A
So
good
afternoon
my
name
is
connor
newman,
I'm
the
mayor's
liaison
to
the
austin
bright
neighborhood.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight.
I'm
here
tonight
to
facilitate
this
statutorily
required
cannabis.
Community
outreach
hearing
this
application
by
pure
oasis
llc
is
applying
for
a
recreational
adult
use
cannabis
license,
it's
gonna
be
operated,
would
be
operated
at
535
washington
street
in
brighton.
Before
we
start
I'd
like
to
go
over
my
expectations
for
tonight's
meeting,
I
haven't
participated
in
multiple
meetings
of
this
kind.
I
know
this
can
be
a
sensitive
topic.
A
I
want
to
make
sure
that
notice.
I
want
to
hit
reiterate
that
no
decisions
are
being
made
tonight
and
in
no
time
will
be
acceptable
to
be
disrespectful
to
anyone.
During
this
meeting,
everyone
is
entitled
to
their
opinion.
There
is
no
right
or
wrong
opinion.
I
hear
tonight
try
to
collect
as
many
comments
as
possible
and
questions
for
this
proposal.
I'm
here
to
facilitate
this
process,
but
not
to
facilitate
debates.
If
your
neighbors
have
a
different
opinion
than
you,
I
ask
that
you
be
respectful.
A
A
This
is
an
open
comment
period,
meaning
that,
if
you
not
get
called
on
tonight
or
if
you
think
of
a
question
after
the
presentation,
all
you
need
to
do
is
reach
out
to
my
office,
and
we
will
work
to
get
you
that
information.
My
contact
information
has
been
included
on
the
flyer
that
you
received
to
attend
this
meeting.
It's
also
just
my
first
dot
last
name
boston.gov.
A
That
is
the
formula
for
all
city
employee
emails.
There
will
be
no
presentation.
Excuse
me
will
be
no
questions
during
the
presentation
once
the
presentation
has
concluded.
I
will
again
reiterate
my
expectations.
To
reiterate
this
is
not
a
debate
on
the
legalization
or
the
morality
of
marijuana.
That
debate
occurred
at
the
ballot
box
and
austin
bryant
voted
overwhelmingly
to
legalize
marijuana.
A
We're
here
to
talk
about
the
specific
location
in
the
specific
proposal,
the
applicant
will
go
through
the
presentation
in
a
timely
manner,
and
the
remainder
of
the
meeting
will
be
orderly
and
questions
and
comments
will
have
will
be
towards
the
end.
Thank
you
again
for
taking
the
time
to
participate
in
tonight's
meeting.
I
will
now
hand
it
over
to
the
applicant
for
the
presentation.
B
Hi
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'd
like
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
kobe
evans.
I
am
the
co-founder
of
boston's.
First
recreational
cannabis,
dispensary,
the
name
of
our
operation
is
pure
oasis.
We've
been
open
in
dorchester
for
a
little
over
a
year
we
originally
opened
on
march
9th
2020
right
before
the
pandemic.
B
A
D
A
B
A
A
A
B
B
E
B
No,
I
think
that's
google
docs,
I'm
not
sure.
I
don't
know
that
they'll
allow
him
to
do
it
from
yeah.
Let's
just
go
through
it
like
that:
connor,
okay,
so
yeah.
So
if
you
go
and
so
again
this
is
535
washington
street,
it's
the
former
swan
cleaners,
and
so
one
of
the
things
about
the
site
that
we
felt
would
be
a
good
fit
for
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
the
fact
that
it's
been
vacant
for
some
time.
B
It's
pretty
certainly
far
away
as
far
as
we're
concerned,
and
there
are
no
other
schools
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
we've
we've
learned
from
opening
up
in
grove
hall
that
we
have
to
do
our
homework
as
it
relates
to
impediments
in
the
neighborhood.
That
might
be
a
concern
to
the
neighborhood
or
might
be
outside
of
the
region,
zoning
for
cannabis,
and
so
what
you'll
see
in
the
map
is
that
again
there
aren't
any
schools
or
any
issues
with
any
areas
of
gathering
for
children
that
may
come
up
as
a
potential
zoning
issue.
B
B
E
B
If
you
walk
by,
you
would
not
be
able
to
see
what
is
happening
inside
or
any
activity
to
that
nature.
The
next
slide
is
a
rendering
of
what
the
renovated
inside
of
the
dispensary
will
look
like.
This
is
the
departure
of
what
we're
doing
in
grove
hall
in
grove
hall.
When
we
opened
a
dispensary,
we
were
the
first
to
do
it
in
the
state.
We
were
the
first
economic
empowerment
applicants
and
we
were
the
first
to
have
a
minority
owned
dispensary
on
the
east
coast.
B
We
also
didn't
have
a
lot
of
money
to
open
that
first
dispensary.
So
our
budget
was
slim.
We
did
a
lot
of
the
work
ourselves,
but
going
forward.
What
we're
looking
to
do
is
not
only
renovate
grove
hall,
but
also
to
kind
of
step
up
our
game
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
branding
and
design
elements.
So
this
is
the
rendering
of
what
it
would
look
like
inside
the
new
shop.
B
What
we're
going
to
see
across
boston
and
across
the
states
as
more
and
more
dispensaries
open
is
the
fact
that
there
won't
be
the
kind
of
traffic
that
people
witnessed
in
northampton
back
in
2019
when
cannabis
shops
first
opened,
and
you
had
people
from
multiple
states
in
the
state
of
massachusetts
converging
on
one
town.
So
what
this
depiction
this
rendering
represents
is
the
fact
that
this
would
probably
be.
B
This
will
probably
be
one
of
the
smaller
shops
in
boston,
because
the
model
is
moving
towards
more
of
neighborhood
locations
versus
the
netas
in
the
bigger
locations.
Kind
of
you
know
compared
to
what
we
have
in
grove
hall.
Our
anticipation
is
that
the
foot
traffic
is
going
to
be
nominal.
Therefore,
I
think
on
this
one
we
only
have
no
more
than
five
registers.
B
So
this
is
just
a
little
bit
about
kevin,
and
I-
and,
as
I
mentioned
you
know,
pure
oasis
is
a
locally
owned
company
where
minority
owned
and
we're
the
first
designated
economic
empowerment
dispensary
to
open
in
the
states
that
wasn't
our
goal.
When
we
launched
this
endeavor,
we
grew.
I
grew
up
in
boston.
B
So
again,
just
to
touch
on
a
little
more.
You
know
we
opened
in
march
of
2020.
We
had
the
mayor
at
our
grand
opening.
We
had
numerous
elected
officials,
and
it
was
symbolic
and
in
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
I
think,
as
it
relates
to
brighton,
the
symbolism
was
represented
by
the
fact
that
we
were
opening
a
dispensary
in
a
busy
part
of
the
city,
the
first
dispensary
in
a
major
city,
and
we
have
the
support
of
the
city.
B
And
so
we
have
perfected
and
created
relationships
with
experts
to
help
us
be
the
best
that
we
could
possibly
be
at
running
an
operation
and
we
have
a
proven
track
record
and
so
we're
we're
pleased
that
we
can
venture
into
brighton
and
to
bring
that
expertise,
because
what
it
means
is
that
there's
not
going
to
be
that
kind
of
learning
as
we
grow.
We
are
bringing
that
expertise
to
understand
what
potentially
could
become
a
problem
and
address
issues
before
they
mushroom
next
slide.
B
B
B
When
we
first
looked
at
opening
grove
hall,
one
of
the
fir
one
of
the
major
issues
that
community
members
had
was
very
obvious
and
it
was,
are
people
going
to
be
smoking
weed
out
on
the
street,
and
we
were
very
concerned
about
it,
because
a
lot
of
people
equate
cannabis
dispensaries
with
liquor
stores
and
liquor
stores
sell
nips.
And
you
know.
Sometimes
you
have
a
situation
where
a
neighborhood
is
inundated
by
people
who
will
drink
and
hang
out
and
they'll
loiter.
B
And
so
we
were
super
sensitive
to
this
potential
issue,
because
the
last
thing
that
we
wanted
was
to
be
kind
of
detrimental
and
bring
a
bad
element
to
a
neighborhood.
And
so
we
had
a
lot
of
protocols
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
going
to
cause
any
issues
in
the
neighborhood
and
to
our
surprise,
and-
and
maybe
it
was
more
of
the
planning-
is
that
we
actually
have
had
no
issues
with
loitering
in
the
last.
You
know
year
since
we've
been
open,
cannabis
is
such
that
people
come.
B
They
want
to
get
in
as
quickly
as
possible,
purchase
and
get
out
as
quickly
as
possible
and
go
home
and
about
their
way.
I
guess
there's
some
misconceptions
in
terms
of
people
hanging
out
and
smoking.
We
have
had
no
issues
and
see
no
issues
of
loitering,
and
so
we
were
very
prepared
to
deal
with
it.
B
B
You
have
no
idea
what's
going
on
inside
and
we
want
to
we,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
there
is
no
opportunity
for
someone
to
purchase
cannabis
and
transfer
that
to
someone
under
age,
and
so
we
track
how
much
we
sell
to
any
individual
person
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
consuming
more
than
a
lot.
The
purchasing
more
than
the
law
allows,
and
we
also
have
the
ability
to
go
back
and
figure
out
who
we
sold.
B
A
lot
of
our
supervisors
started
off
as
security
guards,
and
you
know
we
saw
something
in
them
and
we
elevated
them
through
different
promotions
and
whether
they
ended
up
being
a
supervisor
or
assistant
general
manager
or
even
a
general
manager.
We
like
to
hire
within
we
like
to
train
we
like
to
promote.
B
We
like
to
find
you
know:
people
who
haven't
necessarily
had
a
fair
chance
in
you
know
maybe
a
corporate
environment,
but
does
well
in
a
retail
cannabis
environment.
So
we
we,
we
like
people
who
you
know
have
been
rejected
from
from
other
jobs,
and
we
would
like
to
try
and
give
them
opportunities
and
a
lot
of
it
a
lot
of
times
it
works
out,
and
so
we're
happy
about
that.
You
know
we
have
people
who
walk
to
work.
B
B
Social
justice
is
a
key
word
that
kind
of
goes
hand
in
hand
with
a
lot
of
cannabis
businesses,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
currently
incarcerated,
for
you
know,
possessing
weed
or
selling
weed
and
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
turning
into
a
billion
dollar
market,
and
so
we
have
to
be
responsible,
as
as
as
owners
of
pure
oasis,
to
give
back
and
to
understand
that
pure
oasis
is
a
socially
conscious
business.
In
that
we
have.
B
B
This
information,
this
this
presentation
is
is,
is
part
of
our
community
outreach,
and
so
we
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
pure
oasis,
but
more
so
we
want
to
hear
from
community
members
and
and
understand
what
some
of
the
concerns
are
and
to
speak
to
those
concerns.
So
at
this
time,
we'd
love
to
open
it
up
and
and
have
connor
moderate
the
session
and
hear
more
from
community
members
to
to
to
really
understand
what
their
take
on
it.
A
Is
great,
thank
you
so
yeah
we'll
open
up
for
questions
and
comments.
We
have
plenty
of
time
before
that,
though
I
just
want
to
give
recognition
to.
We
have
a
couple
of
representatives
from
elected
officials
offices.
We
have
jen
migliore
from
rep
moran's
office
and
we
have
wayne
from
councillor
braden's
office.
If
I
am
overlooking
anyone,
we
have
48
attendees
right
now
up.
My
apologies
please
reach
out,
and
I
will
also
give
you
a
shout
out
as
well.
A
F
Yes
good
evening,
mr
evans
and
mr
hart,
I
live
on
green
mail,
road
and
my
house
abuts
the
parking
lot
that
goes
to
the
apartment
building
and
I
have
several
concerns.
My
first
concern
is
the
traffic
you
said
that
you
wanted
to.
You
were
concerned
about
the
beautification
of
the
neighborhood,
and
my
concern
with
the
traffic
is
right.
F
Now
we
contend
with
boston
college,
boston,
university,
northeastern,
harvard
suffolk,
all
of
the
colleges
and
with
the
traffic
in
this
area,
because
of
the
student
population
is
considerable
often
times
you
can't
even
get
out
of
the
street.
I
can't
I
can't
go
from
gray
mare
road
to
washington
street
without
sitting
for
a
significant
period
of
time,
so
I'm
I'm
extremely
concerned
about
the
traffic.
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
car
accidents.
F
I've
lived
on
the
street
for
over
35
years
there
have
been
several
car
accidents
due
to
the
corner,
the
way
that
washington
street
sort
of
bends
with
the
buses
and
traffic.
Currently
we
deal
with
the
two
businesses
that
are
on
the
opposite
corner.
One
specifically
oftentimes
has
a
big
tractor
trailer,
delivering
goods
or
whatever
to
that
that
business
and
so
there's
oftentimes
people
are
trying
to
go
around
that
that
big
tractor
trailer
and
and
it's
difficult
to
see
so,
I'm
concerned
about
the
car
accidents.
F
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
schools.
You
said
there
were
no
schools
in
the
area,
yet
there
are
actually
three:
there
is
the
garfield,
the
mary
lyons
and
then
over
on
lake
street
is
the
edison.
Also,
the
ymca
has
a
program
that
sponsors
after-school
programs.
They
sponsor
halloween
parties,
they
sponsor
holiday
and
birthday
parties,
so
there
are
children
in
the
area
all
of
the
time,
not
including
those
that
live
here.
F
H
Okay,
you
can
hear
me
now
yeah,
I
mean
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
concerns
about
that.
The
last
speaker
brought
up,
so
I
I
won't
go
through
them
all,
but
for
us
it's
the
parking
parking
parking,
we're
just
around
the
corner
and
regularly
get
blocked
in
our
driveway,
with
people
parking
to
visit
the
businesses
that
are
already
there,
and
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
a
nice
presentation
and
thanks
to
the
presenter,
but
it
didn't
address
that
issue
at
all.
H
H
A
B
The
hard
part
about
parking
is
that
the
volume
is
predicated
on
the
number
of
cannabis
dispensaries
that
are
open
across
the
city
and
so
right
now,
for
instance,
you
know
you
have
boston,
has
pure
oasis,
it
has
seed
and
there
will
probably
be
another
three
before
the
end
of
the
year.
So
as
you
get
more
and
more
dispensaries
open
that
pulls
away
from
the
demand
at
any
one
particular
dispensary.
B
Our
plan
is
that
we
aren't
competing
with
people
from
austin.
We
are
competing
with
people
from
the
boston
university,
we're
looking
at
being
a
neighborhood
dispensary
similar
to
the
liquor,
store
two
blocks
down
and
in
grove
hall.
What
we're
seeing
that
we
believe
will
be
the
new
model
is
more
people
will
come
from
within
the
neighborhood
and
we're
not
looking
to
attract
from
outside
the
neighborhood,
and
ultimately,
there
will
be
dispensaries
down
the
road
in
austin
down
the
road
in
brighton
center
down
the
road
near
new
balance.
B
You'll
have
every
neighborhood
has
their
own
dispensary,
where
you
take
your
dog
for
a
walk.
You
stop
in
at
the
dispensary
on
your
way
home
and
so
we're
we're
intentionally
not
looking
to
pull
from
any
other
neighborhood.
Then
people
who
are
in
walking
distance
or
bike
ride
from
the
current
storm
cleaners.
A
B
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
from
grove
hall
that
we
would
probably
do
in
brighton
is
to
have
hours
of
operation
from
10
to
10..
What
that
does
is
that
it's
right.
It
spreads
out
your
customer
base,
so
you're
not
getting
a
concentration
of
customers
at
any
one
particular
time
it
gives
people
the
flexibility
to
stop
in
when
it's
convenient.
I
I
It's
two
ways
and
what
happens
is
a
lot
of
times
when
people
are
trying
to
find
a
parking
space,
they'll
keep
circling
and
circling
and
langley
road
is
a
family,
a
lot
of
families
living
on
the
street
and
with
the
kind
of
parking
problems
that
we
already
have,
which
are
extremely
severe.
I'm
I'm
very
dubious
about
you
know
it
being
just
a
walk-in,
neighborhood
establishment.
A
Great,
thank
you
I
so
I'm
going
to
call
the
next
person
folks
that
I
am
calling
on
with
your
hands
raised
after
you
finish
your
question
or
comment:
could
you
please
lower
your
hand
it'll
make
my
life
a
lot
easier
and
I'll
be
able
to
call
on
your
neighbors
a
lot
quicker
irene.
I
see
you
have
your
hand
raised.
I'm
going
to
mute
you
now
if
you'd
like
to
go
ahead.
J
J
J
My
second
concern
is
the
volume
of
customers
that
you
will
get
and
having
tenants
see
that
from
their
window
is
to
me
it's
not
a
site
that
you
want
to
see
when
you're
paying
high
rents
in
that
area
to
see
a
line
full
of
people
coming
in
and
out
all
hours
of
the
day.
That's
my
second
concern.
My
third
concern
is
the
parking
parking's
always
been
an
issue.
J
What
was
my
other
concern?
Your
other
store
that
you
have
in
boston.
What's
its
location?
Is
it
in
a
residential
area
or
is
it
more
of
a
commercial
area,
because
I'm
not
opposed
to
you
guys
coming
in
with
it's
just
being
in
a
residential
area
where
owners
are
paying
high
real
estate
taxes
and
tenants
of
paying
high
rents?
J
Is
it
okay?
You
know
that's
my
concern
is:
should
you
be
located
in
a
residential
air
with
families?
I
know
the
college.
Kids
are
gonna
love
you
guys.
I
know
my
kids
would
love
you
and
my
sons
actually
have
bought
from
their
friends
that
have
you
know
medicinal
licenses,
and
I
see
these
big
jars
of
cannabis
in
my
house
and
I'm
just
like.
Oh
my
god,
what
are
you
doing
mom,
but
it's
coming
from
a
reputable
place.
You
know,
don't
you
care
that
we
have
good
stuff,
I'm
like
get
it
out.
J
So
that's
my
other
concern.
I
do
like
that.
You're
gonna
monitor
each
client
as
far
as
how
much
they
can
purchase,
but
I've
seen
big
mason
jars
in
my
house
from
their
friends
that
have
licenses.
So
it's
not
that
I'm
opposed
to
you.
It's
my
it's
the
traffic
and
the
kids
and
our
tenants
that
pay
a
lot
of
money.
That's
my
concern
and
the
elderly
population
that's
around
there
as
well.
A
B
Yeah,
so
growth
hall
is,
you
know,
probably
one
of
the
it's
up
there
in
terms
of
older
neighborhood,
it's
a
mixed-use
neighborhood
it
has
a
supermarket,
has
a
dunkin
donut.
It
has
maybe
it's
a
little
similar
to
oak
square.
It
probably
doesn't
have
as
many
businesses,
but
it
does
where
we
are
now
does
have
a
considerable
amount
of
businesses.
B
A
K
Oh
okay,
thank
you,
connor
and
thank
you
kobe
and
kevin
for
giving
up
this
presentation,
but
I
must
say,
as
a
person
who
is,
I
am
one
street
away
from
this
proposed
site.
I
live
at
oak
square
out
and
I
live
right
behind
the
shops
that
are
on
washington
street
in
our
block
and
then
between
oak
square
ab
and
fairbanks
street
are
three
more
businesses
and
then
at
fairbanks
up.
There
are
three
more
businesses,
so
I
do
kobe
take
a
perception
to
your
categorizing.
K
This
is
being
a
kind
of
blighted
area,
as
you
said,
it's
kind
of
blighted
in
this
area.
That
is
not
the
case
at
all.
We
are
a
residential
neighborhood
and
it
is
fairly
busy
with
the
commercial
properties
that
are
already
here,
and
I've
lived
here
for
35
years,
and
I
have
to
reiterate
what
particularly
barbara
and
sheila
said
and
leanne
about
parking.
K
I've
had
many
businesses
in
the
block
in
front
of
me
that
have
completely
over
parked
right
down
oaks,
grav
right
in
front
of
my
driveway.
Sometimes
I
couldn't
get
out
of
my
driveway
and
there
was
a
lot
of
double
parking,
especially
when
we
had
paris
restaurant
there
and
many
many
cab
drivers
came
from
all
over
the
city
to
go
to
that
business
and
for
takeout,
and
it
was
a
nightmare.
K
This
is
not
a
good
location
for
your
business
and
when
you
were
talking
about,
maybe
grove
hall
is
a
little
more
like
brighton
center
and
not
quite
like
oak
square.
My
question
to
you
is:
why
aren't
you
going
to
brighton
center?
There
are
empty
businesses
in
brighton
center
and
also
there's
parking
and
it's
a
business
neighborhood.
K
A
C
A
M
L
L
L
L
There's
children
and
you
have
all
the
students
from
boston
in
that
area
being
open
from
10
to
10
is
basically
being
open
all
the
time,
and
this
will
attract
a
very
different
clientele
to
an
area
that
has
worked
very
hard
to
become
a
lot
more
family
and
community
focused-
and
I
know
one
of
you
compared
this
to
a
liquor
store
and
I
understand
that
traditionally
liquor
store
will
attract.
You
know
some
problematic
clientele,
but
at
least
there's
some
variety
in
the
liquor
store.
Where
not
everybody
that's
coming.
L
There
is
looking
to
get
high
and
I
understand
there's
some
assumptions
with
that,
but
that
also
creates
risk
to
the
children,
the
elderly
people
in
that
area.
So
I
would
have
to
agree
with
what
deborah
said.
I
wish
you
the
best
of
luck,
but
this
really
is
not
the
right
community
for
this
kind
of
a
store
and
industry.
N
Hi,
yes,
sorry,
I'm
doing
this
from
work.
I
apologize
no
worries.
I
echo
the
concerns
of
people
as
far
as
this
being
the
right
location,
I'm
I
live
on
langley
road
as
well.
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
lack
of
parking,
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
density
of
the
neighborhood
and
this
very
much
being
a
neighborhood,
and
I
appreciate
that.
N
I
think
this
would
be
much
better
suited
in
an
area
like
brighton
center,
where
it's
much
more,
where
it's
much
more
commercial
and
not
so
residential
as
an
aside-
and
this
may
have
nothing
to
do
with
anything.
But
I'm
curious
that
swan
cleaners
was
there
for
many
many
years
and
has
there
been
anything
that
has
occurred
to
make
that
location
suitable
for
other
habitation
other
than
a
dry
cleaners
like?
I
was
very
concerned
about
the
chemicals
potentially
in
that
building
and
whether
or
not
that
was
actually
sufficiently
dealt
with.
A
B
Yeah,
so
we
are
also
in
the
process
of
potentially
purchasing
that
property,
and
we
have
done
some
environmental
testing
and
right
now,
this
site
is
suitable
for
commercial
use.
I
don't
think
it
would
be
suitable
for
anything
residential,
but
it
is
suitable
for
a
commercial
use
such
as
you
know,
cannabis,
retail
operation.
A
M
M
M
M
If
more
people
move
out
of
the
neighborhood
because
of
crime
and
our
store
livelihood
will
go
down,
I
mean
we
already
had
losses
from
corona
virus,
so
we
don't
want
any
more
in
terms
of
the
health
consequences.
They're
also
immense
for
kids
and
adults.
The
increased
risk
of
motor
vehicle
accidents,
biking
accidents
and
lack
of
attention
just
to
name
a
few
problems.
M
H
M
Anxiety
and
distrust
and
panic
in
the
community-
and
these
were
just
a
few
effects
of
the
marijuana
according
to
the
national
institute
of
drug
abuse,
they
also
state
that
those
who
do
drugs
increase
their
chances
of
trying
other
drugs.
So
this
is
not
just
about
having
marijuana.
You
could
invite
other
things.
Also.
M
Recent
research
suggests
that
smoking
high
potency
marijuana
every
day
could
increase
the
chances
of
developing
psychosis
by
nearly
five
times
compared
to
people
who
have
never
had
marijuana
before
and
finally,
they
raised
concern
about
exposure
to
vulnerable
populations
such
as
children
and
people
with
asthma.
So
this
is
a
problem.
A
health
problem
as
well,
ultimately
addictive
marijuana
could
further
contribute
to
the
plan
which
I
mentioned
already.
M
Dependence
or
brain
altering
substances
for
kids
can
also
decrease
the
overall
morale
of
the
community
and
decrease
the
education
status
quo,
which
is
the
ideology
of
boston
as
a
high
school
community
high
school
area.
Also,
there
are
other
horrifying
aspects
to
marijuana
which
passes
through
breastfeeding
milk
to
babies
and
finally,
also.
A
O
O
The
57
bus
goes
right
in
front
of
it
and
do
you
plan
on
telling
your
customers
that
the
57
bus
is
an
easy
way
to
access
the
location,
because
that
would
help
bu
students
greatly,
because
the
57
bus
goes
right
through
there.
I've
hated
seeing
the
empty
location
for
years
and
I'm
thrilled
that
people
are
looking
to
revitalize
the
location
and
bring
more
people
to
our
lovely
neighborhood.
I
love
this
neighborhood.
K
A
B
Yeah
so
I
mean
just
today,
I
was
down
at
the
shop
and
there
was
a
girl
in
line
with
a
blue
bike.
People
have
taken
the
bus
from
you,
know,
parts
of
the
city.
I
think
that
what
we
have
to
understand
is
that
cannabis
is
a
recreational
drug
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
visit
pure
oasis,
who
have
undiagnosed
medical
issues,
and
so
it
becomes
more
of
a
need
for
people
to
deal
with
anxiety
or
medical
issues,
and
so
people
it's
it's
it's.
B
It
becomes
more
of
a
need,
and
so
people
will
find
a
way
whether
they
walk
whether
they
run
whether
they
bite,
whether
they
take,
whether
they
take
a
car
sharing
or
whether
they
take
a
bus.
But
people
do
leave
the
shop,
get
on
the
bus
and
head
back
home
and
and
what
we
try
and
do
is
promote
alternatives
to
driving
whether
it
be
walking,
or
I
think
I
saw
three
skateboards
in
the
shop
today.
You
know
people
people
find
alternatives
to
using
cars
to
get
to
the
shop.
A
P
P
You
know
a
lot
of
my
friends.
You
know,
use
marijuana
regularly
and
they're
all
pretty
successful.
You
know
just
regular
working
people
and-
and
I
I
think
that
in
general,
maybe
some
of
the
you
know
the
average
customer
seems
to
be
misunderstood
a
little
bit
on
on
this
call.
But
overall
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
voice
my
support
for
your
business.
I
think
that
it's
great
that
somebody's
you
know
trying
to
revitalize
the
swan
dry
cleaning
space.
P
E
Q
There's
been
some
fatal
accidents
over
the
years
and
it's
hard
to
negotiate
in
the
winter
time
with
the
snow
getting
around
that
corner
there's
nowhere
to
park,
I'm
not
against
your
business
at
all.
I
think
alcohol
is
worse
than
marijuana,
but
I
don't
think
we
really
need
it
in
that
location.
There's
no
parking
in
and
those
stores
are
also
destination
stores
for
people
looking
to
get
high.
Q
R
You
pronounced
that
right,
so
I
will
actually
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
father,
so
we
have
lived
here
in
this
location
since
I
believe
2010,
and
I
guess
our
concerns
really
echo.
What
everyone
else
is
really
is
it's
it's.
It's
the
parking,
it's
honestly,
a
pain
in
the
ass
to
find
parking
here
as
a
resident
and
all
the
stores
that
are
along
washington
street.
Everyone
kind
of
just
you
know,
places
their
order.
Double
parks
runs
in
and
grabs
it
and
leaves
our
concern
with
that.
R
Is
you
know
with
with
another?
You
know
big
store
as
yours.
Opening
up
at
that
location,
it
will
just
increase
the
amount
of
cars
that
are,
you
know,
double
parked
there
or
parking
spots
that
you
know
would
typically
go
to.
Residentials
would
be
taken
up
and,
as
as
dan
has
said,
that
street
or
that's
you
know
specific
corner,
there's
a
lot
of
heavy
traffic
there,
especially
during
rush
hour
buses.
They
fly
down
that
corner.
R
I
have
rode
that
bus
my
whole
family
rides
that
bus
we
cross
that
street
very
very
frequently
and
buses
really
just
fly
down
it
and
you,
you
know,
maybe
won't
be
able
to
see
that
as
often
now
due
to
you
know,
everyone
working
from
home
due
to
covid,
but
you
know
when
life
does
return
back
to
normal
and
people
do
start
commuting
again.
It's
just
an
awful
streak
to
drive
up
and
down
on,
and
just
with
the
increase
of
you
know,
customers
coming
down
to
this
part
of
the
neighborhood
yeah.
G
A
Thank
you
ava,
so
I
believe
the
numbers
that
I've
seen
because
it's
it's
linked
to
the
number
of
liquor
licenses
in
the
city
of
boston,
the
number
I've
heard
is,
is
eventually
there'd
be
around
52
marijuana
dispensaries.
I
don't
have
an
exact
number
of
how
many
would
hypothetically
be
in
the
austin
brighton
neighborhood
with
the
half-mile
buffer.
That
would
kind
of
block
off
a
lot
of
space,
so
very
likely,
as
I
explained
to
another
resident
today,
the
email
there
would
be
more.
G
But
there
are
several
that
are
being
proposed
and
a
few
of
them
have
already
been
approved
and
the
presenter
mr
evans
mentioned
earlier,
that
he
anticipates
that
there
will
be
more
stores,
so
the
clientele
will
be
able
to
go
to
the
local
store
and
they
won't
be
coming
to
somebody
in
else's
neighborhood
and-
and
I'm
just
you
know
wondering
it
I
mean.
Are
we
supposed
to
accept
that
we
are
going
to
have
marijuana
stores
every
few
blocks
in
austin
brown?
A
So
that's
a
question.
That's
a
very
good
question.
I'd
have
to
check
in
with
the
boston
cannabis
board.
I
don't
know
if
that
license
increases.
Like
you
said
with
that
inflate
the
numbers
of
cannabis
establishments,
you
know
regarding
every
couple
of
blocks.
There
is
right
now
the
existing
buffer
that
they
have
to
be
spaced
out
at
least
half
a
mile.
A
A
G
Right,
okay,
that
would
be
helpful.
Thank
you.
I
I
just
want
to
register
my
feelings
about
this
whole
issue.
I
am
adamantly
opposed
to
glamorizing
marijuana
use.
Some
people
are
not
susceptible
to
addiction,
but
many
people
are
and
when
the
what
the
presenter
mr
evans
said
earlier,
that
it
becomes
a
need
for
certain
users,
you
know
to
come
and
get
it
to
count
their
anxieties.
G
That
need
is
often
an
addiction,
and
I
don't
think
that
the
city
should
be
in
the
business
of
promoting
addictions
of
any
kind,
and
it
was
very
disappointing
to
see
in
the
globe
today
an
article
about
acting
mayor
kim
janey.
Essentially,
soliciting
donations
from
the
marijuana
industry
interpret
entrepreneurs.
You
know
it's.
We
are
a
city
of
very
diverse
people.
G
In
some
cultures,
marijuana
use
can
be
okay
and
nobody
has
a
problem
with
it.
But
I
come
from
a
culture
where
any
drug
use
is
frowned
upon
and
and
it
bugs
me,
I
don't
want
young
people
in
my
neighborhood
to
be
walking
up
and
down
the
street
or
congregating
in
our
town
center
or
smoking.
In
my
neighbor
neighbor's
yard.
You
know,
rental
houses
have
the
tenants
that
may
be
smoking
in
their
backyards
and
the
the
stench
will
be
wafting
to
other
people's
homes.
G
I
know
nobody
wants
to
listen
because
you
know
the
politicians
are
on
board,
so
we
have
to
get
on
board,
but
I
am
not
getting
on
board
and
I
hope
that
other
people
won't
either
they're
just
last
question.
This
is
a
public
meeting
connor.
So
if
you
know
when
someone
calls
in-
and
they
just
say,
oh
I
live
here-
we
have
no
way
of
verifying
that
this
is
actually
true.
Can
you
be?
A
Yes,
so
I
can
answer
that
regarding
asking
people
to
identify
where
they
live.
That
is
not
a
requirement
in
our
public
meetings
and
it
never
has
been,
and
I
don't
I
don't-
anticipate
changing
it
here
tonight
regarding
the
format
of
being
able
to
see
other
applicants,
you
know
typically,
as
if
you've
attended
other
meetings
that
I've
hosted
regarding
a
number
of
issues,
I
typically
use
the
webex
format
for
meetings.
G
A
G
A
S
A
S
S
I've
seen
I've
witnessed
three
accidents.
People
getting
hit
by
cars
right
on
washington
and
the
parking
is
is,
is
really
an
issue
around
here.
Now.
What
I
see
is
we
have
three
bus
lines,
two
express
buses
and
the
57
in,
and
everyone
going
and
coming
from,
the
mass
pike
exit,
17
comes
through
oak
square
and
living
on
the
corner
of
washington
and
oscar
ave,
the
all
the
traffic
coming
from
cambridge
on
the
other
side
of
the
river.
They
tend
to
come
down,
soldiers,
fear
road,
brook
street
and
oaks.
Grav
is
a
cut
through.
S
S
My
issues
are
in
what
I
see
is
I'm
the
guy
that
I
love
this
neighborhood.
As
I
mentioned,
I've
been
here
30
years
today,
I
picked
up
a
box
in
this
in
the
middle
of
the
street
of
washington
street.
I'm
the
guy
who's
goes
out
there
and
picks
it
up.
I
sweep
the
sidewalk
cigarette
butts,
so
I
truly
do
care
about
our
neighborhood.
S
You
wouldn't
believe
the
amount
of
times
people
come
off
the
bus
and
urinate
in
our
driveway.
I
know
this
is
weird
litter.
The
bc
students
come
down,
they
beer
cans
and
that
night
and
stuff-
and
so
I've
been
to
the
brookline
dispensary
and
I
don't
oppose
marijuana.
I
don't
oppose
the
sensories
at
all.
I
agree
with
them.
It's
just
not
the
right.
Neighborhood,
the
brookline
dispensary
I've
actually
been
there.
The
traffic
was
horrendous
mike.
I
have
a
question:
do
you?
Will
you
have
a
detailed
police
officer
there?
S
Do
you
suspect
that
that's
one
question
I
had
the
parking
is
just
crazy:
the
buses
do
fly
by
there's
no
crosswalks
on
this
street
and
everyone's
double
parked.
People
are
parked
in
my
driveway.
I've
had
to
have
them
towed,
they
blocked
my
driveway
and
yeah.
You
mentioned
the
newbery
nubria
factory
outlet,
newbie
new
balance.
I
think
that's
a
great
area,
you
know,
I
just
don't
think
oak
square
is
the
right
area
for
this.
S
A
B
B
Netta
was
the
first
dispensary
in
eastern
massachusetts
and
brookline
mandated
that
they
had
a
detail.
If
you
drive
by
nine
times
out
of
the
ten,
the
detail
is
standing
around
talking
to
another
security
guard,
but
in
terms
of
actually
having
a
real
function,
it
was
more
of
a
mandate
than
a
need,
and
I
think
we,
you
know
the
reality
is
is
like
you
said
there
will
be.
B
You
know
close
to
50
dispensaries
in
boston
and
every
neighborhood
will
have
at
least
one,
if
not
multiple,
and
so
there
will
not
be
people
coming
from
brookline
to
pass
neta
to
go
to.
You
know
535
washington
street.
Ultimately,
everyone
will
be
insulated
in
their
own
neighborhood
and
have
similar
to
their
own
liquor,
store
own
corner,
store
owned
coffee
shop
in
that
neighborhood
that
they
aren't
traveling
far
distances
to
go
for
much.
B
T
T
T
I
do
support
and
I
voted
for
marijuana,
but
it's
just
not
a
good
area
to
put
it
in
so
again,
and
also
no
one
mentioned
property
values,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
going
to
happen
with
property
values,
but
I
don't
know
if
people
just
want
to
say
yep,
I'm
going
to
buy
a
house
where
there's
more
traffic
parking
is
an
issue
and
all
this
other
stuff.
So
those
are
my
concerns.
I
just
wanted
to
support
the
people
who
oppose
it.
U
Hi
yeah,
I
live
at
langley
road
in
brighton
actually,
and
it's
right
when
you
walk
down
langley
roger
right
in
there
in
front
of
the
proposed
dispensary,
and
I
totally
opposed
it
even
though
I
actually
supported
marijuana
did
we
voted
for
it
because
we
believe
that
people
should
be
able
to
use
it
for
health
reasons,
and
but
we
actually
also
like
support
mr
hart
and
nesser
evans
for
their
sincere
thoughts
about
bringing
social
justice
and
employment
for
people.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
know
you've
been
grow,
paul
dorchester!
U
You
you
try
to
do
that.
That's
great!
Thank
you,
but
we
just
definitely
do
not
think
this
area
is
the
right
area.
It's
the
residential
area.
It's
not
grove
hall.
You
know
in
dorchester
it's
a
residential
area.
People
will
live
here
with
their
children.
There's
so
many
schools
around
here,
and
I
guess
maybe
you
don't
know
about
the
neighborhood
so
much
because
you
thought
there's
no
school.
There
are
several
schools
here.
There
are
colleges
here.
U
There
are
young
people
in
here
and
the
traffic,
as
everybody
has
mentioned,
I'm
not
going
to
go
on
and
on
the
traffic
is
horrific.
Parking
is
horrific.
Often
we
come
home.
We
cannot
find
parking
a
lot
of
time.
We
see
people
from
out
of
town
parking
on
langley
road.
It's
it's
really
frustrating
that
we
cannot
park
around
here.
We
don't
have
a
driveway,
but
we
see
people
from
out
of
there
out
of
the
state
or
I
don't.
U
You
know
neighborhood
parking
in
here
and
go
you
know,
shopping,
and
you
know
I
hate
to
tell
you
that
a
lot
of
businesses
here
they
open
up
and
they
close
down.
They
go
bankrupt
because
their
parking
issue.
So
I
we
we
suppose
we
really
opposed
having
this
dispensary
in
there.
Maybe
you
can
go.
Actually.
I
think
it's
a
great
area
idea
to
think
about
new
balance,
because
there's
a
lot
of
space
in
there
and
that's
a
great
place
in
here
and
parking
is
easy
in
there
and
thank
you
thank
you.
U
V
Hi
I'm
liz
king.
My
husband
is
right
here.
I
wanted
to
ask:
how
long
is
the
person
usually
in
the
store
at
a
time?
And
that
being
the
case,
why
can't
you
use
the
parking
spot,
that's
behind
the
building
and
if
there's
a
short
amount
of
time,
then
it
would
probably
be
fine
to
use
that
building,
because
people
are
only
there
for
in
and
out.
If
you
could
get
answer
those
questions,
sir.
C
I've
actually
been
talking
the
entire
time.
It's
just.
I
realized
my.
I
was
on
mute.
I'm
sorry,
let
me
know
so
our
usual
turnaround
time
all
told,
is
about
seven
minutes
so
and
and
that
takes
into
consideration,
wait
time
and
then
actual
time
at
the
register.
So
you
know
we
pride
ourselves
on
our
operations
and
our
throughput
and
because
of
that,
we've
actually
gotten
it
down
to
like
seven
minutes,
which
you
know,
we
think
is
almost
unheard
of
in
these
types
of
businesses.
A
B
B
A
D
Thank
you,
connor.
We
live
on
oak
square
avenue,
and
the
traffic
here
is
terrific
and
people
I
think,
are
directed
down
here
by
gps,
and
so
our
street
is
a
real
thoroughfare
when
you
get
to
washington
street.
On
top
of
that,
you
have
to
turn
left
to
get
to
what
is
now
swam
or
what
was
swan
cleaners.
That's
an
awful
left
turn
there
are
cars
parked
on
washington
street,
it's
very
difficult
to
see,
but
that's
what
people
will
have
to
do?
D
I
would
prefer
that
we're
in
brighton
center,
where
there
is
more
parking
available.
It's
just
this
neighborhood
is
just
too
congested,
as
it
is
too
many
accidents,
and
you
know
people
block
driveways
and
everything
else.
It's
just
not
just
not
doable
the
point
of
view
of
a
resident,
but
thank
you
for
entertaining
a
question.
W
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
am
julie
kenny.
I
live
on
langley
road,
which
is
directly
across
from
swan
cleaners,
and
I
just
want
to
say
in
general
that
I
oppose
the
location
and
I
do
have
a
question.
One
is
how
many
employees
do.
You
typically
have
in
the
store
at
one
time,
and
where
do
you
think
they're
going
to
be
parking?
W
Washington
traffic
is
just
always
a
huge,
huge
issue
and
then,
with
the
mobility
study,
that's
happening
in
austin
and
brighton
and
the
the
proposal
to
possibly
remove
parking
from
part
of
faneuil
street
is
going
to.
You
know
just
tighten
that
up
even
more
for
this
street
for
all
all
surrounding
streets
in
that
area,
and
then
also
you
know
the
construction
of
the
the
mass
turnpike.
I
mean
that
whole
construction
project
is
just
gonna
pour
traffic
into
austin
brighton.
Trying
to
you
know
avoid
that
area.
W
I
know:
that's,
not
your
country,
it's
not
under
your
control,
but
I
just
think
this
is
you're,
really
putting
a
commercial
business
into
a
residential
area.
There's
houses
directly
abutting
this
this
project.
You
know,
there's
families
directly
across
the
street
from
you
on
langley
road
with
young
babies
and
children.
W
A
B
Number
of
employees
for
that
location
we
anticipate
10
employees
per
shift,
that's
probably
on
the
high
side,
and
so
what
we
try
and
do
is
to
hire
within
the
community,
and
I
think
someone
mentioned
you
know.
There
are
a
lot
of
college
students
and
younger
people
in
that
neighborhood,
and
we
generally
don't
have
a
problem
hiring
and
ideally
we
would
want
to
hire
people
who
could
get
there
in
a
snowstorm
and
walk
to
work
and
kind
of
give
back
to
the
community.
B
You
know,
and
and
also
because
there
was
an
existing
commercial
business
there.
What
we
were
looking
to
do
was
to
mirror
the
amount
of
traffic
that
was
existing
for
the
cleaners
and
not
to
necessarily
add
new
traffic
to
the
neighborhood.
So
on
cleaners,
probably
at
his
heyday
was
you
know
relatively
busy
in
in
in
an
ideal
world.
We
would
want
to
emulate
that
level
of
activity
and
not
necessarily
increase
that.
So
those
are
some
of
the
factors
that
went
into
considering
the
location.
A
L
Yes,
thank
you.
I
have
essentially
three
comments.
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
things
that
were
said
before
you
know,
because
of
corvid.
We
have
to
use
this
format.
We
can't
get
together,
so
this
format
should
simulate
what
we
would
normally
do
during
a
town
hall,
so
not
sharing
or
making
the
chat
public
not
making
the
participant
list.
Public
really
does
not
breed
transparency,
it
does
not
breed
community.
L
L
The
other
thing
I
want
to
emphasize
is
that
the
long-term
or
even
acute,
neurocognitive
or
brain
function,
effects
of
marijuana
have
not
been
produced.
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
the
ethics
of
this,
but
I
think
you're,
hearing
consistently
that
there's
a
problem
with
traffic
and
accidents
in
that
area,
and
now
you
are
attracting
people
whose
brains
may
be
altered
in
a
community
of
children,
elderly
and
students,
and
this
is
just
not
a
good
location
for
you
and
lastly,
kobe.
L
You
just
mentioned
that
at
night
that
you're
going
to
have
to
add
security
locks
to
make
sure
that
the
facility
is
safe.
So
if
this
is
not
going
to
impair
the
safety
of
this
community,
why
would
you
have
to
take
those
additional
steps
at
10
o'clock?
You
leave
your
employees
leave,
but
other
people
in
this
area
live
there.
So
if
you
see
that
there
is
a
threat
to
the
property
that
you
have
to
offer
additional
security,
you
are
imposing
that
threat
on
everybody
else
that
lives
in
that
area.
So
again,
this
is
a
residential
community.
L
A
X
Yeah
we're
five
feet
away
from
the
location
of
being
proposed,
we're
for
40
years
members
of
this
community
and
business
owners.
We
are,
we
strongly
oppose
this.
This
is
the
residential
area,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
this
is
said,
but
I
want
to
emphasize
some
other
points,
residential
area
with
elderly
that
have
been
living
there
for
decades,
you
have
young
families
that
you're
going
to
be
exposing
them
to
this
type
of
business
and
the
clientele
that
comes
along
with
it.
W
X
X
H
Oh
yeah,
thanks
connor,
you
called
on
me
too
quickly.
The
last
time
I
forgot
what
I
was
going
to
say,
but
I
have
actually
a
couple
of
extra
things
to
say
now.
I
guess
one
one
I
mean
one
of
the
major
issues
has
been
mentioned,
but
again
I
I
don't
oppose
a
marijuana
dispensary
at
all.
I
voted
for
legalization
and
I
applaud
their
their
their
social
justice
mission
that
that's
what
I've
worked
in
for
most
of
my
life.
H
So
I
just
don't
have
an
issue
with
this,
but
the
location
right
on
the
corner.
There
is
just
lethal.
We
had
a
car
totaled
a
brand
new
three
month
old
car
total
because
of
double
parking
on
that
on
that
street,
right
opposite
the
swan
cleaners
directly
opposite,
and
because
there
was
a
bus
and
double
parking
you
go
down
there
any
time
of
the
day
or
night.
You'll
see
people
double
parked
all
the
time,
and
especially
in
the
evening.
H
H
So
it's
going
to
make
that
whole
area
really
far
more
dangerous
in
terms
of
traffic
than
it
is
already
our
our
our
building
is
three
doors
up
from
the
proposed
dispensary
we're
the
only
driveway
within
in
both
directions
for
for
quite
quite
a
bit,
I'm
not
sure
where
the
the
driveway
is
up
towards
brighton
center,
but
we're
the
only
driveway
we're
already
used
as
a
parking
lot
for
the
existing
businesses.
I
five
six
cars
every
day
come
and
park
in
the
driveway.
H
If
I
pull
down
to
allow
my
husband
to
pull
his
truck
in,
I
get
blocked
in
again
almost
every
day.
This
happens.
So
that's
already
a
huge
issue
for
me
and
when
I
hear
them
talking
about
operational
security
that
they
they
won't
be
allowing
their
customers
to
park
because
of
operational
security.
I'm
not
sure
where
that
leaves
me
because
I
know
there'll
be
parking
in
my
driveway,
so
who's
going
to
take
care
of
my
operational
security.
H
Should
I
be
really
concerned
about
that?
I
just
don't
like
the
sound
of
that
at
all,
so
the
other
thing,
I
think,
is
it's
a
very
large
space.
This
one
cleaner
is
a
huge
property
so
and
and
50
dispensaries
in
the
whole
of
boston
when
you
take
in
east
boston,
south
boston,
dorchester,
matapan,
hyde
park
and
and
austin
brighton
is
a
huge
area
and
that's
not
very
many
dispensaries.
So
I
think
the
crowds
are
going
to
be
massive
they're
massive
everywhere
else,
and
I
and
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
any
different.
H
You
go
out
to
newton.
You
see
the
lines
outside
the
the
place
there,
but
at
least
there's
parking
there.
So
this
place
has
no
parking.
It's
going
to
the
whole
neighborhood
with
the
lack
of
parking
and
it's
going
to
be
make
the
whole
neighborhood
more
dangerous
there.
Before
the
pandemic,
there
were
traffic
jams
all
the
way
down
to
oak
square
every
evening
from
up
to
brighton
center,
all
the
way
down
the
dump
house
551
where
we
are
yeah.
H
A
Thanks
sheila
all
right,
I
also
want
to
note
there
was
a
couple
of
questions
and
comments
in
the
chat
as
well
another
resident
echoing
concerned
about
the
late
hours
late
night,
noise
that
might
bring
also
concerned
about
impact
on
property
values.
A
resident
was
inquiring
kobe.
You
guys
had
mentioned
that
you're
interested
in
buying
the
building,
but
at
this
time
is
there
a
landlord
that
you're
specifically
dealing
with
or
a
property
management
group?
A
B
W
E
A
A
And
then
this
is
more
directed
for
myself.
What
shops
are
going
through
the
community
process
they're
not
yet
been
approved
in
austin
brighton.
That's
that's
a
lengthy
one.
On
so
far
only
the
cleveland
circle
proposal
in
1937
beacon
street
was
approved
by
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
The
other
location
on
north
beacon
was
shut,
was
shot
down
by
the
zba,
but
is
currently
going
through
the
superior
court
to
overturn
that
decision.
A
Those
are
the
only
ones,
there's
a
location
union
twist
on
cambridge
street
that
has
cleared
the
cannabis
board.
I
believe,
but
has
not
gone
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
Yet
I
think
that's
coming
up
mayflower,
which
is
another
one
located
in
allston
on
harvard
ave,
went
through
the
cannabis
board
they're
coming
up
at
the
zba,
I
believe,
and
then
the
oak
square
and
excuse
me
those
were
in
the
brighton
center
one.
We
conducted
two
community
meetings
for
that.
A
They
are
interested
in
pursuing
a
public
meeting
which
I
will
set
up
at
some
point
that
will
be
advertised
in
my
newsletter,
in
addition
to
folks
receiving
the
flyers
as
well.
So
I
think
that's
covered.
We've
received
a
number
of
applications
and
there's
probably
likely
to
be
more
applications
coming
at
some
points,
but
with
the
half-mile
rule
that
would
pretty
much
prevent
a
lot
of
parts
of
austin
brighton
from
having
additional
ones.
So
with
that,
I
don't
see
further
questions
and
comments.
A
O
O
Parking
or
cars
in
brighton
center
is
that
different
from
oak
square,
it's
very
close
to
the
two
liquor
stores
across
the
street
from
each
other,
which
are
equally
close
to
the
y
and
the
schools
that
also
have
to
be
locked
up
at
night
for
safety
concerns.
So
it's
all
very
equivalent
and
it's
you
know.
This
is
a
great
thing
from
the
neighborhood.
It
helps
an
empty
storefront
and
and
if
it
doesn't
work
out,
they
can
always
leave
like
it's.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right,
folks,
further
questions
comments.
It's
it's
difficult
for
me.
If
you
have
had
your
hand
raised
this
entire
time
and
I've
already
called
on
you,
I
don't
know
if
you
have
an
additional
question
or
if
you
just
accidentally,
have
your
hand
raised
so
please
reach
out
in
the
chat
bar.
I'm
gonna
give
it
a
couple
more
minutes
if
anyone
else,
maybe
who
has
not
had
a
chance
to
speak.
Yet,
if
you'd
like
to
go
ahead
ada
I
see
you
have
a
question
hold
on
aydah,
go
ahead.
M
Oh,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes?
Yes,
so
I
I
really
like
this
forum,
because
actually
you
get
to
hear
a
lot
of
people
speak,
especially
with
this
kovid,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
last
person's
comments.
However,
I
completely
disagree
because
having
a
new
opportunity
and
like
a
business
opportunity
does
not
have
to
come
with
a
risk.
You
know
when
someone
goes
into
a
pizza
store.
They
don't
have
to
have
an
accident
when
you
they
come
out.
It's
not
a
hundred
percent,
but
it's
significantly
more
likely
with
marijuana.
M
Y
Y
I
know
they
are
they
park
here
from
out
of
state
and
from
everywhere
else,
but
this
area
this
turn
it
happens
to
be
there's
a
curve
in
the
road
on
washington
street
right
there
in
front
of
the
store-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
who
live
here
a
lot.
You
know
that
when
they
come
off
the
turnpike,
they
come
off.
The
mass
pike
people
come
in
and
they're
still
driving
fast,
because
they're
so
used
to
being
on
the
on
the
pike.
Y
So
they
come
through
oak
square
very
fast
way
too
fast
and
that's
why
there's
been
fatalities
in
front
of
swan
in
front
of
the
swan
place,
because
it's
a
curb
there?
It's
a
blind
crib.
They
come
bombing
down
that
street
and
turn
and
go
to
turn,
and
they
don't
see
what's
going
on,
if
you've
ever
seen
the
traffic
on
rush
hour
like
before
cover
that
someone
else
already
said
it.
Y
Y
I
don't
know
where
you're
going
to
put
these
people
for
the
for
the
pot
shop
when
there
is
no
traffic,
they
go
too
fast
and
when
there
is
traffic
it
doesn't
move
and
it's
backed
up
all
over
the
neighborhood
zero
parking,
and
I
just
feel
that,
like
over
grove
hall,
it's
a
commercial
area
and
here
at
swan,
it's
a
very
residential
area.
This
is
residential,
so
I'm
opposed
to
it.
For
those
reasons,
thank
you
very
much.
E
A
B
Yes,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
at
pure
oasis
is
we
establish
a
culture
where,
when
we
have
a
security
guard
out
front-
and
so
you
have
to
have
your
id
checked
before
you
come
into
the
door,
come
into
the
store.
So
if
the
security
guard
sees
that
you
have
double
parked
your
car,
you
will
not
be
allowed
in
the
store.
So
that's
one
of
the
controls
that
we
use
is
the
security
guard.
Make
sure
that
if
he
sees
anyone
double
parking,
their
car
you're
not
allowed
in
the
store.
A
So
after
zba
I
know
they
would
go
to
the
cannabis
control
commission.
That
would
then
look
at
the
whole
procedure
and
look
at
their
operation
side,
kobe,
with
your
experience
of
having
an
approved
business,
the
time
that
you
were
approved
at
the
zba
to
the
time
that
you
went
to
the
ccc,
how
much
time
had
elapsed
there
so.
B
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
the
question
she's
asking.
I
think
that
she
was
asking
the
inverse
in
terms
of
how
much
time
would
we
have
in
total
before
the
deal
would
probably
die,
but
in
a
normal
world
you
go
to
the
zba.
You
get
your
approval
that
completes
your
application
application.
You
submit
that
to
the
ccc
and
within
60
to
75
days.
You
probably
have
your
provisional
that's
in
a
normal
time
again,
if
I'm
hearing
the
question
correctly,
I'm
not
sure
if
anyone
has
tested
the
parameters.
G
A
Yeah,
so
that's
it's
ultimately,
I
know.
Boston
cannabis
board
is
the
one
that
works
with
them
on
a
host
community
agreement
and
kind
of
setting
those
parameters,
and
sometimes
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
can
weigh
in
as
well
there's
not
really
a
system
where
residents
directly
say
you
know
we
want
you
know.
Certainly
there
can
be
conversations
between
residents
and
the
applicant
regarding
a
number
of
things
such
as
you
know,
hours
of
operation,
specific
details,
community
benefits,
city,
something
the
city
cannot
get
involved
in
its
community
benefits.
A
A
So
that's
that's
something
like
I
said
I
you
know
I
can't
instruct
an
applicant
to
say
you
need
to
give
x
amount
hypothetically
to
this.
You
know
operation
or
this
particular
program.
That's
what
my
my
like,
I
said,
that's
a
conversation
that
goes
on
with
civica
socials,
civic
associations
and
whatnot.
If
this
is
something
regarding
cleveland
circle,
happy
to
talk
to
you
tomorrow
about
that
when
I'm
in
the
office.
A
A
Excuse
me,
the
applicant
considered
two
security
guards,
one
for
ids
and
one
for
double
parking
to
ensure
no
one
parks
in
the
family
driveway.
There
seems
to
be
a
ton
of
concerns
regarding
traffic
and
parking.
Lastly,
are
these
local
businesses
are
out
of
state,
I
believe
kobe,
you
guys
have
mentioned
they're
a
local
business.
They
currently
have
a
location
in
grove
hall
and
are
based
in
massachusetts,
but
kobe
that
I'll
direct
that
to
you
would
you
consider
additional
security
in
the
front
to
handle
both.
B
B
If
there
are
issues
with
cars
parking
in
driveways,
we
would
be
more
than
happy
to
take
down
the
license
plates
work
with
our
contacts
at
boston
police
department,
and
we
could
give
warnings
and
ultimately
bar
people
from
coming
to
the
store.
If
we
find
that
they
are
becoming
a
nuisance
to
our
neighbors.
M
So
to
me
this
seems
like
a
massive
operation.
I
mean
to
hire
10
employees
at
a
time
inside
that
small
space
I
mean
how
much
business
are
you
guys
going
to
have?
How
much
are
you
anticipating
from
your
experience,
10
people
at
a
time?
I
don't
know
none
of
all
our
stores.
They
don't
have
10
people
at
a
time
and
that's
per
shift.
So
how
much
volume
are
you
guys
expecting.
C
So
so
the
number
10,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
number
10
isn't
it
is
sort
of
it.
It
is
looking
at
the
total
number
of
employees
in
the
building,
which
would
include
the
security
folks
that
we
had
just
talked
about.
It
would
be
technical
diabetes,
ensuring
that
parking
rules
will
follow.
That's.
M
C
M
M
But
for
that
location,
sir,
I
understand
I'm
not
that
business,
but
not
in
this
location.
Just
just
seems
like
an
unbelievable
volume
that
you
guys
are
going
to
have
tons
of
people
are
going
to
come
you're
only
the
second
store
in
the
boston
area.
Everyone
is
gonna,
come
to
you,
everything
that
was
just
said
in
opposition.
I
completely
agree
with,
and
I
think
you
guys
are
gonna
cause
so
many
more
unfortunate
incidents.
M
A
All
right
folks,
I
think
we've
covered
questions
and
comments.
Like
I
said
it's
difficult
folks
are
keeping
their
hands
up.
I
don't
know
if
there's
there's
new
folks
or
people
with
additional
questions
or
comments,
but,
as
I
stated
at
the
beginning
of
this
this
meeting
this
public
meeting.
This
is
an
open
comment
period
at
any
point.
Folks
can
reach
out
to
my
office.
If
there's
a
question
specific
for
the
applicant,
you
know
I
can
put
you
in
touch
with
them.
We
can
try
to
get
you
that
information.
A
A
E
A
There
thanks
everyone
for
participating.
You
know,
certainly
they've,
given
a
lot
of
public
comments,
a
lot
of
feedback
that
these
guys
can
take
a
look
at
and,
like
I
said,
our
office
continues
to
take
public
comments,
as
does
councillor
braden's
and
other
elected
officials.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
good
night.
Everyone.
Thank
you.
