Thank
thank
you,
as
the
meeting
was
starting.
I
just
wanted
to
relay
some
information
to
you
from
residents
of
chinatown,
many
of
them
speaking
that
speak
cantonese
or
mandarin,
but
they
were
having
a
difficult
time
trying
to
log
into
the
system
the
online
platform.
They
were
finally
figuring
out
the
zoom,
and
then
we
went
to
a
different
format.
F
Others
can't
hear
the
audio.
So
that's
discouraging
to
me,
as
they're
elected
official
I
have
to,
I
have
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
heard
and
and
that's
my
number
one
job
and
if,
if,
if
I
have
a
meeting
and
they
can't
and
their
voices
can't
be
heard,
I'm
I'm
not
doing
my
job.
So
I'm
I'm
disappointed.
I'm
telling
you
I'm
telling
everybody
right
now,
I'm
disappointed
in
the
start
of
this
meeting.
G
A
C
Thank
you.
Anna
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
know
it
is
very
difficult
to
use
webex,
I'm
still
learning,
but
it's
just
because
we
are
required
to
use
webex.
We
cannot
use
zoom
for
these
types
of
meetings
for
these
community
meetings
and
then
I
just
I
will
bring
this
back
to
my
director
and
talk
to
him
about
it,
and
I
can.
F
B
Flynn,
if
I
may,
I
I'd
be
more,
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
do
an
additional
one
on
zoom.
This
is
just
the
required
setup.
So
as
long
as
the
required
and
legal
is,
is
completed,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
utilize
the
platform
that
the
community
is
more
familiar
with
and
redo
the
redo,
the
presentation
at
a
time
it's
convenient
to
them.
If
you
want
to
help
me,
arrange
that
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
I
understand
I.
I
had
no
idea
we
were
using
webex.

acknowledges
that
the

and
we
have
engaged
with
different
historical
organizations
to
preserve
its
historical
value
and
culture,
and
we
plan
to
keep
all
of
the

The
next
few

preliminary
design
layouts

well
as
secured
access
points

would
be
laid
out
filling
all
security.

A
B
B
Thank
you.
There
are
multiple
opportunities
in
the
local
community
that
would
benefit
from
having
this
type
of
operation
in
the
neighborhood.
Royalty
groups
specifically
will
be
providing
10
to
12,
full
and
part-time
jobs

local
residents
and
those
who

queries

A
A
A
A
B
B
B
And
the
next
slide,
these
can
be
reviewed
so
think
we
want,
on
behalf
of
royalty
group
and
our
team
this
evening,
we'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
like
any
additional
conversations
about
the
company
and
its
operations,
please
feel
free
to
utilize
the
contact
information
on
this
slide
and
again
you
can
find
this
presentation
on.
C
C
Then
well
before
we
go
to
question
and
answer
anna,
could
you
help
me
translate
whenever
I
speak?
Please,
oh
yeah.
Okay,
sure
briefly,
I
wanted
to.
I
know
everyone
is
having
issues
with
webex
and
I
sincerely
apologize,
but
it's
because
on
the
city
of
boston
and
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
we
are
do
it
has
to
have
us
use
webex
as
one
of
the
platforms
for
the
community
meetings.
A
C
And
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
no
decisions
are
being
made
tonight
and
at
no
time
will
it
be?
Will
it
be
like
have
any
decisions
anytime
soon,
because
they
will
also
need
to
have
the
zoning
board
schedule
them
for
a
hearing
date
and
then
they're
then
on
the
residents
and
the
partners
and
community
members
can
still
come
in
to
voice
their
concerns,
questions
or
anything
that
they
would
like
to
present
to
the
board.
Regarding
this
specific
proposal.
C
And
we
will
have
questions
and
answers
today,
but
just
to
clarify
again,
we
we
will
have.
This
is
an
open
comment
period,
so
we
will
still
have
the
opportunity.
You
will
still
have
the
opportunity
to
contact
me
or
the
applicant
or
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
for
any
questions
that
you
have
or
comments
that
you
have.
A
C
G
B
This
location
was
chosen
due
to
its
location
being
with
other,
like
businesses,
nightclubs,
bars,
restaurants,
other
licensed
and
regulated.
Businesses
are
all
in
that
same
area
keeping
it
with
like
businesses
and
also
because
of
the
size
of
the
building
allowing
for
inside
queuing
keeping
lines
off
the
sidewalk.
A
C
I
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
great?
Yes,
so
thank
you
for
the
response.
That's
good!
I
know
you.
You
mentioned
historical
location,
that's
true!
No
matter
who
develops
that
they'll
have
to
maintain
the
historic
location
regardless,
because
it's
half
dark
property
so
but
you're
also
moving
further
south
in
towards
chinatown.
We
don't
have
like
liquor
stores
right
there
or
down
that
area,
so
you
are
kind
of
pushing
down
to
the
south.
A
B
Yes,
ellen
there
are,
is
one
liquor
store,
at
least
on
washington,
located
in
chinatown
right
on
the
edge
there
and
having
the
store
located
with
liquor.
Establishments
that
serve
liquor.
On-Premises
is
another
reason
why
I
chose
it,
because
people
will
come
into
our
store,
purchase
product
and
leave,
and
it's
in
an
area
where
people
usually
would
go
to
a
restaurant,
consume
liquor
and
stay
so
again,
like
like
businesses.
I
G
C
J
Thank
you,
lisa
and
thank
you,
andrea.
I
think
it's
critical
to
put
on
the
official
record
here
that
there
would
be
even
more
community
opposition
at
this
meeting
if
the
public
wasn't
literally
muted
and
the
fact
that
many
non-english
speaking
residents
weren't
able
to
get
into
this
webex
format.
So
you
would
have
had
a
lot
more
people
here
expressing
very
serious
concerns
about
this
location
if
the
meeting
wasn't
so
difficult
for
them
to
access.
So
I
guess
please
don't
discount
the
community
opposition
that
wasn't
able
to
speak
at
this
quote-unquote
official
meeting.
J
Dispensaries
are
wildly
unpopular
in
this
neighborhood,
but
you
already
know
that
this
is
also
not
a
debate
about
the
legalization
of
cannabis,
so
it
doesn't
matter
how
many
people
in
this
district
voted
for
that
issue,
because
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
community.
Not
supporting
this
specific
location.
G
J
That
said,
when
do
you
anticipate
appearing
before
the
boston
cannabis
board
and
how
much?
How
much
notice
will
you
be
giving
the
community
prior
to
that
hearing
date
and
how
will
you
commit
to
notifying
us
at
every
step
of
the
way
from
when
you
request
the
date
and
to
keep
yes
posted
when
it's
finally
confirmed.
A
B
J
C
So
let
me
let
me
extend
that
too,
so
the
boston
cannabis
board
will
not
schedule
a
hearing
until
I
let
them
know
that
the
community
process
has
been
fully
done.
So
I
will
check
with
the
community
to
see
if
any
further
outreach
is
needed,
just
that,
such
as
the
residents
association,
the
neighborhood
association,
the
chinatown
neighborhoods
council
and
the
safety
committee
as
well,
and
then
some
neighborhood
groups,
if
they
had
prior
reach
out
to
me.
B
And
the
second
question
was
how
much
notice
will
be
given
and
how,
again
that
is
dictated
through
the
organizations
such
as
the
bcb?
They
they
regulate,
what
how
much
time
needs
to
be
given?
We
will
follow
that
regulation
and
how
again
is
determined
through
them,
such
as
the
city
determines
a
butters,
flyering
and
neighborhood
association
emails.
J
A
A
J
C
C
C
D
Thank
you
good
evening.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
first
want
to
say
it's
7
30.
we've
listened
to
45
minutes
of
presentation
by
the
proponent
who
was
given
air
time
with
apparently
no
limit
on
it.
So
there's
going
to
be
limited
community
participation,
because
I'm
not
sure
how
many
of
my
neighbors
are
up
for
being
on
a
community
meeting
virtually
for
two
hours.
So
this
whole
format
and
this
whole
meeting
should
not
be
considered
a
community
meeting
in
my
opinion.
D
If
you
want
to
donate,
donate
out
of
the
goodness
of
your
heart
but
don't
use
their
names
in
these
presentations
to
somehow
imply,
there
is
some
kind
of
community
partnership
with
them
when
there
is
not.
And
finally,
I'm
not
sure
why
we're
supposed
to
be
impressed
that
loyal
that
royalty
group
has
committed
to
paying
its
property
taxes.
That
was
just
very
curious
to
me
in
your
presentation.
K
K
B
B
A
D
B
B
L
I'm
okay
and
I'm
a
resident
of
china,
and
I
want
to
register
my
strongest
opposition
to
the
location
and
further
I'd
like
to
have
andrea
to
specifically
verify
to
us
that
she
has
received
support
from
jane
lowe
of
yes,
because
my
conversation
with
her.
She
indicated
that
there
was
no
quick
recall
for
any
any
intended
donation
to
yes
and
she
has
not
given
any
support
to
the
location
at
all.
L
L
Give
for
support
it
wasn't
too
like
for
us
to
give
her
money
for
her
to
support
us.
It
was
that
I
told
her
the
location
that
we're
gonna
be
at
that
we're
applying
for
and
we're
looking
to
work
with
them
on
their
underage
drinking
and
drug
abuse
program,
and
that
they're,
not
in
opposition
to
our
location,
and
that
they
will
work
with
us
and
willing
to
work
with
us
on
their
program
and
take
donation
from
us.
L
L
K
A
A
A
L
A
D
Main
street,
so
you
stated
a
couple
items
that
paul
chen
has
stated
that
boston
yes,
was
approached
and
they
support
you
and
then
you
blatantly
put
on
donations
to
boston.
Yes,
so
and
then
you
put
on
another
donation
to
the
box
that
or
whoever
they
are
don't
know
who
they
are
they're,
not
even
in
the
community.
A
D
And
not
only
you
haven't
even
approached
the
safety
committee
meeting
before
this
public
meeting
and
you
have
never
have
had
a
meeting
with
the
chinatown
neighborhood
council
before
this
meeting,
which
and
the
residents
associate
chinatown
residents
association.
So
I'm
not
sure
exactly
where
this
whole
project
is
going.
A
B
A
L
B
L
For
receiving
donations,
that's
part
of
the
cannabis
control
commission's
application
to
identify
two
non-profits
in
a
disproportionately
affected
area
to
receive
annual
donations.
That's
one!
That's
on
that's
the
25
000
annually.
Donation!
Second,
is.
The
second
donation
is
something
that
we're
doing
outside
of
the
outside
of
that
as
part
of
the
community
community
benefits,
and
that
was
on
the
second
another
slide
where
we
were
working
with,
we
will
be
working
with
crossing
asian,
yes
on
their
programming
and
we'll
give
donate
to
them
monetarily
as
well
to
help
with
that
programming.
L
L
B
L
B
G
M
A
L
She
had
mentioned
that
we
didn't
go
to
the
chinatown
residents
association,
that
we
didn't
go
to
the
chinatown
neighborhood
council
or
reach
out
to
any
other
organizations.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
We
did
we
take
over
the
chinatown
residents
association.
We
did
go
to
the
chinatown
neighborhood,
council
and
andre
has
been
calling
attending
the
chinatown
safety
committee
pretty
regularly
and
shima
already
had
a
conversation
with
them,
so
it
they
present
to
those
organizations
in
the
neighborhood.
A
A
C
N
N
N
I
think
the
point
is
simply
that
the
mere
fact
of
receiving
a
donation
should
not
be
construed
as
support.
Okay.
So
again
I
put
it
for
the
record
design
quincy
upper
school
will
receive
your
10
000
donation.
If
you
want
to
give
it
to
us.
Okay,
I
don't
have
any
problems
with
that,
but
I'm
going
to
come
out
in
opposition.
So
it's
it's
not.
I
don't
think
you
can
equate
receiving
donation.
In
fact,
I'm
pretty
sure
that
the
fiduciary
responsibility
of
the
board
of
the
a
charitable.
N
I
believe
a
organization
must
receive
if,
if
it's
a
legal
contribution,
I
don't
think
they
have
discretion
in
that
situation
so
anyway.
So
I
I
want
to,
I
think,
it's
very
important
to
distinguish
that
and
not
receiving
the
money
as
support.
Okay,
after
all,
karl
marx
said
that
the
capitalists
will
spell
the
road
by
which
they
hang
so
anyways.
N
My
second
point
is
on
the
question
of
of
the
procedural
tactic
or
strategy,
so
in
working
with,
let's
say
the
electric
field
of
signage
and
other
hearings
common
for
petitioners
to
delay
withdrawal
reschedule
at
the
last
minute
and
typically
there's
a
sense
of
you
know
seeing
what
the
what
the
attendance
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
reading
the
room
and
then
looking
for
the
opportune
time
to
strike
and
then
get
the
position
through.
N
So
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
commitment
that
the
royalty
group
will
abide
by
the
first
given
date
for
the
hearing,
because
it
takes
a
lot
of
effort
on
on
our
part
to
get
our
community
members.
You
know
people
have
to
really
make
sacrifices
to
make
time,
and
so
I
I've
got
540
families
and
my
credibility's
on
the
line.
If
I
ask
them
to
show
up
and
then
it
gets
canceled
right,
it's
like
the
boy
who
cried
wolf.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
for.
N
B
N
Yeah,
no,
I
I
get
it
if
it's
the
authority,
if
it's
the
authorities
say
the
document
is
full.
We
can't
hear
your
your
case.
Fine,
I
get
that,
but
oftentimes.
It
is
presented
that
the
petitioner
has
withdrawn
and
and
want
to
be
reconsidered
at
a
later
time.
So,
if
that's
a
procedural
posture,
then
I
think
we
will
interpret
that
as
as
the
tactic
of
shopping
for
the
a
better
time
to
get
the
application
through
okay.
So
I
guess,
if
it's
beyond
your
control
in
terms
of
the
control
board,
sure
we
can
otherwise.
B
N
All
right
and
then
and
then
the
third
point
is
all
right.
The
third
point
is
your:
if
you
can
give
the
measurement
for
the
distance
of
the
stewart
street
location
to
all
three
of
my
campus
locations,
I
put
it
in
the
chat
box
that
would
be
900,
washington,
152,
arlington
and
eight
oak
street.
So
if
they
don't
have
to
do
like
a
second
that
one
you
can
provide
to
me
offline
if
you
want,
but
I
would
like
that
you
know
kind
of
affirmation,
affirmative
statement.
D
B
B
N
Okay,
I
got
it
and
just
I'll
just
conclude
and
just
say:
look
it's
nothing
personal,
but
I've
got
94
of
my
kids
who
are
going
off
to
colleges
now.
These
are
immigrant
kids
and
this
this
year,
literally
this
month,
they're
getting
accepted
to
babson
bc,
bu
brandeis,
cornell,
johns
hopkins,
morehouse,
northeastern
tufts,
vanderbilt
and
yale
okay.
These
are
kids
that
if
any
of
them
gets
derailed,
just
one
it's
just
one
gets
derailed
because
of
substance,
addiction
and
marijuana
being
one
of
them
that
could
potentially
get
at
least
trip
up
one
of
them.
Why?
N
I
know
this
because
we
work
with
yes
by
the
way
you
know
they're
they're
partners
about
and
as
far
as
just
why,
yes
I'll
just
say
this:
okay,
we
community
members
at
least
I've,
had
conversations
with
other
community
members.
We
did
not
want
to
put
jane
lyong
and
yes
in
a
difficult
position.
We
have
no
problem
with
her
receiving
the
funds
and
she
just
needs
to
just
stay
neutral.
N
But
if
you're
going
to
force
us,
if
you're
going
to
make
the,
if
you're
going
to
make
a
statement
that
by
receiving
the
funds,
is
going
to
be
tantamount
to
support-
and
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
take
responsibility
and
we'll
get
changed
at
ten
thousand
dollars
in
some
other
way.
Okay,
so
please
don't
put
her
and
don't
put
us
in
that
position.
N
Okay,
I
don't
have
a
problem
if
you
say
you're,
making
donation
ten
thousand
period,
but
do
not
use
that
word
support,
because
if
you
force
that,
then
I
will
work
with
my
other
community
leaders
to
get
her
that
ten
thousand
dollars
won't
we'll
indemnify
her
we'll
hold
her
harmless.
We
want
her
to
get
that
money,
but
I
think
the
understanding
is
that
receiving
the
funds
is
a
neutral
proposition.
N
It
doesn't
necessarily
it
doesn't
mean
opposition
and
it
doesn't
mean
support.
It's
just
mutual,
and
I
think
I
personally
am
okay
with
that,
and
I
do
want
her
to
get
the
money.
But
again,
please
don't
force
me
and
my
my
fellow
leaders
to
to
have
to
take
the
action
where
she's
gonna.
You
know,
I
think
she'll
she'll.
B
B
B
N
C
O
A
O
O
O
You
don't
even
know
who
the
new
owner
will
be.
You
don't
even
know
if
you'll
be
in
that
building.
If
they
don't
want
you
as
a
tenant
and
this
by
the
way
your
license
doesn't
go,
it
doesn't
get
transferred.
If
it's
on
this
building,
these
licenses
do
not
get
transferred
to
another
location.
That's
a
fact.
O
I
believe
that
this
project
has
so
many
so
many
more
processes,
just
the
historic
piece
alone.
Just
that
piece
you
have
to
get
approvals
from
the
boston
landmarks,
commission,
the
boston,
historic
commission.
It's
also,
as
you
mentioned
earlier,
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
you
did
it's
on
the
national
register
of
historic
places
and
it's
as
an
individual
building.
O
O
That's
not
going
to
be
what
you're
going
to
build
out,
so
I
don't
know
how
you
can
go
forward
and
keep
thinking.
This
is
going
to
be
a
recreational
marijuana
center
store
when
all
of
these
hurdles
haven't
even
been
looked
at
no
lease.
No
owner,
I
mean
it's.
Just
nothing
is
coming
together
the
community
pieces
here
as
well.
I
know
you,
I
know
you've
been
very
diligent
in
trying
to
get
to
as
many
groups
as
you
have
and
you
did
come
to
the
midtown
park,
plaza
neighborhood
association,
and
we
thank
you
for
that.
O
O
It's
right
behind
us
and
I
don't
think
that
you
have
all
of
your
ducks
anywhere
in
a
row
to
take
care
of
college
students
in
the
security
system
when
all
of
these
issues
that
I
brought
up
have
not
even
begun
to
be
tackled.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
I
look
forward
to
your
next
presentation.
When
maybe
you
can
answer
a
lot
more
of
these
questions,
but
thank
you
for
your
time
and
thank
you
for
the
to
the
chair
for
the
time
to.
Let
me
speak
thanks.
Lisa
and.
A
B
So
peggy
in
response,
I
have
a
binding
loi,
giving
me
rights
to
the
property.
While
I
go
through
the
city
municipality
processes
to
see,
if
I
can
get
licensed,
if
I,
if
I
can
get
licensed,
then
I
will
be
able
to
bring
on
a
real
estate
person
who
will
invest
in
to
the
building
for
its
monetary
needs
in
order
to
be
restored.
B
I've
learned
in
this
situation
that
I
need
to
have
a
license
for
a
profitable
business
before
anyone
is
going
to
put
any
money
into
this.
If
I
don't
get
licensed,
then
there's
no
project.
For
me,
I
am
protecting
my
team
and
our
finances
because
we
are
self-funded
from
family
and
friends,
no
investors
to
make
sure
that
if
we
get
licensed,
if
we
get
licensed,
we
can
move
forward.
If
we
don't,
then
we
don't
and
the
building
will
probably
stay
empty
and
it
will
not
be
restored,
and
who
knows
what
will
happen
to
it?
O
B
B
A
C
Thank
you
all.
I
know
these
meetings
are
very
sensitive
and
I
know
we
cannot
get
through
all
the
questions,
but
we
actually
got
through
most
of
them
and
I
just
wanted
to
read
learner
views,
comment
and
question.
He
wanted
to
ask
me
to
read
it.
There
are
many
homeless
people
wandering
around
chinatown.
C
H
Andrea,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
would
like
to
take
that
one.
I've
been
you
know,
doing
security
and
working
in
that
area
for
over
20
years,
and
I'm
also
a
drug
and
anger
management
council,
and
I
would
like
to
reassure
richard
and
peggy,
because
you
know
I've
dealt
with
kids
in
concerts
from
emerson
and
I
and
kids
from
around
that
neighborhood
and
even
some
of
the
older
kids.
H
H
Marijuana
wouldn't
be
a
problem
as
far
as
like
telling
someone
to
walk
away.
I
would
much
rather
deal
with
that
than
deal
with
someone
who
has
been
intoxicated
from
alcohol.
It's
just
anyone
who's
ever
dealt
with
any
type
of
security
would
inform
you
that
I
think
the
police
would
agree
with
me.
Also,
that's
just
my
opinion,
but
I
do
believe
they
would
I'll
allow
you
to
translate
that.
H
I
also
wanted
to
address
the
you
know
the
whole
thing
about
being
homeless
and
everything
else.
You
know,
there's
a
reason
why
I'm
so
passionate
about
you
know
when
I
did
do
drug
and
anger
management
counseling.
I
worked
with
the
elijah
baker
house.
I've
worked
with
a
caribbean
u-turn
which
is
no
longer
there.
H
C
Thank
you
just
wanted
to
state
that
I
know
there's
more
questions
and
will
be
more
questions
and
comments
later
on.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know.
This
is
an
open
period,
a
comment
period
and
that
you
have
still
have
a
lot
of
time
to
still
send
comments
to
the
board
or,
if
you
have
any
questions,
send
it
to
me
or
the
applicant
themselves,
and
we
will
coordinate
that
communication.
C
C
A
P
P
P
A
B
You
nancy,
if
I
may,
I
do
recognize
that
I
am
trying
to
locate
a
business
of
this
caliber
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
schools
and
residences,
and
they
also
are
located
in
a
metropolitan
city
where
everything
co-locates
together-
and
I
know
that
chinatown
I
do
recognize
chinatown
and
they
are
a
constituent
in
this.
As
I
have
hired
james
chan
from
day,
one
to
help
me
work
with
the
chinatown
community.
I've
attended
multiple
chinatown
meetings.
