
you're
gonna
have
a
function
room
in
addition
to
the
restaurant,
or
are
you
moving
next
door
to
a
place
that
you
already
have
a
business?
Oh
you're,
on
you're
on
mute?
I'm
sorry.
G
They
don't
hear
me,
I
can
hear
you
now:
yeah,
okay,
my
apologies,
so
yeah
it'll
be
open
for,
like
tastings
catering
clients
who
do
want
to
do
like
private
dinners
and
also
for
like
just
community
functions
and
just
things
to
like
kind
of
open
it
for
small
businesses.
B
B
G
Yeah,
so
it's
just
for
bookings
only
like
we
will,
as
time
goes
on
open
it
to
the
public,
but
with
covet
it's
more
kind
of
restricted
and
kind
of
like
smaller
intimate
gatherings,
and
we
will
kind
of
take
off
for
seven
o'clock
later
on.
We
did
adjust
the
hours
to
11
o'clock
just
to
make
it
more
convenient
for
the
staff
starting
okay.
G
So,
for
the
first
floor,
it's
just
going
to
be
takeout,
so
we're
just
going
to
have
customers
coming
in
taking
out
and
delivery
upstairs
when
I
would
say
capacity
now
we
have
it
at
25.
So
no
more
than
that
tables
and
chairs
wise.
I
This
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
the
board,
my
name
is
george
quinn
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
Earlier
this
month,
ms
hanson
attended
the
physical
civic
association.
She
received
unanimous
support
from
the
community,
so
at
this
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
the
cv
license.
Thank
you.
A
B
A
B
Santos,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Can
you
describe
for
you're
looking
to
change
the
hours
from
9
to
1
a.m?.
J
Okay,
just
because
the
winter
is
coming
based
on
feedback
for
our
customers
and
researchers
that
we've
been
doing
on
now
in
this
uncertain
on
these
types
of
coffee
for
restaurants.
That
sales
are
down
and
everything
we're
trying
to
extend
our
hours
to
see.
If
we
can
increase
sales
that
keep
the
business
floating
because
we
have
most
customers
they
like
to
order
from
over
eat
door
dash,
and
they
would
like
to
us
to
keep
as
late
as
we
can,
because,
because
the.
B
B
J
Right
now
for
safety,
we're
not
we're
not
having
dining.
Even
we
can't
do
it,
but
we
don't
want
to
do
it
just
to
keep
our
customers
safe.
You
know
just.
C
B
M
Good

madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lindsay.
Santana
from
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
for
this
proposal
august
31st.
The
applicant
received
the
support
from
the
butters
in
the
jamaica,
plain
public
service
committee.
At
this
time
we
would

and
support
for
this
application.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
testify
regarding
this
application.
N
N
We
had
a
virtual
public
community
hearing
on
this
issue
on
september
8th
of
this
year
and
several
people
neighbors
came
by
mr
delos
santos,
properly
expressed
the
public
need
for
this
change.
He's
been
in
business
here
for
three
years
and
there's
been
a
business
similar
business
here
under
different
names,
since
at
least
2006.
N
neighbors,
who
came
were
evenly
split
for
and
against.
The
concerns
were
that
late
night
hours
might
cause
double
parking
or
noise
issues.
Mr
delos
santos
was
very
receptive
to
all
neighbors
concerns
promised
to
fix
any
problems
right
away,
shared
his
cell
phone
with
the
neighbors
to
allow
it
and
the
public
service
committee
and
the
neighborhood
council
would
like
to
be
in
support
of
this
application.

Chris
elsie
is
the
applicant
present.
B
Good
afternoon,
can
you
please
tell
the
board
what
you're
proposing.
O
Yeah
so
we're
proposing
a
it's:
a
hostile
style,
hotel
living
arrangement,
actually
pod
style
at
188
high
street.
Currently,
there's
a
vacant
parking
lot
there
and
we're
proposing
a
14
story.
Hotel
the
previous
property
owner
had
already
received
zoning
approvals,
so
we're
basically
staying
within
that
building.
Envelope
kind
of
the
different
thing
is:
what
we're
proposing
is
this
capsule
style
hotel?
The
previous
owner
had
proposed
just
a
50
key,
traditional
hotel
and
so
we're
looking
the
reason
we're
wanting
to
pursue
this
pod
style
hotel
is
to
provide
affordability
in
the
marketplace.
O
Currently,
we
feel
like
downtown
boston.
The
average
room
rate
for
a
night
stay
before
kovid
was
265
dollars
a
night
and
so
that's
kind
of
an
exclusive
view.
Only
a
certain
echelon
of
people
can
afford
265
dollars
a
night,
and
so
we
are
proposing
this
pod
style
arrangement,
which
is
basically
like
a
private,
hostile,
bunk
room
bed
and
we're
looking
at
for
those
at
about
65
a
night,
and
so
that's
why
our
occupancy?
The
number
of
people
at
this
hotel
went
from.
O
Well,
if
you
figure
it's
a
50
key
hotel
and
there's
two
people
staying
per
room.
That's
about
a
hundred
and
we
basically
effectively
doubled
that
with
this
pod
style
layout
to
200
people.
O
But
if
you
look
at
it,
you
know
if
been
able
to
make
the
numbers
work
if
I've
got
an
average
room
night
of
265
dollars,
and
I
divide
that
by
four
I'm
about
at
65
dollars
a
night,
and
so
that's
where
50
times
4.
O
That
could
predominantly
be
younger.
Folks
or
you
know
anyone
else,
and
we
feel
like
there's
a
a
segment
of
the
population
that
they
just
want
a
clean,
safe
place
to
sleep
at
night,
and
then
they
will
go
and
use
the
cost
savings
they
have
out
on
the
great
things
that
boston
has
to
offer:
restaurants,
dining
entertainment,
etc.
O
A
I
I
think,
mr
elsie,
if
you
make
sure
that
you've
submitted
the
plans,
it'll
be
provided
to
the
chairwoman
and
the
commissioners,
and
they
can
review.
O
A
And
this
is
based
on
the
application
that
you
filed
so
we'll
we'll
be
sure
to
review
any
plans
that
have
been
submitted.
O
B
O
B
Okay,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
This
is
just
this
is
an
in-holder
no
liquor
license,
but
it's
described
the
14th
floor
is
going
to
have
is
described
as
a
common
bar
and
lounge
area.
Could
you
elaborate
on
that.
O
A
O
B
You
would
have
to
go
through
the
community
process
again.
So
in
a
few
words,
could
you
just
describe
for
me
what
pod
style
hotel
is.
O
O
Oh
into
the
individual
into
the
pod
style
unit,
well,
yeah,
there's
there's
controlled
access
from
the
elevator
up
into
the
rest
of
the
building
and
then
each
one
of
these
pod
rooms
has
its
own
fl,
basically
separate
independent,
lock.
That
goes
to
that
pod
style
room
and
then
there
would
be
an
individual
key
basically
into
that
particular
pod.
A
Right,
if
they're,
your
woman,
joyce
commissioners,
do
you
have
any
additional
questions.
A
P
Madam
chairwoman,
members
of
the
board,
this
is
john
romano
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
on
october
20th,
the
applicant
had
presented
from
the
wharf
district
council
and
the
proposal
plan
generated
concerns
and
after
lengthy
discussion,
they
had
voted
to
not
support,
and
we
would
like
to
also
go
on
record
of
not
supporting
the
project
as
well.
F
One
of
the
chair
members
of
the
board
anna
calderon
from
councillor
fling's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
long
record
in
opposition
to
this
proposal.
We
heard
back
from
neighbors
supporters
and
the
wife
district
council
who
has
major
concerns
on
this
proposal.
Therefore,
we
would
like
to
oppose.
Thank
you.
A
Q
I
am
good
afternoon
executive
secretary,
madam
chair
and
commissioner
joe
devlin
for
the
applicant
before
you
bar
taco,
four
point
llc.
What
I'm
going
to
describe
also
applies
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
The
barcelona
wine
bar,
which
the
these
two
entities
or
concepts,
have
common
ownership.
Q
This
affects
location
at
25,
time,
thompson,
place
for
bartaco
and
barcelona's
525
tremont
street.
We
have
a
change
of
ownership
interest
in
the
upper
tier
ownership
and
a
subsequent
change
of
officers.
This
one
is
actually
a
little
unique
in
the
change
of
officers
is
that
some
officers
are
coming
back
from
a
prior
ownership
group.
It's
actually,
the
co-founder
is
actually
coming
back
as
the
ceo.
Q
This
restaurant
concept
and
a
number
of
others
were
owned
by
the
publicly
held
del
frisco
restaurant
group,
which
was
acquired
through
merger
by
a
large
equity
fund
called
el
catterton.
It's
a
fund.
That's
got
over
15
billion
dollars
in
equity
investment
under
management
in
including
I
it's
over
20
restaurant
chains.
Essentially,
they
invest
and
purchase.
You
know
kind
of
unique
growing
concepts
and
and
then
they
provide
them
the
capital
to
expand,
which
is
the
intention
here.
I
think
after
we
get
out
of
this
mess,
you'll
see
expansion
of
this.
Q
These
concepts,
the
the
company,
one
of
the
the
the
the
the
end,
the
concepts
that
the
new
ownership
entity
owns
is
anthony's
coal,
fire
pizza,
so
they've
been
vetted
and
approved
here
in
massachusetts
and
again
anthony's
cool
fire
pizza
is
another
type
of
these
fast
growing
or
they
were
fast
growing
restaurant
concepts
that
that
needs
the
capital
that
this
company
can
provide.
Q
The
the
total
purchase
price
was
a
little
north
of
646
million
dollars.
It
occurred
through
some
shareholder
payouts,
so
they
had
to
pay
and
buy
shares
of
the
publicly
traded
company.
They
assumed
some
debt
of
the
publicly
traded
company
because
it's
the
same,
you
know
lower
tier
entities.
The
debt
was
in
that
name
and
they
assumed
and
agreed
that
they
would
pay
that
off,
and
then
they
did
some
debt
restructuring
or
payoff
through
a
new
loan.
All
is
detailed
in
section
seven
of
the
application
with
regards
to
the
officers
bill.
Q
Martens
is
a
existing
officer.
That's
been
previously
approved.
Actually,
scott
lawton
and
matthew
wilbur,
who
are
the
two
putting
quotes
up.
New
officers
were
also
previously
approved,
honor
about
2012
in
the
original
ownership
group
of
bar
taco
and
barcelona.
Wine
bar
scott
lawton
is
actually
the
founder,
and
the
original
ceo
of
this
concept
and
matthew
wilder
was
one
of
the
original
officers.
Excuse
me
so
they've
all
been
vetted
and
approved
by
both
the
city
of
boston
and
and
the
state
abcc.
Q
That's
all
I
have
to
say
about
nothing's
changing
I
mean
I
still
deal
with
the
same
licensing
compliance
department.
I
mean
there
have
been
changes,
but
they're
covid
related
not
not
related
to
this
transaction.
So
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
F
A
The
board
will
take
these
two
matters
under
advisement
calling
chsp,
trs
boston,
2,
llc,
doing
business
as
hyatt
regency
boston
located
at
juan
avenue.
Gay
lafayette,
holder
of
an
in-holder
alcoholic
beverage
license,
has
petitioned
for
a
change
of
officers,
directors
and
a
change
of
ownership.
Interest
attorney,
devlin.
Q
Yes,
thank
you.
I
represent
chsp
trs,
boston,
2
llc.
These
things,
I
think,
are
going
down
in
descending
order
of
level
of
complexity.
This
is
along
the
same
lines
as
the
prior
agenda
items
I
just
spoke
of,
except
that
we've
got
two
publicly
traded
entities
that
have
merged
two
hotel
chains.
Q
You
know
merging
to
become,
or
hotel
owners
emerging
to
become
bigger
hotel
owners
which
affects
two
locations
here
that
was
owned
by
this
chesapeake
lodging
trust,
which
was
a
publicly
traded
real
estate,
investment
trust
one
here
in
boston
and
one
in
newton.
You
know
it
has
a
resulting
officer
change.
These
officers
have
all
been
vetted
and
approved
in
massachusetts
before
you
know,
they're
all
actually
have
some
some.
Q
They
were
part
of
hilton's
officer
group
a
number
of
years
ago,
so
it's
greg
nomora
actually
is
the
the
general
manager
he
was.
The
general
manager
under
chesapeake
he's
the
general
manager
now
he's
actually
on
the
this
call
not
sure.
I
can't
remember
why
I
asked
him,
but
it
certainly
shows
that
there's
continuity
here
he's
the
approved,
currently
approved
manager
of
record.
Q
I
don't
typically
ask
the
general
managers
to
come
in
these,
though
so
there's
this
deal
was
2.45
billion
dollars,
which
was
a

they're
two

a
lot
of

stayed
the

They
had
the

goes

involved

it's
a
pretty
involved

where
they
do
vet
the

involved

again
here,
there's
no
change
in

Honestly,
I

I

B
R

Okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
you
four
questions.
We
ask
any
manager
a
record.
Are
you
a
citizen?
I
am.
Are
you
a
resident
of
the
commonwealth?
I
am
yes
are
you?
Do
you
have
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry.
R
I
am
yes,
I
also
held
a
previous
manager
of
record
for
the
w
hotel,
which
I
opened
up
in
2009.
So,
okay,
I
have
history
in
the
city
as
well.
B
A
Thank
you
attorney
devlin.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
testify
regarding
this
application?
I
begin
with
elected
officials
or
their
representatives.
A
Seeing
no
one,
the
board
will
take
this
matter
under
advisement
calling
los
arrieros
restaurant
inc,
doing

to

Wine
and
malt
beverages
with
liqueur's
license
has
petitioned
for
a
change
of
officer
director
and
a
change
of
stock
interest.
Lastly,
his
petition
to
change
the
manager
of
the
licensed
president
premise
from
edgar
ospina
to
antonio
ospina
attorney
andrew
upton
attorney.
S
Good
afternoon
good
afternoon,
everyone
andrew
upton
for
the
license
c
los
arrieros-
is
a
colombian
restaurant
in
east
boston.
That's
been
in
operation
for
25
years,
it's
owned
by
the
ospina
family
in
recent
years,
one
of
the
three
brothers
passed
away
and
the
brother,
who
is
the
manager
of
record,
moved
back
to
colombia,
so
we
are
applying
to
replace
edgar
ospina
with
antonio
ospina,
who
has
worked
in
the
restaurant
since
its
inception.
He
is
a
mass
resident.
S
A
u.s
citizen
he's
very
experienced
in
the
industry
and
he's
is
familiar
with
the
rules
of
the
board,
but
we
would
like
to
move
him
into
being
the
official
manager
of
record
because
the
other
brother
owner
has
died.
Mr
antonio
ospina
has
purchased
some
of
the
shares
of
the
restaurant
owned
by
his
heirs.
S
So
that
is
what
the
change
of
ownership
is.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
reflect
the
correct
numbers
as
they
currently
exist,
so
changing
the
manager
changing
the
ownership,
but
the
restaurant
will
have
absolutely
no
operational
changes
and
will
be
exactly
the
same
as
it
has
run
by
the
same
family
for
the
last
25
years.
B
Thank
you
attorney
upton
for
explaining

you

the

is
on

call,
as
well
as
ms
hawkins
said
earlier,
due

Madam

this

full
community
process
last
spring,
including
an
on-site,
a
butters
meeting,
a
notification
to
the
local

we'd
like
to
go

great
community

Thank

AA
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
ryan
gazda
from
mcdermott
quilty
miller,
on
behalf
of
flagship
restaurant
group
llc,
which
operates
the
restaurant
for
chella
at
33
north
square.
I
believe,
shannon
mcgowan,
who's,
the
owner
and
manager
of
record
is
also
on
the
call
with
us
today.
AA
The
licensee
is
applying
for
an
alteration
of
premise,
as
leslie
had
mentioned,
to
expand
the
interior
footprint
of
the
restaurant
by
approximately
275
square
feet
into
the
adjacent
space
right
next
door
at
37
north
square.
This
is
space
that
has
been
previously
sitting
unused
in
vacant
for
nearly
20
years.
The
current
restaurant
space
now
as
it
sits,
is
about
400
square
feet
and
had
a
pre-covered
capacity
of
about
28
patrons.
AA
So
it
was
already
a
relatively
small
restaurant,
but
this
has
only
been
reduced
further
down
to
about
12
with
the
need
for
social
distancing
guidelines
during
the
public
health
crisis.
So
the
expansion
is
really
something
that
they're
viewing
as
crucial
to
allow
the
restaurant
to
see
additional
guests
inside
not
only
permanently,
but
especially
as
winter
is
right
around
the
corner
and
they'll
be
losing
the
benefit
of
outdoor
dining
other
than
the
expansion
which
will
give
them
room
for
up
to
12
new
seats.

I
am
also
joined
by
the
owner

manager
of

today,
jennifer
royal.
We
are
before
you
today
with
a
request
to
extend
the
existing
license
premise
from
445
hanover
street
to
the
new
space
at
441..
AB
This
space
is
in
the
same
building
and
immediately
adjacent
to
the
existing
restaurant.
It
will
be
used
as
a
takeout
space.
Only
the
plan
is
to
use
the
existing
connected
kitchen
at
445
to
repair
items
for
the
new
takeout
space.
AB
Until
the
code
crisis
table
had
been
offering
high
well-made
high-quality
food
in
a
family-style
format
at
communal
tables,
like
many
restaurants
throughout
the
city,
they
had
to
shift
their
business
from
solely
on
premise
to
one
that
includes
takeout.
This
shift
has
shown
a
high
demand.
AB
This
shift
showed
a
high
demand
in
the
area
for
table
style
of
food
in
a
takeout
format
and
solidified.
Some
of
the
thoughts
that
the
owner
and
operator
had
prior
to
the
pandemic.
AB
AB
There
will
be
no
change
to
the
existing
table
restaurant
table.
This
application
is
just
to
add
a
dedicated
space
to
serve
the
clear
demand
that
they
have
seen
from
customers
who
prefer
to
take
their
meals
to
go.
We
did
meet
with
the
north
end
waterfront
neighborhood
council
on
july
3rd
and
receive
their
support.
We
appreciate
your
time
in
hearing
this
application

any
questions
you
may
have.

Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
so
you're
extending
next
door
and
in
the
space
next
door.
There's
not
going
to
be
additional
tape,
tables
and
chairs.
It'll
just
be
to
to
do
order
and
wait
for
takeout,
correct,
okay,
and
you
just
to
confirm.
I
did
read
the
that
the
package
you
submitted
to
us
in
the
space
next
door.
B
You
can't
purchase
bottles

correct.
AB
It's
an
extension
of

This
is
basically
you
know,
as
so
many
of
our
small

have
been
having
a
hard
time
given
this

This
is
basically
a
way
to
add
more

and
hopefully
draw
in
a
bigger

So
this
is
just
a
really
simple
menu
change,
no
other
changes
to
any
concept

to

over

meeting.
AE
Witness
austin
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
I
held
a
meeting
for
our
letters
on
october
22nd
with
about
nine
attendees
at
this
time,
we're
not
in
a
position
to
support
this
change.
Giving
the
following,
given
the
following
feedback
from
neighbors
they're
very
concerned
about
the
delivery
of
stocks
blocking
redland
road,
the
red
line
will
intersection,
especially
with
cummins
highway
narrowing
down.
Also
neighbors
are
requesting
a
green
fence
for
the
parking
lot
on
the
ridland
roadside.
AE
We
asked
the
board
to
defer
the
vote
while
the
applicant
engages
the
community
to
address
these
concerns.
Thank
you.
B
Rudy,
just
to
summarize
the
two
issues,
one
is
the
delivery
schedule.
Is
that
what
it
would
be.
V
Well,
the
delivery
situation
we'll
have
to
deal
with.
We
don't
want
to
talk
with
the
truck
driving
range
for
that
not
to
occur.
We
certainly
don't
want
to
block
the
road,
but
it
is
the
intersection
and
I
guess
what
are
they?
I
guess
loading
through
the
corner
door,
probably.
V
We
work
with
it
might
be
possible
to
alleviate
that
there
is
a
second
door
up
which
is
located
directly
in
cummins
highway,
as
opposed
to
the
corner
door,
which
is
literally
at
the
corner
of
cummins.
In
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
name
ringling.
The
other
road.
D
V
V
The
only
other
writings
I
believe
came
up
that
evening
was
a
question
which
was
a
little
odd
about
noise
from
a
pressure
washer
somebody
cleaning
vehicles,
and
we
certainly
would
not
allow
people
to
clean
vehicles
in
our
parking
lot.
That's
just
ridiculous!
So
we'll
deal
with
them.
B
Okay
attorney
chang,
if
your
client
will
would
continue
to
work
with
rooney
to
work
out
those
the
delivery
issues.
The
board
would
appreciate
that.

Restaurant
we've
been
in
business
for
over
23
years,
we're
in
the
same
location.
It
was
founded
by
marina.
Well,
which
is
you
know
the
ceo
pretty
much
we're
just
looking
to
keep
the
same
hours,
we're
just
looking
to
add
just
beer

You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
customers
that
come
in
and
would
like
to
sit
down
and
have
a
glass
of
wine
and
a
glass
of
beer,
nothing
to
extend
hours.
W
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I
know
you
said
it,
but
I
missed
it.
How
long
have
has
this
place
been
in
operation
at
this
location.
B
W

And
how
many
seats
do

We

I

B
Okay,
but
miguel
will
be
the
official
manager
record
for
this
license
and
okay.
One
of
the
questions
we
ask
for
new
licenses
is
public
need,
and
you
explained
that
50
of
your
just
going
off
my
notes,
50
percent
of
your
business
is
dying
in
and
this
is
and
in
this
area
you
think
this
will
add
to
your
to
your
offerings
for

meeting
on
august
18th
for
the

addressing
concerns,
and
the
attendees
showed
strong
support
for
this
proposal,
and
the
proposal
also
received
support
from
the
east
boston
main
streets.
At
this
time
we
have
no
further
questions
and
concerns,
and
our
office
would
like
to
vote
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
AF
And
commissioner,
as
well
secretary,
this
is
dr
perez
from
the
local
community.
The
business
has
been
around
for
over
22
years,
serving
the
local
community
and
is
considered
one
of
the
elite,
as
well
as
the
traditional
business
that
is
currently
serving
the
local
community
of
east
boston.
The
business
has
been
there
for
generations
over
generation.
Actually,
miguel
medina,
who
happens
to
be
in
presence
today
as
well.
Johan
medina
I've
been
working
with
her
grandmother,
will
begin
the
business
and
now
he's
been
passed
down
to
two
generations.
AF
So
the
business
has
served
the
community
for
a
very
long
time
today,
they're
in
front
of
you
asking
for
a
liquor
and
wine
license
in
regards
to
serve
their
customers
a
little
bit
better
right.
So
at
this
point
we
would
like
to
make
an
expression
to
support
this
at
request.
AG
Go
ahead
after
my
name
is
mark
salisbury,
I'm
actually
the
owner
of
the
building
and
have
had
the
good
fortune
of
having
miguel
as
a
tenant.
For,
I
think,
close
to
20
years
now,
miguel
has
been
a
responsible
tenant.
I
go
into
the
property,
it's
always
well
run
clean
spotless.
AH
Anyone
else
who
wishes
afternoon,
dr
defabio-
I
don't
know-
can
you
hear
me
yeah
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
I
am
the
a
butter
to
54
bennington
street,
I'm
located
at
56
bennington
street.
This
is
a
dental
office
that
I
own
and
I've
been
there
for
almost
30
years,
and
there
are
two
apartments
above
my
dental
office.
AH
AH
AH
As
you
know,
having
a
dental
office,
there
are
patients
who
come
into
the
office.
Many
patients
have
complained,
there's
been
difficulty
getting
access
to
my
office,
which
is
right
next
door,
there's
been
a
lot
of
debris,
broken
bottles,
beer
bottle,
liquor,
bottles
that
are
placed
on
my
windows
immediately.
Next
to
the
restaurant
that
I
clean
up
every
day
as
we
speak,
I
need
to
voice
opposition
to
this
petition
because
it's
not
being
managed
properly.
AH
AH
I
understand-
and
this
is
why
I'm
mentioning
it-
I
have
evidence.
I
have
photographic
evidence
to
show
you
my
brother,
who
is
the
building
manager
for
56,
he's
constantly
called
regarding
glass
and
debris
from
our
tenants
who
are
telling
us
what's
going
on
every
night
now.
Can
I
tell
you
if
it's
being
dispensed
now
at
the
restaurant?
I
cannot.
I
can
only
tell
you
the
evidence
we
see,
which
is
the
aftermath
from
people
exiting
the
restaurant.
AH
L
W
W
On
behalf
of
was
what
mr
fabio
was
saying
honestly,
you
know
we've
been
here
for
so
long
and
I've.
Never
we
don't
I
mean
we
don't
have
any
bottles
to
sell.
We
can't
sell
any
bottles,
you
know
our
liquor.
Our
licenses
are
up
to
date,
we're
not
gonna,
you
know,
and
I'm
gonna
say
it's
probably
some
of
the
you
know.
It's
not
us.
Obviously
we
you
know
we
try
to
keep.
As
mark
said,
you
know
we're
very
spotless
with
everything
that
comes
into
the
restaurant.
That
goes
leaves
the
restaurant
and
stuff
like
that.
W
W
AF
Do
like
to
address
if
possible,
I
just
want
to
point
for
the
record
that
the
business
is
located
in
bennington
tree,
which
is
one
of
the
most
circulator
and
busiest
streets
in
east
boston.
Today,
with
industries
there's
actually
four
different
different
bars
and
restaurants
that
do
have
a
liquor
license
that
do
open
late.
One
is
la
terraza
restaurant,
the
other
one
is
the
bohemians
and
the
other
ones
la.
AF
All
located
within
the
vicinity
of
where
currently
the
22
year,
el
pinon,
in
addition
to
this
made
the
record,
reflect
that
in
the
22
years
that
mr
medina
and
his
nephew
as
well,
his
grandmother
been
in
this
operation.
The
record
is
impeccable.
They
have
not
had
violations
towards
this
fact
that
actually
shows
them,
either
being
in
trouble
for
a
simple
violation
of
their
license:
violation
of
hours
patrons
under
the
particular
restaurant.
AF
So
at
this
point
I
do
think
that
there
might
be
a
misconception
of
who
the
bottle
belongs
to,
but
I
do
think
that
responsibly.
The
gentleman
presented
in
front
of
you
today
in
the
hearing
are
responsible
enough
to
handle
the
the
responsibility
of
owning
a
liquor
license
to
distribute
among
their
guests.
T
Thank
you
any
resident
from
east
boston
for
more
than
25
years,
and
I
know
very
well
this
restaurant
and
also
I'm
working
close
to
the
businesses,
especially
in
bennington
street,
because
the
problems
and
the
issues
before
with
the
other
establishments
in
le
pen
for
sure
I
give
my
name-
is
the
best
place
healthy
that
we
can
visit
very
clean
outside
inside,
from
where
you
see
it
and
they
close
at
9
00
p.m.
B
Thank
you,
and
just
for
the
record
in
preparation
for
this
hearing.
We
did
not
find
any
violations
for
at
this
site,
so
just
wanted
to
add
that
for
the
record,
I
have
no
further
questions.
