This
is
just
a

required
by
the
city
and
the
state.
Before
moving
on
to
the
canvas
board
and
zoning
board
of
appeals

there
will
be

There
also
is
an
open
comment

any
questions
after
the
fact
you
can
reach
out
to
myself
or
the
project
team

we'll
work
to
get

it
does
come
time
for
questions
and
answers,
I
ask
that
all
questions
be
directed
toward
the
applicant
and
myself.
B
If
I'm
unable
to
answer
a
question
or
the
applicants
are
unable
to
answer
a
question,
we'll
follow
up
with

then
I
will
be

afterwards
and
then
I
will
go
over
to
rey's.
Go
over
how
to
raise
hands
at
that
time
as
well.
J
G
G
E
Well,
thank
you.
I
am
brian
chavez,
I'm
also
a
lifelong
resident
of
boston.
I
graduated
from
umass,
boston
and
majored.
In
economics,
I
became
a
small
business
owner
in
2015
and
started
pursuing
cannabis
venture
in
late
2018..
The
first
out
of
three
stores
opened
in
march
of
this
year.
E
E
J
E
Thank
you
next
slide,
please.
So.
Securing
real
estate
is
one
of
the
key
barriers
of
entry
for
social
equity
applicants
in
the
emerging
cannabis
industry.
Others
include
financial
and
technical
barriers,
such
as
access
to
capital
and
knowledge
of
business
ownership
and
relevant
laws
and
regulations.
E
This
is
why
our
team
is
so
great.
Our
collective
knowledge
and
expertise
covers
most
of
these
key
barriers.
The
location
is
the
final
piece.
Boston
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
ensuring
strong
minority
representation
in
the
local
cannabis
industry
because,
as
you
can
see
in
the
graph,
minorities
make
up
less
than
twenty
percent
of
cannabis.
Business
owners
and
founders
next
slide
please.
E
Furthermore,
there
are
significant
disparities
in
how
cannabis
crimes
are
enforced
across
minority
and
non-minority
communities.
Minorities
are
prosecuted
at
far
higher
rates
for
what
than
whites
for
similar
drug
programs.
Although
studies
show
that
drug
use
is
about
the
same
for
both
groups,
it
is
important
that
social
equity
plays
a
major
role
in
the
cannabis
licensing,
so
that
we
can
begin
to
write
the
systemic
injustices.
E
J
You
desiree
thank
you
brian
now
we
will
discuss
our
proposed
location,
329
columbus,
ave,
formerly
the
kota
bar
in
kitchen.
Our
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
9
a.m
to
10
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week
we
currently
hold
a
letter
of
intent
with
the
landlord
and
there
are
two
garages
within
150
feet
of
the
site.
J
J
J
J
The
inventory
of
available
on
street
parking
demonstrated
that
even
at
peak
hours
of
operation,
the
existing
on-street
parking
will
be
sufficient
to
support
the
expected
demand
for
parking.
Despite
these
findings,
we
will
encourage
local
patrons
and
our
staff
to
walk
bike
and
take
public
transportation
to
our
establishment.
J
J
We
will
also
be
employing
digital
cueing
very
similar
to
the
friendly
toast
in
order
to
reduce
lines.
The
long
line
seen
at
nutta
in
brookline
years
ago
have
not
been
seen
at
other
dispensaries
in
boston.
We
anticipate
most
of
our
customers
will
walk
in
due
to
the
nearby
train
station
and
this
being
a
walkable
neighborhood.
G
Thank
you,
desiree
at
herbal
power
we
will
provide
jobs
for
the
community,
enhance
and
revitalize
the
space,
provide
increased
security
and
be
a
community
committed
community
partner.
As
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
we
have
partnerships
with
mass
hires
and
the
south
end
technology
center
as
a
human
resource
professional
in
the
technology
industry.
I'm
keenly
aware
of
how
transformative
a
career
in
stem
can
be
for
people
from
underrepresented
groups
and
I'm
excited
about
our
partnership
with
the
south
end
technology
center.
G
J
As
part
of
our
process,
we
have
engaged
in
community
outreach
for
the
sev.
For
the
past
several
months
we
have
led
two.
We
have
held
two
private
abutters
meeting
as
well
as
met
with
the
ellis
neighborhood
association.
We
also
met
with
individual
abutters
at
their
request
and
welcome
any
requests
to
discuss
one
on
one.
Our
community
outreach
efforts
have
been
extensive
and
we
are
happy
to
continue
meeting
and
engaging
with
the
community
as
we
move
forward.
J
If
we
can
go
on
to
thank
you,
the
map
that
you're
seeing
now
shows
all
of
the
approved
proposed
marijuana
retail
locations
in
and
around
the
city
of
boston
by
law.
There
has
to
be
a
minimum
of
52
host
community
agreements
for
retail
recreational
cannabis
dispensaries.
J
This
excludes
all
other
cannabis
uses
as
more
retail
locations
across
the
city,
begin
to
open
parking
and
traffic
will
become
less
of
a
concern,
as
residents
will
have
more
options
in
their
local
neighborhood.
J
We
also
would
like
to
point
out
point
out
that
not
only
has
the
boston
cannabis
board
never
seen
a
violation
or
the
state
by
cannabis
establishment.
There
has
also
never
been
an
alleged
violation.
This
is
an
incredibly
highly
regulated
industry
and
we
hope
to
continue
that
legacy
of
not
having
any
violations.
J
Here
is
some
information
regarding
our
zoning
buffer
zones.
The
map
to
the
the
map
shows
that
we
are
not
within
500
feet
of
a
school,
and
it
also
shows
that
we
are
within
the
buffer
zone
of
a
another
dispensary
on
boylston
street.
I
believe
the
name
is
air.
J
The
map
to
your
left
shows
population
density
immediately
surrounding
our
location.
The
areas
in
yellow
reflect
the
highest
density
population
and
the
areas
in
orange,
which
we
are
located
in
reflect
the
second
highest
population
density
and
the
areas
in
red
reflect
the
third
highest.
As
you
can
see,
we
are
located
in
a
highly
densely
populated
neighborhood.
J
J
G
G
B
All
right,
thank
you
guys.
We
will
now
begin
the
question
and
answer
and
comment
period.
I'm
just
going
to
go
over
how
to
raise
your
hand
if
you
are
on
by
the
computer
or
on
the
zoom
app
on
your
phone,
go
to
the
reactions
bottom
at
the
excuse
me,
the
reactions
button
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
click
on
the
hand.
If
you
are
calling
in
my
telephone
a
question,
please
press
start
right,
I'm
going
to
call
on
people
by
the
order
in
which
they
raise
their
again.
B
B
I'll
also
be
monitoring
the
chat
for
questions,
but
I
asked
that,
if
possible,
you
raise
your
hand
to
ask
I'm
just
you
could
have
volume
with
people
on
the
call
and
then
one
final
thing:
please
state
your
name
and
address
before
asking
a
question
or
giving
a
comment
and
then,
if
you're,
not
comfortable
speaking
or
think
of
anything
after
the
fact,
you
can
also
send
your
questions,
comments
or
any
positions.
B
You
have
on
the
statement
to
me
at
my
email
at
kimberly.crucioli
boston.gov,
so
I
will
begin
the
question
and
answer
now
and
I'll
be
going
in
order
of
how
people
raise
their
hands.
So
we
do
have
a
number
of
people
that
already
have
their
hand
raised.
So
if
you
could
try
to
limit
your
testimony
or
questions
just
to
a
couple
minutes,
that
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
K
Thank
you
deb
lawrence
at
303
columbus
ave.
So
I
I
have.
L
We
already
have
that
problem
exacerbated
by
the
dangerous
intersection.
I
have
many
pictures
and
videos
kim
that
I'll
be
sharing
with
you
that
neighbors
have
sent
to
me,
including
ones.
I've
taken
myself,
you'll,
see
semi-trailers
parking
in
the
no
parking
right
turn
only
lane,
because
there's
no
other
place
to
make
deliveries.
That
clear
is
an
urban
grape
right
now.
The
alley
behind
is
not
a
full
alley.
You
can
enter
and
exit
only
on
one
side.
L
That's
dartmouth
and
there's
only
a
small
piece
of
it,
even
large
enough
to
pull
a
car
into
even
the
smaller
delivery
trucks
to
cleary's
in
urban
great
park
illegally,
and
then
they
take
these
hand.
Trucks
around
to
the
alley.
The
local
parking
garages
are
often
full
and
it's
questionable
whether
people
will
pay
those
rates
when
they
believe
they
can
double
park
illegally
in
the
right-hand
only
turn
lane.
In
fact,
just
coming
home
today
from
work
at
five
o'clock,
I
saw
a
car
parked
illegally
there.
I
don't
know
what
he
was
doing.
L
B
Thanks
deb
and
then
also
just
one
other
thing
after
you
ask
your
questions.
If
you're
able
to
on
unraise
your
hand,
that
would
be
super
helpful
but
desire,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
respond.
J
Thank
you
deb,
we
are,
I
mean
we
are
aware
that
the
south
end
is
known,
for
you
know
not
having
a
lot
of
parking.
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
we
felt
like
this
location
really
worked
for
us
was
because
of
the
back
bay
station
and
the
neighborhood
is
very
walkable.
J
Residents
are
walking
up
and
down
the
street
all
the
time
we're
not
really
intending
to
to
have
patrons
driving
in
across
the
city.
We
really
want
to
serve
our
local
community.
So
thank
you
for
your
feedback.
B
A
Jennifer
forsyth,
I'm
the.
H
A
Of
unit
two
two
four
and
five
in
329,
we
are
directly
above
the
unit
and
I
used
to
live
in
unit
five
for
many
many
years
and
there
was
a
restaurant
on
the
first
floor
and
they
would
actually
cook
in
the
basement
and
the
smell
of
french
fries
permeated
the
entire
building
and
they
took
great
steps
to
do
ventilation
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
the
the
terpenes
or
terpenes
whatever
the
chemical
is
in
the
marijuana
is
rancid
and
this
building
is
120
years
old
and
I
don't
believe
that
it's
going
to
permeate
the
wood
everything
in
that
building.
A
M
M
In
any
way
on
site,
so
all
product
will
be
sealed
at
all
times
we're
not
packaging
on-site.
So
the
the
concerns
with
odor
well
they're,
certainly
valid,
relate
more
to
cultivation
or
manufacturing,
where
there's
not
going
to
be
any
preparation
on
site
in
terms
of
the
delivery
direct
to
consumers.
M
We're
actually
not
proposing
that
at
this
time
and
the
boston
cannabis
board
has
very
specific
regulations
that
if
we
were
to
ever
partner
with
a
direct
to
delivery
entity
or
we
were
to
ever
offer
that
that
would
be
a
completely
separate
process
and
it
would
require
a
community
meeting,
that's
separate,
as
well
as
the
approval
of
the
boston
cannabis
board.
So
not
only
is
that
not
something
we're
proposing
at
that
time
at
this
time
there
is
a
separate
process
that
would
be
dedicated
to
that.
A
M
This
is
incredibly
highly
regulated
and
the
boston
cannabis
board
has
its
rules
and
regulations
requirements
that
if
you
are
a
brick
and
mortar
establishment
in
order
to
partner
with
a
delivery
offer
which
has
to
be
a
social
equity
or
economic
empowerment
operator,
you
have
to
receive
the
approval
of
the
board
and
it
has
to
be
listed
on
your
license
and
there
there
have
actually
been
entities
who
have
gone
before
the
board
who
have
been
denied
so
that
we
there
are
very
strict
rules,
especially
in
boston.
That
were
actually
meant
to
ensure
that
that
couldn't
happen.
A
J
If,
if
I
can
jump
in
so
there
there's
a
seed
to
sale
tracking
system
that
allows
all
cannabis
products
to
be
tracked
from
when
they
are
cultivated,
packaged
and
to
who
purchased
the
product,
our
goal
is
to
be
a
friendly
neighbor
and
we
plan
to
have
all
of
our
customers
sign
a
friendly,
neighbor
agreement,
if
any,
if
any
patron
is
caught,
consuming
the
cannabis
outside
of
the
establishment
or
opening
the
package
opening
the
package
and
attempting
to
to
roll,
you
know,
maybe
a
joint
so
that
they
can
smoke.
J
That
is
something
that
we
will
step
in
and
we
will
we
will
ban
them
from
the
store
that
will
not
be
allowed
or
tolerated.
I
just.
A
Don't
see
how
you're
going
to
keep
track
of
every
single
driver,
who's
coming
from
lantern
or
whatever
kind
of
service
is
pulling
up
because
there's
different
people
every
week
yeah,
you
can
be.
You
know:
infinite
number
of
people
signing
up
signing
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement.
It's
just
like
a
revolving
door
of
people
coming
in.
J
So
what
we've
seen
so
far
with
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement
is
that
it's
been
very
effective
in
in
not
you
know
in
dispensaries,
not
violating
the
boston
cannabis
board.
People
do
not
want
to
be
banned
from
stores
they
do
not
want.
J
Their
names
circulated
on
a
do
not
on
a
blacklist,
and
so
you
know
our
hope
when,
when
we
employ
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement,
it
is
really
a
contingency
plan
to
ensure
that
the
the
concerns
of
the
community
don't
happen,
and
if
they
were
to
happen
that
we'd
have
an
actionable
plan
moving
forward
with
the
individual.
J
So
far
out
of
the
52
dispensaries
that
have
been
approved
by
the
city
of
boston.
The
11
dispensaries
that
are
currently
open
do
have
a
similar
program
with
the
with
their
patrons
where
they
they
have
to
agree
to
follow
the
rules
and.
A
E
Hi,
if
I
could
just
jump
in
there
and
thank
you
for
the
question
jed,
we
respect
your
concerns
and,
like
desi
stated,
you
know
we
want
to
be
good
neighbors.
You
know
your
concerns
are
our
concerns.
We,
it
would
be
a
hard
business
model
for
our
patrons
to
directly
violate
the
good
neighbor
agreement,
and
you
know
we'll
be
back
standing
with
the
community,
but
something
that
I
can
tell
you
today
marks
two
months
since
I've
opened
my
first
store
located
at
43,
freeport
street
and
similar.
E
When
I
was
going
through
that
community
outreach
process,
there
were
concerns
from
residents
that
you
know
about
people,
smoking
outside
people,
loitering
just
basically
a
negative
quality
of
life
being
resulting
due
to
the
dispensary
being
opened.
E
It's
just
it's
not
happening,
and
I
welcome
you
guys
to
look
at
the
information
that
the
boston
cannabis
board,
tracking
the
licensing
violations
of
all
establishments
very
similar,
that
they
do
to
liquor
stores
and
restaurants
or
liquor
licenses.
It's
it's
just
I'm
happy.
Fortunately,
I'm
happy
to
inform
that
these
things
they're
just
not
happening
most
of
our
cannabis.
Consumers
are
law-abiding
citizens,
people
that
come
from
all
walks
of
life,
they're
just
trying
to
get
their
product
and
go
home
to
consume
responsibly
and
just
but
I
respect
your
wishes
and
thank
you
for
your
feedback.
A
E
All
right,
yeah
and
I'm
happy
to
inform
you
that
no
data
has
shown
that
property
values
the
lower
with
the
opening
of
cannabis
establishments.
There's
data
in
colorado
and
there's
data
in
massachusetts.
No
evidence
concrete
evidence
has
said
a
cannabis
establishment
in
your
neighborhood
will
lower
your
property
and
result
with
the
increased
security
with
cameras
and
the
revitalization
of
an
empty
storefront.
J
And
jen,
as
you
know,
as
brian
mentioned,
we
do
welcome
your
feedback,
we're
happy
to
meet
with
you.
You
are
direct
neighbors,
we're
we're
happy
to
meet
with
you,
your
husband
and
your
mom.
A
J
Okay,
we
appreciate
your
feedback
john
we're
happy
to
meet
with
you
separately
after
this
meeting
as
well.
B
Thank
you,
we're
going
to
move
on
and
then
also
again
just
a
reminder
after
you've
spoken.
If
you
could
please
just
unload
your
unlower
your
hand
just
so
I
can
keep
track
of
goosebumps
already,
but
next
we
have
brian
forsythe.
O
Thank
you.
Yes,
I'm
brian
forsythe.
I
am
an
owner
of
the
second
floor
apartment
which
directly
abuts
the
prospective
location
of
this
shop.
I
am
also
an
owner
of
the
fourth
floor.
I
used
to
be
a
resident
at
95
warren,
which
is
a
few
blocks
away
across
the
mckinley
school,
so
I'm
intimately
familiar
with
the
traffic
patterns.
Frankly,
it's
it's
far
school
to
think
that
there's
available
parking
I,
I
would
routinely
drive
for
20
30
minutes,
looking
for
a
parking
spot
on
a
weekend
or
after
work
or
even
during
the
day.
O
So
that
is
very
hard
to
believe.
I
have
quite
a
bit
of
concern
about
the
economic
impact
of
this
entity
on
my
ability
to
rent
the
second
fourth
and
fifth
floors
of
this
building.
O
I
felt
it
was
interesting
that
you
said
that
most
of
your
customers
were
law
abiding
and
not
all
so
I
I
really
have
very
strong
reservations
and
no
one's
going
to
pay
20
across
the
street
to
come
in
for
a
quick
visit
to
the
shop
they're
going
to
double
park,
it's
going
to
create
congestion,
there's
a
school
which
is
just
outside
the
500
feet.
There's
going
to
be
lots
of
kids
walking
home
from
school.
Passing
the
shop
there's
going
to
be
garbage,
that's
cluttering
the
streets!
O
This
is
really.
This
is
really
not
the
place
for
a
shop
of
this
nature,
and
I
have
very
very
serious
concerns
about
my
ability
to
rent
the
second
fourth
and
fifth
floors.
I
have
concerns
about
the
property
values
diminishing
brian.
You
shave,
as
you
had
mentioned,
that
there's
no
evidence
that
it
does
that
property
values
don't
decrease,
but
that's
also
in
the
context
of
a
housing
shortage
and
my
ability
to
rent
is
going
to
be
impacted.
My
costs
are
increasing
with
inflation,
as
our
everybody
else
is.
O
So
a
glib
analysis
like
that
doesn't
carry
a
whole
lot
of
water
with
me,
nor
any
of
the
surrounding
neighbors
and
and
since
you
began
your
presentation
stating
that
you
were
going
to
incorporate
or
involve
feedback
from
the
community,
I
think
you're
going
to
hear
many
sentiments
like
mine,
my
wife's
and
debs.
So
with
that
I'll
I'll
see
my
time,
let
others
comment,
but
this
doesn't
make
any
sense.
J
Brian
and
and
we're
you
know,
we're
happy
to
meet
with
you
and
jen
and
katie.
Whenever
you're
available,
we
have
been
reaching
out
for
a
few
months
to
discuss
the
proposal
and
we're
we're
still
happy
to
meet
with
you
and
thank
you
for
your
feedback.
B
Thank
you,
okay.
Next,
we
have
lewis.
P
P
P
You
heard
from
some
of
them
from
people
above
where
the
business
would
be
the
director
butters
on
the
building
on
the
other
side,
so
all
surrounding
the
business,
the
majority
of
people
are
opposed.
People
who
live
on
the
other
side
of
the
shared
alley
and
a
large
number
of
people
on
the
same
block
all
in
strong
opposition.
P
We
are
the
people
who
would
be
most
affected
by
this.
I
understand
there
are
people
further
away
in
the
neighborhood
who
are
in
support,
but
I
hope
that
you
are
considering
that
the
people
who
would
be
more
directly
affected
are
in
strong
opposition.
As
we
explained
in
the
letter,
we
are
not
opposed
to
the
to
dispensaries
in
general
or
even
in
the
neighborhood,
and
we
are
very
supportive
of
minority-owned
businesses.
Some
of
us,
like
myself,
are
minorities
ourselves.
P
So
we
simply
believe
this
is
not
the
appropriate
location,
so
I
really
believe
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
whether
it's
minority
owned
or
not-
and
I
I
think
the
location
needs
to
be
the
main
concern
for
the
decision
makers
here.
Among
other
reasons,
it
is
a
busy
intersection
with
no
parking
any
stopping
or
double
parking
in
this
open
space,
which
already
happens,
it
would
just
be
amplified.
It
would
be
exacerbated,
for
example,
by
dispensary
customers.
P
Pulling
up
for
a
pickup
delivery
or
quick
purchase
would
further
intensify
an
already
congested
and
hazardous
intersection.
We
see
this
as
an
important
safety
issue,
so
we
really
hope
that
the
city
will
consider
this
seriously.
It's
a
safety
issue
parking
is
a
big
problem
in
the
area,
as
there
is
often
not
even
enough
parking
for
residents.
P
P
Even
one
to
two
people
standing
outside
the
business
would
make
it
very
difficult
for
pedestrians,
and
especially
people
with
strollers
and
wheelchairs,
to
get
by
in
an
area
where
cars
drive
by
very
quickly
to
try
to
make
that
turn
from
columbus
and
to
dartmouth.
We
have
a
two-year-old
at
home,
a
two-year-old
daughter,
so
this
would
affect
us
directly,
there's
also
people
in
wheelchairs
people
who
would
be
affected
directly
again.
This
is
a
safety
issue.
It
is
also
very
close.
B
To
other
dispensaries
yeah,
I'm
sorry,
I
just
kind
of
want
to
give
people
like
two
minutes
to
ask
a
question
or
speak,
but
if,
if
you're
able
to
just
wrap
it
up
in
the
next
few
minutes,
just
we.
P
P
It
is
not
true
what
brian
said
that
there
are
no
studies
showing
property
values,
go
down
the
other
brian,
kindly
posted
a
journal
article
in
the
chat
showing
that
they
do
indeed
go
down.
So
I
hope
that
they
will
be
more
careful
with
the
information
they
provide.
P
I
have
attended
both
meetings
organized
by
the
proposed
business,
and
I
had
a
one
hour
meeting
on
my
own
with
desiree
and
jomari
as
a
sign
of
goodwill,
to
discuss
our
concerns
and
try
to
determine
potential
solutions.
I
appreciate
they
would
make
an
effort
to
address
the
concerns,
but
unfortunately
many
of
these
issues
are
outside
of
their
control:
they're,
just
not
addressable
they're
because
of
traffic
issues
because
of
parking
there's
very
little.
They
could
do
about
it,
it's
because
of
the
particular
location.
P
So,
in
short,
a
large
number
of
the
direct
abutters
and
nearby
neighbors
are
in
strong
opposition
of
the
project.
We
will
be
sharing
this
letter
with
you.
As
I
said,
we
are
not
opposed
to
dispensaries
and
we
are
supported
supportive
of
minority-owned
businesses.
We
simply
believe
this
is
not
the
right
location.
Thank
you,
ken.
B
Thank
you,
luis
desiree,
or
anyone
on
the
team.
Would
you
like
to
respond.
E
Yeah
I
want
to
thank
lewis
for
his
his
feedback
as
carmen.
If
I
could
just
address
one
point,
because
I
I
just
want
to
protect
my
integrity
here,
I
different
studies
may
show
different
results.
So
the
studies
that
I
read,
those
studies
that
I
read
from
the
dues
by
lethally
said
that
cannabis
establishments
had
no
negative
impact
on
property
values.
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
say
that
stay
for
the
record
and
just
thank
you
lewis,
for
your
for
your
comments.
Thanks.
P
E
Of
that
information,
no
problem
and
and
and.
I
E
Said
there's
a
housing
shortage,
so
I
don't
with
the
current
housing
shortage.
I
find
it
hard
and
reasonable
to
believe
that
there's
going
to
be
any
challenges
of
renting
out
any
housing
right
now,
especially
in
the
south
end.
B
Thank
you,
brian
next
we
have
paul
teller
and
then
again
before.
Please
just
try
to
limit
any
testimony
to
two
minutes.
Please
just
so.
Everyone
has
a
chance
to
speak.
Q
Please
understand
that
our
clients
are
in
support
of
minority-owned
businesses
and
they
are
not
opposed
to
the
concept
of
dispensaries,
but
rather
believe
that
there
are
few
alternative.
There
are
safer
alternative
locations
within
the
city,
our
clients,
they're,
ready,
they're,
willing
and
they're
able
to
legally
defend
their
concerns
and
protect
their
rights.
Q
Accordingly,
we
respectfully
request
that
we
be
included
on
all
information
that
is
sent
out
regarding
the
proposed
dispensary.
We
are
also
willing
to
speak
with
the
attorneys
involved
in
this
matter
and
to
discuss
our
clients
concerns.
I
will
send
my
contact
information
in
the
chat
box
and
I
welcome
any
discussions
with
the
owners
and
their
attorneys.
I
appreciate
the
time
to
speak
tonight.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
paul
and,
and
you
know
just
for
the
record
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
we
are.
We
have
heard
in
the
past
presentations
over
the
past
few
months.
You
know
really
coincide
with
the
concerns
that
we've
seen
all
across
the
city
of
boston.
J
Right
now
there
are
11
dispensaries
operating
these
11
dispensaries
are
not
currently
experiencing
high
traffic,
loitering
littering
or
long
lines,
and
so
you
know
what
we've
seen.
None
of
the
data
that
is
out
there
at
the
moment
has
shown
or
or
predicted
that
we're
gonna
have
that
type
of
impact.
B
R
Yeah
hi
thanks
for
giving
me
some
time
to
speak.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
points
have
been
made.
R
You
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
residents
who
again
you
know,
are
not
opposed
to
dispensaries
in
general,
but
very
focused
on
this
location,
and
I
think
that
I
think
what
you're
hearing
is
that
you
know
if,
if
you
actually
tried
to
pick
a
worse
location
on
columbus
avenue
in
the
south
end,
you
probably
couldn't
pick
a
worse
one,
because
you
have
the
sidewalks
are
as
narrow
as
any
place
on
columbus
avenue.
I
think
they're
the
narrowest
right
in
front
of
this
location.
R
R
It
is
in
front
directly
in
front
of
a
no
stopping
right
turn
only
bike
lane,
and
then
there
are
at
least
five
that
I
know
of
elementary
middle
school
bus
stops
that
happen
essentially
right
on
that
block
within
300
feet.
So
I
think
that
all
of
those
things
you
know,
I
think,
is
why
you're
hearing
there's
such
opposition
in
terms
of
this
particular
location.
J
Thank
you,
brian
yeah.
I
mean
I
respect
that
I
I
know
that
you
know
these
concerns
are
reasonable
and
then
again
alex
I'll
express
that
the
11
dispensaries
that
are
currently
operating
in
the
city
of
boston
have
not
experienced
long
lines
or
traffic
or
the
impact
that
the
community
is
concerned
about.
In
fact,
we
plan
to
have
a
lesser
impact
than
koda.
Did,
I'm
not
sure
I
think
their
capacity
was
around
leslie.
Can
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
was
their
capacity
around
60?
Yes,
it.
M
J
Yeah
and
our
capacity
you
know,
is
around
40.
and
so
we're
we're
not
we're
not
even
expecting
to
experience
as
many
patrons
as
the
quota
bar
did
also
like
you
know
koda
they
they
were
great
neighbors,
but
the
use
there
and
having
people
come
in
and
and
and
you
know
we
have-
we
have
complaints
of
a
lot
of
the
employees
that
would
go
outside
and
smoke
cigarettes
where
they're
outside
of
our
dispensary.
There
will
be
no
smoking
at
all.
J
Currently,
there
is
a
small
ash
tray,
that's
screwed
on
to
the
wall,
and
I
believe
that
you
know
that
encourages
people
to
come
out
and
smoke
in
front
of
the
property.
That's
not
something
that
will
will
be
included
once
we
would
be
operational.
B
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
michael
connors.
S
I
should
be
able
to
keep
my
time
under
two
minutes,
because
a
lot
of
my
concerns
have
already
been
talked
about,
so
I
I
don't
want
to
be
repetitive,
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
mainly
concerned
with
the
the
traffic,
both
foot,
traffic
and
and
vehicle
traffic
up,
and
unlike
many
of
the
other
speakers,
I'm
actually
new
to
the
area
of
been
around
about,
let's
say
seven
months
and
I'm
I'm
frankly
a
little
bit
horrified
with,
like
all
the
disregard
of
of
laws
from
vehicles
and
even
pedestrians,
sort
of
jaywalking.
S
If
people
still
use
that
term-
and
you
know
so-
I'm
really
I'm
concerned
about
safety.
So
what
and
you
know-
I
think
I
heard
here
tonight
that
the
traffic
study
said
that
you
know
adding
the
dispensary
you
know
would
not
be
a
major
concern
like
which
is.
You
know
a
bit
astonishing
to
me
given
like
from
what
I
see
you
know.
Things
are
already
a
problem
and
any
level
of
increased
foot
traffic.
You
know
a
vehicle
traffic
is
going
to
just
simply
create
more
problems
and
you've
heard
a
lot
about
that
tonight.
S
So
I
won't
go
on,
but
what
I
did
want
to
ask
about
is
is,
I
think
I
heard
two
different
things
and
what
I
wanted
to
ask
for
was
a
bit
of
clarification
on
that.
I
was
on
a
previous
zoom
call
and
I
thought-
and
there
was
talk
I
I
remember
there
was
going
to
be
a
security
guard
outside
managing
the
line
and
that
was
talked
about
and
now
tonight
I
think
I
was
left
with
the
impression
that
well
I
I
definitely
heard
that
you
don't
believe
I
think.
T
S
There's
going
to
be
lines
because
we're
not
seeing
them
at
other
dispensaries.
So
maybe,
if
you
can
sort
of
clarify
that
point,
whether
you
know
you
believe
there
is
going
to
be
lines
or
you
believe
there
isn't
going
to
be
lines,
and
I'd
also
like
to
hear
about
what
the
what
the
peak
hours
are
are
expected
to
be
in
if
in
in
and
and
how
the
traffic
study
you
know
sort
of
looked
at.
Looked
at
that.
Thank
you
for
for
listening.
J
I
can
answer
the
first
question,
michael,
thank
you
for
your
questions
and
and
your
comment.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
meeting
you
attended,
but
our
security
guard
will
be
right
inside
the
facility
they
won't
be
outside
on
the
door,
and
then
we
do
have
a
area
for
queuing
inside
the
store
and
so
we've
you
know
we're
not
expecting
lines
outside
the
store
in
the
event
that
we
get
multiple
customers
that
happen
to
walk
in.
J
At
the
same
time,
we
do
have
a
designated
area
to
cue
them
inside
the
store
and
that's
why
we're
not
we're
not
expecting
lines
to
to
be
forming
outside
of
the
property
and
as
far
as
the
traffic
study,
if
leslie,
would
you
like
to
step
in
on
this
question?.
M
Absolutely
so
peak
hours
for
the
purposes
of
cannabis
establishments
are,
for
the
most
part
from
monday,
through
friday,
from
two
to
six
and
then
on
weekends,
from
about
10
to
four
the
difference
being
that
peak
hours
for
these
establishments
is
more
of
them.
Open,
tend
to
be
frequented
by
what
desiree
previously
referred
to
as
pass-through
customers.
In
that
as
more
of
these
establishments
open
up,
people
aren't
going
out
of
their
way
to
frequent
an.
M
It's
that
people
who
are
already
on
that
route
are
utilizing
those,
but
we,
our
traffic
engineers,
did
the
analysis
they
conducted
were
during
peak
hours
in
terms
of
as
they
pertained
to
cannabis
establishments.
E
And
I've,
I
could
just
add,
michael.
I
think
your
second
question
was,
if
there's
any
lines
in
my
experience
in
the
last
two
months
being
an
owner
and
operator
of
a
cannabis
dispensary.
E
I've
drive
drove
by
other
dispensaries,
whether
it's
pure
oasis
and
grove
hall
or
seed
in
jamaica,
plain,
there's,
no
lines
out
the
door
or
down
the
block
and
yeah,
and
I
think
that
the
data
will
reflect
that
because
I
think,
with
the
boston
cannabis
board,
there
hasn't
been
any
licensing
violations
and
that's
just
not
what
you
see
when
you're
on
the
street.
J
Yeah
like,
if
I
can
just
add
to
that,
there
are
currently
over
200,
just
dispensaries
that
have
been
approved
in
the
state
of
massachusetts,
and
so
the
long
lines
that
were
seen
a
few
years
ago
were
really
an
anomaly.
Since
customers
and
and
you
know,
people
were
driving
in
from
other
parts
of
the
northeast.
Other
states
we're
just
not
seeing
that
a
lot
of
the
people
in
the
cannabis
community
that
I
speak
to.
B
Thank
you
next,
I
have
sorry
if
I
butcher
this.
V
Yep
303
columbus,
lived
on
the
block
for
13
years
and
lived
in
the
area
for
22
23
years.
Listen,
it's
hard
not
to
be
repetitive.
I
don't
really
have
a
question
that
needs
answering
I'll.
Just
make
a
brief
testimony.
If
nothing
else,
desiree
yamari
brian,
you
guys
have
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
I
I'm
a
huge
champion
of
supplier
diversity.
Where
I
work.
I
wish
you
guys
a
tremendous
amount
of
luck,
but
not
at
this
location.
V
I
you
know,
I
think
the
comparisons
to
coda
frankly
are
naive
and
irrelevant
people
go
to
a
restaurant
to
eat.
They
stay
there
for
two
hours.
The
capacity
issue
is
not
relevant.
People
aren't
going
to
come
and
go
every
two
minutes.
Desiree.
You
say
that
your
intention
is
for
people
not
to
drive.
I
mean
with
all
due
respect.
I
don't
think
you
control
how
people
choose
to
get
to
the
dispensary.
V
The
the
comparisons
to
the
other
dispensaries
in
boston.
Are,
you
know,
interesting,
but
not
necessarily,
fully
relevant.
Those
are
different
locations
that
have
different
sidewalk
widths.
They
they
don't
have
a
bus,
stop
they.
They
don't
have
a
no
parking
zone.
They
don't
have
the
same
issues.
I
walk
by
that
location,
probably
25
times
a
week
and
half
the
times.
I
have
to
jump
into
the
street
to
get
by
two
people
that
are
walking
a
stroller.
What
what
might
be
you?
V
V
I
don't
want
to
reiterate
how
dangerous
that
intersection
is
and,
as
I
said,
I
often
have
to
resort
to
walking
on
the
street
to
get
by,
and
I
think
it
was
brian
chu.
That
said,
you
could
not
have
picked
a
worse
location
for
your
dispensary.
I
I
can't
amplify
that
enough,
so
I
hope
you
guys
are
very
successful.
I
hope
you
find
a
better
location
for
this
dispensary.
B
Thank
you.
Next,
you
have
malcolm
mcdonald,.
W
Hi
thanks
very
much
for
the
time,
malcolm
mcdonald,
chandler
street,
just
more
or
less
right
across
the
street
from
the
location.
A
couple
of
points
I'd
like
to
make
number
one
from
the
vantage
point
of
traffic.
W
The
parking
situation
is
horrendous
and,
and
everyone
that
lives
in
the
neighborhood
knows
it.
So
the
idea
that
anybody's
going
to
be
able
to
find
a
parking
spot
and
then
go
into
any
establishment.
Any
retail
establishment
across
the
entirety
of
columbus
avenue
is
is
just
not
true,
and
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
knows
that.
The
second
point
I
want
to
reiterate
it's
come
up,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
very,
very
clear.
W
So
there
are
constantly
little
kids
right
around
the
area
when
the
legislation
was
written
in
terms
of
the
regulation
for
where
dispensaries
should
be
located.
It
was
specifically
written
with
an
effort
made
to
keep
a
fair
distance
away
from
actual
schools.
Now
I
will
grant
you
a
school
bus
is
not
an
actual
school,
but
it
is
an
extension
of
those
schools.
W
There
are
just
way
too
many
kids
in
that
area.
Lastly,
you
keep
referencing
the
rear
entry
to
329
as
an
access
point
for
deliveries.
That
is
actually
not
a
legal
access
point
or
egress
for
coming
and
going
on
a
regular
basis.
It
is
actually
a
fire
safety
access
point
and
it
is
currently
signposted
for
doing
it
for
no
trespassing,
as
someone
mentioned
previously,
it
is
too
narrow
for
vehicles
and
there
is
heavy
gravel
all
over
it.
W
So
even
delivery
dollies
hand,
trucks,
etc
are
not
possible
to
go
down
that
that
ramp
and
then
behind
those
buildings.
So
clearly
I'm
very
opposed
to
this,
and
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
here.
I
wish
you
all
the
luck,
but
as
the
gentleman
before
me
commented,
I
wish
you
all
the
luck
in
a
better
location,
that's
more
suitable
to
your
business.
Thank
you.
F
Hi
kimberly,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yep.
We
can
hear
you
okay,
great
thanks,
hi
everyone,
jonathan
smith,
I'm
and
we're
all
qualifying
tonight.
So
I'm
a
member
of
the
ellis
association,
I'm
also
a
member
of
a
subcommittee,
the
the
dlc
committee
and
the
presentation
that
we're
looking
at
tonight.
We
were
given
a
month
ago.
So
I've
seen
the
presentation,
I'm
a
president
at
124,
pembroke
street
and
I've
been
a
resident
in
the
neighborhood
for
41
years,
we're
all
qualifying
tonight.
F
But
I'm
speaking
for
myself
right
now,
I'm
going
to
you
know
you
said
you
know:
desiree,
you
know
give
you
props,
you're
you're
you're,
a
neighborhood
person
and
that's
very
important
to
all
of
us.
Who've
been
here
for
for
a
long,
long
time
and
those
who
haven't
been,
but
I
had
a
couple
of
things
that
I
think
I
mentioned
to
you
in
our
previous
meeting,
but
I
thought
I
would
reiterate
them
with
a
larger
audience
here,
just
three
things
and
then
I'll
be
done.
F
The
first
one
is
the
storefront
appearance
out
front.
As
some
people
have
said,
it's
a
bus
stop
in
the
morning.
I
walk
through
through
right.
In
front
of
the
cota
every
morning-
and
there
is
a
bus
stop
for
at
seven
o'clock
for
a
middle
school
and
high
school
kids
who
get
bussed
out
of
there,
and
so
I'm
very
concerned
about
what
the
appearance
of
the
store
would
be
and
what
the
cleanup
would
be
the
night
before
you
know
you
spoke
about
a
you
know,
a
ashtray
on
the
side
of
the
building.
F
Well,
we
want
none
of
that
I
mean.
If
this
goes
forward,
this
has
got
to
be
and
span.
It
really
does.
The
second
is,
you
know,
you're
selling,
a
controlled
substance
and
the
the
hours
that
you're
presented
in
your
power
point.
Let
me
read
him
here:
9
to
10
9
a.m,
to
10
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week,
that's
unacceptable
and
is
not
going
to
fly
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
liquor
stores
in
the
neighborhood
which
we
accept
and
we
use
that's
a
controlled
substance.
F
They
open
typically
at
11
in
the
morning
and
they
close
at
10
and
on
weekends.
They
have
different
hours
shorter
hours.
So
that's
a
non-starter
for
me.
I
think
that
those
hours
are
just
you
know.
I
think
you're
you're
you're
you're,
asking
too
much,
maybe
you'll.
You
know
we'll
push
back
on
that,
but
those
hours
that
are
in
your
in
your
presentation-
uh-uh
not
for
me
and
then
the
third
thing
is.
Have
you
spoken
to
cleary's
about
this?
You
know,
cleary's
is
a
big
business
they've
been
there
for
decades?
F
If
you've
ever
been
down
there
on
weekends,
the
young
people
are
out
on
the
sidewalk
trying
to
get
in
it's
just
a
crazy
time
and
your
hours
are
going
to
coincide
with
theirs,
and
this
is
my
question.
I'd
like
you
to
maybe
respond
to
right
now
to
all
of
us.
You
know
what
you
know:
the
synergy
with
cleries.
Have
you
spoken
to
cleary's?
What
conversations
are
there?
Can
they
speak
to
anyone
from
cleary's
on
this
meeting
tonight?
Can
they
speak
to
that
and
with
that
with
that
I'll
share
the
time?
Thank
you.
M
And
desi,
if
I
could
just
jump
in
on
this
one.
Yes,
we
have
reached
out
jonathan
to
cleary's
and,
as
we
move
forward
in
this
process,
we
will
be
working
with
them,
as
we
will
all
of
our
neighbors
to
ensure
that
our
operations
plan
coincides
with
them.
But
we're
very,
very
well
aware,
just
as
there
are
other
cannabis
establishments
in
the
city
that
are
located
adjacent
to
a
section
12
or
a
section.
M
15
package
store
restaurant
or
package
store
that
will
need
to
ensure
that
there
there's
there's
collaboration
between
the
two
and
we
actually
feel
that
our
additional
security
during
the
hours
we
are
open,
which
are
not
nearly
as
impactful
as
the
hours.
Clearly
clarious,
is
allowed
to
be
open
that
we
will
be
working
directly
with
that.
F
Thank
you
leslie,
so
you
say
you
reached
out
to
them,
but
can
you
share
a
little
bit
more
about
that
conversation?
I
think
we'd
all
like
to
know
kind
of
how
clear
is.
Is
you
know
what
the
conversations
are
with
theories.
M
We
have
reached
out
to
the
owner
of
cleary's
mr
glenn,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
him
and
his
support
staff
as
we
move
forward.
F
So
I
take
that
as
an
not
able
to
to
speak
to
it
tonight.
M
F
J
Thank
you,
jonathan,
and
just
to
your
point
regarding
the
hours
we
did
present
these
same
hours
at
our
last
meeting
with
you,
we
are
willing
to
work
around
the
hours
of
operation.
You
know,
based
on
the
community
feedback.
J
B
You
thank
you.
I
do
just
want
to
note.
We
do
have
17
hands
raised,
so
if
everyone
would
be
able
to
keep
questions
and
comments
concise,
that
would
be
super
helpful.
Next,
we
have
dave
ting.
X
Thank
you
kimberly.
My
name
is
david
king
and
I'm
a
long-term
resident
at
303
columbus
avenue.
I'd
like
to
share
my
very
strong
reaction
to
this
proposal
as
a
direct
property
owner
and
a
butter,
I'm
opposed
to
the
proposed
dispensary
location.
I
respect
the
difference
of
opinion
among
stakeholders
regarding
this
particular
location.
Suitability
for
cannabis,
dispensary
as
the
location
of
the
proposed
dispensary
directly
affect
the
quality
of
life.
X
You
know
for
me,
for
example,
this
is
under
the
federal
control
substance
act.
Marijuana
is
a
schedule,
one
substance
and
traffic
and
pedestrian
safety
and
family
values.
For
me
and
my
family,
and
we
are
not
members
of
the
cannabis
community.
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
with
my
strongest
conviction
that
I
stand
with
over
a
hundred
neighbors
that
this
use
is
inappropriate
for
this
location.
X
X
B
X
I
Y
Phone
I'm
using
okay,
I've,
I'm
gareth
levy.
I
live
at
300
columbus.
I
have
been
here
14
years.
I
finally
gave
up
we've
had
a
car,
my
husband
myself
gave
it
up
because
one
by
one
we
never
could
find
a
parking
place,
and
it's
just
got
so
frustrating
frustrating
and
it's
expensive
to
store
the
car
in
the
garage,
so
we
finally
got
rid
of
all
of
them.
Okay,
so
I
vary
frequently.
Y
I
do
all
my
errands
by
my
little
old
lady
wire,
cart,
star
market
and
all
around,
and
I
try
to
avoid
that
area
in
front
of
coda.
When
I
come
back
with
my
groceries
and
little
wheels
on
the
street
because
it's
it
is
narrow,
it's
hazardous
there's
boxes
from
the
stores,
there's
people,
and
especially
on
the
weekends,
the
young
people
that
go
to
clery's,
it's
you
even
they
won't
even
part
the
way
for
us
to
get
by.
Y
You
really
have
to
go
way
around
and
off
the
curb
and
and
kind
of
like
your
hands
in
a
prayer
to
get
by
okay.
Secondly,
I
want
to
say
these
buildings
are
old.
They
were
made
in
the
19th
century
and
frequently
they
have
needs.
People
have
a
breakdown
of
this
and
that
and
so
there's
so
many
servant
trades
that
come
by
here
and
have
you
know,
get
grumpy
about.
I
can't
find
a
parking
place
gareth
and
it's
it's
tough
going
so
more
cars
need
for
people
to
get
here
are
just
not
needed.
Y
It's
it's
tough
going.
Thirdly,
I'm
a
grandmother
and
a
mother
of
two
boys
and
five
grandchildren.
They
come
frequently
to
the
place,
I'm
just
so
hoping
that
you're
true
you're
right
and
they're
not
smoking
around.
I
don't
want
it.
We
enjoy
the
beauty
of
the
neighborhood,
the
gorgeous
child
hassan
park,
frida
garcia,
et
cetera,
the
threat
of
air
polluting.
Y
I
don't
like
it
I'm
a
nurse,
I'm
retired,
but
I'm
always
a
nurse
we're
a
medical
family
and
there's
a
lot
not
that
much
has
been
investigated
or
is
conclusive
advance.
You
know
about
the
benign
quality
for
breathing
in
I'm,
okay
with
people
smoking
on
their
own
and
other
dispensaries.
Y
Z
Y
Children
live
next
door
to
me.
Okay,
they
have
babies,
they
have
little
girls
walking
around
here
with
that
threat
is
upsetting
to
me.
I
people
are
careless
and
reckless
and
dropping
things
around.
Despite.
Y
Guess
I
don't
trust
your
good
neighbor
agreements,
not
everybody
that
comes
around
here
can
be
trusted
in
general
and
should
know
better.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
time.
AA
Good
evening
mark
fusco,
I'm
in
290,
across
290
columbus
across
the
street,
and
first
I'd
like
to
congratulate
you
and
wish
you
good
luck.
I
we
we
believe
the
dispensary
is,
is
a
useful,
useful
business
and
one
that's
helpful
for
the
city.
We
also
are
all
in
favor
of
minority-owned
businesses.
We
we
all,
we
all,
enjoy
urban
great
break
next
door,
and
so
we
we
are
pleased
with
that.
I
have
two
quick,
two
quick
questions.
AA
One
I'm
concerned
about
the
cash
nature
of
the
cannabis
business
and
I
want
to
understand
how
how
the
cash
nature
of
this
doesn't
make
the
neighborhood
a
target,
and
the
second
has
to
do
with
the
last
question
about
good
neighbors
policy.
Are
you
willing
to
commit
that
if
your
premise
of
no
traffic
and
no
loitering
no
littering
no
double
parking?
If
that
doesn't
come
to
fruition,
that
you
will
make
remedies
for
those
of
us
who
actually
have
to
live
here
as
well?
Thank
you
for
taking
my
question.
B
Thank
you.
Next,
I
have
tim.
J
Oh,
I
can.
I
can
answer
a
little
bit
so
in
in
regards
to
the
cash
nature
mark.
We
do
have
a
comprehensive
security
plan
that
was
put
together
by
wind
walker
group,
so
we
we
do
have
a
plan
to
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
store
and
the
neighbors
as
cash
is
being
transported
in
and
out.
J
Also
not
all
of
the
cat
dispensaries
are
only
cash
there
are
you
know
there
are
many
pos
systems
that
also
accept
debit
cards,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
seeing
now
with
dispensaries
that
people
are
able
to
come
in
and
purchase
with
their
debit
card,
and
we
we
are
absolutely
committed
to
making
sure
that
the
good
neighbor
agreement
stands
and
if
we
have
to
make
amendments
to
our
proposal.
J
J
B
Thank
you.
Next
I
have
tim,
which
I'm
sorry
tim,
I
lowered
your
hand
by
accident
and
then
next
after
that
I
have
angela
and
angela,
I'm
not
sure
if
your
question
may
have
been
answered,
but
I
did
have
you
next
to
speak,
so
we
can
do
tim
and
then
angela,
hey
can.
AB
AB
Say
different
things,
not
because
I
think
the
points
I'm
making
are
more
important
than
what's
already
made.
I
think
the
ones
made
a
percent
of
them.
What
I
am
concerned
about
is
transparency
here
and
honesty
is
coming
from
verbal
life.
This
is
not
a
horrible
power,
I'm
sorry!
This
is
a
multi-million
dollar
endeavor,
it's
not
a
little
mom-and-pop
shop
and
I
went
over
some
of
your
documentation.
AB
Now,
okay,
yep,
perfect,
okay,
and
there
was
nothing
mentioned
about
the
neighborhood,
which
leads
me
to
believe
that
there
really
isn't
a
fundamental
concern
about
the
neighborhood.
It's
about
getting
this
business
in
place,
adding
to
brian's
three
stores.
Brian
you'll
get
four
stores:
you'll
have
a
nice
little
empire
going
there.
If
you
are
truly
a
good
neighbor
taking
up
our
only
meter
spot
is
not
good
neighbors.
Those
are
used
for
construction
workers,
vendors,
the
entire
south
end
as
well
as
residents
the
people
coming
by
are
going
to
be
using
it
now.
AB
AB
You
must
have
provided
economic
information
from
it,
because
you've
already
gathered
economic
information,
because
this
is
not
something
you
guys
are
putting
together
out
of
your
own
pockets,
you're
borrowing,
money,
you're,
borrowing,
a
lot
of
money,
you're
getting
investors.
You've
got
to
please
those
investors,
maybe
bro
and
you're
laughing.
Maybe
you
don't
have
investors,
I
couldn't
believe
it,
but
you
say
you
have
analysis
here
of
of
the
traffic.
So
I'd
like
to
know
my
question
is
what
oh
and
then
you'd
have
deliveries
multiple
times
a
day?
That's
what
was
this!
AB
J
J
Yeah,
so
what
I,
when
what
I
mean
by
randomized,
is
that
we're
not
gonna
have
a
delivery
truck
pull
up
at
10
a.m
every
day,
at
the
same
time,
to
deliver
product.
It's
it's
a
you
know
it's
a
safety
issue,
so
we
will
be
randomizing
the
delivery
times
throughout
the
day.
So
on
a
tuesday,
they
can
come
in
at
11
a.m
and
then
maybe
the
following
thursday.
They
will
deliver
at
2
p.m.
AB
J
Yeah
and
I'm
sorry
that
if
you
misunderstood
that
tim
also,
I'm
not
sure
what
application
you're
you're
pulling
up.
We,
when
you're
talking
about
investors.
Z
AB
I
AB
It's
your
operating
policies
for
a
marijuana,
retail
establishment
at
329
columbus
avenue.
This
is
your
documentation
describing
how
you're
going
to
operate
the
business.
It
also
included
your
ownership
divisions
and
a
flow
chart
of
of
the
ownership,
et
cetera.
All
I'm
saying
the
reason
I'm
saying
you're
that
you
it's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
money.
AB
AB
M
Tim,
we
can
absolutely
share
that
this.
This
job
analysis
that
we
just
received
back
actually
details.
All
of
that-
and
I
will
put
my
email
in
the
chat
as
well,
but
this
will
also
be
submitted
to
the
boston
cannabis
board,
as
well
as
to
the
elected
officials.
M
The
the
rising
tide
raises
all
ships
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
incredibly
excited
about
this
team,
that
we
are
all
boston
residents,
minority,
boston,
equity
applicants
and
we're
not
bringing
on
any
sort
of
out
of
state
funding.
Right
now
and
again,
I
defer
to
the
team
on
that
point,
but
all
these
all
of
these
matters
have
been
disclosed
to
the
board
and
will
be
continued
to
be
disclosed
to
the
board,
as
we
move
forward
so
happy
to
share
this
analysis
with
you
and
I'll
put
my
email
in
the
chat.
M
J
Tim,
what
I
can
say
is
that,
based
on
the
data
based
on
the
data
that
we
have
seen
with
other
operating
dispensaries,
we
do
plan
to
have
around
200
to
250
customers
per
day.
If
at
all,
that
data
is
constantly
changing,
because
the
cannabis
industry
is
is
not
stable
and,
as
you
know,
these
stores
continue
to
open.
Each
neighborhood
will
have
two
or
three
stores
which
will
bring
the
customers
per
day
down
on
each
individual
store.
So
that's
the
you
know,
that's
the
expected
number
right
now
and
that
may
very
well
change.
J
AB
J
B
You
thank
you.
Next,
I
have
julie
or
I'm
sorry,
angela,
I
said
angela,
I
could
speak
after
tim.
I'm
sorry,
I
think
angela's
hand
may
have
come
down,
but
I
had
that
next
on
the
list.
AC
Oh,
I'm
sorry,
no!
I'm
here,
I
just
wanted
to
say
like
I
appreciate
everyone's
concerns,
but
I
just
to
me
it's
interesting
because
I
know
within
the
vicinity
in
the
south
end
there's
a
numerous
amount
of
restaurants.
There's
a
number
amount
of
liquor
stores
and
all
these
safety
concerns
for
a
cannabis
dispensary
and
whether
or
not
a
customer
will
walk
out
of
that
store
and
open
up
a
package
and
smoke
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
AC
B
Thank
you.
Next,
I
have
julie,
I'm.
AD
Julie,
hoff's
resident
at
303
columbus,
I
also
own
a
unit
285
columbus
as
a
landlord.
I've
been
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
for
about
10
years,
so
I
I
share
the
concerns
that
have
been
expressed
tonight
by
a
number
of
my
fellow
residents.
I
won't
belabor
the
points
around
parking
and
the
disruption
and
and
all
of
that
to
our
to
our
neighborhood
and
homes,
but
I
did
want
to
interject
just
you
know.
Another
point
that
we
haven't
talked
about.
AD
AD
I
think
you
all
know
an
urban
service
corps
for
young
adults,
it's
roughly
300
feet
or
so
from
the
dispensary,
and
you
think
about
the
number
of
you
know:
young
adults
who
are
coming
there
and
the
influence
that
this
could
have
on
them.
Similarly,
there's
a
south
end
technology
center,
which
is
an
education
center,
providing
after
school
programming
for
children
and
adults.
It's
just
over
300
feet
away
from
the
location
of
the
dispensary,
and
so
I
know
we
talked
earlier
about
the
concerns
for
child
safety.
J
Thank
you,
julie.
You
know
we're
not
within
500
of
500
feet
of
a
school
and
that's
really
the
only
rule
in
regulation
around
having
a
cannabis
dispensary
close
to
a
school.
We
have
worked
and
and
done
plenty
of
community
outreach
in
the
neighborhood.
The
south
end
technology
center
is
actually
a
technology
center
that
offers
services
to
might
the
minority
community
who
do
not
have
access
to
technology
they
they
may
not
have
a
laptop
at
home,
and
this
you
know
this
may
seem
rare
to
you,
but
it
happens.
J
You
know
there
are
communities
within
the
south,
then
that
are
you
know
not
that
face
different
challenges.
J
Some
people
are
struggling
to
pay
their
bills
and
they
can't
afford
a
laptop
for
their
kids,
and
so
they
do
come
to
the
south
end
technology
center
we've
actually
talked
to
the
to
the
setc
and
we
have
committed
to
working
with
them
and
and
helping
them
with
grant
writing
and
other
services
that
they
may
need,
because
I'm
not
sure
if
you
know
any
of
the
residents
of
the
community
are
aware
they
have
struggled
in
the
past
years
with
funding,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
willing
to
help
them
with
and
and
we
do
care
about
this
neighborhood
and-
and
you
know,
the
kids
in
the
community.
J
B
AE
I'm
george
swallow
and
I
live
at
303
and
I'm
thank
you
for
the
time
it
just
so
happens
that
I've
been
volunteering
at
the
south
end
technical
center
for
the
last
five
years,
and
you
know
it's
very
rewarding
kind
of
work,
but
south
entangled
said
it's
kind
of
hit
on
hard
times
and
it
is,
programs
are
went
down
from
where
they
were
before,
but
historically
it's
drawn
people
from
all
over
the
city
and
people.
AE
Parents
give
their
kids
permission
to
come
here
because
of
what
the
technical
center
offers,
but
a
lot
of
the
kids
are
coming
from
places
like
hyde
park
and
west
roxbury,
where
you
know
access
to
what
category
cannabis
dispensary
is
not
very
easy
and
having
them
come
to
an
area
where
it
is,
and
there
are
older
counselors
involved
who
might
be
willing
to
go,
buy
something
for
somebody.
AE
That's
big
concern
to
me
of
you
know
how
that
might
affect
the
south
indian
technical
center,
but
back
to
so
many
other
issues.
As
far
as
the
sidewalk
goes,
I'd
like
to
note
that
there's
a
c
ps
at
the
bar
in
the
block
and
you'll
often
get
a
lot
of
people
going
there,
especially
older
people
who
are
using
canes
or
wheelchairs
to
get
down
there
and
the
blockage
in
front
of
the
area
where
the
sidewalks
narrow
on
trash
day.
It's
it's
totally
blocked.
AE
I'm
seeing
somebody
else
in
my
screen
exits.
I'm
particularly.
AE
Yeah,
okay,
so-
and
I
don't
know
what
did
I
say-
there's
on
garbage
collection
day,
if
there's
one
person
walking
down
the
sidewalk
and
you
want
to
get
by
quickly,
you
need
to
go
out
in
the
street
because
it
gets
really
cramped
in
there.
AE
And
you
know:
that's
that's
like
a
total
disaster,
and
sometimes
the
trash
is
sitting
there
from
morning
till
well
into
the
afternoon
or
or
towards
evening,
and
there's
also
post
people
coming
through
and
opening
up
the
there's,
a
storage
box
there
and
they
come
and
get
mail,
so
it
gets
crowded
in
there
and
so
traffic
is
a
big
concern.
AE
J
Thank
you,
george,
in
regards
to
your
comment
on
the
south
end
technology
center.
So
I
I've
been
in
communication
with
miguel
king,
who
runs
the
technology
center,
and
you
know
we
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
product
is
so
regulated.
One
of
the
reasons
why
there
is
a
seed
to
sale
tracking
system
called
metrics
is
to
ensure
that
the
product
doesn't
get
into
the
wrong
hands
and,
as
a
lifelong,
you
know
community
organizer.
J
B
AF
Hi
everyone.
How
are
you
I
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
me
or
see
me
desiree
again?
I
just
wanted
to
appreciate
how
open
you've
been
to
hearing
our
concerns,
but
I
really
just
wanted
to
add
a
little
bit
extra
sort
of
color
to
the
situation.
I
live
on
chandler
street,
which
is
half
a
block
down
on
the
other
side,
parallel
to
chandler
columbus,
and
we
have
a
serious
problem
with
parkings
that
overflows
from
columbus
onto
our
street.
AF
So
there
is
not
a
day
or
time
of
the
day
that
we
don't
drive
by
where
cars
are
constantly
double
parked
and
if
it's
not
for
the
residents
trying
to
find
parking.
But
it's
construction
workers
trying
to
get
to
their
job
day
in
and
day
out,
cars
barrel
down
the
road
and
in
fact,
most
of
the
construction
work
that
happens
on
columbus
ab
flows
over
and
takes
over
our
parking
on
chandler.
AF
You
know
policing
that
happens
around
the
block,
especially
since
that
is
immediately
outside
the
more
commercial
area
and
it's
much
harder
to
police
that
and
it's
hard
for
me
to
tell
people
to
stop
smoking
on
my
stoop,
because
it
puts
me
in
a
directly
confrontational
environment
with
people
who
I
don't
want
to
offend,
but
I
also
don't
want
them
to
kind
of
fill
my
personal
home
with
the
smell
of
smoke.
So
so
I
am
concerned
about
increased
access
to
marijuana,
especially
in
that
area.
AF
I
want
to
pull
my
hair
out
every
day
with
parking,
so
I
cannot
imagine
a
high
volume
business.
You
know
making
the
better
environment
for
the
people
that
worked,
and
I
really
hope
you
successful.
I
just.
I
cannot
imagine
that
this
being
the
right
location
for
for
for
my
quality
of
life,
for
my
family's
quality
of
life
and
with
that
I'll,
just
I'll
see
my
time.
H
AG
AG
B
Thank
you.
Next,
I
have
lily,
I
think
your
hand
was
raised,
but
I'm
sorry
if
it
went
down.
H
Yeah
hi
mike,
can
you
guys
hear
me
yep?
My
name
is
lydia
ocasio.
I
live
in
south
end
san
juan
street,
my
family's
been
in
this
community
for
generations.
My
great
grandfather
was
the
co-founder
of
the
villa
victoria
leaving
the
outreach
for
the
emergency
tenants
council.
H
So
with
that
being
said,
black
latinos
have
been
fighting
to
remain
and
be
a
part
of
this
neighborhood.
It's
time
that
we
start
recognizing
the
diversity
in
our
community
and
be
inclusive
to
all.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you.
J
E
J
B
Okay,
next,
I
have.
I
AH
Yep
hi,
so
I
am
a
current
tenant
in
resigning
for
the
next
year
for
the
second
apartment
of
columbus
329.
So
the
dispensary
will
definitely
affect
my
living
situation
and
my
roommates.
My
room
is
actually
the
room,
the
third
window
on
the
second
apartment.
So
it's
like
my
bed's
right
against
it
and
I
just
had
like
some
safety
concerns
regarding
the
lines
outside
and
just
like.
AH
I
don't
know
hearing
that.
There's
safety
concerns
for
you
guys
with
like
drop-offs
and
having
to
do
it
at
like
scattered,
unscheduled
times
for
the
safety
of
your
company
and
things
getting
taken,
or
I
don't
really
know
it.
Just
it's
scary
for
us
a
little
bit
and
I
don't
know
it's
just
our
main
concern
was
the
safety
I'm
all
for
our
dispensary.
AH
Just
I
don't
want
to
be
above
it
and
have
it
be
something
that
will
keep
me
up
at
night,
whether
it
be
like
the
loud
noise
or
just
the
people
outside
or
just
the
smell.
I
don't
know,
I'm
all
part
of
the
business
and
minority-owned
businesses
so
just
putting
it
out
there.
It's
more
the
safety
that
concerns
me
and
my
roommates.
B
Maddie
next
you
have
stewart.
AI
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
I
have
a
question
about
the
security
guard
who
the
company
is
deciding
in
their
process
to
hire,
will
the
security
guard
be
armed
or
unarmed,
and
will
they
only
be
in
the
store
or
will
it
be
outside
of
the
store
as
well?
Oh,
my.
H
E
I
E
The
staff
will
the
staff
of
that
the
staff
member
that's
in
charge
of
security
will
be
inside
the
store
qn
at
my
store.
Currently,
that's
how
it
is
the
staff
members
inside
of
the
store.
Sometimes
they
may
be
outside
to
attend
to
the
parking
lot,
but
in
this
location,
since
there's
no
parking
lot,
the
security
person
will
be
inside
greeting
the
customers
in
the
queuing
area,
and
so
the
second
part
of
the
question
staff
member
will
be
unarmed.
E
I
think
there's
regulations
we
can't
have
weapons
or
customers
can't
bring
weapons
to
the
facility
and
yeah.
That's
it,
and
I
hope
that.
AI
E
The
I
I
guess
it
would
have
to
vary
with
what
staff
member,
but
no,
he
would
be
trained
by
us.
Some
people
already
come
with
security
background
that
they
that
they
may
have
that
experience
being
trained
by
the
same
bpd,
maybe
or
another
entity
in
the
police
academy,
like
many
special
police
officers,
security
guards,
armed
security
guards
undergo,
but
the
staff
member
will
be
trained
by
the
store,
okay
and
probably
adhere
to
the
security
plan
of
the
consultant
of
wind
walker.
AI
Thank
you
for
the
answers.
I
live
at
303
columbus
and
have
been
there
with
my
wife
for
the
last
10
years.
The
concerns
about
traffic,
the
concerns
about
safety
for
the
residents,
the
concerns
about
parking
have
all
been
reset
today,
I'm
not
going
to
continue
to
drone
on
about
that.
AI
I
do
worry,
however,
about
the
use
and
abuse
of
the
product
after
it
leaves
the
store,
as
the
patrons
are
walking
up
and
down
the
street,
with
a
security
guard
inside
and
unwilling
and
or
unable
to
confront
the
patrons
to
be
able
to
require
them
to
adhere
to
the
document
that
you're
going
to
ask
them
all
to
sign.
It's
a
lovely
thing
to
have
this
document
to
have
him
to
sign.
It
sounds
great.
AI
So
it's
not
something
that's
preferred.
I
would
prefer
it
not
to
be
there
whatsoever,
but
at
the
same
time
I
would
prefer
not
to
see
this
store
in
its
location.
I
applaud
the
team,
I'm
thrilled
by
what
you're
attempting
to
do.
I
support
what
you're
attempting
to
do
and
I
believe
that
you
have
the
right
idea.
I
just
think
you
have
the
wrong
location.
J
Thank
you
stuart.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement
is
actually
something
that
dispensaries
all
across
boston
have
been
adapting
to,
and
many
you
know
many
of
us
in
the
cannabis
industry
believe
that,
because
of
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement
that
all
patrons
have
been
signing
across
the
city
that
you
know,
that
contributes
to
there
not
being
one
single
violation
for
the
cannabis
cannabis
board,
as
opposed
to
liquor
licenses,
who
often
have
many
violations
we're
just
not
seeing
that
that
same
effect
with
the
cannabis
board.
B
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
did
have
the
meeting
set
for
8
30.
I
believe
so.
I
will
take
as
many
questions
and
comments
up
until
that
time
we
sell
14
people
with
their
hand
raised
some,
so
please
keep
in
mind
to
keep
the
questions
and
comments
as
concise
as
possible.
Next
I
have
maria
c.
AJ
B
AK
I'm
regret
I
am
maddie's
roommate.
I
currently
live
in
the
unit.
That's
above
this
proposed
location
directly
above
a
unit
two,
I'm
a
23
year
old,
young
woman.
I
live
with
two
other
young
women
in
this
location,
and
I
think
a
couple
units
above
us
are
also
young
women
who
are
renting
these
apartments,
and
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what's
been
said
here
and
I
mostly
want
to
reiterate
and
share
my
feelings
and
perspective
as
the
unit
above
so
I
first
want
to
share
that.
AK
I
am
definitely
in
support
of
recreational
pianist,
cannabis
use
and,
of
course,
minority
owned
businesses
and,
like
many
have
said,
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea.
Just
not
here.
My
main
concern
is
safety
as
someone
who
obviously
heavily
trafficks
this
area,
the
idea
of
people
surrounding
our
apartment
for
drug
use,
potentially,
you
know
confusing
our
door
with
the
door
a
few
feet
over
and
an
overall
increased
traffic
of
people
looking
to
engage
in
substances
does
not
make
me
feel
safe,
and
the
presence
of
queries
is
definitely
not
something.
AK
Things
like
that,
and
I
and
I
I
just
believe
that
the
idea
of
exacerbating
this
already
pretty
heavily
trafficked
area
is
just
not
something
I'm
comfortable
with
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
there's
a
strong
presence
of
many
addicts,
just
a
football
field
or
two
away
at
the
back
bay
station,
and
I
worry
a
lot
about
how
this
would
impact
that
presence
there.
There
are
many
mornings
when
I've
woken
up
to
somebody
asleep
at
our
door.
Somebody
sleep
at
the
door
for
koda
where
this
property
would
be
somebody
asleep
at
the
door.
AK
One
one
wore
over
and
I
feel
concerned
about
how
this
this
would
be
worsened
and
all
together.
I
just
feel
incredibly
uncomfortable
with
the
idea
of
this
establishment
and
not
because
of
the
nature
of
the
business,
like
I
said,
I'm
a
supporter
and
of
cannabis
and
obviously
my
minority-owned
businesses,
but
because
of
the
safety
concerns
with
the
increased
foot
traffic
and
again,
I
appreciate
you
guys
calling
this
meeting
and
all
that,
but
definitely
as
as
someone
who
is
will
be
directly
impacted
by
this
as
an
upstairs
neighbor.
J
Thank
you
margaret.
I
do
just
want
to
point
out
that
you
know
cannabis
establishments
are
highly
regulated.
Our
security
plan
has
to
be
submitted
and
approved
by
the
city
and
state.
J
It
is
one
of
the
most
secure
businesses
that
you
know
that
we've
seen
in
communities
as
of
yet
also
we
we
won't
be
open
until
one
or
two
a.m.
Our
proposed
hours
of
operation
will
be
to
close
at
10
pm,
and
our
security
system
will
have
live
feed
to
the
boston
police
department,
whether
we
are
open
or
or
whether
we're
not
also
additionally,
just
having
worked
in
in
communities
where
people
have
been
impacted
and
are
struggling
with
substance
abuse,
I
believe,
a
better
term
rather
than
addicts
is.
J
B
Thank
you.
Next,
I
have
marie.
B
Okay:
next,
we
can
go
to
kate.
U
I
is
that
me.
N
No,
I
thought
I
was
unmuted,
I'm
sorry,
okay,
okay!
I
I
have
one
comment
and
one
question
so
my
my
comment
is
people
seem
to
have
a
short
memory
about
the
mask
mandate.
N
We
had
laws
governing
mass
mandates,
but
many
people
ignored
them
and
I'm
concerned
that
the
same
will
happen
to
the
good
neighbor
policy
and
my
question
has
to
do
with.
Are
there
three
people
who
are
on
this
call
for
herbal
power,
100
owners
or
what
is
your
percent
of
ownership
in
the
cannabis
dispensary.
J
Thank
you
marie.
So
our
ownership
is
strictly
amongst
us.
Three
I
am
51
owner
and
the
rest
of
the
ownership
is
divided
between
yomari
chavez
and
brian
chavez.
J
When
you
own
three
dispensaries,
you
you're
no
longer
allowed
to
have
more
than
9.99
ownership
in
another
dispensary,
and
so
brian
has
joined
our
team
to
help
me
with
the
financial
barriers
that
people
of
color
normally
face
in
entering
the
cannabis
industry.
So
yes,
it's!
It
is
only
us
three
as
owners
and
what.
N
J
M
That's
one
of
the
ways
in
which
you
can
qualify
in
part
to
be
a
boston
equity
applicant,
but
there
are
many
individuals
who
qualify
based
on
other
considerations
who
are
not
minorities,
but
the
licensee
has
to
at
all
times
maintain
the
boss,
51
or
more
of
boston,
certified
equity
status.
So,
however,
they
qualify
and
there's
a
qualification
process
through
the
city.
It's
not
subjective.
It's
written
into
the
ordinance
that
must
be
maintained
at
all
times.
At
least
51.
B
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
kate.
U
Hi,
I
just
wanted
to
say
I'm
kate
from
303
columbus
and
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement.
U
All
of
us,
I
think,
support
women-owned
and
minority
business
and
I
think
the
key
thing
is
we
want
them
to
succeed
and
I
think
the
really
key
opposition
coming
down
to
this
particular
location
and
many
people
have
have
concerns
about
traffic
and
also
the
bus
stop
and
I've
been
here
for
13
years
and
that
I
think
you
have
mentioned
that
peak
hours
week,
two
to
six
and
monday,
through
friday,
they'll
directly
coincide
with
many
bus
from
many
different
schools
coming
to
drop
off
the
kids,
which
normally
becomes
peak
hours
anyways,
and
I
think
this
would
combine
with
the
dispensaries
peak
hours
and
also
you
had
mentioned
that
it's
you're
expecting
currently
based
on
your
study
200
to
250
people
per
day.
U
And
if
you
really
narrow
it
down
to,
let's
say
most
retail
operations
said
peak
hours
would
be
50
of
their
visitors.
So
if
you
narrow
it
down
to
125
people
during
that
four
hours-
and
you
had
mentioned
that
two
minutes
per
transaction-
that's
what
you're
projecting
and
that's
31
people,
and
even
if
they're,
all
coming
by
on
foot
or
bike,
we
know
the
quota
location.
U
We
actually
frequently
visited
the
location
so
that
we
know
we
can't
you
guys
can't
house
these
bicycles,
and
I
have
a
young
child
who
was
in
a
stroller
and
as
many
people
have
mentioned,
that
it's
hard
to
get
by
with
a
stroller
with
just
by
myself,
and
on
top
of
that,
if
these
bicycles,
you
guys
have
not
mentioned
how
you
guys
going
to
house
these
bicycles,
because
we
see
it
in
front
of
cvs
when
they're
multiple
bicycles,
people
either
try
to
lock
it
to
the
trees
in
front
or
they
try
to
lead
them
and
which
it
leads
to
other
people-
and
I
know
bicycle
theft-
is
one
of
the
big
problems
in
the
city.
U
So
it
just
attracts
different
people
coming
by
and
31
people
visiting
per
hour
during
these
peak
hours
during
that
four
hour,
where
their
young
children
walking
by
and
a
lot
of
them,
are
on
scooter.
So
if
you
think
about
bicycles,
coming
out
of
your
store
and
getting
on
the
bike.
First
of
all,
this
is
incredibly
busy
traffic
intersection.
So
there's
really
no
good
place
to
get
on
the
bike
and
start
riding.
U
U
Turning
the
corner
bumping
into
even
pedestrians,
so
just
increase
traffic
just
causes
safety
on
both
bicycles
and
also
lots
of
pedestrians,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
said
they
would
rather
walk
out
to
the
street
than
just
because
there's
congestion,
and
just
looking
at
these
peak
hours,
two
to
six
pm
monday
through
friday
and
saturday,
sunday
10
to
4
p.m.
That
is
a
peak
hour
for
all
the
pedestrians
who
live
in
the
city
also,
so
I
think
that
these
numbers
just
adds
a
lot
more
congestion
which
is
leading
to
safety
issues.
U
I
think
just
for
the
pedestrian
who's
walking
and
we
want
you
to
succeed,
and
I
think
that
that's
what
we're
pointing
out
that
we
live
here,
we've
been
here
for
a
very
long
time
and
this
location
doesn't
seem
to
work
very
well
for
walking
or
bicycle
visitors.
So
I
wish
you
well,
and
we
just
don't
think
this
is
a
great
location
for
this
type
of
business.
Thank
you.
J
J
Those
numbers
seem
to
be
going
down
as
more
dispensaries
open
and
as
far
as
the
the
bikes
when,
when
we
say
we
encourage
people
to
use
the
public
bikes,
those
bikes
normally
have
stations
around
the
the
neighborhood,
so
they
won't
necessarily
have
to
try
to
park
the
bike
in
front
of
in
front
of
our
prop
in
front
of
the
property.
U
J
Can't
predict
how
our
customers
are
going
to
utilize,
the
the
bicycles,
but
I,
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
most
of
the
dispensaries
that
are
currently
operating
are
seeing
the
majority
of
their
customers
being
from
the
local
neighborhood.
I
am
in
the
neighborhood
four
days
a
week.
I
am
you
know
I
normally
will
take
the
bus
in
and
I'll
walk
around
the
neighborhood
for
four
or
five
hours
get
work
done
and
then
get
on
the
bus
back
home.
J
So
there
are
different
methods
of
transportation
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
the
south
south
end
so
unique.
The
fact
that
people
are
you
know
are
are
walking
around
the
neighborhood
and
supporting
local
businesses
constantly.
J
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
kate.
We
still
have
18
hands
raised
and
the
meeting
will
be
ending
at
8
30,
so
everyone
please
just
keep
in
mind
if
your
questions
already
been
answered,
please
all
your
your
hand.
If
you've
already
made
a
comment,
please
lower
your
hand,
but
we
will
try
to
get
through
everyone
before
this
ends.
B
Next,
I
have
james
finney.
B
AL
Hey
hello,
hi.
I
live
at
53
grace
street
first.
I
want
to
clear
up
something
I
heard
tim
make
a
couple
comments
earlier
that,
like
brian
needed,
to
get
all
these
different
investors
and
he
like
he
went
into
this
whole
big
thing
and
kind
of
like
insulted.
The
man
like
I
took
it
personal
and
I
think
that
it's
kind
of
like
disgusting
for
him
to
break
this
whole
thing
down
when
it
comes
down
to
minorities,
trying
to
do
something
positive
and
trying
to
do
things
to
help
each
other
out.
AL
So
I
find
it
very
like
insulting
that
he
could
go
come
on
something
like
a
zoom
and
try
to
break
something
down,
because
we've
been
trying
to
get
into
a
cannabis
business
like
this
for
quite
some
time
and
to
see
someone
come
on
here
and
try
to
break
someone
down
every
time.
Someone
try
to
open
up
something.
I
just
find
that
very
like
bad,
because
I
don't
see
it
happening
to
other
people,
other
people,
besides
minorities,
when
they
come
on
these
zooms
and
I've
been
on
a
lot
of
these
zooms.
AL
So
moving
on
from
there.
I
live
at
53,
great
street
in
boston
in
the
southland
area,
and
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
of
negativity
about
it's
not
going
to
work.
It's
not
going
to
do
this,
it's
because
of
the
park,
and
it's
because
of
this,
and
it's
because
of
that-
and
this
has
been
a
very
professional
company,
a
very
professional
group
and
they
have
been
trying
their
best
to
reach
out
to
the
whole
community.
AL
So
why
don't
we
just
take
a
step
back
and
listen
and
try
to
work
things
out,
because
we
don't
have
any
minority
companies
here
we
haven't,
gave
them
a
shot.
We
haven't
gave
them
any
opportunity
to
to
do
anything
around
here
like
this,
I
have
been
trying
to
get
into
this
industry.
I
think
this
is
a
good
industry
to
get
into,
and
I've
been
around
this
area
for
quite
some
time.
What
is
a
good
time
for
this?
So,
let's
embrace
it.
AL
I
I'm
in
support
of
this
a
thousand
percent,
so
they
got
my
1000
support
in
this.
In
this
area.
I've
been
around
here
more
than
a
lot
of
people,
that's
been
on
the
zoo
and
the
only
thing
I've
been
hearing
is
this
is
going
to
be
a
problem.
That's
going
to
be
a
problem,
everything's
going
to
be
a
problem
on
here.
Well,
what
is
going
to
be
a
solution?
AL
AL
Now,
there's
so
much
bad
thing
going
on
in
this
world,
and
why
can't
we
just
come
together?
You
know,
60
of
people
voted
for
this
thing
to
be
legal
and
that's
all
I'm
hearing
is
so
much.
This
is
going
to
be
a
problem.
That's
going
to
be
a
problem.
You
know
people
never
wanted
to
live
in
this
area
back
in
the
80s
and
the
90s.
Now
people
is
around
here
trying
to
say
they
don't
want
no
one
around
here
doing
anything.
There's
no
minority
businesses
around
here.
AL
I
can't
even
walk
around
here,
but
people
look
people
looking
at
me
like
I
got
like
18
heads
and
I've
been
living
around
here
longer
than
anyone
else
been
living
around
here
and
I'm
a
minority
on
grace
street
down
here
in
the
south
end.
We
should
give
this
business
a
chance
because
we
all
voted
for
it
60.
H
AM
Hi
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
yep
yeah,
just
a
couple,
quick
comments.
You
know,
I
I
think
you
know
everybody
understands.
Marijuana
is
not
only
a
stimulant,
but
it's
a
depressant,
and
while
it
has
some,
you
know,
exceptional
uses
in
terms
of
medicinal
purposes.
AM
I
think
there
is
a
large
volume
of
patrons
that
will
use
this
for
the
first
two
reasons
that
I
mentioned,
and
you
may
have
people
that
are
either
coming
down
off
of
it.
That
are,
you
know,
potentially
in
a
depressed
depressed
mode,
and
you
may
have
people
that
are
you
know,
sticking
to
seeking
to
be
stimulated.
AM
So
I
mean
I
promise
you
you're
not
gonna
have
a
lineup
of
professionals
out
the
door.
Doctors,
lawyers,
engineers,
teachers,
you
name
it.
You
know
in
line
four
for
this
product.
AM
Having
said
that,
you
know
I
purchased
a
unit
for
my
daughter
who
was
a
dental
student
in
the
building
right
right
next
door,
325.,
and
the
reason
that
I
I
spent
you
know
an
exorbitant
amount
of
money
and
purchased
a
unit
in
you
know.
The
beautiful
south
end
area
is
because
of
the
safety
issues.
AM
I
would
have
never
spent
you
know
just
shy
of
a
million
dollars
for
a
unit
in
an
area
that
I
would
I
had
any
concerns
about
safety
or
the
clientele
or
of
people.
That
would
be.
You
know
in
the
in
the
general
area
of
the
entrance
to
the
building,
etc,
and-
and
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
disheartened
to
hear
that
you
know
that
you
know
again,
you
know,
I'm
not
convinced
of
the
safety
that
has
been
addressed
a
non-uniformed.
AM
You
know
unarmed
guard,
you
know
inside
the
building.
This
is
not
going
to
address
the
these
issues.
You
know.
Had
there
been
three
years
ago,
had
there
been
this
business
in
place
right
there
I
promise
you,
I
would
have
never
purchased
in
that
in
that
area.
Thank
you.
C
Hi
everybody
I
live
at
325
columbus
avenue,
we
have
a
two-year-old
daughter,
but
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
speak
to
the
point
that
hasn't
that
haven't
been
addressed
and
I
think
miss
hawkins
attorney
hawkins
spoke
to
this
about
having
discussions
with
claris
a
clarisse
is
frequented
and
whether
or
not
we
like
business
of
clarisse
or
not
it's
it's
here.
So
we
are
dealing
with
that.
We're
trying
not
to
make
things
worse.
C
The
lines
are
long
on
thursdays,
fridays
and
saturdays,
it's
difficult
to
get
through
the
sidewalk.
But
what
concerns
me
most
is
that
those
nights
are
frequented
by
college
students
and
yes,
some
of
them
are
18
they're
not
supposed
to
be
getting
in
there
they're,
not,
let's
just
assume
they're,
not,
let's
assume
that
everybody
is
over
21.
Let's
just
say
that
there
are
so
many
college
students
in
this
area
that
no
amount
of
how
do
I
say
this,
you
call
it
a
good
neighbor
agreement
is
going
to
keep
this
going.
C
Let's
just
assume
that
everybody
this
one
friend
buys
marijuana
one
night
for
a
friend
and
then
you
guys
get
onto
him
and
you
you
ban
him
from
all
your
stores.
Well,
he's
got
10
more
friends
and
so
on
and
so
on
and
so
on.
What
is
your?
Your
business
is
going
till
10
p.m.
That's
my
understanding.
These
kids
show
up
by
seven
eight
o'clock,
long
lines:
okay,
there's
there's
no
accounting
for
taste
or
for
good
manners
or
whatever.
Maybe
college
students
come
here
to
study
hard,
and
sometimes
they
party
hard.
C
Let's
be
honest
about
this,
and
how
is
it
that
you're
going
to
control
this
college
students
come
into
your
store,
purchase
marijuana
go
across
the
street
and
smoke
it
at
the
at
the
park
smoke
it
in
the
alley
wherever
they
may
find
an
area
where
that's
accessible,
you're,
saying
it's
a
social
things.
Well,
college
students
get
together
for
social
events.
They
get
together
to
hang
out
with
their
friends.
They
will
purchase
your
your
goods.
They
will
smoke
them
likely
around
our
neighborhood
walk
into
clary's
for
more
drinks.
This
intersection
is
very,
very
busy.
C
There
are
trucks
for
deliveries
practically
all
throughout
the
day,
there's
double
parking.
I
live
at
3
25.
I
am
stay
at
home,
mom
trust
me.
I
look
up
through
the
window
and
I
see
oftentimes
I
can't
get
through
with
a
stroller.
You
are
making
a
situation,
that's
already
pretty
bad
much
worse.
For
us,
I
don't
see
how
your
business
is
benefiting
our
neighborhood
other
than
you
bringing
in
what
you're
saying
is
minority
owned
business
and
that's
fantastic,
but
how
does
it
affect
the
neighborhood?
I
think
what
you're
doing
is.
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
comments,
but
some
of
that's
a
little
repetitive.
What
we've
been
talking
to
as
we're
approaching
8
30
I'd
just
like
to
give
everyone
the
chance
to
ask
a
question,
but
thank
you.
If
you
have
any
further
questions,
please
feel
free
to
send
me
an
email,
but
next
I
have
I'm
sorry
if
I
pronounce
this
wrong
jazzinia
designer.
AN
Hi,
sorry,
you
might
hear
some
noise,
I'm
a
single
mother.
My
name
is
jose
warmsley.
I
live
on
the
south
end
charmadav
section
of
southend.
I've
heard
everything
between
safety
and
the
parks
being
littered.
I
have
a
five-year-old
and
I
also
have
a
well
a
week,
almost
two
weeks
old
now
I
do
not
take
part
in
cannabis.
I
still
support
this.
I
still
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
have
it
for
the
people
who
lived
in
that
building,
I
think
brian.
AN
I
don't
know
people's
names
like
that.
I
was
just
listening
to
the
conversation
said
that
he
wouldn't
mind
a
restaurant
there,
but
they
already
complained
about
french
fries
building
up
the
whole
thing.
I
don't
think
cannabis,
which
were
in
containers
that
they
already
said
they
weren't
gonna,
make
it
there.
You're
not
gonna,
have
the
smell
as
much
it's
going
to
be
a
problem
compared
to
french
fries
being
made
downstairs
from
you
guys
also
for
the
park
situation.
AN
There's
I
call
them
mass
avenues
and
my
five-year-olds
next
to
me
right
now,
the
people
with
mental
issues
on
mata
they
go
into
every
park.
I've
seen
it
in
almost
every
park.
I've
taken
my
daughter
to
I've,
been
checking
them
for
needles.
I've
never
seen
a
bag
of
cannabis
on
the
floor.
I've
never
seen
a
roach
on
the
floor,
it's
always
been
needles
or
anything
else.
When
it
comes
to
the
parking
we
live
in
a
city,
honey,
there's
going
to
be
parking
issues
everywhere.
AN
I
understand
the
safety
from
everybody's
point
of
view,
but
I
don't
think
that
a
cannabis
section
in
that
spot
is
going
to
be
an
issue,
so
I
hope
desiree
and
everybody
involved
gets
this
going
and
you
guys
open
up.
Thank
you.
AN
B
You
thank
you.
Next,
I
have
javier
morales.
AO
Sorry,
yes,
javier
morales,
from
43
lawrence
street,
let
me
say:
look
there's,
definitely
going
to
be
changes
in
the
neighborhood
we
may
agree
or
disagree.
They
would
be
beneficial
or
negative
to
the
neighborhood.
One
of
these
is
for
sure,
the
no
loss
of
property
values
due
to
the
presence
of
the
dispensary.
B
Thank
you.
Next,
I
have
susan.
AO
Okay,
could
you
just
at
least
make
a
comment
on
my
question.
AO
Yes,
the
question
is,
if
you're
willing
to
assume
legal
liability
in
the
case
of
a
sale
of
house,
that
the
property
value
has
decreased
due
to
the
presence
of
the
dispensary,
because
it's
very
easy
to
say:
there's
nothing,
there's
no
implications,
and
then
we
just
if
that,
if
there's
such
an
implication,
we're
just
impacted,
not
you.
So
you
better.
J
Understand
heavier
right
now:
boston
has
one
of
the
highest
property
values
across
the
nation.
There
are
11
dispensaries
open
and
there
will
be
a
minimum
of
52
dispensaries.
J
I
you
know,
I
just
don't
see:
50
dispensaries
across
the
city
of
boston,
bringing
down
the
property
value
here.
H
J
Don't
want
to
engage
in
back
and
forth.
I
just
really
want
to
answer
your
question.
There
is
a
dispensary
on
albany
street
that
dispensary
has
not
lowered
the
property
value
on
any
of
the
buildings
or
condominiums
on
that
street.
My
lawyer
can
answer
the
second
half
of
your
question
in
regards
to
assuming
legal
responsibility.
We're.
AO
M
B
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
susan.
AP
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
everyone
for
your
time
this
evening.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
call,
but
I
did
want
to
address
several
things.
AP
Number
one
is,
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
the
hours
you
have
cvs,
which
is
a
an
establishment
that
has
a
pharmacy
that
does
sell
controlled
substances
that
is
not
open
as
long
as
you
will
be
you're
proposing
being
open
from
9
a.m
to
10
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week,
cvs
is
open
from
eight
to
eight
pm.
Eight
a.m
to
eight
pm
five
days
a
week
and
10
a.m
to
5
p.m.
AP
On
saturday
and
sunday,
cleary's
another
institution
that
actually
engages
in
selling
recreational
substances
for
entertainment
is
open
five
days
a
week,
they're
closed
saturday
and
sunday.
So
I'm
not
sure
why
your
hours
need
to
be
as
long
and
for
seven
days
a
week.
AP
Secondly,
the
traffic
safety
issue:
I
know
that's
been
spoken
at
nauseum,
but
again,
I'm
going
to
reiterate
the
liquor
deliveries
that
both
cleries
and
brownstone,
as
well
as
urban
gay
grape
receives,
creates
a
huge
issue
in
terms
of
double
park
parking,
both
along
columbus
and
dartmouth
blocking
traffic
in
both
directions.
AP
You
also
had,
as
early
as
a
a
month
ago,
a
major
accident
because
of
the
traffic,
and
it
was
on
easter
sunday
at
5
p.m,
where
someone
was
taken
off
in
an
ambulance.
So
this
is
a
very
busy
intersection.
Adding
more
traffic
is
not
going
to
enhance
or
benefit
the
community
or
the
neighborhood
overall.
AP
The
other
issue
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
regulated
business.
Yes,
this
is
you
desiree.
You
say
this
is
one
of
the
most
highly,
if
not
the
most
of
the
highly
rated
highly
rated
regulated
business
in
the
commonwealth.
AP
Well,
I'd
say
right
behind
that
are
bars
and
establishments
with
liquor
licenses
and
once
their
patrons
leave
the
premises.
They
have
no
control
as
to
how
those
people
behave,
how
they
are
going
to
affect
the
neighborhood
and
all
of
us
who
live
on
chandler
street
on
columbus
avenue
and
dartmouth,
and
the
neighboring
areas
have
all
been
victims
of
the
chaos
that
some
of
these
patrons
have
brought
about.
So
we're
very
supportive
of
your
business
and
I'd
like
to
clarify
something.
AP
There
are
a
number
of
of
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color.
Flour
is
owned
by
joanne
chang
urban
grape
is
owned
by
an
a
biracial
couple.
Tim's,
which
used
to
be
in
the
old
coda
space,
which
is
the
location,
was
also
owned
by
an
african
american
club
cafe,
which
is
about
a
block
and
a
half
away,
is
owned
by
an
lgbt
member,
as
is
berkeley
perk
on
berkeley
between
claren,
between
chandler
and
and
appleton.
So
we
do
support
businesses
that
have
owners
that
are
of
color.
We
do
support
it.
AP
It's
the
reason
many
of
us
have
moved
here.
So
please
don't
misunderstand
our
objections
to
this
this
business.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
people
owning
it.
It
has
to
do
with
the
effect
to
this
community,
the
effect
to
the
safety
of
this
community
in
terms
of
the
traffic
flow,
the
the
children
that
come
in
and
out
of
their
school
bus
and
camp
buses
every
day
of
the
week.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
T
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
michael
kingham.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
south
end
technology
center,
which
was
mentioned
earlier
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
dispensary.
T
I
don't
see
this
as
being
an
issue
for
the
services
that
we
provide
and
I
support
it
because
I
think
that
one
of
the
good
things
that
I
like
about
it
is
that
it's
a
it's
another
business
owned
by
people
of
color
and
where
our
young,
the
youngsters
and
other
people
in
our
neighborhood,
can
feel
like
they
belong
to
the
south
end.
T
I
still
continue
in
the
southland
tech
center
here
discussions
from
our
young
people
about
the
way
they're
treated
in
a
lot
of
the
businesses
and
stores
in
our
community
and
then
my
other
point
is
like
people
talk
about
the
in
support
of
minority-owned
businesses,
but
it's
the
people
or
something
that
they're
talking
about
that.
They
have
a
problem
with
most
of
the
issues
with
safety,
substances
and
traffic,
and
so
when
I
see
that
that
makes
me
think
well
well,
who
are
you
who
you
feel
unsafe
with?
T
Who
are
the
people
that
they're
feeling
unsafe
with
and
that
we
do
have
a
safety
problem
in
in
in
the
south
end?
But
it's
not
because
of
marijuana
and
the
dispensary.
T
We
have
a
substance,
abuse
problem
that
is
spilling
over
into
all
the
communities
in
the
city,
and
I
would
hope
that
the
people
who
are
concerned
here
would
also
come
to
meetings
or
come
to
initiatives
that
are
working
to
help
those
people
and
help
get
those
people
off
the
street,
because
that's,
I
think,
where
this
much
of
this
comes
from,
and
I
just
think
that
there's
like
a
stigma
or
whatever
around
this
dispensary,
that
people
connect
with
some
of
this
other
stuff.
T
You
all
move
here
with
all
this
traffic.
This
traffic
has
been
here
when
many
of
you
are
people
move
here.
It's
been
here.
I've
been
here,
you
know
all
my
life
and-
and
you
know,
but
it's
been
here
for
for
the
last
40
years,
at
least,
and
so
all
of
you
move
here
with
this
traffic
here.
So
it's
part
of
the
being
in
the
city.
It's
part
of
the
south
end
and
it's
the
part
of
the
neighborhood
neighborhood
that
we
love.
J
J
B
D
Hi,
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
this
isn't
about
being
for
or
against
a
minority
owned
firm.
It's
about
the
location
and
the
appropriateness
of
this
business,
going
in
in
the
former
cota
space,
the
clientele
comparison
between
a
retail
cannabis
store
and
a
sorry,
she's,
gonna
reach
out
canvas
story,
and
the
restaurant
coda
is
like
comparing
apples
to
oranges.
It's
a
completely
different
thing.
D
D
Plus
per
hour,
it
seems
highly
prohibitive
to
utilize
garage
parking
and
in
terms
of
children
and
buses,
we
have
three
young
children
and
we
walk
to
and
from
school
on
a
daily
basis.
We
passed
just
the
space
every
day.
It's
a
highly
trafficked
area
by
families
with
young
children.
This
is
not
an
appropriate
business
for
the
space
to
cecilia's
point
about
people,
smoking
on
their
steps
and
in
their
alleyway.
We
live
on
warren
avenue
across
from
them
kinley
school.
D
I
can
tell
you
we
see
a
lot
of
this
behavior
in
our
alleyway
and
outside
our
home
on
our
steps.
I
I
don't
want
to
see
more
of
it.
This
is
not
appropriate
for
for
this
location.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AQ
Hi,
my
name
is
jessica.
I've
lived
in
the
south
end
for
41
years
on
west
adams
street.
I
propose.
I
would
like
to
support
this
proposal.
The
application
ties
in
community
and
I
believe
it
should
be
supported
as
a
woman-owned
company.
I
don't
believe
this
business
will
cause
any
problems
in
the
community
and
the
owners
are
likely
to
give
back
to
the
residents
offering
jobs.
B
AR
Hi,
thank
you
for
accepting
my
view
here
on.
What's
going
on,
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
I've
been
a
resident
in
the
south
end
for
over
35
years.
I
am
in
full
support
of
this
proposal.
I
see
it
creating
jobs.
AR
I
see
it
being
something
beneficial
for
our
community
in
the
sense
that
you
know,
minorities
are
willing
to
proliferate
and
progress
in
a
gentrified
community.
So
I
also
wanted
to
state
that
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
was
traffic
and
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
people
are
kind
of,
like
exaggerating
a
little
bit,
because
I
live
across
the
street
from
tremont
street.
There's
a
starbucks
there
and
we
suffer
every
single
day
with
the
traffic.
It's
a
huge
disturbance
but
apparently
to
the
southern
residents
is
not
so.
AR
I
don't
see
why
having
a
cannabis
location
would
be
a
concern
and
also
I
am
a
father
of
four
children.
They
go
to
the
school
locally
in
our
neighborhood
called
the
hurley
and
I've
always
been
a
huge
support
of
our
community
and
I
am
a
minority.
I
just
wanted
to
state
that,
but
I
do
work.
I
pay
my
taxes
and
I
do
pay
full
rent,
because
all
the
other
businesses
that
are
being
built
around
here,
especially
condos,
definitely
bring
up
the
property
value
and
also
the
rent.
AR
B
Thank
you
william.
Next,
I
have
rachel.
AS
Hi
everyone.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I'm
gonna
keep
this
short
and
sweet
rachel
stavis
130
appleton
street.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
and
reinforce
the
concerns
of
my
neighbors
regarding
safety,
traffic
parking
and
the
devaluation
of
property
value.
For
those
reasons,
I'm
strongly
opposed
to
the
dispensary
at
this
location.
I
firmly
support
female-owned
and
minority-owned
businesses.
I
have
no
problem
with
the
cannabis
industry.
It's
just
this
location
that
is
giving
us
all
concern.
Thank
you.
AS
B
You
next,
I
have
barry.
AT
Hi,
my
name
is
barry.
I
live
across
the
street
at
310
columbus.
Similarly
to
what
rachel
just
said,
I'm
I
don't
want
to
waste
time.
I
know
people
want
to
speak
and
I
don't
want
to
rehash
everything.
That's
brought
up,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
to
reiterate
as
a
direct
neighbor
literally
across
the
street,
that
is,
this
is
going
to
be
exacerbating
issues
that
are
already
in
place
like
parking
like
safety
and
the
like.
AT
So
someone
said
it
really
well
earlier
that
this
is
some
of
these
things
are
already
issues
and
we
just
don't
need
another
reason
for
it
to
for
be
any
worse.
So
I've
lived
across
the
street
since
2010
long-term
neighbor
here
as
well
and
really
do
support
this
business,
and
I
just
hope
that
they
can
find
another
location.
It's
just
really
a
terrible
intersection
as
it
is,
and
we
just
don't
need
any
more.
I
guess
activity
right
there
that
just
could
cause
you
know
major
safety
concerns.
AT
AT
J
I
do
just
want
to
reiterate
that
you
know
a
lot
of
the
concerns
around
traffic
are
concerns
that
are,
you
know,
they're
city-wide,
when
there
are
a
minimum
of
52
cannabis
dispensaries
operating
in
the
city
of
boston,
each
dispensary
will
operate
more
as
a
local
business
and
you
will
not
be
seeing
people
driving
in
from
out
of
town
just
to
visit
a
dispensary
there
like
the
dispensary
on
freeport
street,
has
parking.
J
There
is
a
dispensary
on
in
east
boston
that
has
a
huge
parking
lot
and
many
more
that
will
be
opening
up
over
the
next
few
years,
and
so
you
know
when
I
continue,
I'm
not
dismissing
the
concerns
of
the
community
when
they
speak
about
traffic,
but
the
population
in
boston
is
growing.
It's
going
to
continue
to
grow
traffic
is
always
going
to
be
a
concern.
J
As
a
community
organizer,
I
have
seen
neighborhood
groups
and
associations
become
stronger
in
in
their
request,
for
you
know,
proposals
to
include
parking
and
to
address
the
parking
issues,
so
it
it's.
It's
a
reasonable
concern.
It's
just
not
what
we're
seeing
in
the
cannabis
industry
today,
I
think.
J
Furthermore,
the
boston
cannabis
board
has
not
received
one
single
violation
and-
and
when
you
compare
that
to
the
liquor
licenses
in
the
south
end
in
downtown,
the
impact
is
is,
is
not
yeah,
and
I
just
not
the
one.
If
I
can
just
finish
the
impact
of
a
cannabis.
Dispensary
is
not
the
same
as
the
impact
of
the
liquor
licenses.
There
is
a
dispensary
open
on
french
street.
AT
I
just
respond
really
quickly.
I
just
I
want
to
make
a
quick
point
that
for
the
record,
if
this
was
a
starbucks,
I
was
trying
to
open
there.
I
would
feel
the
exact
same
way.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
with
you
know
you
guys,
opening
your
you
know
business.
I
support
it.
I
really
do
hope
you
find
the
right
location
for
it,
but
for
people
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
you
walk
by,
let's
say
the
starbucks
on
tremont
street
and
west
canton.
AT
You
see
the
double
parking
you
see,
that's
already
a
you
know
busy
intersection,
and
so
if
there
was
a
starbucks
trying
to
open
across
the
street,
if
there's
a
dunkin
donuts
trying
to
open
across
the
street,
I
would
feel
the
exact
same
way
because
it's
already
a
really
dangerous
intersection
with
people
already
double
parking
and
really
just
ignoring
pedestrians.
It's
really
dangerous
and
you
know
people
do
sit
on
my
front
stoop
people
do
break
into
my
vestibule.
AT
I
mean
I'm
not
saying
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
direct
response
to
what
you're
trying
to
do
here,
but
it's
already
a
problem
and
I
think
any
any
industry
that's
going
to
go
into
that
space.
That's
going
to
create
more
traffic
foot
traffic
automobile
traffic.
What
have
you
for
those
hours
seven
days
a
week
is
going
to
be
a
huge
strain
on
the
people
that
live
right
here.
So
when
you
reference
things
like
by
you
know,
td
garden,
that
is
not
a
highly
residential
neighborhood.
AT
B
Thanks
barry,
we
are
at
8
30..
There
were
three
people
that
were
still
waiting
a
while
to
speak,
so
I
will
give
them
the
chance,
but
if
everyone
could
just
try
to
keep
it
brief,
it
would
be
appreciated.
But
next
I
have
beth.
B
AU
Muted,
okay,
I
couldn't
hear
you
I'm
sorry,
I'm
in
support
of
the
shop.
I
live
in
columbus,
about
three
blocks
away
and
the
reason
I
support
it
is
because
of
the
location
because
it's
well
trafficked
in
terms
of
not
wanting
to
have
people
use
the
use,
the
use
their
pod
or
whatever.
If
it's
in
a
if
it's
in
a
location,
that's
more
off
the
beaten
track,
you're,
it's
not
as
well
trafficked
and
it's
it's
less
of
a
deterrent
for
for
people
to
not
use.
AU
So
I
think
that
in
this
way,
that
kind
of
look
this
location
is
is
good,
and
I
I
agree
with
what
I
think
it
was.
Mr
williams
or
williams
said.
Mr
king
said
that
we
all
I
moved
into
this
area
six
years
ago,
but
I
also
lived
in
the
south
end
in
1979,
78
and
79,
with
a
brief
hiatus
in
los
angeles
in
between
and
the
traffic's
always
been
here,
and
we
can't
just
go
corner
by
corner
and
just
knock
away
all
the
commercial
businesses.
AU
So
the
person
who
said
they'd
be
opposed
to
starbucks.
I
can
appreciate
that
we
don't
want
traffic,
but
there's
going
to
be
a
business
there
and,
quite
frankly,
I
get
have
a
bigger
problem
with
the
weekend
partiers
than
I
do
with
people
that
are
suffering
from
mental
illness
or
using
you
know,
or
having
difficulty
with
substances
that
are
that
are
around
my
building
as
well.
And
so
I
don't.
AU
I
did
talk
to
people
at
victoria,
not
victoria
victory
partners
when
they
were
in
contact
with
the
shop
that
might
that's
going
to
go
in
on
stanhope
eventually,
and
I
asked
them
very
specifically
about
the
correlation
and
they
didn't
have
any
direct
correlation
that
they
could
share
with
us.
In
terms
of
you
know
this
promoting
more
substance,
use
or
anything
like
that,
so
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
get
educated
about
it.
I
just
also
I'll
wrap
it
up.
AU
I
I
just
returned
from
los
angeles,
where
they
have
lots
and
lots
of
stores,
and
it's
they're
they're,
better
neighbors
in
some
way,
because
they
are
so
wet
regulated
and
there
just
isn't
the
sort
of
the
line
and
the
worry
and
the
headache
that
persists
at
bars.
So
I'm
I'm
in
support
of
this
in
its
in
its
location.
Thank
you.
J
B
You
beth
thank
you.
Next,
I
have
helen.
AV
Hi
I
live
at
285
columbus,
I'm
very
in
support
of
women-owned
businesses
and
minority-owned
businesses.
My
math
says
you
said
200
people
a
day
is
your
business
model?
That's
1400
people
a
week
in
and
out
of
that
store
18
an
hour.
If
my
math
is
right,
which
I'm
pretty
sure
it
is
so
that
being
said,
I
don't
understand
I.
I
guess
I
would
question:
how
are
you
going
with
that
magnitude
of
people
in
and
out?
How
are
you
going
to
be
able
to
get
people
to
sign
a
friendly
neighbor
commitment,
the
traffic
issues?
AV
AV
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
be
able
to
control
whether
or
not
people
are
friendly
neighbors
and
it
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
control
the
people
in
and
out.
So
I
would
kind
of
throw
it
back
at
you.
I
mean
what
kind
of
assurances
are
you
going
to
be
able
to
give
us
that
you
are
going
to
be
able
to
basically
be
successful
with
everything
that
you
suggested
to
us
today
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
do
to
give
us
assurances
that
it
isn't
going
to
cause
congestion?
AV
There
aren't
going
to
be
people
milling
about
we're
not
going
to
get
bicycles,
we're
not
going
to
get
a
ton
of
traffic.
That's
it!
That's
a
big
big
number
in
and
out
of
that
store.
J
Helen,
thank
you.
I
mean
I.
I
believe
that
when
the
p,
when
our
patrons
come
in
to
to
purchase
as
first
time
patrons,
they
will
be
a
lot,
they
will
have
to
sign
the
good
neighbor
agreement
once
that
neighbor
agreement
is
signed
by
the
patron,
it
will
go
on
file
with
their
name.
J
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
there
are
200
dispensaries
open
and
what
we're
seeing
is
as
dispensaries
open
the
number
of
clients
per
day
at
each
dispensary
is
lowering
18.
If,
if
I
can
just
finish,
please
18
customers
an
hour
is
about
half
the
amount
of
the
convenience
store.
That's
on
dartmouth
street
there's
way
more
in
and
out
patrons
come
in.
They
buy
cigarettes,
they
buy
water,
they
buy
snacks,
they
walk
out
and
they
continue
moving.
J
AV
For
well
all
right,
I
I
will
see
the
floor
to
somebody
else,
I'm
just
going
to
say
there's
a
lot
of
conjecture
in
your
business
plan.
There
just
is
and-
and
it
just
makes
it
difficult
to
be
in
favor
of
it.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
then
I'll
take
the
last
person
with
their
hand
raised,
and
then
we
can
wrap
up
for
the
night.
So
next
I
have
raul.
Thank.
Z
I
know
the
area
very
well,
but
I
would
like
to
put
a
word
of
warning
if,
if
you
are
guys
familiar
with
the
netapp
in
brookline,
that
is
a
dispensary
that
dispensary
I
usually
go
every
morning
through
harvard
street
and
route
9,
and
I
see
the
lines
there.
But
there
is
one
important
thing
on
netapp:
they
have
an
area
where
the
people
that
is
in
line
cueing,
they
have
a
good
space
and
they
have
a
good
protection
with
police
and
everything
else
that
is
missing
in
this
location
that
you
are
trying
to
set
up.
Z
Also,
I
am
very
happy
to
see
that
you
are
trying
to
enforce
a
friendly
neighborhood
agreement.
A
good
business
plan
should
have
a
good
friendly,
neighborhood
agreement,
but
I
would
like
to
know
who
is
going
to
enforce
it?
How
is
it
going
to
be
enforced
with
200
people
daily?
Do
you
know
the
amount
of
paperwork
you
have
to
to
to
just
keep
track
of
these
people,
and
I
made
a
calculation
assuming
that
you
guys
are
extremely
efficient
and
every
guy
that
goes
and
buys
at
your
at
your
store
will
spend
five
minutes
assuming
five
minutes.
Z
Z
Basically,
so
you're
gonna
have
the
truck
that
comes
to
pick
up
the
cash.
Also
you're
gonna
have
the
movement
of
the
cash.
I
don't
know
how
many
times
a
day.
Also
you're
gonna
have
the
movement
of
the
product.
You
don't
have
an
area
to
receive
and
ship,
so
that
has
to
be
done
in
front
of
the
of
the
store
and
creating
more
problems
that
we
have
talked
the
same
thing
for
bicycles.
You
assume
that
the
guys
that
come
in
bicycles
are
on
rented
bicycles,
how
about
if
they
have
their
own
bicycles?
Z
J
Thank
you
viral
just
to
clarify
cannabis
establishments
do
tend
to
be
cash
businesses,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
accepting
debit
cards,
so
they're
not
only
cash.
The
average
consume
the
average
sales
time
has
been
marked
to
around
two
minutes
by
other
dispensaries
in
the
city
of
boston.
J
J
J
Me
we
have
an
extensive
security
plan
which
was
conducted
by
windwalker.
They
have
been
conducting
all
the
security.
They
have
been
completing
all
this
most
of
the
security
plans
for
many
of
the
cannabis
establishments
and
have
been
used
by
the
city
of
boston.
So
we're
very
confident
in
in
the
comprehensive
plan
that
they've
put
together
for
us.
I.
U
J
J
I
AG
Z
Appreciate
you
trying
to
hold
on
for
a
couple
of
more
minutes-
and
I
want
to
thank
you
but
also
tell
you
that
in
a
cash
business
you
I
don't
know
what
the
percentage
is
debit
card
with
cash.
But
I
think
mainly
this
is
a
cash
business
and
principally
that
could
bring
close
criminals
to
attack
people
that
is
bringing
cash
with
them
to
buy.
That.
Z
B
All
right,
thank
you,
everybody,
so
with
that
we
can
wrap
up
for
the
evening,
like
desiree
said,
if
you
have
any
further
questions
on
the
proposal
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
them.
I
believe
she
put
her
email
in
the
chat
and
then
I'll
put
mine
as
well.
In
case
you
have
any
questions
more
than
happy
to
connect
you
to
the
project
team
too,
or
if
you
have
any
other
city
related
questions,
and
then
this
meeting
is
recorded.
B
B
And
feel
free
to
send
any
letters
of
support,
opposition
non-opposition
anything
to
the
cannabis
board
too,
and
I'll
put
their
email
in
there
as
well.
