Hi,
yes,
good
morning,
this
is
tiffany

the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
no
one
in
our
office
has
received
any
letters
of
opposition.
This
actually
received
quite
a
lot
of
community
support
at
every
meeting
from
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
public
service
committee,
as
well
as
the

south
huntington

jamaica,
plain
member
of
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
and
chair
of
its
public
service
committee.
We
had
a
neighborhood
hearing
on
this
issue
on
march
8th.
We
think
this
is
a
wonderful
concept.
Everybody
who
came
supported
it.
This
is
a
nice
corner
space
that
used
to
be
a
travel
shop
that
moved
to
another
location
in
jamaica
plain,
and
we
think
this
cafe
catering
to
mothers
and
kids
will
be
a
wonderful
addition
to
this
space.
N
We
urge
you
to
support
that
this.
We
little

had
there
a

people
came
to

in

received
support
and
went
before
the

P

O
F
O
Q
P
H
Good
morning,
madam
of
the
chair,
members
of
the
board,
calderon
from
council
presidents
fling's
office,
the
councillor
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
to
this
application
due
to
lack
of
community
process.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
residents
that
have
concerns
about
at
3
a.m.
Closing
hour
we
recommend
the
board
for
a
denial
and
have
to
have
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
residents.
Thank
you.
O
C
O
Yeah
well,
when
I
spoke
to
our
knit
the
person
from
neighborhood
services,
she
said
that
there
was
no
need
for
a
neighborhood
meeting,
that
there
was
no
opposition.
So
I
I
that's.
Why
I'm
a
little
taken
back
by
that
we
thought
that
we
had
approval
of
all
of
our
neighbors.
So
this
just
taken
by
surprise.
C
H
Yeah
we
we,
there
was
not
a
voters
meeting,
not
never
on
this
proposal
and
there
wasn't
a
meeting
with
the
neighborhood
association
and
there
wasn't
any
any
meeting
with
anybody
that
we
know
in
the
area.
So
I
think,
being
able
for
them
to
go
through
this
process.
They
should
have
a
community
process
so
that
we
know
where
people
are,
and
you
know
we
we
know
there
are
some
concerns
about
a
3am
closing
hour,
but
there
wasn't
a
community
process
for
this
proposal
at
all.
C
Okay,
we
have
had
issues
in
other
neighborhoods
with
3am
closing
hours
for
pizza
places,
specifically,
noise
and
traffic
were
issues
we
will
touch
base
with
you
after
this
meeting
to
figure
out
what
kind
of
process
we
can
have
so
that
we
don't
hold
up
the
application
but
to
make
sure
the
community
is
involved,
there's
been
some
transition
in
the
off
in
the
neighborhood
services
office.
So
that's
probably
a
reflection
of
the
confusion.

T

Everyone,
andrew
upton,
from
upton
canal
in
devlin
for
the
licensee.
These
are
three
vino
volos
in
the
airport.
They
were
closed
for
some
time
during
the
pandemic.
They
have
now
retained
jerry
winston
as
the
manager
for
all
three.
The
reason
we
believe
he's
capable
of
managing
all
three
at
once
is
because
they're
about
a
10-minute
walk
between
them,
so
he's
able
to
spend
plenty
of
time
on
all
the
premises.
T
Jerry
is
an
experienced
operator
he's
been
in
the
food
and
beverage
business,
his
entire
adult
life.
I
believe
he
was
approved
by
the
abcc
as
a
hotel
manager
on
a
license
before,
but
he
is
a
mass
resident
to
us
citizen,
as
I
said,
extensive
experience
and
he's
familiar
with
the
rules
and
regulations.
He
is
on
this
video,
but
he
is
not
getting
appropriate
return
video.
So
I
have
him
on
my
cell
phone
in
case.
You
need
to
verify
that
he
exists.

We
are
before
you
today
seeking
an
amendment
to
the
condition
placed
on
this
license.
I'm
just
a
little
bit
of
background.
Rock
and
rye
operates
the
first
floor,
restaurant
at
the
location
under
a
management
agreement.
The
condition
put
in
place
was
done
so
for
the
previous
owner
when
the
restaurant
was
opened.
As
ghost
walks
a
number
of
years
ago,
18
months
ago,
jairo
and
tyrone
came
into
the
space
and
opened
rock
and
rye.
It
is
a
neighborhood
restaurant
bar.
It
has
over
the
last
18
months.
Y
Opening
during
the
pandemic
been
able
to
build
a
really
great
business.
They
have
great
food,
great
drinks
and
really
are
welcoming
to
the
community.
A
lot
of
their
customers
are
hospital
workers
at
tufts,
other
people
in
the
hospitality
industry,
as
well
as
those
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
when
they
come
in
after
midnight.
Y
Looking
for
something
to
eat,
a
lot
of
them
end
up
going
elsewhere,
specifically
to
places
such
as
fourth
wall
around
the
corner,
genkiyas
down
the
road
nash
bar
as
well,
all
of
which
have
2
am
licenses
and
do
keep
their
kitchens
open
late.
The
goal
of
extending
this
closing
hour
to
allow
for
patrons
off
the
premises
by
2
a.m
is
to
allow
the
kitchen
to
stay
open
as
well,
so
the
customers
will
be
able
to
come
in
and
continue
to
order
food
with
their
beverages.
Y
We
met
with
the
chinatown
safety
committee
on
january
5th,
the
midtown
park
plaza
neighborhood
association
on
january
12th,
chinatown,
neighborhood
association
on
january
18th
and
the
chinatown
residents
association
on
february,
2nd,
as
well
as
held
our
butter
meeting
on
march
21st.
We've
really
been
listening
to
the
community.
A
lot
of
their
concerns
are
centered
around
that
area
being
so
busy
with
the
nightclubs
and
the
other
bars
and
people
filtering
out
onto
the
street
at
that
two
o'clock
hour.
Y
This
was
why
we
proposed
having
everyone
off
the
premises
by
2
am
rather
than
2,
am
and
then
allowing
everybody
off
the
premises
by
230,
which
is
typical
for
the
other
businesses
in
the
area.
The
goal
of
that
was
to
make
sure
that
they
were
not
contributing
to
any
business
on
the
sidewalks
that
their
customers
would
already
be
out
of
the
area
by
the
time
that
those
businesses
at
2am
have
their
closing
hour
and
off-premise
time
requirement.
Y
We
made
sure
that
we
listened
to
all
their
concerns.
We
let
them
know
that
this
business
does
operate
with
separate
ownership
from
the
nightclub.
Upstairs
we
wanted
to
make
it
very
clear
that
the
owners
operate
a
restaurant
bar.
It's
not
a
nightclub
that
doesn't
plan
on
changing
with
this
small
extension
of
hours
to
allow
for
their
customers
to
enjoy
food
and
drinks
a
little
bit
longer.
Y
One
resident
at
the
abutters
meeting
lives
in
the
apartment.
Building
next
door
has
some
concerns
about
parking.
We
let
them
know
that
the
restaurant
doesn't
utilize
any
delivery
services.
So
there's
no
cars
pulling
up
to
pick
up
deliveries
such
as
store
dash,
postmates
or
ubereats.
They
don't
utilize
any
of
those
apps
and
all
of
their
employees.
Y
They've
set
up
sort
of
a
program
with
the
revere
hotel
down
the
road
to
allow
for
their
employees
and
the
owners
to
park
at
a
discounted
rate
when
they
come
into
work
so
that
they're
not
utilizing
any
of
those
street
parking
spaces.
So
they're
really
doing
everything
they
can
to
make
sure
they're
not
contributing
to
any
congestion
on
that
road
right
there,
because
it
is
so
busy,
especially
with
the
hospital
right
nearby
and
so
yep.
We're
just
seeking
to
extend
that
change.

So
in
this
particular
neighborhood
you
know
we're
concerned
about
disbursement
and
how
people
leave,
and
that's
maybe
perhaps
why
there
is
a
staggered
closing
hour.
How
do
you
propose
to
manage
getting
people
off
and
you
know
not
contributing
to
the
crowds
that
gather
when
the
clubs
that
close
at
2
a.m.
Y
Y
Premises
they
plan
on
continuing
to
do
that
so
with
having
everybody
off
the
premises
by
2
a.m.
That
does
mean
making
sure
that
when
those
nightclubs
do
close
at
2
a.m
for
their
disbursement,
you
know
they.
Their
patrons
have
already
left
already
gone
home
at
2
a.m.
There
are
no
other
businesses
for
them
to
go
patronize
at
that
hour,
they've
been
able
to
eat,
and
everything
like
that.
Y
So
the
goal
of
having
everybody
off
by
two
is
for
that
exact
purpose
of
making
sure
that
they're
not
contributing
from
that
2
to
2
30
time.
It
would
be
more
from
that.
You
know,
starting
at
1
45,
to
get
everybody
up
and
out
the
door
so
that
by
2
a.m,
they're
out
of
the
area
when
the
other
businesses
close
and
what
time
does
the
club
upstairs
close?
Y
Y
Y
Yes,
so
the
plan
is
the
kitchen
will
close
between
one
and
one
1
30,
really
just
depending
on
when
those
last
people
trickle
in
and
order.
Food
last
call
also
around
one
o'clock,
one
one
fifteen,
because
to
get
everyone
off
by
two
a.m.
I'm
you
kind
of
have
to
be
wrapping
everything
up
between
1,
30
and
145.
Y
H
Y
Well,
not
if
they
that's
sorry,
if
they're
in
the
restaurant,
it
would
be
1
30,
but
if
they're
coming
in
the
kitchen
and
stuff
is
going
to
be
closing,
it
would
be
earlier
right
now
because
their
last
seating
is
12
15.
They
have
to
let
patrons
know
around
that
same
time,
so
it
would
be
similar
to
that.
So
around
1
15.,
if
you're
coming
in
at
1
15
you'll,
be
told
we
have
to
have
everyone
off
the
premises
by
too.
A
AB
A
G
Good
you
hi
good
morning.
This
is
chula
huang
from
the
office
of
neighbor
services.
The
and
our
buddies
meeting
was
hosted
by
the
owners
office
on
march
21st.
This
applicant
has
met
with
all
note
local
neighborhood
associations.
This
applicant
has
a
support
petition
on
file
this
applicant
did
not
receive,
did
receive
a
letter.
Opposition
from
the
midtown
park
plaza
neighborhood
association.
At
this
time,
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board.
H
Good
morning,
madam
of
the
chair,
members
of
the
war
anna
kaliron
from
council
president
sling's
office
at
this
time,
we
would
like
for
the
war
to
defer
the
votes
on
this
matter
to
have
more
community
process.
As
we
understand
there
are
some
issues
with
the
aba
condo
association.
They
were
not
notified
of
the
abutters
meeting
and
were
not
able
to
attend
the
abotters
meeting.
We
understand
that
the
applicant
has
done
a
good
community
process.
H
Y
Sorry,
thank
you.
Santa
sorry,
ma'am
just
wanted
the
ava
next
door
is
an
apartment
building
we
flyered
at
the
building
the
way
that
we're
required
to
for
the
abutters
meeting.
We
cannot
send
notices
to
every
apartment.
We
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
so
and
we
did
receive
letters
of
support
and
support
from
residents
in
that
building,
so
to
show
that
they
were
aware
of
this
all
happening.
Y
One
resident
did,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know,
attend
the
meeting
for
the
purposes
of
the
parking,
but
we
do
believe
that
we,
you
know,
adequately
fired
and
let
the
building
know
it
is
an
apartment
building
rather
than
a
condo
building
which
doesn't
limit
our
ability.
We
do
rely
then,
on
the
property
management,
when
the
recycle,
when
the
flyer
is
delivered
to
the
building
to
let
the
residents
know.
A
AC
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
good
morning,
danny
board
members,
my
name
is
mary
higgins.
I
represent
the
midtown
park,
plaza
neighborhood
association,
and
we
did
supply
a
lot
of
opposition.
We
did
meet
with
marcy
pasta
and
the
owners
at
a
meeting.
In
january,
there
were
members
of
the
mpp
a
that
did
attend
the
a
butter
meeting
held
in
march
and
after
careful
consideration
that
additional
hour,
there
are
still
crowd
control
issues
down
in
that
area
of
the
city
with
several
hundred
people.
AC
C
AC
To
stay
the
kitchen
being
open
later,
no,
the
members
had
no
issue
with
food
being
able
to
be
served
later
for
folks
coming
in.
I
know
I've
had
email
conversations
with
attorney
costa
on
percentage
of
food
and
alcohol
sales,
and
you
know
currently
now
it's
60
alcohol
sales
versus
40
food,
and
it
was
explained
to
me
that
that
could
be
somewhat
skewed
due
to
the
fact
that
the
alcohol
sales,
it
costs
a
lot
more
money
to
purchase
an
alcoholic
beverage
versus
getting.
AC
And
we
we
reiterate
this.
I
would
like
to
say
that
we
are
consistent,
the
mpp,
a
members
with
the
previous
operator
of
post
walks.
It
is
a
different
operator,
but
they
also
wanted
to
keep
it
at
a
1
a.m.
Closing
as
well,
so
we
are
consistent
with
what
we
voted
on
previously
with
the
previous
operator.

We
were
before

in

and
received
the
overall
licensing
restaurant
licensing
and
opened
in
january.
The
there
are
no
changes
in
this.
That
was
quite
a
blurb,
but
we're
not
seeking
any
change
to
the
interior.
We're
just
seeking
to
add
a
sidewalk
seating,
sidewalk
cafe
essentially
well
in
the
same
footprint
as
a
sidewalk
cafe
under
the
prior
restaurant
bar
balloon,
and
we
had
hoped
to
do
this
all
originally
altogether,
but
just
from
timing
of
of
getting
the
assignment
of
the
city
agreement
regarding
the
sidewalk.
AA
We
we
carved
this
sidewalk
cafe
out
back
in
december
when
we
were
before
you
and
so
today.
We're
just
seeking
to
add
that
back
in
now
that
all
the
paperwork
has
gone
through,
we
have

agreed

A
Boston
premises
consists
of
located
inside
the
building
at

seaport

also
known
as
58,
pier
four
boulevard
on
two
floors
containing
approximately
twenty
six

twenty

square
feet,
approximately
seven
thousand

square
feet
on

area
on

including
dining
and
bar
areas
with
270
seats,
mini
golf
holes,
restrooms
and
offices,
storage,
trash
room
and
employee
lounge
on
upper
level
level.
One
has
two
exits
to
grade
level
level.
A
F
T
T
They
are
many
of
the
proponents,
and
investors
and
developers
came
from
the
flight
club
concept
where
they
learned
to
manage
these
large-scale
entertainment
facilities,
so
they're
experts
in
the
operations
of
these.
This
is
a
approximately
a
13
million
dollar
investment
in
the
facility.
So
they
are
a
substantial
company.
That's
well
capitalized
and
one
thing
to
note
on
the
character:
fitness
is
that
every
facility
they
have
has
a
partnership
with
a
local
charity
where
a
certain
percentage
of
certain
food
items
from
the
menu
are
donated
to
a
local
charity.
T
We
believe
there's
also
public
need
for
this
license
at
this
location.
We've
had
successful
a
butters
meeting
and
a
successful
port
point
neighborhood
association
meeting
in
february.
The
existing
building
is
a
mixed
use.
Building
that's
designed
for
retail
on
the
ground
floor.
On
the
second
floor,
fully
vetted
through
the
development
process
for
traffic
noise
light
and
any
impact
considerations,
there
are
3
000
garage
spaces
in
a
two
block
radius.
So
we
don't
expect
traffic
to
be
an
issue.
T
There
is
no
take
out
food,
so
we
don't
expect
delivery,
app
drivers
to
be
closing
things
to
be
clogging
up
things
further.
The
peak
hours
of
this
as
it
app
appeals
to
a
family,
demographic
corporate
event,
demographic
special
event,
demographic
or
in
the
early
evening.
So
we
don't
expect
late
night
disbursement
to
be
an
issue.

T
Q
Here
we
go
yes,
hello.
This
is
dan
dawson.
I
am
the
vp
of
real
estate
for
putt
shack.
I
think
andrew
hit
on
most
of
the
key
points
for
us,
but
we
are
an
indoor
tech,
enabled
mini
golf
concept,
with
a
very
large
f
b,
offering
we
are
from
the
founders
of
both
topgolf
and
flight
club.
We
have
many
operators
on
our
team
from
both
of
those
two
concepts
plus
others.
So
we
are
extremely
experienced
from
the
operational
standpoint.
Q
We
are
going
to
be
located
at
the
base
of
the
echelon
condo
condominium,
building
at
pier
4
and
seaport
boulevard.
Like
andrew
mentioned,
we
have
four
locations
in
the
uk,
and
two
locations
currently
open
in
the
us
in
atlanta
and
in
suburban
chicago
boston
will
be
our
fourth
location
in
the
u.s.
After
miami
the
the
game
takes
up
about
half
of
our
revenue
and
the
other
half
is
food
and
beverage.
Q
We
really
strive
for
inclusivity,
so
our
food
includes
many
non-gluten
and
vegan
options
and
in
addition
to
the
alcoholic
beverages,
we
have
a
large
selection
of
non-alcoholic
drinks,
both
non-alcoholic
beers
and
mocktails,
and
really
we're
attractive
to
all
markets.
We
we
see
a
lot
of
family
activity,
we
see
a
lot
of
young
adults,
people
you
would
likely
see
throughout
the
seaport
the
25
to
40
year
old
professionals,
and
we
do
significant
corporate
business
as
well
at
our
location.
Q
C
AG
No,
no,
nobody
is
wristband
they're,
also
id
at
the
table
if
in
question,
so
it's
at
eight
o'clock
at

for
the

all
of
which
we
did
with
no

We
had
an

we
also
made
outreach
directly
to
council

whose

X
By
way
of
background,
the
leons
have
owned
and
operated
several
neighborhood
grocery
stores
and
markets
throughout
the
greater
boston
area,
including
foodies
markets
in
the
south
end
since
1998
and
in
south
boston
since
2013.
They
also
previously
had
markets
in
duxbury
and
belmont
that
have
now
since
closed.
X
Similarly
offering
beverages
that
fit
their
market
concept.
The
store
itself
is
a
one-story
building
approximately
5
600
square
feet
with
another
5
600
square
feet
in
the
basement.
For
a
kitchen
for
the
prepared
food
making
and
storage,
the
hours
of
operation
are
currently
sunday.
9
a.m
to
3
p.m
and
tuesday
through
saturday,
9
a.m
to
6
p.m,
and
those
hours
will
remain
the
same
bay.
X
With
that
being
said,
and
as
far
as
public
need
is
concerned,
they
have
several
regular
customers
excited
and
supportive
of
the
proposal,
as
evidenced
by
the
support
petition
that
was
submitted
to
the
board
with
150
plus
signatures
on
it
and
base.
Suites
is
on
the
rare
side
of
market
concepts,
for
not
only
this
particular
neighborhood,
but
the
city
of
boston
as
a
whole,
and
so
a
beer
wine
license
will
ultimately
help
them
to
elevate
and
enhance
their
offerings,
which
is
a
well-respected,
well-run,
beloved
store
that
has
existed
at
this
location
for
two
decades.
X
X
There
are
smaller,
more
local
businesses,
but
those
are
upward
and
over
a
mile
away,
there's
mourinho's
market
in
delhi
at
0.8
miles
away
in
greek
international,
which
I
mentioned
previously
about
a
mile
and
a
half
away.
They've
had
long
time,
employees
at
the
store,
all
whom
will
be
tips
trained
and
certified.
Regarding
the
sale
of
alcohol
from
the
premises
and
as
far
as
community
process
is
concerned,
we
did
meet
with
the
west
roxbury
neighborhood
council
in
december,
who
was
supportive
of
the
application.
X
No
they'll
be
it'll,
be
a
couple
hundred
square
feet.
What
they'll
do
is
take,
maybe
a
row,
a
row
and
a
half
and
dedicate
it
to
wine
and
beer.
But
all
the
remaining
market
items
will
stay
the
same
they'll
just
reconfigure,
what's
front-facing
in
the
store
and
keep
it
in
storage
until
they
need
to
restock
the
shelves
with
those
items.

morning.
W
Attorney
green
great
job
reading,
all
of
that
into
the
record
warning
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
dennis
quilty
representing
the
various
cisco
entities
I
do
want
to
at
the
outset
mention
and
thank
mark
dickerson
and
zach
lucic
and
their
team
at
lawson
and
whiteson,
who
are
mr
harmon's
corporate
attorneys
with
us,
is
jay
harmon.
The
principal
of
the
various
cisco
entities
with
us
as
well
is
nick
mitchell,
the
proposed
manager
of
record
and
joseph
dunn
and
declan
megan
megan
known
to
the
board
as
management
consultants
for
this
this
operation.
W
This
is
a
very,
I
think,
a
very
proud
moment
for
jay
and
the
whole
cisco
team.
As
the
board
is
certainly
aware,
we
have
been
operating
in
a
nearby
location
in
the
seaport
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
seasons.
If
you
will,
as
under
the
one
day
license
program
which
many
of
the
other
brewery-related
entities
operated
under.
W
W
W
So
this
will,
as
we
suggested,
solidify
our
operations,
provide
further
service
to
the
public
in
terms
of
what
we're
able
to
offer
and
other
than
that
continue.
The
same
style
of
operation
with
some
live
music
games
and
other
outdoor
activities,
which
have
been
extremely
popular
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
seasons.
W
So
we
hope,
as
we
appear
before
you
today,
that
we
are
well
supported
in
the
community
and
are
well
known
to
the
board
as
viable
positive
operators,
and
we
certainly
look
forward
to
moving
forward
at
this
location.
Mr
mitchell
is
available,
obviously,
for
your
questions
with
regard
to
his
proposed
position
as
manager
of
record
and
all
of
us,
mr
harman,
mr
john,
mr
megan,
mr
dickenson
are
all
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
C
C
Are
you
a
resident
of
the
commonwealth?
Yes,
do
you
have
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry?
I
do
yes,
and
are
you
familiar
with
the
rules
and
ranks
of
this
board,
the
abcc
and
the
laws
of
the
commonwealth,
as
they
pertain
to
the
sale
and
service
of
alcohol?
I
am
yes,
okay,
I'm
guessing
you'll.
Let
you'll
be
back
before
us
with
an
application
for
a
cv.
License
at
some
point
is
that
right.
W
A
P
Chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
john
romano
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
This
group,
as
they
had
mentioned,
gone
through
our
community
process.
They
had
been
operating
in
the
neighborhood
for
a
few
years
and
have
met
with
the
four
point
neighborhood
association
regarding
this
location
change
with
positivity
from
that
group,
we
defer
to
the
board
for
judgment.
H
B
X
The
proposal
before
you
is
for
a
new
restaurant,
with
a
request
for
a
neighborhood
restricted,
all-alcohol
beverage
license
located
at
building
three
in
a
newly
developed
clipper
ship
wharf
on
lewis
street
in
east
boston
right
on
the
harbor.
There
I'd
like
to
introduce
a
concept
if
I
may
and
then
turn
it
over
to
chef
douglas
in
a
few
moments
for
just
a
couple
of
comments
for
the
board.
But
by
way
of
background
media
is
a
concept
that
originally
began
in
the
south
end
of
boston
in
2016..
X
X
Part
of
their
mission
is
focused
on
community
through
hospitality,
and
you
can
find
them
often
donating
their
time
and
resources
to
non-profit
organizations
like
the
greater
boston
food
bank
and
stepping
stone
foundation,
notably
in
2020
chef
douglas,
was
voted.
A
top
10
best
new
chef
in
america
by
food
and
wine
magazine
he's
also
been
james
beard
foundation,
best
chef
in
the
northeast
semifinalist
and
since
opening
meeta
has
also
won
several
categories
of
best
of
boston,
including
best
pasta
and
top
restaurants
of
boston.
X
The
bar
program
will
focus
on
italian
classics
and
the
wine
will
be
geared
towards
regional,
small
production,
italian
wines.
What
they
do
is
really
try
to
find
ones
that
are
unique
with
great
varietals
that
people
aren't
necessarily
familiar
with,
but
fun
for
them
to
introduce
the
approachable,
new
variety
of
wines.
To
folks
that
visit
the
restaurants.
X
The
restaurant
itself
is
approximately
2
100
square
feet
inside
and
a
little
over
1600
square
feet
outside
with
95
seats
inside
and
with
24
at
a
main
bar
and
a
proposed
60
seats
outside
with
this
location.
They
have
an
incredible
space
on
the
water
which,
of
course,
is
a
great
opportunity
for
waterfront
activation,
as
well
as
their
location
close
to
the
ferry
and
boat
slip
there.
X
X
I'd
hope
that
character
and
fitness
isn't
a
question
to
the
board,
but
as
this
is
a
request
for
a
new
license
and
as
far
as
public
need
is
concerned,
clipper
ship
wharf
is
a
mixed-use
conduit.
Apartment
development
on
boston,
harbor
in
east
boston,
that
consists
of
four
buildings
with
nearly
500
new
residences.
That's
obviously
just
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
proposed
restaurant,
with
hundreds,
more
new
residential
units
in
east
boston
as
a
whole.
X
But
the
media
folks
and
the
industry
as
a
whole
needs
a
little
help
right
now,
in
particular
in
our
neighborhood
restricted
areas
as
a
practitioner
before
this
board.
I
alone
know
of
upwards
of
a
dozen
folks,
currently
interested
or
actively
seeking
a
license
across
neighborhoods
like
east
boston,
jamaica,
plain
and
mission
hill
neighborhoods,
for
which
the
2014
legislation
was
specifically
designed
for
several
restaurants
that
are
true,
small-scale
neighborhood
spots.
X
No
restaurants
currently
exist
in
this
latest
development
area
on
the
east.
Boston
waterfront,
although
I
know
a
few,
are
in
the
works
pending
license
availability,
so
it's
definitely
a
benefit
for
new
residents
in
the
area,
as
well
as
the
surrounding
community
for
a
more
more
cohesive
new
neighborhood
with
within
the
neighborhood,
if
you
will,
and
with
added
amenities
and
dining
options.
Additionally,
only
one
other
italian
restaurant
concept
exists
nearby,
closer
to
maverick
cheese
station,
so
meeta
will
be
adding
variety
and
a
noteworthy
and
award-winning
new
restaurant
to
the
area.
X
That
is
both
approachable
and
affordable.
As
far
as
community
process
is
concerned,
we
did
meet
with
the
maverick
central
neighborhood
association
who
voted
to
support
this
endeavor
as
well
as
held
in
a
butters
meeting
sponsored
by
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
which
was
also
attended
and
received
positively
by
some
new
neighbors
over
there.
I
appreciate
your
time
thus
far
and
if
it's
okay
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
chef
douglas
for
a
few
brief
comments
and,
of
course,
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
The
board
might
have.
AF
Oh,
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
having
me
on
this
call
and
I'm
just
very
excited
to
be
falling
into
a
new
endeavor
and
trying
to
not
just
open
and
be
there
but
be
a
part
as
we've
done
on
the
corner
of
mass
evan
tremont.
As
we've
done
in
newton.
And
while
you
know
there
are
some
restaurants
around
those
locations,
there's
not
enough
and
we
try
to
always
be
ingrained
in
our
neighborhood
and
fall
into
activities
and
things
that
help
not
just
our
own
business
practices.
AF
But
everyone
around
us
and
and
get
bring
energy
and
excitement
and
fun
and
delicious
things,
obviously,
and
world-class
hospitality
to
these
neighborhoods.
And
I'm
just
excited
to
do
that
in
east
boston.
And
I
can't
wait
for
other.
You
know
to
to
come
behind
us
as
well,
but
I
can't
be
more
excited-
and
I
just
thank
you
for
the
time.
C
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
joining
us
today,
I
just
want
to
clarify:
did
you
say
mr
gerber's
already
an
approved
manager
record
by
our
board?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
and
is
this
the
building
right
on
the
water
with
the
condos
above
it
okay,
I
I
think
you've
established
public
need,
I'm
going
to
see
if
there's
any
other
questions
from
the
commissioners.
A
S
W
W
The
public
need,
I
think,
is
it.
It
literally
comes
from
their
experience
and
background
in
the
community
and
their
support
in
the
community
because
of
who
they
are,
how
they
operate
their
businesses
and
what
they've
done
for
the
community
over
the
years
we
have
I
met
with,
and
I
know
they're
present
today,
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
made
outreach
to
district
city
council
lara
to
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
and
we
literally
have
dozens,
if
not
scores
or
hundreds
of
people
anxiously
awaiting
the
opening
and
the
combination
of
these
two
businesses.

vincent
from
district
6
city,
councilor,
kendra
lara's
office,
and
I
just
have
some
quick
remarks
from
council
lara
to
read.
If
that's
all
right,
council
laura's
office
is
in
support
of
the
applicant
bella
haven,
restaurant
group,
the
restaurant
group
was
approved
for
license
in
the
fall,
but
unfortunately
there
were
none
available.
K
Our
office
is
aware
of
significant
support
within
the
community
for
this
applicant
councilor
lara
would
like
to
note
that
the
earlier
iteration
of
this
restaurant
bella
luna
was
a
beloved
community
institution
which
was
forced
to
close
during
the
pandemic.
A
second
chance
for
bella
luna
in
partnership
with
the
haven
is
a
great
win
for
our
small
businesses
and
the
surrounding
community,
many
of
whom
have
memories
of
celebrating
milestones
at
the
old
bella
luna.

huntington

in
jamaica,
plain
member
of
the

neighborhood
council

committee.
We
had
a
neighborhood
hearing
on
this
issue
on
april
6
2021,
at
which
point
very
well
attended
from
the
community
and
everybody
there
was
who
spoke.
Where
was
in
favor.
We
urge
you
to
pass
this
application
to
try
to
reopen
a
institution
at
the
brewery
with
an
outdoor
patio,
seasonal
outdoor
patio
that
closes
at

for
60
seats.

Hi
good
morning,
I'm
michelle
diaz,
I'm
the
commercial
property
manager
for
the
jpg
we're
the
landlord.
I
managed
the
brewery
complex,
we're
an
organization
that's
been
around
for
45
years
and
with
over
100
000
square
feet
of
commercial
spaces,
and
we've
been
very
involved
in
the
community.
I've
been
working
with
jason
waddleton
and
we
are
in
support
of
this
application,
and
we
want
to
express
that
it
is
important
for
bella
haven
to
have
this
liquor
license
and
also
it
is
there's
a
public
need
to
have
a
license
at
this
location.

So,
and
I've
been
also
hearing
from
neighbors
and
residents.
The
space
has
been
vacant
for
a
while
now
and
I've
been
hearing
from
the
neighbors
and
residents.
When
is
the
restaurant
going
to
open
we're
all
excited
to
have
this
restaurant
open
and
we
look
forward
towards
seeing
families
gathering
in
this
beautiful
space?
