B
B
The
community
growth
partners,
delivery
inc
is
a
part
of
is
a
company
called
community
growth
partners
that
has,
we
have
we're
vertically
integrated
cannabis
company.
In
massachusetts,
we
opened
our
first
retail
location
in
2020
in
great
barrington
massachusetts,
which
is,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
a
vacation
destination
frequented
by
a
lot
of
people
from
boston
and
also
from
new
york
city,
where
I'm
actually
from,
and
we
also
have
a
cultivation,
manufacturing
and
wholesale
delivery
operation
in
northampton
massachusetts.
B
So
both
of
these
locations
are
actually
also
adjacent
to
residential
neighborhoods.
So
when
we,
when
we
opened
the
business
and
started
you
know
permitting
our
first
sites
in
2019,
you
know
we
were
the
first
people
to
do
community
outreach
meetings
like
this
in
the
in
the
communities
where
we
are,
and
so
it
was
new
to
people
and-
and
it
was
you
know,
very
difficult
meetings
for
us
where
people
were
very
upset
about
us
coming
to
town
into
their
residential
neighborhoods
and
and
and
had
a
lot
of
concerns.
B
And
I'm
sorry
would
you
mind
meeting
please
thank
you
and,
and
we've
served
about
a
hundred
thousand
customers
since,
since
we've
opened
our
doors
and
the
one
that
I
can
say
about
the
customers
and
the
kind
of
dispensary
that
we've
designed
is
it
tends
to
attract.
You
know
a
more
affluent,
I
would
say
discerning
kind
of
customer.
B
That
is,
you
know
more
canada,
curious
and
and
that
that's
the
way
that
we've
designed
our
store
is
to
appeal
to
that
that
newer
customer
that
to
and
and
that's
that's
what
really
attracted
me
to
the
industry-
and
you
know
in
in
in
the
early
days.
You
know
when
we
first
opened
the
store
it
was.
You
know
it
was
sort
of
like
what
everybody
hears
about
in
the
news.
B
You
know
lines
out
the
door,
lots
of
people
and
I'll
say
you
know
over
time
it's
normalized
as
more
stores
have
opened,
and
you
know
I
wish
we
had
lines
out
the
door
all
the
time.
But
we
don't
you
know
it's
it's.
It
feels
when
you,
you
know
like
a
normal,
steady
stream
of
people
coming
into
a
store,
just
like
any
other
kind
of
store
it
like
going
to
asop,
you
know
or
blue
mercury
or
places
that
I
like
to
shop
and
so
and
so
just
a
little
bit
about
me.
B
I
have
had
a
very
interesting
career.
I
spent
a
decade
on
wall
street.
I
worked
at
goldman
sachs
for
a
long
time
and
I
spent
some
time
working
in
the
family
real
estate
business.
My
family
has
developed
about
3
million
square
feet
of
all
types
of
real
estate.
We
actually
oh
yeah,
immediately
thanks.
B
We've
developed
3
million
square
feet
of
commercial
residential,
all
kinds
of
real
estate
and
own
and
operate
and
manage
about
500
000
square
feet,
so
we're
we're
buying
this
store
and
developing
it
into
what
I
hope
will
be
a
beautiful
space
that
contributes
positively
to
the
community.
You
know
where
we
opened
our
retail
store
in
great
barrington.
We
became
an
anchor
for
main
street
and
we're
you
know,
part
of
bringing
other
sort
of
elevated
high-end
retail
to
the
community
where
we
were
where
we
are,
and
so
I
hope
to
be.
B
B
So
my
angle
on
economic
development
has
always
been
about
lifting
people
up
with,
as
you
know,
while
you
know
helping
community
prosper
and-
and
that's
something
I
think
is
a
little
bit
different
about
the
way
that
we
have
organized
our
business
community
growth
partners.
It
has
a
very
strong
social
purpose.
B
We've
we've
raised
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
just
in
19
months
of
operations
for
local
community
non-profits,
and
that's
something
that
we,
you
know
you'll
hear
more
about
later
in
our
presentation
that
we'd
like
to
bring
to
the
leather
district
as
well
and
and
another.
We
also
every
single
person
in
our
company
earns
equity
in
the
company.
So
you
know
the
goal
is
to
help
lift
again
everyone
up
with
us
and
bring
prosperity
to
the
community
and
to
all
of
our
employees.
B
D
Sure,
thank
you
charlotte.
Thank
you,
too
ons
for
hosting
us
really
appreciate
the
turnout
excited
to
have
this
meeting
and
looking
forward
to
our
discussion
as
charlotte
mentioned
at
cgp,
I'm
the
vice
president
of
community
growth
partners.
I
met
charlotte
about
four
years
ago
now
going
on
four
years,
and
you
know
it's
been
a
long
road
building
this
business,
but
you
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
successes
along
the
way
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
continuing
that
success
in
boston.
D
You
know
in
those
past
four
years
at
cgp,
as
vice
president,
I've
let
our
business
operations
on
a
daily
basis,
as
well
as
our
business
intelligence
and
technology
strategies
and
prior
to
joining
community
growth
partners.
I
spent
about
13
or
so
years
in
the
technology
sector
in
a
variety
of
roles.
During
that
time
I
pretty
much
worked
exclusively
in
the
financial
district
and
in
seaport.
D
Thank
you
for
meeting
pretty
much
worked
exclusively
in
the
financial
district
and
the
city
port.
So
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
leather
district
neighborhood.
It's
an
area
that
I
frequented
pretty
much
on
a
daily
basis
for
for
years,
I'm
also
a
lifelong
bostonian
resident
myself.
I
like
to
consider
myself
a
generational
bostonian.
D
D
You
know
I
have
a
six-year-old
and
a
five-year-old
that
were
also
born
and
raised
in
the
city,
so
you
know
really
glad
that
they're
able
to
carry
on
that
tradition
as
well-
and
I
say
that
mostly
to
say
you
know-
I
I
fully
understand
as
a
bostonian
the
importance
of
neighborhood
and
community
to
many
people
on
this
call,
and
of
course,
you
know
family
to
many
people
on
this
call.
It's
something
that
I
consider
to
be
of
the
utmost
importance
myself.
D
I
think,
especially
in
regards
to
this
industry,
the
cannabis
industry
and
making
sure
that
companies
you
know
like
ours
are
being
a
positive
contributor
in
the
communities
in
which
they
operate.
So
to
that
end,
as
majority
owner
of
this
future
establishment,
you
know
I'll
personally
be
the
primary
point
of
contact
for
anyone
in
the
neighborhood
for
anyone
in
the
city.
Anyone
that
wants
to
inquire
or
has
any
questions
or
concerns.
B
May
I
may
say
one
more
thing
that
I
forgot
to
mention
marcus
real
quick
before
we
have
brandon,
and
that
is
that
I
personally
really
have
been
looking
for
property
in
the
leather
district
neighborhood
to
purchase
since
2019
when
I
decided
to
get
into
the
business
I
this
is
my
favorite
neighborhood
in
boston,
and
I
mean
that
sincerely
because
it
really
reminds
me
of
home.
It
reminds
me
in
in
it
and
you
know,
walking
around
and
getting
a
feel
for
the
people
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
it
just.
C
E
B
E
B
Where
nahal
is,
you
know,
I
made
an
offer
on
a
place
on
on
beach
street.
You
know
I've.
Just
I've
been
trying
for
a
long
time
in
this
neighborhood.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
interesting
now
that
there
there
I
understand
there
is
another
applicant
here
as
well.
So
it's
you
know
murphy's
law,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
have
a
personal
affinity
for
this
neighborhood
and
this
is
why
we
are
here.
C
Thanks
charlotte
thanks
marcus,
so
my
name
is
brandon
kurtzman,
I'm
a
a
partner
with
the
law,
firm
vicente
cederberg,
I'm
in
our
boston
office.
I
am
also
a
boston
resident
since
2007
I
live
in
back
bay
and
I've
actually
been
very
fortunate
to
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
the
leather
district.
Some
of
my
closest
friends
live
there.
So
you
know,
of
course,
this
is
a
a
state
requirement
from
the
cannabis
chemical
commission.
C
We
want
your
feedback,
you
know
we
want
to
be
a
partner
and
you
know.
Ultimately,
we
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
We,
you
know
one
thing
that
we
didn't
mention.
We
also
have
our
our
our
medical
director,
dr
junon,
who,
if
there
are
any
sort
of
you,
know
medical
related
questions.
She
would
be
happy
to
step
in,
and
you
know,
provide
more
information.
C
You
can
hold
off
on
that
until,
after
the
after
the
presentation.
Also,
I
don't
there's,
there's
close
captioning
available
in
the
the
chat.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
mentioned,
but
if
you
click
on
the
link
you
can
you
can
get
this
closed.
Caption
that
is
one
of
the
state
requirements.
Is
that
you
get
this,
you
know,
have
a
caption
or
provide
closed
captions,
so
without
without
further
ado.
C
Let's
let's
jump
in
here
and
go
through
this
go
through
this
presentation,
so
the
the
proposal.
This
is
what
this
is.
What
charlotte
and
mark
has
talked
about.
You
know
proposing
to
open
an
adult
use,
marijuana,
retail
and
deliver
delivery.
Courier
establishment
at
104
south
street
in
the
leather
district
in
the
first
floor
unit,
this
proposed
hours
of
operation
9
a.m,
to
9
p.m.
C
Monday,
through
sunday,
and
as
charlotte
mentioned,
the
goal
would
be
to
purchase
the
unit
which
we
believe
solidifies
our
commitment
to
the
neighborhood.
We
want
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
you
know
owning
the
owning
the
location
adds.
You
know
as
an
extra
level
of
commitment
and
to
to
what
this
project
is
to
what
this
project
is
about,
and
obviously
that's
a
picture
of
the
exterior
of
104
south.
C
C
You
know
this
is
you
know
this
is
an
I.
This
is
the
floor
plan.
Obviously
you
have
the
front
here.
You
know
check-in
security,
a
large
sales
floor
which
is
important
when
we
talk
about
you
know,
you
know
not
having
lines
up
front.
You
know
we
have
the
ability
to
bring
folks
in
and
queue
inside.
You
know
to
the
extent
that
you
know
there
are
lines.
C
C
It's
welcoming,
and
you
know
you
you
it's
it's
a
it's
a
beautiful
environment,
for
you
know
for
retail
cannabis
sales,
and
so
it
gives
you
an
idea
that
this
is
a
extremely
aesthetically,
pleasing
and
classy
establishment
that
you
know
the
neighborhood
can
can
be
proud
of
and-
and
you
know
not
something
that's
going
to
serve.
As
you
know,
a
blight
or
or
anything
that
would
would
decrease
the
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
surrounding
businesses
and
homes.
C
You
know
these
can
loop
into
the
boston
police
department
system
and
then
during
the
hours
of
operation
we,
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
monitor
the
the
cameras
and
these
in
these
areas
to
discourage
any
loitering
or
nuisance
behaviors.
That
would
that
would
occur,
and
you
know,
if
desired
by
ground,
floor
residents.
You
know
we're
willing
to
fund
the
installation
of
downcast
or
dark
and
dark
sky
compliant
lighting.
It
can
be
motion
activated.
C
You
know
in
order
to
to
deal
with,
you
know
some
of
the
you
know
some
of
the
nuisance
issues
that
I
know
the
the
leather
district
is
dealing
with
or
is
dealing
with,
and
you
know
you
know
was
became
more
of
a
concern
during
covet
as
some
businesses
that
that
were
there
started
to
close
down-
and
there
was
you
know
encampments
of
individuals
in
these
alleys.
So
by
having
an
active,
you
know
an
active
loading
dock,
that's
monitored.
C
We
feel
that
we
can
help.
You
know,
decrease
these
some
of
these
nuisance
issues
and
and
help
contribute
to
the
betterment
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
betterment
of
the
neighborhood
and-
and
you
know,
and
you
know
is-
is
really
going
to
be
a
common
theme
throughout
the
rest
of
this
this
presentation.
C
C
C
Along
the
same
lines,
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
community
knows
that
you
know
there's
this,
isn't
smoking
mirrors
and
that
we're
you
know
we're
actual
human
beings
and
that
we're
you
know
we're
available
to
talk
to
and
address
these
issues
as
they
come
up.
You
know
a
24
7
contact
phone
number
will
be
provided
to
the
police
interested
in
butters
or
nearby
residents,
local
civic
associations
in
the
city,
so
that
the
concerns
are
addressed
in
in
real
time.
C
We're
gonna
have
external
security
personnel
to
ensure
that
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
are
able
to
safely
traverse
the
area
near
the
facility,
and
then
you
know
the
external
security
presence
will
monitor
the
premises
to
protect
against
some
of
the
nuisance.
Concerns
that
you
know
we
mentioned
before
loitering,
you
know
public
consumption,
double
parking
littering
and
really
other
concerns.
Sarah
newson
says
that
you
know
that
the
community,
you
know
the
community-
has
issues
with
again.
You
know
no
public
consumption
is
allowed
on
the
site
or
the
adjacent
areas.
C
That's
that's
state
law
and
we're
committed
to
enforcing
that
state
law
or
or
helping
the
neighborhood
and
the
police
enforce
that.
So,
if,
if
the
community
members
express
that
there
are
areas
of
concern
nearby,
you
know
we're
willing
to
install
additional
surveillance
that
can
be
hooked
up
to
the
you
know:
the
boston
police
department
system,
so
that
you
know
we
could
actively
monitor-
and
you
know,
deal
with
any
type
of
public
consumption
issue
that
that
is
occurring
or
or
you
know,
might
occur.
C
So
anybody
that
knows
anything
about
these
type
of
businesses
that
they're
they're
highly
secure
facilities,
the
the
cannabis
control
commission,
the
regulatory
body
for
marijuana
establishments
in
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
has
extremely
tight
regulations
that
all
of
these
businesses
need
to
comply
with.
So
you
know
you
have
perimeter
security
motion,
sensors
alarms,
video
surveillance.
C
In
addition
to
you
know,
these
security
cameras
being
hooked
up
to
the
the
police
department
and
and
they'll
also
be
24
7
remote
monitoring
of
all
of
the
security
cameras
to
deal.
You
know
to
ensure
that
the
the
the
safety
of
the
facility
and
that
it's
you
know
being
being
viewed
and
being
watched
and
the
issues
are,
you
know
the
issues
are
dealt
with.
C
C
The
the
product
will
be
located
and
locked,
secure,
vaults,
which
is
under
under
video
surveillance,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
only
designated
staff
will
have
access
to
the
vault
where
you
know
with
layered
access
badges.
So
only
you
know
the
employees
that
need
to
be
in
the
bowl
to
get
product
or
bring
product
back,
we'll
have
access
to
those
areas
and-
and
you
know
the
other,
the
other
employees
will
will
not
so
all
in
all
a
very
a
very
secure
facility
to
provide
assurances.
You
know,
given
the
use.
C
So
you
know
a
big
concern
with
you
know
the
cannabis
industry
and
with
the
you
know,
the
cannabis
control
commission
and
you
know
with
ourselves-
is
diversion
prevention,
which
is
you
know,
making
sure
that
that
that
cannabis
does
not
get
to
individuals
that
should
not
have
it.
You
know
particularly
two
miners,
you
know
so
we
you
know
we
can
implement
this,
the
smart,
the
smart
system
to
to
to
address
diversion
prevention.
C
You
know
I
mentioned
this
in
the
previous
slide.
Everything
is
kept
in
a
secure
manner
to
ensure
that
you
know,
there's
not
loose
product
around
the
facility
that
that
someone
can
come
and
take
everything
is
locked
up.
Everything
is
secure
and-
and
everything
is
on
video
surveillance
too,
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know
all
product
is
accounted
for.
C
During
her
introduction,
but
you
know,
cgp
is
committed
to
supporting
local
communities.
You
know
they've
launched
cgp
cares,
which
is
really
at
the
heart
of
everything
that
the
company
does.
It
provides
financial
support
in
real
world
activation,
and
one
part
of
that
is
that
the
retail
teams
receive
20
paid
hours
per
year
of
community
service
to
to
do
for
programs
that
that
matter
to
them
and
and
we're
hopeful
that
you
know
some
of
those
programs
will
be
community
oriented
within
the
leather
district.
C
So,
and
you
know
again
as
well-
I
mentioned
within
just
20
months:
they've
committed
almost
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
collectively
for
organizations
like
roka
volunteers
in
medicine,
global
power
admissions
and
leukemia,
and
lymphomas
and
lymphomas,
and
a
lot
of
that
financial
support
from
the
neighbors
and
the
non-profit
partners
has
been
through
matching
donations
from
the
customers,
and
so
that
really
allows
us.
You
know
to
connect
with
the
customers
and
and
to
to
find
the
the
organizations
and
organizations
and
causes
that
they
care
about,
so
that
we
can.
C
So
you
know
so
so
with
that
you
know,
I,
you
know
that's
sort
of
just
an
overview.
It's
you
know,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
the
the
you
know
the
participation
here
and
we
have
56.
You
know
56
members
of
the
community
or
interested
parties,
and
I'm
sure
folks
have
you
know,
questions
about
the
you
know
the
team,
the
location,
the
the
process-
and
you
know
that's
really
what
this
is
about.
It's
you
know.
C
D
I
just
want
to
jump
in
and
say
one
thing
really
quickly.
Just
based
on
some
of
the
the
chat
I
saw
there
were
some
questions
about
our
current
location,
so
our
rebel
dispensary
right
now
you
can
look
it
up.
It's
783
south
main
street,
that's
in
great
barrington
massachusetts,
zero,
one,
two,
three
zero
and
as
far
as
pictures
and
media,
the
the
google
business
site
has
a
lot
of
that
and
as
far
as
our
northampton
operation,
that
location
is
20
lad.
D
A
No
worries
no
worries.
I
want
to
thank
the
community
group
partners
team
for
the
presentation
and,
as
brandon

will
now

H
Sure
my
name
is
chris
betty.
I
live
at
116,
lincoln
street,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
leather
district,
neighborhood
association.
I
want
to
first
thank
you
for
participating
in
tonight's
meeting
and
and
giving
this
presentation
to
us,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
the
sincerity
and
the
professionalism
of
the
presentation.
H
You
know
my
concern
and
the
issue
that
I
have
is
you
know
this
is
a
new
industry.
It
may
be.
You
know,
five
years
from
now,
seven
years
from
now
we
look
at
it
differently,
but
it
is
a
new
industry
involving
a
very
recently
illegal
product
right
and
as
I'm
listening
to
all
of
the
things
that
you
say,
you're
going
to
do
and
I,
by
the
way
I
do
not
doubt
the
sincerity
of
it
about
you,
know,
issues
about
safety
and
addressing
concerns
that
could
result
from
your
business.
H
I
am
I
come
to
the
conclusion
in
my
head.
Why
in
the
world
is
this
being
proposed
for
a
building
that
is
partly
residential
and
it
just
seems
to
me
such
an
awful
and
you
know
no
disrespect
to
anybody,
but
it
seems
like,
and
it
may
be
a
good
location
for
your
business,
but
it
seems
to
me
like
an
awful
mismatch
of
uses,
and
I
know
we
have
a
mixed-use
neighborhood,
but
they're
they're.
This
is
not
a
good
spot
for
this
particular
business.
H
For
all
of
the
reasons
you
say,
you're
going
to
do
things
to
prevent
problems.
You
know
this
is
a
building
where
you
know,
there's
a
10
year
old
kid
who
lives
up
the
stairs
and
who
actually
plays
with
my
son
and
and
who
I
know
is
a
nice
young
man
and
you
know
I
I
think
that
he
shouldn't
be
confronted
as
he's
walking
out
of
his
building
with
the
potential
of
someone
smoking
pot
on
his
stoop,
and
I
so
I
know
the
building
from
the
folks.
H
I've
heard
from
in
the
building
are
not
supportive
of
this,
and
you
know
my
inclination
always
is
to
stand
with
my
neighbors
and
if
my
neighbors,
you
know,
aren't
supportive
of
something
if
you,
if
you
haven't
convinced
the
people
who
live
there,
to
support
it,
you're
gonna
have
a
hard
time
convincing
me.
So
I
mean
you
know.
I'm
gonna
try
to
keep
an
open
mind,
but
I
just
think
that
this
is
a
really
really
bad
location,
maybe
not
for
your
business,
but
a
really
bad
location
of
intersecting
residential,
including
children
with
your
business.
H
C
Thanks,
chris
and
and
and
thanks
for
joining,
you
know,
I
guess
you
know
at
the
outset.
The
you
know,
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
is
is
to
open
the
dialogue.
So
we
can,
you
know,
begin
to
try
to
to
convince
the
the
neighborhood
that
you
know
this.
This
isn't
a
a
bad
business
for
for
the
neighborhood.
C
You
know
by
by
state
law
massachusetts,
the
city
of
boston
is
required
to
have
52,
you
know
52
cannabis,
dispensary
locations
and,
and
so,
as
a
result,
it's
inevitable
that
you
know
some
of
the
locations
are
going
to
end
up
in
mixed
use
in
mixed-use
residences,
and
so
I
I
think
that
you
know.
When
are
you.
H
C
And
you
know
you
know,
I
think
that
we
could.
You
know
we
could
debate
that.
You
know
the
reality
of
the
situation.
Is
that
the
way
that
you
know
the
boston?
You
know
the
boston,
zoning
works
and
and
when
you
have
a
half
mile
you
know
you,
you
have
a
half
mile
buffer
requirement
and-
and
you
know
and
groups
are,
are
you
know
meant
to
you
know
you
know
meant
to
look
for
locations
that
that
work?
You
know
oftentimes,
they
they'll
end
up
in.
C
You
know
in
mixed-use,
mixed-use,
neighborhoods
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know
you
know
where
you
know
where
you,
where
you're
always
gonna,
have
you
know
individuals
and
groups
that
feel
that
the
the
location
you
know
may
not
be
good
for
the
community.
I
I
think
there
are
also
folks
that
that
believe
believe
the
opposite,
and
and
that
there
is,
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
that
can
come
from.
C
You
know,
transforming
a
otherwise
unused
storefront
to
providing
more
to
security,
to
the
neighborhood,
more
foot
traffic
to
the
neighborhood.
When,
when
you
have
a
you
know,
cannabis,
that's
been
legalized
in
massachusetts
and
and
and
people
are,
are
doing
it
and
you
have
an
unregulated
and
you
know,
market
that
that
still
persists
right
to
know
that
you,
you
have
a
business
that
is
regulated
and
compliant
and
is
working
with
the
community
you
know
can
can
should
provide
assurances
that
that
you
know
this
is
the
you
know.
B
B
I
think
there
are
only
eight
dispensaries
open
in
the
city,
but
but
so
I
you
know,
I
can
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
who
our
customer
is
and
why
our
customer
and
the
customer
that
we
attract
is
different,
and
so,
if
there
were
to
be
one
dispensary
in
this
neighborhood,
you
know
it's
probably
you
know
I
I
believe
our
dispensary
would
be
the
best
fit
and
now
for
the
following
reasons.
You
know
most
of
our
customers
have
white
collar
jobs.
B
They
are
like
me
and
marcus,
and
most
of
the
people
that
run
our
business
parents
themselves.
I
have
a
13
year
old
and
a
17
year
old
son,
my
17
year
old,
is
in
a
program.
You
know
pre-college
program
right
now
for
the
summer,
and
I
mean
I'm
raising
great
kids,
I'm
a
cannabis
consumer.
Sometimes
I
choose,
you
know
to
have
an
edible
or
a
tincture
before
bed.
Instead
of
a
glass
of
wine,
I'm
not
a
drug
addict,
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
like
me.
B
That
is
what
got
me
into
the
industry,
and
so
you
know
people
the
people
that
come
to
our
store
are
not
the
kind
of
people
that
want
to
be
sitting
on
a
stoop
smoking.
I
don't
I
don't
do
that,
and
and-
and
I
think
the
data
that
marcus
was
telling
you
about
that.
We
collect
about
our
customers
and
our
transactions
on
an
aggregate
level
support
that
we
over
index
on
edibles.
B
I'm
so
great
thanks
for
sharing,
so
they
over
index
on
edibles,
tinctures
and
non-smoking.
You
know
less
conspicuous,
more
socially
acceptable
forms
and
that's
what
got
me
into
the
industry
is,
you
know,
trying
to
help
change
people's
hearts
and
minds
about
this,
and-
and
I
think
we
attract
that
type
of
customer.
H
Excuse
me,
I
want
to
be
very,
very
clear
about
what
I
said
I
did
not.
I
spoke
specifically
about
a
building
that
is
residential
right,
so
it's
a
big
difference
between
just
being
in
a
neighborhood
that
is
mixed
use.
It
has
some
commercial
and
has
some
residential
and
you're
in
some
other
location,
I'll
get.
F
H
That,
but
with
respect
to
this
particular
location,
you
know
you're,
asking
people
and
again
I
do
not
doubt
your
sincerity.
Nor
do
I
doubt
even
your
your
belief
that
you're
you're
going
to
change.
You
know
the
view
of
this,
but
I'm
you're
asking
me
and
other
folks
on
this
line
to
take
a
risk
on
a
new
business
right,
a
new
business.
We
don't
really
have
a
model.
H
As
you
point
out,
we
have
eight,
maybe
in
the
city
we
don't
have
a
model
to
look
at
this
and
you're
asking
me
to
tell
my
neighbors
who
live
under
the
same
roof
as
this
building
to
take
that
risk,
and
I
don't
think
it's
fair
for
me
to
ask
another
family
to
take
a
risk
that
I
don't
want
to
take.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
D
I
just
I
I
want
to
follow
that
up.
Thank
you
for
that.
Chris,
you
know.
I
I'm
seeing
some
of
the
comments,
so
I
do
think
we
need
a
bit
more
moderation,
so
we
can
get
to
all
of
the
questions,
but
to
answer
that
directly
chris
you're
right
I
mean
it
is
a
risk.
This
is
a
risky
business.
We
understand
everyone's
concerns,
we're
not
shying
away
from
that
in
regards
to
you
know,
running
out
the
clock,
we're
currently
setting
up
meetings
with
the
leather
district
association.
D
You
know
this
is
going
to
be
the
first
of
many
meetings.
I'll
take
some
one-on-one
calls.
You
know
like
we
can't
squeeze
everything
into
this
two
hours,
so
we'd
love
to
have
some
up,
so
we
can
dig
more
into
these
topics
but
to
address
what
you
just
said
directly
chris,
it's
not
exactly
an
equal
analogy,
but
again
our
current
location,
abuts
reed
street,
which
is
probably
the
most
residential
neighborhood
in
great
barrington
and
directly
adjacent
to
our
store,
is
a
family
with
young
children
themselves.
D
You
know
they
bike
out
there
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
you
know
what
I
will
say
is
this
is
something
we've
tackled
before
in
a
similar
way,
and
I
would
like
to
think
that
that
you
know,
leaning
on
that
experience
will
help
us
be
more
effective
than
any
other
possible
partner.
In
doing
this,
you
know
at
this
very
location.
D
A
A
A
A
Oh
actually
one
more
thing,
so
I
do
want
to
just
reiterate
that
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
community
process,
and
also
I
see
here
that
counselor
melissa,
lowe
from
councillor
flynn's
office
is
here
as
well.
I
do
want
to
thank
her
for
being
here
and
I
do
ask
that
she
put
her
email
in
the
chat
as
well.
You
guys
can
reach
out
to
counselor
flynn's
office
with
any
comments
and
questions,
and
with
that
said,
I
do
want
to
turn
it
over
to
fan
wing.
G
Okay,
thank
you,
chulan.
Thank
you
for
organizing
this
public
hearing.
It
is
a
very
important
for
our
neighborhood
to
speak
up
on
this
important
issue.
It's
a
very
concerning
that,
maybe
just
to
since
it's
a
publicly
recorded.
I
want
to
just
mention
that
this
is
a
fan
one,
I'm
an
owner
and
also
a
resident
at
a
70,
lincoln
street
I've
been
living
here
for
several
years.
G
G
I
think
the
one
reason
the
developer
picked
this
location
because
it
lies
right
in
the
middle
of
a
public
transport.
We
are
just
next
to
the
south
station
bus
terminal,
train
station
and
also
they
are
within
a
couple
minutes
of
walk
to
five
or
six
different
subway
lines.
So
you
can
imagine
how
much
traffic
this
is
going
to
bring
it's
really.
The
developer
is
not
about
serving
our
community.
G
How
many
people
in
our
community
actually
going
to
need
their
kind
of
kind
of
business?
We
don't
have
that
many
people
living
here,
so
the
true
reason
is
actually
taking
advantage
of
the
public
transportation
so
that
the
people
from
outside
of
the
community
would
come
in
and
buy
things
becoming
a
canopy
hubspot
becoming
a
heiner
b
retail
center.
That's
just
not
what
we
want.
This
is
not
what
we
feel
safe
about.
It
look
at
also,
in
particular
the
laser
district's

You
know,
development
at
south
station
and
you
know
new
new
hotels
and
residences
and
other
big
projects
that
are
coming
in
and
just
by
virtue
of
of
the
the
fact
that
that
the
leather
district
is
so
is
such
a
hub.
You
you,
you
know,
the
the
growth
is
inevitable.
The
the
you
know
the
the
increase
in
the
you
know.
The
the
people
coming
through
the
leather
district
is
is,
is
inevitability
and
and
when
you
look
at.
F

J
J
I
am
the
mother
of
the
10
year
old
boy
that
lives
in
the
same
building
and
I
would
like
to
say
to
charlotte
charlotte.
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
you
that
cannabis
consumption
has
a
stigma
to
it
and
that
I
see
nothing
wrong
with
it
more
power
to
you
and
anybody
that
enjoys
it,
but
just
not
in
my
building
where
my
family
resides
and
we're
not
moving
we're
not
going
anywhere.
J
My
child
has
a
great
future
in
the
boston,
public
schools
and
we
have
enjoyed
living
here
and
we
enjoy
hosting
playdates
here,
and
we
share
the
same
stoop
so
as
much
as
you
want
to
keep
saying
that
it's
going
to
be
great
for
the
neighborhood
with
security
and
such
it's
not
a
good
look.
It's
not
anything
that
I
would
like
to
be
smelling
up
the
staircase,
because
before
you
were
proposing
this
dispensary
it
was
a
a
kitchen.
J
It
was
called
the
kitchen
and
it
was
a
wonderful
neighborhood
restaurant
where
gatherings
provide
were
provided,
and
we
got
to
say
hello
to
our
neighbors,
and
now
it's
going
to
be
turning
into
a
supposedly
cannabis
dispensary,
where
we
will
be
smelling
those
aromas
up
to
us
and
charlotte.
I
would
like
to
ask
you:
would
you
want
something
like
that
in
your
house
or
an
attached
retail
shop?
J
A
Just
go
forward
with
a
butter's
comments.
I
think
that
I
think
in
the
interest
of
time.
I
think
that
is
a
good
idea
unless,
unless
there
are,
unless
asked
upon
by
the
abutters
or
by
the
person,
making
the
comment,
we
will
just
go
two
minutes
of
comments
and
then
we'll
just
move
on
unless
the
applicant
wants
to
reflect
or
needs
to
respond
to
something.
C
We
we
we
welcome
the
the
butters
comments
and
and
and
obviously
respect
everybody's
opinion,
and
if
there's
not
a
direct
question,
then
you
know,
then
that's
that's
fine
and
you
know
people
can
get
there.
You
know
people
can
get
their
comments
on
on
the
record.
You
know
I
I
do
just
want
to.
You
know
say
that
you
know
there
would
be
there
would
be
no
smell
coming
from
the
facility.
You
know
the
the
technology
of
exists
is
like
a
negative
air
system
with
with
carbon.
C
C
I'm
not
trying
to
you
know,
go
through
this
and
rebut
everybody's.
You
know
everybody's
comments,
you
know
if,
if
you
know
people
want
to,
you
know
air
their
opinions
or
if
they
have
direct
questions,
you
know
we're
here
to
answer
them
and
if
people
just
want
to
you
know
put
on
the
record,
you
know
their
their
opposition
and
concerns
that
that's
you
know,
that's
totally
fine.
You
know
you
know
we.
We
want
this
to
be
a
a.
A
L
L
I
I
want
to
know
why,
and
I
understand
letter
of
law
you
know,
doesn't
state
anything
about
a
neighborhood,
but
why
do
you
believe
that
if
the
laws
state
that
a
dispensary
is
not
allowed
within
a
school
or
within
range
of
a
school,
why
would
it
be
a
good
idea
to
be
within
range
of
children's
homes?
And
and
how
is
that
different
in
your
minds?
Obviously
the
the
state
is
making
some
sort
of
statement
about
the
the
impact
of
the
adjacency
of
a
dispensary
to
where
children
spends
time.
L
There
are
children
in
this
neighborhood,
as
chris
mentioned
directly
in
your
building
avril
made
an
impassioned
plea
to
you.
There
are
adjacent
locations
to
this
neighborhood
even
closer
to
south
station,
where
you
could
achieve
the
the
foot
traffic
that
you
would
get
from
directly
within
the
neighborhood
within
a
building
filled
with
children.
L
Why
do
you
believe
that
there
there
would
be
no
negative
impact
you're
talking
about
your
your
desire
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
this
community?
I'd
love
to
see
whatever
studies
you
have
that
adjacency
to
children
is
not
a
good
idea
or
is
not
a
bad
idea.
Short
of
that
you
know.
That's
that's
pretty
much.
It.
C
Thanks
steven,
I
I
think
that
you
know
just
to
answer
the
question
you
know
the
the
setback
requirement
to
to
schools
is
is
established
because
if
you
just
made
a
setback
requirement
to
anywhere
where
children
reside,
then
you
would
defeat
the
purpose
of
the
you
know:
the
voters
approving
cannabis
legalization.
You
wouldn't
be
able
to
locate
anything
anywhere,
but
I
appreciate
it
appreciate
the
rest
of
your
comment.
Brandon.
L
The
question
is
why
you
believe
that
that
law
is
written?
Why
do
you
believe
that
adjacency
to
schools
is
considered
about
it
and
and
how
many,
how
many
cannabis
dispensaries
are
directly
within
primary
tenancy
residential
neighborhoods?
Sorry,
that's
a
quick
follow-up!
How
many
in
massachusetts
how
many
primary
tenancy
residential
neighborhoods
have
cannabis
dispensaries
directly
within
our.
C
I
them
mean
so
you
know
just
to
give
you
a
sense.
As
of
right
now,
cypress
tree
in
back
bay
has
over
400
direct
butters
beacon,
compassion
in
wex.
Roxbury
is
directly
next
to
a
one
family
residential
district
apotheca
in
jamaica,
plain,
is
directly
next
to
three
family
residential
district
union
twists
allston
directly
next
to
three
family
residential
district
high
street
capital
in
downtown
has
over
250
residential
butters.
C
So
it's
you
know,
and
you
know
the
sky
has
not
fallen
and
and
there's
there's
you
know,
there's
been
no
indication
that
the
existence
of
these
locations
has
resulted
in
any
increase
in
you
know,
youth
cannabis
use,
and
in
fact
you
know,
the
studies
suggest
the
opposite.
That
states
that
legalize
and
regulate
have
decreases
in
cannabis.
Use
amongst
you
know
amongst
teenagers.
So
you
know,
you
know,
provide
that
information
and
we
can
obviously
follow
up.
I
I
hope
it's
helpful
and
yeah.
I.
L
Appreciate
I
appreciate
the
answer
just
a
quick,
closing
statement
that
you
know
I'm
familiar
with
all
of
those
areas.
I
don't
know
those
specific
locations,
but
I
know
that
there
are
portions
of
each
of
those
neighborhoods
that
are
largely
commercial
and
even
industrial,
with
very
few
residences
around
them.
I
would
imagine
that
probably
none
of
those
are
directly
in
a
building
that
is
also
is
mostly
occupied
by
residences.
A
M
M
We've
had
some
break-ins
again
in
the
neighborhood.
I'm
afraid
that
this
is
going
to
bring
a
criminal
element
into
the
neighborhood
that
we
simply
don't
need.
We
have
enough
problems
already
with
it
being
a
cash
business
and
with
the
product
that
they
have.
I
it's
almost
as
sure
the
break-in's
gonna
happen
and
I'm
just
not
confident
that
they're
they
say
they're
gonna
be
watching
the
police.
M
One
thing
don't
watch
cameras,
so
I
don't
understand
that
at
all
and
then
the
alleyway
behind
it's
definitely
going
to
be
an
issue
with
people
hanging
out
and
right
now,
the
police,
when
you
call
back
there,
because
I've
called
9-1-1
many
times
for
people
hanging
out
in
the
back
and
the
police
just
don't
show
up
now.
I
know
that's
not
your
problem.
I
understand
that's
a
city
or
a
police
problem,
but
this
just
is
going
to
aggravate
that.
I
also
don't
understand
why
the
sunday
hours
have
to
be
so
late.
M
M
And
yeah,
I
guess
that's
like
I
said
we
have
other
issues:
we've
had
problems
with
another
business
on
lincoln
street
that
I'm
sure
that
people
are
familiar
with
where
we've
had
police
presence
here
on
saturday
and
sunday,
nights
with
noise,
other
kind
of
violence
and
stuff
of
that
nature.
So
I
guess
I'm
just
fearful
that
this
is
going
to
bring
more
of
that
again.
I'm
mostly
concerned
about
the
hours
that
you're
not
open.
A
N
N
D
B
It
is
currently
not
accessible,
and
so-
and
that
is
something
that
I
have
looked
at-
I
mean
I
think
that
there
are
ways
to
to
make
it
accessible
and
that's
something
that
we'll
have
to
you
know
do
as
a
part
of
our
architectural.
You
know
submission
process
with
the
city
and
doing
the
code
review.
You
know
for
the
plans
that
we
submit
to
the
city
if
permitted.
N
F
B
F
C
C
D
A
O
O
So
I'll
go
on
record
with
saying
that,
directly
with
respect
to
the
concerns
around
crime,
I
echo
the
sentiment
of
what
happens
after
9pm
when
the
store
closes
and
the,
and
I
have
absolutely
no
confidence
that
having
video
live
feeds
is
going
to
do
anything
we
have.
We
have.
We
will
see
increased
crime
in
this
neighborhood.
It
may
not
be
from
the
people
that
are
that
are
that
are
buying
your
product
and
I'm
directing
this
to
the
applicants,
but
those
people
will
attract
those
who
want
to
rob
them.
It's
a
cash
business.
O
I'm
also
concerned
on
behalf
of
my
neighbors
at
104,
south,
around
the
odor
and
and
around
the
smell
in
the
back
alley,
and-
and
I
I
don't
consume
cannabis,
so
I
don't
know
about
the
filtration
systems
but,
as
I
said,
I
think
that
there
are
so
many
factors
here
that
that
are
still
unexplored
and
unexplained
that
it
is
a
huge
risk
for
us
as
a
neighborhood.
Thanks.
B
A
E
Yeah
I
own
the
unit
directly
above
the
proposed
location
at
102
south
street,
so
just
for
those
that
are
less
familiar.
102
and
104
are
the
same
building,
so
I'm
102
directly
above
the
proposed
location-
and
I
just
I
guess
here
to
say
for
the
record-
that
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
argument
actually
in
favor
of
this.
E
The
only
potential
argument
would
be
if
the
presence
of
this
business
would
be
somehow
seen
to
improve
our
neighborhood
in
ways
that
any
other
business
located
there
that
doesn't
have
all
these
excuse
me,
potential
downside
risks
carries
and
I
think
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
stretch.
So
I
don't
personally
see-
and
I
have
no
problem
with
cannabis-
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
industry.
I'm
a
medical
doctor
very
familiar,
there's
just
no
reason
to
support
this
application.
In
my
view-
and
that's
all
for
me.
P
Yeah,
thank
you.
This
is
brian
carmine.
I
live
on
the
fifth
floor
of
the
102
104
building
just
directly
above
I'm
not
going
to
sort
of
rehash
everything
else.
Everybody
has
said
I'm
in
agreement
with
just
about
everything.
But
again
I
do
wanna
sort
of
call
out
the
the
odor
issue.
You
know
I
I
hear
I
don't
know
you
know
filtration
or
air
handling
systems,
but
all
I
can
tell
you
is
when
that
place
was
the
kitchen
when
somebody
the
at
6am
when
they
put
a
strip
of
bacon
on
the
grill.
P
I
smelled
it
in
my
unit
all
the
way
on
the
top
floor
right
away
and
then
for
breakfast
and
lunch.
My
place
smelled
like
breakfast
and
lunch,
which
was
a
little
bit
of
a
hassle,
but
but
I
certainly
don't
need
it
to
smell
like
weed,
and
the
flip
side
of
that
is
even
if
you
guys
have
the
best
air
handling
systems
in
the
world.
There
is
something
about
the
air
flow
in
our
place.
P
That
again,
if
somebody
is
even
smoking
a
cigarette
or
marijuana
on
just
sitting
on
our
steps,
we
smell
it.
I
smell
it.
Five
floors
up.
You
know
I,
I
cannot
imagine
how
you
know:
people
the
the
folks
who
live
on
four
three
and
two
deal
with
it,
so
so
the
odor
is
a
real
issue.
You
know,
in
addition
to
everything
that
I
agree
with
everybody
else,
about
the
crime,
the
type
neighborhood,
what
happens
after
hours,
so
again,
another
resident
of
the
building
who
just
wants
to
go
on
record.
Q
Q
Q
You
know
a
business
that
is
going
to
improve
my
life
and
the
quality
of
life
of
the
residents
in
this
neighborhood,
and
if
you
have
any
other
aspect,
if
you
can
convince
me
why
your
activity
beside
be
a
great
activity
for
your
company
and
the
people
that
you
are
hiring,
why
should
be
beneficial
for
all
of
us
here?
I
would
be
really
happy,
but
I
don't
hear
any
beneficial
comment
and
so
it's
very
hard
to
to
not
oppose
to
this
request.
Thank
you.
All.
C
A
R
Sure,
thank
you,
antonella.
I
think
I
had
sent
you
some
research
studies.
When
you
look
at
cannabinoid
use,
it
can
be
used
very
therapeutically,
not
just
creating
addiction.
There's
actually,
studies
that
show
cbd,
which
is
a
part
of
the
cannabinoid
plant,
will
actually
curb
addiction
for
tobacco
use,
for
example.
Q
Yeah,
the
problem
is
that
we
are
not
talking
about
therapeutic
cannabinoid
use.
Only
these
cannabinoids
are
available
to
anybody.
Not
only
the
people
with
you
know,
problems
or
healthy
condition.
I
am
a
very
aware
I
work
in
the
epilepsy
field
and
I
know
that
one
of
the
drug
reasons
to
approve
is
based
on
cannabinoid,
so
I
know
how
the
works
and
what
I'm
saying
I
am
not
against
them
when
there
is
a
therapeutic
needs,
I'm
just
you
know
not
happy
that
everybody
can
have
an
unc.
Q
A
I
Is
chris
engebretson
and
jennifer
farrell?
We
are
owners
at
107,
south
street
5a.
You
know,
we've
already.
We've
already
heard
all
many
of
the
reasons
why
this
is
a
bad
idea.
This
is
a
neighborhood
that
is
it's
a
mixed-use
neighborhood,
that's
primarily
residential,
that
is
home
to
many
children,
including
we
have
two
children,
one
of
whom
has
special
needs.
We've
already
got
a
problem
with
all
the
wrong
kinds
of
people
frequenting
the
neighborhood
because
of
the
proximity
to
the
bus
station
and
every
other
else.
I
Every
other
thing
this
is-
and
you
know,
we've
got-
we've
got
heroin
users
in
the
in
the
back
valley
of
our
of
our
building.
Sometimes
in
this
we
just
don't
need
to
attract
any
more
bad
behavior
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
you
know
I
noticed
this
meeting
was
set
up
for
the
4th
of
july
week,
we're
actually
on
vacation,
but
we
have
taken
time
away
from
our
vacation
to
get
on
here
and
and
let
it
be
known
we
vociferously
oppose
this
and
we
will
at
every
turn,
show
up
to
voice
that
opposition.
A
Thank
you
all.
I
don't
see
any
more
raised
hands
at
this
at
this
time.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
chat
and
we
will
answer
any
questions
stated
in
the
chat.
We'll
start
actually
we'll
start
from
here.
If
you
have
any
questions
that
you
want
to
leave
in
the
chat,
please
put
question
before
your
question:
in
parentheses
and
I'll
read
that
question
into
onto
the
record.
A
So
I
have
a
question
here
from
jacqueline:
how
much
what
weight
does
the
neighborhood
opposition
hold?
So
that's
a
question.
That's
a
good
question
and
I'm
only
here
to
facilitate
process
this.
This
meeting
is
recorded
and
will
be
placed
on
the
options
file.
It
is
that
is
up
to
the
judgment
of
the
bcev,
whether
or
not
they
would
oppose
or
support
this
project.
A
A
Does
the
regulatory
framework
for
the
city
of
boston
and
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
allow
both
applicants
to
secure
licenses
at
their
respective
locations
of
727
atlantic
avenue
and
one
over
four
stage
self-straight,
or
is
this
a
situation
where,
if
one
applicant
succeeds,
the
other
applicant
due
to
proximity
is
blocked
or
notwithstanding
any
opposition
within
the
neighborhood?
Could
this
be
a
situation
where
we
end
up
with
two
separate
cannabis
retail
stores
within
one
block
of
each
other?
B
We
expect
that
the
majority
of
our
business
will
be
direct
to
consumer
delivery,
because
that's
the
way
of
the
world
ecommerce
scene,
you
know,
is
a
more
popular
form
of
shopping
for
many
people
than
I'm
going
to
to
retail.
So
we
see
a
retail
store,
is
you
know?
You
know
complementary
option
for
customers
to
our
primary
focus,
which
will
be
delivery
out
of
that
location.
I
don't
believe
that
the
other
applicant
is
proposing
that
the
site,
be
it
courier
delivery
as
well.
C
F
A
So
the
next
question
is
from
ken
this
is.
This
is
actually
antonella's
question.
How
many,
how
many
people
on
this
meeting
support
this
pot
store,
so
this
meeting
is
there
will
be
no
decision
made
on
this
meeting.
This
is
only
the
statutory
abutters
meeting
required
by
the
state
and
the
city
as
part
of
the
process.
A
A
The
next
question
is
chu:
can
you
tell
us
about
the
timing
for
this
process?
What
the
earliest
day
that
this
component
could
be
granted
a
go
ahead
and
the
milestone
dates
along
the
way,
so
until
we
get
a
green
light
from
jasmine
nguyen
from
the
cannabis
board,
I
don't
know
what
the
dates
look
like
again.
If
you
do
shoot
me,
an
email,
I'll
leave
my
email
again
in
the
chat
I'll,
be
able
to
follow
up
and
give
you
some
exact
dates.
When
we
have
some.
A
Do
see
a
lot
of
comments
here,
but
no
question?
Oh
there
is.
I
have
one
here
following
up
on
brandon
mentioning
the
half
mile
bus
buffer
requirement
how's
he
at
how's
the
applicant
addressing
104
cell
street
being
within
half
a
mile
of
cannabis,
21
milk
street.
What
approval
this
location
is
requiring
exception
to
the
half
mile
buffer.
C
So
you
know
so
in
you
know,
you
know,
that's
why
we're
here?
That's
why
we're
answering
the
questions
and-
and
you
know
that's
why
the
the
other
groups
are
gonna-
have
to
do
the
same
thing
in
in
an
effort
to
to
to
try
to
to
try
to
get
to
try
to
get
support
and
explain.
You
know
why
it
is
that
you
know
you
know
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
we're
hearing
today.
C
A
So
I
also
have
a
question
here
from
stephen
mosley
from
96.
South
street
is
the
mayor's
office
at
all
discussing
legislation
around
marijuana,
dispensaries
and
residential
buildings?
Is
that
it
is
that
an
issue
that
can
be
addressed
in
this
process?
So
if
you,
I
will
defer
that
question
to
our
policy
team.
I'm
only
here
to
facilitate
the
committee
process
for
this
specific
proposal.
A
A
K
K
K
A
O
O
Yes,
so
to
I
don't
know
who
made
the
point
around
it
being?
Was
it
brandon
about
the
location
being
more
than
half
a
mile?
I
actually
just
put
it
into
google
maps
and
it's
not
that's
all.
I
wanted
to
say,
and
I
thought
it
was
actually
a
mile
that
you
had
needed
a
variant
for
for
any
location.
That's
under
a
mile
is
that
am
I
incorrect.
C
F
A
M
Yeah
I
wanted
to
echo
the
thing
about
the
back
alleyway.
That's
why
I
raised
my
hand
again,
because
that
was
a
new
piece
of
information
is
the
fact
that
they
tend
tend
to
use
the
back
alleyway
as
an
active
way,
and
I
just
don't
see
that
happening.
Keep
in
mind
that
there's
no
snow
removal
on
that
back
alleyway
and
there's
also
the
potential
for
ice
fans
and
various
other
things
back
there,
that
you
cannot
expect
for
the
rest
of
the
people,
the
residents
on
east
street
to
pay
for
your
luxury
to
deliver
product.
M
A
A
So
that
you
all
understand
absolutely
yeah,
so
my
my
job
is
to
facilitate
the
process.
I
am
here
to
host
this
meeting
here.
This
is
the
requires
that
statutorily
required
meeting
required
by
the
state
and
the
city
before
they
can
move
forward
to
the
cannabis
board
and
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
So.
A
C
So
doug
is,
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
state
requirements
for
the
community
outreach
meetings
that
and
and
having
them
virtually
there.
There
needs
to
be
a
independent
moderator.
Different
municipalities
will
will
do
it
differently
and
the
way
that
boston
does
it
is
that
you
know
you
know
they
have
it
moderated
through
somebody
from
the
you
know,
somebody
from
the
community
liaison
from
the
mayor's
office.
F
M
Them
no,
I
I
just
threw
that
out
there
as
an
example.
I'm
just.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
someone
that
was
in
the
city,
part
of
the
city,
and
if
it's
in,
if
you're
new,
that's
fine,
I
understand
that
you're
neutral,
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
take
that.
That
makes
sense.
Okay!
Thank
you!
G
Yes,
thank
you
for
offering
me
another
opportunity
to
speak.
Since
we
have
another
10
minutes
left
for
the
meetings.
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
chance
to
just
speak
up
again,
since
I
had
a
previously
two
minutes.
I
think
I
want
to
also
give
a
reference
of
the
potential.
This
kind
of
business
will
lead
our
community
into
say.
G
G
There
are
multiple
locations
of
those
draggery,
rehab,
centers
and
also
a
lot
of
those
cannot
be
unrelated
business
but
historically
just
because
they
are
there
so
that
only
rental
apartments
are
available
because
people
don't
want
to
live
there,
it's
dangerous,
it's
just
a
hike
attack.
You
have
to
walk
through
passing
all
those
drug
addicts,
leaning
against
the
war,
try
to
try
to
do
something
that
you
don't
want
to
see.
I
think
this
kind
of
business
has
the
potential
to
get
our
neighborhood
into
that
unfortunate
situation.
G
L
Hi
thanks
again
steven
mosley
96
south
street,
just
one
last
point
regarding
the
increases
in
security,
you
talked
about
adding
security
systems,
lights,
etc.
Motion
detectors
around
your
business
is
the
proposal
for
an
increase
of
security
in
the
area,
an
implicit
admission
that
your
presence
in
the
neighborhood
will
increase
criminal
activity
and,
if
not,
why
the
proposal
for
increased
security?
C
Thanks
stephen,
you
know
so
again
the
you
know.
The
evidence
suggests
that
the
the
location
or
the
existence
of
a
cannabis
dispensary
in
a
in
a
neighborhood
decreases
decreases
crime.
The
the
security
regulations
that
were
alluded
to
are
are
state
regulatory
requirements.
So
so
that's
it's.
It's
not
an
implicit
admission
that
these
these
businesses
increase
crime.
C
Again,
it's
suggested
that
the
opposite
is
actually
the
case,
and
so
so
it's
it
and
again
it
makes
you
know
by
by
having
a
you
know
a
a
highly
regulated,
secure
business
it
it
creates
more
safety
for
the
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood.
So
no,
it
is
not
a
no.
It
is
not
an
implicit
emission.
It's
these
are.
These
are
regular
requirements,
in
addition
to
a
recognition
of
of
existing
issues
within
the
the
weather
district
and
then
a
commitment.
L
L
L
And
I
know
you
don't
have
the
answer
to
that-
that
you
didn't
create
that
legislation,
I'm
just
putting
it
out
there.
I'd
like
the
mayor's
office
to
stew
on
that
charlotte.
You
know,
I
appreciate
your
your
feedback
as
well,
but
you
know
with
all
the
respect.
I
don't
believe
you
live
in
a
building
with
a
cannabis
dispensary
downstairs,
so
please
go
ahead.
B
You
know
it's
just
we're
dealing,
you
know
we're
dealing
with
cultural
change,
and-
and
so
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
in
designing
the
legislation,
some
of
the
things
personally,
quite
frankly,
I
find
that
are
overreaching
and
not
necessary.
I
mean
we
haven't.
We
have
in
our
core
and
great
barrington
56
security
cameras.
B
It's
you
know,
because
we're
required
to
by
by
state
law,
not
because
so
I
just
think
it's
something
that
the
you
know,
legislature,
you
know,
and
the
regulators
designed
to
make
people
feel
more
comfortable
with
something
that's
new,
more
than
necessarily
the
need
for
it.
So
that's
that's
my
two
cents
personally.
L
With
all
due
respect,
I
mean
you're
you're,
talking
about
your
personal
experience
with
businesses
adult
adult
serving
businesses
around
your
residence.
In
my
opinion,
a
retail
business
within
a
residential
community
should
serve
the
will
of
the
residents.
It
shouldn't,
be
bringing
external
factors
within
and
into
the
neighborhood.
L
This
business
doesn't
serve
the
will
of
this
of
this
neighborhood
and
it's
replacing
a
business
that
was
beloved
by
this
neighborhood
was
run
out
by
the
owners
of
the
space
that
you're
attempting
to
purchase.
They
obviously
don't
care
about
the
neighborhood.
I'm
I'm
hoping
that
my
neighbors
will
join
me
in
in
petitioning
heavily
to
the
mayor's
office
against
this
business.
L
L
D
A
Thank
you
an
interesting
time
we
do
have
to
move
on
to
the
next
question.
I
have
a
question
here
from
jacqueline
church.
She
does
ask
that.
Does
anyone
here
support?
So
I
do
want
to
address
that
question.
There
will
be
no
vote,
they'll
be
taken
here
tonight.
There
are
no
decisions
that
are
being
made
here
tonight.
P
Yeah
again,
I
just
want
to
sort
of
bring
up.
You
know
the
the
security
concerns.
What
happens
after
the
place
is
closed.
This
and
again,
this
is
something
where
I
think,
even
in
the
applicant's
interests
you
may
want
to
listen
to
the
residence
here.
You
know
this
is
not
brooklyn.
This
is
not
new
york
after
9pm,
especially
now
with
most
of
our
restaurants
gone.
P
A
C
M
P
L
S
S
and
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
as
not
supporting
this
business.
I
appreciate
their
interest
in
our
community,
but
I
would
like
to
share
just
like,
like
very
quickly
some
of
the
things
that
my
residents
face
or
my
fellow
neighbors
face,
and
I'm
someone
who
calls
9-1-1
a
lot.
So
I
care
about
the
community.
I
pick
up
trash.
S
S
This
is
not
great
barrington,
although
having
said
that,
I
would
never
want
a
business
that
has
to
have
55
security
cameras,
one
block
for
me,
so
I
don't
live
on
south
street,
but
I
live
one
street
behind,
but
we
share
the
alley.
So
I
share
that
alley,
that
is
between
south
street
and
lincoln
street,
and
it's
called
utica
street
and
just
very
high
level.
There's
a
lot
I'll
put
this
in
quote
a
lounge
on
lincoln
street,
where
it
gets
out
at
2
a.m.
S
There
there
you
know
people
are
yelling
in
the
street.
I
had
to
call
9-1-1
at
2
30
this
past
weekend,
because
an
suv
was
blaring
music
for
half
an
hour,
so
there's
also
an
alley
entrance
now
to
a
bar
in
the
alley.
So
I
know
the
pot
show
shop
is
closing
at
nine,
but
you
know
people
will
be
buying
their
pot
at
this
store
on
south
street
walking
into
our
alley.
S
S
We
stick
together
as
a
neighborhood,
but
I
do
have,
to
be
honest,
I've
been
trying
to
convince
my
husband
to
leave
because
I
can't
stand
the
quality
of
life
issues
anymore
and
I
feel
like
if
there's
now
a
pot
shop
on
south
street,
then
that'll
be
it
then
we'll
leave
and
we'll
take
our
property
taxes
and
we'll
have
to
move
everywhere
under
somewhere
else.
But
first
and
foremost,
I
support
my
neighbors
and
I
I
am
opposed
to
this.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
ken,
and
in
the
interest
of
time
we
will
be
wrapping
up
I'll
I'll,
be
reading
one
more
question
from
the
chat
and
I'll
be
calling
one
more
raised
hand
before
we
wrapped
up
before
we
wrap
up,
and
the
question
comes
from
avro
carmine
and
the
question
is
charlotte,
never
answered
my
question.
Would
she
be
okay?
A
B
Yes,
if
I
I
mean
I
would
open
the
store
that
I
proposed
that
we
were
proposing
to
open
in
a
building
that
I
live
in.
Yes,
I
would,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
people
won't
be
allowed
to
sit
on
the
stoop
and
smoke
pot.
I
would
not
be
okay
with
that
yeah,
but
that
isn't
something
that
is
going
to
be
allowed.
G
Yes,
sir,
I
just
want
to
say
I
put
it
in
the
chat
as
well.
I
think
it
will
be
very
informative
for
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
to
conduct
work
order,
a
market
analysis,
how
many
people,
this
kind
of
business
will
actually
get
the
business
from
within
our
neighborhood
from
the
residents
and
how
many
shares
of
the
business
will
actually
get
from
outsiders.
They'll
be
very
telling
about
their
true
purpose
and
who
they
really
serve.
A
Thank
you
fan
and
with
that
we'll
we'll
wrap
up
this
community
meeting.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
community
growth
partners,
delivery
team
again
for
presenting
and
coming
in
front
of
the
neighborhood.
I
do
want
to
thank
all
the
neighbors
for
being
here
tonight
with
us.
This
was
a
very
important
conversation
and
I
do
want
to
reiterate
again
that
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
community
process.
No
decisions
were
made
tonight.
A
This
was
just
the
statutory
committee
meeting
required
by
the
city
and
the
state
before
moving
on
to
the
cannabis
board
and
the
sedona
board
of
appeals,
the
proposal
that
needs
to
go
through
a
state
process
before
it
will
be
able
to
open.
So
again,
please
do
submit
any
letters
of
support
or
opposition
to
my
email
and
please
cc
melissa,
lowe
and
counselor
flynn.
I
see
melissa.
A
Lowe
is
still
on
this
call,
so
I
do
want
to
also
thank
melissa
from
counselor
flynn's
office
for
joining
us
tonight
and
please
do
submit
any
written
letters
of
support
and
or
opposition
to
my
email
from
truland.hwang
at
boston.gov,
which
I
will
drop
again
in
chat
and
please
put
the
address
of
the
application
in
this
case.
