Liaison Name: Conor Newman
Host Neighborhood: Brighton
Date: Thursday, February 17, 2022, 6 p.m.
Applicant Name: Pure Oasis
Address: 535 Washington Street
License Type: Retail Cannabis License
A
A
This
is
an
application
by
pure
oasis
llc
for
a
retail
recreational
cannabis
license
to
be
operated
at
the
address
of
535
washington
street
in
brighton.
Before
we
start
I'd
like
to
go
over
my
expectations
for
tonight's
meetings,
we've
participated
in
multiple
meetings
of
this
kind,
and
I
know
this.
This
is
a
sensitive
topic
previously.
I
think
another
a
number
of
residents
have
already
participated
in
a
similar
meeting
for
this
same
address
with
the
same
applicant.
A
So
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
no
decisions
are
being
made
here
tonight
and
no
time
will
be
acceptable
to
be
disrespectful
to
anyone
during
the
meeting
mike
ross
can
attest.
I've
had
to
kick
people
out
before
from
other
meetings.
So
we'll
do
so.
If
we
can't
be
respectful
and
be
adults,
everyone
is
entitled
to
their
opinion.
There
is
no
right
or
wrong
opinion.
We're
here
tonight
to
collect
as
many
comments
and
questions
for
this
proposal.
I'm
not
here
to
facilitate
a
debate
amongst
residents
or
litigate
state
legislation.
A
There's
a
chat
function
in
the
right
hand
corner
it's
there
for
folks
to
ask
questions.
They
don't
feel
comfortable
raising
their
hand,
it's
not
there
to
function
as
a
debate.
This
is
not
facebook.
This
is
not
social
media.
If
I
see
debate
going
on
amongst
residents,
I
will
eject
you.
I
will
ask
that
all
questions
be
directed
towards
the
applicant
and
myself.
Only
the
applicant
will
answer
all
questions
related
to
their
proposal
to
the
best
of
their
ability,
and
I
will
answer
questions
specific
to
the
city's
process.
A
This
is
an
open
comment
period,
meaning
that,
if
you
do
not
get
called
on
tonight
or
if
you
think
of
a
question
that
has
not
been
answered
after
the
meeting
is
concluded,
all
you
need
to
do
is
reach
out
to
the
mayor's
office
and
we'll
work
to
get
you
that
information.
My
contact
mission
has
been
included
on
the
flyer
you
received
attending
this
meeting.
B
A
Our
office
will
be
collecting
comments
up
until
that
hearing
date
and
in
the
event
that
they
are
approved,
and
they
go
on
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
We
will
continue
to
collect
comments
as
well
forwarding
those
to
the
relative.
You
know
to
the
related
bodies
that
will
make
the
determination
of
whether
or
not
to
grant
this
license.
A
C
Great
thanks
connor
in
in
this
case
very
proud
to
turn
the
heavy
lifting
over
to
our
principal
kobe
evans,
who
you
know,
is
the
person
who
would
actually
be
operating
this
this
facility,
so
you
won't
you'll,
be
hearing
from
me.
Maybe
if
there's
some
questions
or
some
topics
that
come
up
kobe,
I
I
have
the
presentation.
If
you
need
me
to
open
it,
but
you
probably
have
it
on
your
computer.
If
you
want
to
take
it
over
the
floor,
is
yours.
C
D
C
H
C
C
B
D
D
D
We
hired
an
independent
traffic
engineer
who
did
not
only
a
traffic
study,
but
they
also
did
a
parking
study
and
that
engineer
is
jeff
bandini
and
he
is
here
from
mcmahon
and
associates
and
he'll
be
doing
part
of
this
presentation
since
we're
doing
this.
For
a
second
time,
a
lot
of
it
is
obligatory
for
state
and
local
regulations,
and
so
we're
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
on
the
actual
presentation
that
we've
done
before.
D
But
what
I
have
done
is
in
the
chat.
You
will
find
my
email
address
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
any
follow-up
questions
any
individual
specific
questions.
I
am
available
after
this
presentation
to
answer
any
specific
questions
regarding
on
our
proposal,
but
for
now
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
and
give
a
high
level
presentation.
D
I
want
to
save
most
of
the
time
in
our
presentation
for
feedback
from
community
members,
but
more
so
give
jeff
an
opportunity
to
present
his
findings
regarding
traffic
and
parking.
So
with
that
being
said,
we
we
kevin,
and
I
we
own
pure
oasis,
we're
boston's.
First
recreational
cannabis:
dispensary
we've
been
open
since
march
of
2020,
going
on
two
years
in
the
cannabis
industry,
because
it's
so
busy
time
is
almost
measured
in
dog
years.
D
So
two
years
in
operation
is
probably
more
synonymous
with
maybe
five
years
or
so
we
opened
in
2020,
we've
been
you
know,
kind
of
immersed
in
our
business
for
the
last
two
years.
To
that
end,
you'll
notice,
down
in
this
part
of
the
presentation
from
2020
and
2021,
we
won
boss,
magazine's
best
pot
shop
in
boston.
D
D
This
is
just
an
overhead
kind
of
surface
level
view
of
the
design
elements
of
the
shop
in
terms
of
coming
in
and
going
out
we're
still
working
through
some
of
the
design
elements
more
more
more
pictures.
I
think
that
part
of
the
feedback
that
we
got
from
one
of
the
earlier
meetings
is
that
people
wanted
to
see
more
pictures
of
what
the
finished
design
will
look
like,
and
so
to
that
end,
we
wanted
to
present
more
and
share
more
with
the
community
again
just
diving
into
feedback
from
the
community.
D
We
hired
an
independent
company
to
conduct
a
traffic
study
and
what
we'll
be
doing
to
address
traffic
issues
is
providing
off
street
parking
for
employees
in
the
back
of
the
site.
There
are
a
couple
of
parking
spaces
where
we
weren't
going
to
use
those
for
off
street
employee
parking,
but
now
going
forward,
those
will
be
available
for
employee
parking
and
then
also
we
have
secured
some
additional
off
off-street
employee
parking
on
fairbank
street.
B
D
To
9
pm
and
then
also
just
you
know,
kevin
and
I
have
been
out
in
the
community,
as
you
guys
know,
the
last
few
weeks
talking
to
residents
emailing
walking
the
neighborhoods
talking
to
people,
doing
more
outreach
and
really
hearing
from
people
in
terms
of
what
their
concerns
are.
At
this
point,
we're
going
to
do
two
things,
one
I'm
going
to
bring
in
jeff
and
he's
going
to
talk
about
his
presentation
and
then,
on
the
other
end
of
his
presentation.
I
So,
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
and-
and
kobe
had
done
this
already
just
pointing
out
the
site
location
in
the
the
context
of
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
so
we
would
retrofit
the
former
dry
cleaning
building
the
proposed
dispensary
is
a
little
under
4,
000
overall
square
feet
and
kobe
did
mention
the
full
access
driveway
on
the
rear
of
the
site.
That
would
provide
access
for
employee
parking
so
that
those
vehicles
would
not
be
subjected
to
parking
on
the
street
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
basically,
we
did
our
traffic
study
to
demonstrate
the
proposed
impact
of
the
study
of
the
proposed
development
on
the
study
and
what
we
did
was
look
at
the
trip
generation
from
the
institute
of
transportation
engineers,
which
is
a
national
organization
that
compiles
a
list
of
different
uses
and
the
number
of
trips
generated
with
those
proposed
uses
based
on
independent
variables,
whether
that
be
size
of
the
facility
or
square
footage,
or
things
like
that.
So
ite
has
a
what
they
call
a
land
use
code.
I
That
indicates
how
many
trips
would
be
generated
by
a
proposed
marijuana,
dispensary
based
on
the
square
footage,
and
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
the
number
of
just
the
methodology.
We
looked
at
the
peak
hour
of
the
proposed
facility
and
put
that
in
in
terms
of
like
what
that
size
would
would
demonstrate
in
in
terms
of
the
overall
impact,
and
that
would
be
you
know,
during
the
weekday
afternoon,
peak
period
when
it's
anticipated
that
the
proposed
number
of
trips
to
the
site
would
be
greatest.
I
I
So
there's
the
this
area
of
brighton
benefits
from
excellent,
multimodal
and
public
transportation
use
the
two
mbta
bus
stops
that
run
basically
right
in
front
of
the
site
along
washington
street
bus
route.
57
as
a
stop
directly,
you
know
400
feet,
450
feet.
Excuse
me,
west
of
the
site
and
route
501
has
a
bus
stop
directly
across
the
street,
and
you
know
what
I'll
demonstrate
a
little
bit
later.
Is
that
the
you
know
there's?
I
Certainly
you
know
enhanced
access
for
multimodal
approaches
via
bicycles
or
pedestrians
as
well
that
have
the
ability
to
access
the
site
beyond
just
the
normal.
You
know,
driving
to
the
site,
finding
a
parking
space
and
walking
in
so
you
know,
based
on
the
composition
of
the
study
area,
that
that's,
you
know,
gives
a
a
multimodal
approach
to
this
site
and
not
just
single
occupancy
vehicles
either
next
slide
kobe.
I
I
We
looked
at
the
amount
of
unrestricted
parking
in
the
study
area
and
there
is
also
a
bicycle
facility
along
washington
street
that
provides
that
ability
for
bicycles
to
access
the
site
without
having
to
you
know
fight
with
the
adjacent
vehicle
traffic
they
have
their
own
lane,
so
they
can
travel
to
the
site
and
again,
this
all
kind
of
speaks
to
the
the
composition
of
the
study
area
and
how
we
anticipate
that.
Not
every
patron
that
visits
the
site
will
be
a
single,
unique
single
occupancy
vehicle
next
slide,
please
so
I
did.
I
I
did
kind
of
mention
that
already
so
the
u.s
census
bureau
puts
out
what
we
call
mode:
split
data
for
different
cities
and
towns
and
communities
and
for
brighton.
What
we
found
was
that
about
fifty
percent
of
the
vehicles
that
travel
to
retail
trips
do
so
by
vehicle
and
that
other
50
is
comprised
of
transit
operations
and
then
14
of
it
is
bicycle
or
walk
trip.
I
So
this
is
just
how
we
we
kind
of
rolled
all
this
information
into
our
parking
evaluation.
Summary
again,
I
talked
about
the
ite
trip
generation
and
then
that
mode
split
so
essentially
the
ite
indicates
it'd
be
50
vehicle
trips
during
the
peak
hour.
That
mode
split
indicates
50
percent
of
those
would
be
vehicle
trips,
so
we
come
out
to
about
25
unique
vehicle
trips
per
hour
and
essentially,
what
that
does.
I
It
does
not
take
into
account
the
number
of
trips
that
are
traveling
along
washington
street.
That
may
just
decide
to
stop
in
to
the
proposed
facility
and
and
and
patronize
the
site.
What
what
essentially,
what
that
means
is
that
the
amount
of
impact
on
washington
street
in
the
neighboring
study
area
would
actually
be
significantly
less,
because
there
would
be
some
expectation
that
vehicles
traveling
along
washington,
washington
street,
would
see
the
development
decide
to
stop
in.
I
I
So,
in
order
to
kind
of
examine
the
amount
of
capacity
that
we
would
need
in
terms
of
the
available
parking,
we
performed
a
parking
utilization
study
on
thursday
december
16th
from
5
to
6
30.,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
a
little
bit.
The
proposed
site
is,
is
located
right
in
the
middle
of
this
graphic
here
right
on
the
corner
of
fairbanks
and
across
the
street
from
langley.
I
So
we
did.
Was
we
scoped
our
study
area
based
on
about
a
five
minute,
walk
along
washington
street
about
700
feet?
We
established
that
basically,
the
amount
of
walking
distance
that
that
somebody
would
feel
comfortable
walking
to
the
site.
Again.
You
know
we.
We
cut
it
off
a
little
to
the
east
west
of
the
the
lake
street
brock
street
intersection
and
then
some
of
the
residences,
the
residential
roadways
a
little
to
the
north,
probably
about
for
about
a
hundred
feet.
I
So
when
we
examine
the
study
area,
we
found
that
there's
157
on-street
parking
spaces
and
we
split
our
90-minute
parking
utilization
study
into
15-minute
increments
and
established
what
that
highest.
15-Minute
interval
would
be
within
the
90
minutes
and
found
that
to
be
from
the
highest
utilization
occurred
during
6
to
6
15
pm
and
that
during
that
time
there
were
33
parking
spaces
available.
I
That
we
would
anticipate
would
be
used
by
folks
that
would
be
patronizing
the
proposed
pure
oasis
facility,
and
so
those
33
parking
spaces
fits
you
know,
would
provide
adequate
capacity
to
the
amount
of
parking
that
we
established
that
we
would
need
based
on
the
ite
trip
generation,
the
mode
split
data
for
brighton,
the
anticipation
that
some
of
the
vehicles
would
be
traveling
via
bike,
pedestrian
and
transit,
and
also
that
doesn't
account
for
vehicles.
That
would
be
you
know,
driving
on
washington
street.
That
would
decide
to
stop
on
the
way
home.
I
So
this
examines
our
you
know
just
a
piece
of
our
traffic
analysis
in
terms
of
the
overall
impact
on
delay,
and
you
know
additional
traffic
volume
that
we
expect
on
on
washington
street.
So
we
performed
a
traffic
count
at
the
intersection
of
washington
at
fairbanks
and
langley,
and
we
ran
a
synchro
capacity
analysis
based
on
the
highway
capacity
manual,
which
is
put
together
by
the
transportation
research
board.
It's
you
know
the
widely
accepted
transportation
analysis
tool
that
we
have
at
our
disposal
to
measure
delay
within
a
study
area.
I
So
what
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
overall
increase
in
traffic
volumes
on
on
washington
street?
So
it's
about
11,
500
vehicles
a
day
now
with
the
pure
oasis,
we
anticipate
about
a
little
less
than
twelve
thousand.
So
that's
about
an
increase
of
about
400
trips
per
day.
So
that's
approximately
a
four
percent
increase
and
I
think
what
kobe
mentioned
in
the
first
couple
of
slides
is
important
as
well
when
he
demonstrated.
You
know
that
the
dry
cleaners
was
in
operation.
I
Don't
necess
aren't
necessarily
subjected
to
that
mode
split
because
you
know
patrons
of
dry
cleaners,
don't
necessarily
you
know,
use
the
bus
or
you
know,
bike
to
the
site
or
walk
down
the
street
with
their.
You
know,
loads
of
laundry,
so
those
that
sort
of
use
is
a
little
bit
more
associated
with
a
single
vehicle
occupancy
use,
whereas
something
like
a
cannabis
facility
is
is
not
necessarily
associated
with
that.
You
know
there
are
other
ways
of
traveling
to
the
site.
I
J
I
I
D
Thanks
jeff
thanks
kobe,
in
addition
to
you,
know,
doing
an
analysis
of
the
existing
parking
conditions.
We
also
have
secured
some
additional
off-site
parking,
we're
going
to
use
the
space
that
we
have
at
the
dispensary,
for
you
knows
a
little
bit
of
staff
parking
for
two
cars,
and
then
there
is
some
additional
parking
off
fairbank
street,
for
you
know
overflow
satellite
parking
for
staff.
D
D
Overall,
I'm
just
talking
about
operations
and
community
collaborations.
One
of
the
things
that
we
pride
ourselves
on
is
being
a
good
community
partner
in
our
existing
location
in
dorchester
for
brighton
again,
we're
looking
at
reducing
our
hours
from
10
p.m,
to
9,
00
p.m.
So
far,
we've
gathered
over
200
letters
of
support
and
we
are
continuing
to
do
more
outreach.
D
Security
is
key.
Building
up
dorchester
as
well
as
this
location.
We
lean
on
our
security
consultant
who
formerly
worked
for
boston
police
department,
dan
linsky
and
dan,
and
his
team
at
kroll
have
been
our
partners
in
developing
safety
plans,
as
well
as
security
plans
that
work
directly
with
boston
police
department
so
that
they
are
dialed
into
our
camera
systems
and
panic
buttons.
And
so,
if
there's
enough
emergency,
we
have
that
existing
partnership
and
and
the
responsiveness
is
is,
is
existing.
D
Loitering
is
a
big
issue
for
us,
but
surprisingly
we
don't
have
any
loitering
issues
over
in
dorchester.
We
thought
that
would
be
a
big
issue,
but
I
think
that
people
think
of
loitering
as
it
relates
to
maybe
a
liquor
store,
but
what
we
found
is
we
try
and
you
know,
engage
our
customers,
but
our
customers
want
to
get
in
quickly
purchase
what
they
are
looking
to
purchase
and
get
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
D
So
loadering
is
a
non-issue
and
we
have
that
experience
to
speak
to
that
diversion
is
a
big
key
in
terms
of
any
of
our
product
getting
into
the
hands
of
someone
under
21
we're
hyper
sensitive
about
those
issues
and
we
have
security
inside
and
outside.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
yet
to
mention
in
terms
of
dealing
with
parking
is
that
we've.
D
We
know
how
to
have
a
good
security
presence
in
our
existing
location,
and
we
are
going
to
replicate
that
in
brighton
to
deal
with
any
people
that
might
be
double
parking.
If
we
find
that
you
are.
One
of
the
things
we
do
in
in
in
dorchester
is
that
our
staff
is
trained,
that
if
they
see
someone
parking
illegally,
they
cannot
enter
the
store
until
they
park
in
a
safe
designated
parking
area,
and
so
we're
going
to
employ
that
in
brighton,
as
well
as
that.
D
D
What
we
found
in
this
industry
is
that
when
we
hire
from
the
community
does
a
couple
of
things
and
as
it
relates
to
brighton,
one
of
the
good
things
is
that
people
aren't
driving
the
work,
they're
biking
to
work,
they're,
taking
the
bus,
the
uber
or
walking,
and
so
we
really
have
a
strong
emphasis
on
hiring
local
and
then
just
working
with
the
city.
You
know,
based
on
our
experience
in
opening
up
grove
hall
in
dorchester.
We
had
such
a
great
relationship
with
our
partners
in
the
city
of
boston.
D
D
A
A
Them
so
folks,
you
can
digitally
raise
your
hand.
If
you
look
below
there
should
be
the
option.
It
should
be
a
smiley
face
with
a
plus
sign.
You
can
digitally
raise
your
hand.
I
know
we
have
a
number
of
people
who
are
calling
in
via
phone.
You
can
also
hit
star
three
and
that
will
also
digitally
raise
your
hand,
and
I
can
also
know
that
you
have
a
question
or
comment.
I
just
remind
folks,
please
be
respectful
and
comment
should
be
directed
either
toward
myself
regarding
the
city
process
or
to
the
applicants.
A
I
I
A
A
D
B
H
The
parking
is
tight
already
I
heard-
and
I
listened
to
the
traffic
studies-
a
lot
of
numbers
that
were
pretty
technical
in
many
ways,
but
I've
seen
the
traffic
there
for
30
years,
and
I
know
how
tight
it
is.
One
of
the
things
you
mentioned
was
well.
There
was
a
dry
cleaner
there
and
that
had
parking.
Well,
they
had
a
a
reserved
script
right
on
washington
street
where
for
people
to
pull
up
drop
off
their
clothes,
pick
them
up
and
leave.
H
If,
if
you
haven't
seen
how
busy
that
gets
during
peak
hours,
I
I
I
just
don't
know
how
you'll
have
to
see
it.
You
say
your
peak
is
like
from
five
to
six
a
lot
of
people
who
live
in,
that
neighborhood
drive
to
work
and
they're
coming
home
at
that
time
and
they're
looking
for
parking
spots,
and
they
don't
necessarily
look
on
washington
street.
They
do
there,
but
they
also
look
on
the
side.
H
Streets
and
you're
parking
for
your
establishment
is
going
to
go
up
fairbank
street
and
it's
make
it
very
very
hard
to
park
there.
A
big
issue
I
have
is
who's
going
to
be
coming
into
the
neighborhood.
I
looked
at
yelp
for
your
dorchester
site.
I
visited
your
dorchester
site.
I
looked
at
reviews
on
yelp
and
the
reviews
were
from
all
over
the
place.
I
think
there
were
35
reviews
and
23
of
them
were
from
out
of
state
or
out
of
area
and
the
remaining
10
or
12.
They
just
said
boston.
H
So
there
was
nobody
from
dorchester
who
was
reviewing
your
store,
but
seeing
that
there
were
23
people,
even
somebody
from
spain
reviewed
it.
So
we're
bringing
a
lot
of
people
into
this
neighborhood
who
normally
wouldn't
be
there,
and
that's,
of
course,
going
to
take
up
the
traffic
spots
and
everything
and
that's
going
to
hurt
the
businesses
that
are
there,
the
little
businesses,
the
mom
and
pop
stuff.
H
The
size
of
this
dry
cleaners
is
enormous,
4
000
square
feet,
we're
not
talking
a
small
storefront,
we're
talking
a
huge
store,
and
I
think
that
you're
underestimating
the
numbers
of
people
who
are
going
to
come
there
going
back
to
the
fact
that
my
house
is
right
next
door,
you're
mandated
to
have
lights,
cameras,
security
people
you
just
mentioned
you're
gonna
have
people
out
directing
traffic.
Now
this
is
already
a
safe
neighborhood.
H
Okay
and
those
are
your
peak
hours.
So
just
imagine
now
you're
going
to
have
people
who
are
going
to
want
to
make
u-turns
we're
going
to
try
to
find
parking
spots,
we're
going
to
back
into
parking
spots,
it's
going
to
be
a
mess
and-
and
and
finally
I
want
to
address
that
parking
for
your
employees
in
the
back
on
the
overlay
you
had,
you
had
a
rectangle
marking
the
parking
area.
Well,
you
included
my
property
back
there.
H
H
I
went
around
to
the
neighbors
to
say:
can
we
pave
this
and
who
ended
up
paying
for
paving
it?
I
did,
and
my
brother
did
and
one
other
person
the
gentleman
whose
lot
it
is
refused
to
go
along
with
us
to
pave
it.
So
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
here
and
I'll
close
up
by
saying
exactly
everything
that
I
said.
My
building
is
right.
Next
to
yours,
there's
an
alleyway
between
it
30
inches
wide.
H
A
K
K
So,
first
of
all,
let
me
point
out
that
december
16th
a
lot
of
the
traffic
that
we
have
comes
from
not
only
as
my
neighbor
just
articulated,
but
we
have
a
large
student
population
and
I
suspect
that
on
december
16th
a
lot
of
the
students
have
gone
home
for
a
short
term
vacation
at
that
time.
So
it's
possible.
K
K
K
The
amount
of
traffic
that
a
cannabis
store
will
bring
in
is
only
going
to
add
to
that
danger
and
to
subject
us
as
residents
in
this
area,
to
have
to
worry
about
that
that
there's
a
crosswalk
right
there
at
that
corner
on
the
corner
of
fairbanks
and
washington
street,
where
people
cross
come
and
go
and,
as
I
said,
there's
already
car
accidents
there
there's
a
safety
issue.
We
have
three
schools
in
the
neighborhood.
There
are
buses,
there
are
children
that
are
walking.
There
are
people
with
carriages
baby
carriages
there.
K
As
you
said,
people
riding
bicycles,
so
I'm
concerned
as
a
resident
here
not
only
about
the
traffic
and
and
the
parking,
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
increase
of
traffic,
even
if
it's
only
a
small
number.
The
increase
that
it
brings
is
enough
that
again
we
had
a
car
accident
there
just
on
saturday-
and
I
don't
know
if
your
study
included,
how
many
car
accidents
there
are.
K
So
I'm
worried
about
I'm
worried
about
the
danger
of
bringing
in
a
business
that
is
going
to
have,
even
if
it's
pedestrians,
who
could
possibly
be
hurt
or
injured
and
of
note
when
one
of
the
pictures
that
you
showed
at
the
beginning,
you
talk
about
the
parking
and
you'll
make
sure
that
people
park
legally.
There's
a
in
one
of
your
pictures.
There's
a
car.
K
That's
parked
right
in
front
of
the
fire
hydrant
in
front
of
the
building
there,
which
is
something
so
you
automatically
lose
a
space
right
in
front
of
your
building
because
you
have
a
fire
hydrant
there.
So
I
you
know
again,
I
I
don't
want
to
hold
up
this
meeting.
I'm
sure
there
are
other
people
that
want
to
speak,
but
I'm
really
really
concerned
about
the
danger
that
an
increase
of
people
that
a
cannabis
store
will
bring,
whether
it's
pedestrians
or
traffic,
whether
it's
by
bicycle.
K
L
Okay,
so
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you,
connor,
and
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
actually
in
a
position
of
this
proposal
for
variety
of
reasons.
One
is
the
traffic
issue
that
people
have
talked.
I
was
actually
a
little
bit
surprised
about
hearing
you
saying:
okay,
you're
gonna
have
employees
parking
in
the
back
of
the
building,
but
also
you're
gonna
have
delivery
trucks
parking
there.
Well,
there's
no
way
delivery
truck
could
actually
go
into
that
little
space
in
there
with
other
people
parking
in
there.
L
So
delivery
truck.
That's
been
actually
incredible.
Problem
in
brighton,
always
right,
delivery
truck
like
around
washington
street,
stopping
there
and
blocking
traffic.
You
know
like
people's
way
to
get
inside,
creating
incredibly
dangerous
situations
for
people
that
are
driving
or
people
that
are
walking
or
trying
to
cross
the
street
like
blocking
people's
view.
So
your
delivery
truck
is
going
to
add
to
that.
L
L
We
all
lived
here
for
years.
I
left
here
more
than
20
years,
people
just
talked:
they
left
30
40
years,
so
we
have
combined
experience
of
living
here
for
years
and
years
and
years,
it's
not
just
a
day
or
two
of
like
doing
study
in
in
the
neighborhood.
Today
I
was
walking
down
the
neighborhood.
I
noticed
30
people
from
outside
the
boston
with
licensed
places
outside
massachusetts
parking
on
langley
road.
I
was
like
whoa.
L
I
always
find
hard
time
to
find
parking
close
to
our
house
because
of
parking
issues
and
your
joint
is
going
to
add
to
a
parking
problem
and
plus
you
guys
are
going
to
be
there
in
a
neighborhood
where
it's
residential,
it's
not
a
commercial
place,
we're
having
this
huge
property
in
there
to
be
making
it
into
a
doping
place,
and
there
are
kids
that
live
in
a
neighborhood,
they're
ymca.
You
know
down
the
road,
there's
schools
everywhere,
I'm
really
concerned
about
that,
and
I'm
just
actually.
L
L
N
Yes,
thanks
connor
question
for
kobe
I
I
just
wanted.
I
heard
the
first
presentation
and
I
was
concerned
about
the
number
of
employees
and
yeah.
I
want
that
number
to
be
verified
compared
to
what
we
heard
during
the
last
presentation,
but
also,
and
then,
as
the
second
thing
I'd
like
to
know,
it
sounds
a
little
vague.
D
D
To
answer
your
question-
and
I
know
that
we're
looking
at
roughly,
I
think
the
number
we
landed
on
is-
is
roughly
10
people
per
shift
and
that's
on
the
high
side
and,
comparatively
speaking,
I
think
that
in
grove
hall
and
dorchester
we're
a
little
higher,
but
in
terms
of
car
utilization
we
have
off
street
parking
in
dorchester.
We
have
a
parking
lot
and
at
any
given
time
we
only
have
you
know
no
more
than
three
cars
or
three
employees
that
that
actually
drive
to
work
in
this
day
and
age
in
the
retail
business.
D
B
N
Those
are
my
main
concerns
I
do.
I
do
appreciate
the
comment
that
the
previous
woman
made
about
the
traffic
study
being
done
on
december
16th
and
I'd
like
to
chime
in
with
that,
also
that
that
all
the
students
are
out
of
town
that
was
not
the
most
auspicious
calendar
date
to
pickford.
So
I'd
be
suspicious
about
anything
that
came
out
of
that
kind
of
analysis,
and
I
think
that
there
was
a
general
assessment
that
that
jeff
made
that
cannabis
would
have
less
of
an
impact
overall.
N
I
don't
think
that
that
can
possibly
be
true,
because
I
went
to
the
cleaners
for
20
years,
because
I
live
right
on
fairbanks
and
it
was
a
very
quiet
place.
There
were
seldom
people
there,
so
I
I
think
the
the
amount
of
activity
that
that
this
shop
will
generate.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
far
greater
and-
and
I
think
I
would
just
like
to
see
more
work
done
on
the
traffic
in
the
when
I
think
to
be
more
accurate
and
realistic
assessment
during
times
when
the
students
are
present.
A
O
Okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yep,
okay,
hi
kobe,
you
did
send
an
email
out
and
I
did
reply
back
to
you
and
it
you
know.
I
pretty
much
stated
that
I
honestly
didn't
think
that
you
were
gonna,
be
able
to
sort
of
fix
all
of
the
concerns
that
were
mentioned
at
the
the
first
meeting.
I
do
appreciate
you
paid,
for
you
know
a
traffic
study.
O
O
When
I
come
home
from
work,
I
do
drive
to
work
every
day
and
there's
always
somebody
whether
it
is
the
you
know:
papa
john's
delivery,
man
who's
trying
to
park,
and
you
know
blocking
the
entire
street
of
traffic
while
he's
trying
to
pull
into
a
parking
space-
or
you
know
the
traffic
study
didn't
mention.
You
know
the
18
wheelers
that
pull
up
there
to
deliver
and
they
also
double
park
and
block
the
entire
lane
of
traffic.
You
also
didn't
mention,
I
believe,
there's
a
dumpster
in
the
back
of
swan
cleaners.
O
D
B
D
O
Was
going
to
say
that
it's
going
to
be
kind
of
hard
to
use
those
two
spaces
in
the
back,
if
you're
going
to
have
to
leave
it
open
for
dumpsters
on
specific
days
and
things
like
that
and
a
truck
to
try
to
come
in
and
out
of
there
yeah.
That
would
be
tough
yeah
and
I
mean
my
main
concern
is
the
safety
of
the
site
itself,
like
one
of
the
other
callers
had
mentioned
it?
O
It's
a
really
dangerous
corner
and,
with
you
know,
three
or
four
streets
all
merging
into
that
one
area.
You
know
fairbanks
langley,
road
grameer
it
just
it
just
is
really
really
dangerous
and
another
thing
that
your
traffic
study
didn't
mention
is
that
in
the
winter
time,
when
we
have
you
know
the
city
declares
emergencies.
There
is
no
parking
on
washington
street,
so
all
of
your
customers
would
have
to
use
side
street
parking.
O
You
know
during
a
snow
emergency
in
order
to
get
to
your
business
and
I'm
not
sure
if
some
of
those
side
streets
that
you
mentioned,
that
you
know
people
would
be,
you
know
possibly
walking
from
or
parking
and
walking
from.
If
those
do
have
resident
parking
or
not,
I
know
our
street
does
not,
so
we
would
be
particularly
affected
by
any
off-street
parking
that
people
you
know
coming
to
the
site
would
would
be
looking
for
parking.
O
O
It
makes
it
really
dangerous.
You
can't
see
as
you're
coming
out.
It's
really
like
a
a
blind.
You
know
street
especially
again,
like
I
said
when
those
18
wheelers
are
parking
and
double
parking
or
the
buses
when
the
buses
stop
and
you
have
cars
trying
to
you
know,
pass
the
bus
and
coming
into
oncoming
traffic
and
then
also
the
size
of
the
business
itself.
You
said,
10
people
per
shift
and
I
think,
before
you
said
it
was
three
shifts.
D
No,
no
again
we're
scaling
back
the
hours,
so
you
know
we
have
a
a
crew
that
comes
in
8
a.m
and
they
start
opening
up.
But
that's
more
of
a
skeleton
crew.
And
then
our
peak
is
you
know
we
we
have
the
bulk
of
our
staff
on
second
shift,
which
would
be
the
closing
shift.
So
it's
maybe
a
shift
and
a
half.
D
G
O
G
O
D
I
think
that
more
so
what
we
do
in
dorchester
is
that
we
have
off
street
parking
just
for
staff,
and
so
with
that
we
don't
have
any
customer
parking
at
either.
We
wouldn't
have
any
customer
parking
at
brighton,
and
so
we
could
have
staff
only
parking
in
brighton
and
have
a
gate
that
opens
and
closes
behind.
You
know
the
car
so
that
it's
a
secure
location,
so
we
could
maintain
parking
and
safety.
At
the
same
time,.
B
C
Mike
ross
working
with
the
team,
the
attorney
the
whole
point
of
getting
employees
parking
back.
There
was
because
it's
the
same
employee
day
after
day
in
a
routine,
so
they
understand
how
to
get
in
and
out
easily
safely
and
quickly
and
now
put
customers
back
there.
Who
you
know
could
be
the
first
time
they've
ever
been
there
and
they
you
know.
Where
do
I
go?
How
do
I
park
and
that
could
be
a
disaster,
so
we
just
think
it
made
a
lot
of
sense.
C
It
took
everyone
off
the
the
street
in
terms
of
anyone
who
might
bring
a
car
for
employees
and
then
deliveries.
Delivery
is
the
same
thing.
We
have
a
place
for
a
car
to
pull
up,
it
will
be
secure
and
it'll
be
on
our
property
and
and
so
for
all
those
reasons
we
just
think
it
will
help
facilitate
it.
So
so
these
are
people
who
we're
not
adding
net
new
parking
to
the
neighborhood,
we're
putting
them
into
these
off
street
parkings.
That
was
the
whole
theory
behind
that.
O
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
okay
and
then
just
the
the
one
other
thing
is
again
the
security
of
the
I
mean
the
safety
of
the
location
a
month
or
two
ago
there
was
an
accident
there.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
pedestrian
that
got
hit
or
what
happened,
but
there
was
ambulances
and
police
and
all
sorts
of
emergency
vehicle.
You
know
traffic
right
at
that
intersection.
O
A
P
Yes
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
I
own,
a
property
in
the
area
and
I
as
well
oppose
this
business
and
frankly,
I
just
don't
think
it's
a
very
good
place
for
for
you
all
to
to
be
it,
as
stated
many
many
times
this
evening.
You
know
it
is
a
nightmare
with
the
traffic
and
you-
and
you
know
it's
pointed
out-
the
traffic
study
was
done
without
the
students
being
there.
P
Boston
college
is
not
far
from
their
upper
lake
street
plus
you
know
on
the
snow
days
the
traffic
the
parking
is
terrible
there.
Anybody
that's
trying
to
shovel
the
sidewalks
can
attest
to
that
and
also
tuesdays
in
the
area.
There's
every
other.
You
know
every
tuesday
there's
street
sweeping,
which
means
that
you
can
only
park
on
one
side
of
some
of
the
the
streets,
so
it
really
is
extremely
congested.
P
I
just
think
that
you
know
where
there's
a
fire
hydrant
in
front
that
will
eat
up
parking
plus
any
clearance
for
the
fire
hydrant.
It's
not
just
one
space.
It's
probably
more
like
two
spaces
are
gone.
A
4,
000
square
foot
building
is
enormous,
with
10
to
you
know
up
to
10
employees,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
security
staff
is
counted
in
that
10
people,
you
know,
and
that
could
bring
it
up
to
possibly
12
employees
and
also
to
point
out
the
timing
of
the
traffic
study
right
before
christmas.
P
You
had
you
know,
people
still,
that
was
the
peak
of
covet
and
a
lot
of
people
move
back
with
their
parents.
It's
a
very
young,
it
can
be
a
young
population
and
frankly
I
have
tennis
and
and
a
lot
of
them.
You
know,
move
back
with
their
parents
during
that
time
and
they
took
their
cards
with
them.
So
I
think
the
traffic
study
was
done
in
a
very,
very
poor
time.
Considering
christmas
covet
and
the
students
gone,
I
I
think
that
it
really
is
just
a
terrible
location
for
you.
P
P
You
know
not
only
allow
for
the
residents
in
those
fairbanks
turner,
all
those
streets
in
there,
but
also
workmen,
to
be
able
to
come,
and
you
know,
work
work
on
a
property.
You
know
all
kinds
of
things:
emergency
vehicles.
I
had
a
terrible
problem
with
a
sewer
issue.
I
had
you
know
I
had
you
know
it
was
the
the
person
could
barely
find
parking
as
it
is
at
in
in
the
in
the
evening.
So
I
just
strongly
oppose
this.
I
just
don't
think
it's
a
very
good
location
for
you.
P
C
Can
I
just
really
quickly
respond
if
I
could
on
the
location
point,
because
it's
come
up
a
few
times?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
knows
about
the
location
issue.
There's.
There
is
a
reason
why
I
mean
for
put
this
proposal
aside
for
a
second.
There
is
a
reason
why
this
area
keeps
getting
proposals-
yes
twice
from
kobe,
but
there
have
been
others.
C
You
know
in
brighton
square
and
there
will
continue
to
be
proposals
for
this
area
and
that's
because
it's
currently
zoned
for
cannabis
for
a
conditional
use
permit
the
commercial
all
commercial
locations
are.
This
is
a
neighborhood
shopping
district.
I
believe,
but
it's
it's
commercial,
so
it's
a
conditional
use
permit.
C
The
other
issue
is,
is
that
there's
once
once
one
of
these
is
established
anywhere
in
the
city,
there's
a
half-mile
buffer
that
goes
around
it.
So
if
you
want
to
try
to
get
into
that
half-mile
buffer
now,
you
need
a
variance
to
get
in
there
much
harder
legal
burden
for
the
applicant
here
in
this
part
again
in
this
part
of
brighton
heading
up
towards
oak
square
535,
washington
heading
up
towards
brighton
center,
there
are
no
sighted
locations,
it's
like
a
free
half
mile,
it's
a
free
mile.
C
If
you
will
so
so,
people
are
looking
across
the
city
of
boston,
they're,
scratching
their
heads
and
saying
where,
where
is
there
still
room
to
put
one
of
these
things?
And
I
think
that's
why
you're
continuing
to
see
applications
come
in
for
for
this
general
area
of
the
city
of
boston?
You
know
our
argument
is
that
kobe's
done
it
before
he's
a
known
commodity?
He
he
currently
operates
one,
and
you
know
he
he's
he's
he's
the
person.
C
You
know
versus
the
person
you
don't
know,
and,
and
while
it
is
possible
to
to
to
deny
these,
I
I
would
suspect
that
they
would
continue
to
come
proposing
and-
and
I
think
that
these
this
you
know,
I
just
want
to
try
to
give
that
that
background
for
people
who
might
be
seeing
this
for
the
first
time.
To
give
you
a
little
context
thanks.
Q
Yep,
so
I
think
I'm
pretty
clearly
in
the
minority
here.
I
am
not
opposed.
I've
lived
here
about
three
and
a
half
years
now.
Quite
honestly,
I
think
anyone
willing
to
sink
money
into
our
neighborhood
is
a
good
thing.
At
this
point,
we've
had
a
number
of
restaurants
that
flat
out
can't
survive,
and,
quite
honestly,
I
live
in
the
city,
because
I
enjoy
being
able
to
walk
to
restaurants
and
stores
and
seeing
that
disappear
in
our
neighborhood.
Q
I
think
is
worse
to
me
so
I'd
say
I
have
empathy
for
for
a
lot
of
people
right
parking
in
the
neighborhood
can
be
pretty
tight.
I've
complained
to
conor
myself
countless
times
quite
honestly,
but
the
reality
is.
We
live
in
the
city
and-
and
I
feel
like
that's
that
comes
along
with
it.
So
I
I
just
I
don't
know
what
the
other
options
are
quite
honestly
like
if
it's
not
this
company,
it's
a
restaurant.
Q
If
another
restaurant
wants
to
open
up
in
this
neighborhood
or
the
complete
opposite,
which
is
even
worse
to
me,
would
be
it
gets
knocked
down
and
a
big
building
goes
in
there.
Quite
honestly
that
just
takes
away.
I
didn't
move
to
a
residential
area
to
to
live
in
in
the
suburbs.
I
want
to
live
in
the
city.
I
want
this
traffic
around
us.
I
want
to
be
able
to
bike
to
all
these
locations.
Q
M
M
Bonner,
I've
lived
in
oak
square
for
the
last
49
years.
I'd
like
to
speak
with
kobe.
First
kobe,
you've
got
some
safety
issues
in
that
building
the
front
panel
glass.
It's
a
half
inch
thick
sheet
of
glass.
It's
probably
ten
feet
high
by
eight
feet
wide.
It's
been
broken
out.
There's
about
a
square
foot
of
jagged
glass
down
about
the
height
that
a
child
walking
by
would
stick
their
arm
into
and
end
up
with
a
laceration.
M
M
M
Good,
the
second
issue
kobe,
is:
there
was
no
attempt
to
remove
snow
from
the
sidewalks
around
that
building
during
the
biggest
storm
it
went
on
for
days.
There
were
3-1-1
tickets
hanging
on
the
front
of
the
building.
Can
you
please
arrange
with
some
snow
removal
company
so
that
you
can
clean
your
sidewalks
within
the
amount
of
time
that
you're
the
owner
of
the
building
right,
correct.
M
So
can
you
arrange
for
per
snow
removal
company
to
get
the
snow
off
the
sidewalk
as
the
city
requires
within
whatever
it
is?
Absolutely.
Thank
you.
That's
that's
great!
As
far
as
the
whole,
the
overall
proposal
to
put
a
cannabis
steward
there.
I
agree
with
everyone
else
that
the
numbers
that
were
used
for
modeling
or
absurd.
M
All
you
need
to
do
is
drive
down
there
and
try
to
find
parking
to
run
in
and
pick
up,
sandwiches
or
you
know,
go
to
the
barbershop
or
something
to
to
suggest
that
there
are
typically
35
open
parking
spaces
at
six
o'clock
down.
There
is
crazy.
The
I'm
sympathetic
to
the
fact
that
there
are
people
who
would
like
to
have
a
cannabis
store
in
the
neighborhood,
but
this
is
simply
not
the
place
for
a
store.
That's
going
to
do
that
volume
of
business,
no
matter
what
they're
selling.
So.
A
B
S
S
You
now
go
ahead.
Okay,
thank
you,
a
long
time
resident
of
over
40
years
on
langley
road
and
just
a
couple
of
comments
about
having
been
a
customer
of
swan
laundry.
I
don't
think
I
ever
saw
more
than
two
people
in
there
at
a
time.
It
was
just
very
I'm
not
sure
how
they
stayed
in
business
all
those
years,
but
anyway
it
was
there's
no
way
it
could
compare
to
the
kind
of
volume
that
I
think
you're
looking
at.
S
S
Okay,
so
my
question
about
that
is,
I
assume,
you're
leasing
that
should
that
in
a
year
the
owner
of
that
decide.
Oh
gee,
we
really
don't
like
these
folks
parking
here.
Your
lease
is
up
all
of
a
sudden
you're
back
to
having
your
people,
just
your
people
back
on
the
street
again.
So
that
would
be
a
concern
because
there's
no
guarantees
when
you're
leasing
or
renting
space
from
someone
else.
So
that
would
be
a
big
concern.
S
But
one
of
the
things
I
noticed
on
the
parking
survey
was
that
langley
road
wasn't
included
on
the
fact
that
there
are
parking
spaces
there,
and
so
I
was
sort
of
surprised,
because
if
I
were
a
customer
coming
to
to
to
frequent
your
store,
the
first
thing
I
would
do
would
be
start
circling
around
because
langley
road
sort
of
like
a
half
circle.
I
would
start
circling
around
langley
road,
washington,
street
langley
road,
washington
street.
That's
the
most
sensible
way
that
I
would
look
for
parking
and
langley
road.
As
you
your
I
don't
know.
S
I
guess
your
people
didn't
look
at
langley
road,
but
langley
road
is
a
disaster
at
any,
mostly
particularly
your
prime
time.
The
other
night
I
came
home
at
4
30
and
I
couldn't
find
a
parking
space.
I
had
to
park
two
blocks
away
and
walk
on
the
ice.
You
know,
as
I
see
and
all
that,
so
I
I'm
not
sure
how
your
parking
folks
sort
of
are
looking
looking
at
reality.
S
S
You
you
mentioned
that
you
have
200
letters
of
support.
I
would
be
curious
to
know
how
many
of
those
were
within
you
know
a
two
or
three
block
radius
of
people
who
are
permanent
residents
who
live
here.
I
mean
we're
the
ones
who
have
to
deal
with
this
kind
of
a
of
an
issue
of
parking
and
and
congestion.
S
So
that's
a
very
big
concern.
You
know
talking
about
200
letters
of
support.
I
could
get
200
letters
of
support
to
support
something,
no
matter
what,
but
they
wouldn't
necessarily
be
from
you
know.
A
two
or
three
block
radius
is
going
to
be
impacted
by
this.
So
again
not
having
secure,
I
mean,
even
if
you
have
secured
parking
for
employees,
but
not
permanent
that
doesn't
belong
to.
You
is
a
problem.
The
problem
of
impact,
the
parking
on
all
the
streets
around
here
and
again,
your
parking
survey,
I
think,
is
questionable.
S
Also
the
number
of
people
per
hour,
13
vehicles
an
hour
25
trips
per
hour.
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
bicycles.
I
think
I've
seen
two
bicycles,
maybe
a
day
on
washington
street
people
around
here,
don't
use
bicycles,
very
much,
I'm
not
sure
what
your
traffic
people
were
able
to
count,
but
anytime
it's
snowy
or
in
the
winter
time
people
aren't
riding
bicycles
anyway.
So
anyway,
I
just
think
this
is
extremely
problematic
and
the
impact
on
the
neighborhood
is
extreme.
S
D
T
Deborah
valliante
and
I
actually
want
to
thank
jeff
for
the
traffic
study,
because
you
had
the
little
yellow
lines
going
up
washington
and
then
they
were
on
oak
square
ave
and
they
stopped
just
before
my
house.
But
from
that
traffic
study
I
did
get
to
see
my
red
roof,
which
is
about
the
only
red
roof
in
the
neighborhood.
T
I
know
that
people
are
going
to
be
parking
further
than
you
showed
and
they
will
definitely
be
on
oak
square
ave
and
often
they're
parked
right
in
front
of
my
driveway
and
my
neighbor's
driveways,
and
this
is
a
serious
issue.
I've
lived
here
for
35
years,
so
I
have
the
experience
of
like
bill
bill
is
right.
Next
to
your
building.
T
At
this
point,
if
you
are
good
owners
and
responsible
neighbors,
you
will
probably
take
a
look
around
the
corner
and
see
all
the
graffiti
that
has
appeared
on
the
walls.
We'd
appreciate
it.
If
somebody
would
paint
over
that,
we've
been
told
by
the
city
that
graffiti
on
private
businesses
will
not
be
taken
care
of
by
the
city.
It
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
by
the
owners
of
the
properties
and
having
lived
on
oak
square
out
for
35
years.
I
know
exactly
where
that
parking
lot.
T
T
J
J
I've
lived
here
for
just
you
know
not
as
long
as
some
of
the
other
residents,
but
I
have
an
overall
feel
for
the
city
and
the
corner,
and
I
think
the
disdain
for
cars
is
felt.
You
know
I
I
definitely
agree.
Parking
is
tough
for
people
and
I
understand
that.
But
it
comes
with
a
lot
of
lack
of
support
for
public
transit,
which
you
guys
constantly.
You
know
mentioned
throughout
the
presentation,
and
you
said
only
a
third
of
your
employees
actually
use
cars,
like
I'm
sure,
there's
a
very
accessible
road.
J
So
I'm
sure
only
so
many
of
the
customers
will
use
cars,
so
I
think
you
know.
Maybe
we
can
prop
up
public
transit
a
bit
more
than
just
hating
on
cars,
because
this
seems
like
a
good
way
to
move
in
the
future,
but
you
know
I
I
think
you
guys
are
really
trying
to
do
good
for
the
community,
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
it's
recognized
and
yeah.
I
guess
that's,
that's
really
all
I
had
to
say.
I
appreciate
the
time
fellas.
R
Thank
you
very
much.
Well,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
for
having
this
presentation
and
involving
the
community.
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
do
appreciate
entrepreneurs,
and
I
am
always
I'm
a
lifelong
brighton
resident
lived
in
brighton
for
over
40
years.
I
do
appreciate
new
vibrant
business
opportunities,
but
I
do
also
want
a
voice
that
I
am
opposed
to
this
type
of
business
with
all
due
respect
to,
I
believe
it
was
his
name
jeff
who
is
not
in
opposition
to
this.
A
R
I
I
end
up.
I
am
also
opposed
to
this
type
of
establishment.
The
traffic
study
that
was
conducted
and
mentioned
in
this
presentation,
I
believe,
is
also
in
is
inaccurate.
I
I
don't
want
to
be
a
dead
horse,
but
I
am
very
familiar
with
that
area.
I
know
that
parking
is
at
a
premium
there.
There
is
not
a
lot
of
parking
as
far
as
the
the
traffic
study
was
concerned
again
in
the
peak
hours
of
traffic.
That
is
inaccurate
as
well.
R
But
I
can
tell
you
even
from
this
morning
that
brighton
center
leading
into
oak
square
was
a
parking
lot
and,
as
I
was
traveling
through,
I
noticed
many
buses,
both
mbta
and
school
buses
traveling
in
brighton
center,
and
it
just
adds
to
the
congestion.
That's
why
I'm
saying
that
I
believe
the
peak
hours,
I'm
not
in
fact
late
hour
afternoon.
One
last
thing
I
just
want
to
mention
is:
I
know
other
people
don't
even
speak
to.
R
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
of
their
time
if
the
brain
camps
and
the
horning
camps
listening,
there's
some
important
things
to
mention
as
far
as
this
location
number
one
at
599
washington
street,
I
just
did
a
little
bit
of
quick
google
measuring
today
there
is
the
youth
development
center
there,
which
is
also,
I
believe,
still
use
for
aaa
meetings.
Substance,
abuse
meetings,
not
really
sure
if
having
a
cannabis
dispensary
so
close
to
that
is
a
good
idea.
R
There
are
two
major
playgrounds
within
800
feet:
rogers
park,
hartman
playground,
that's
used
by
children
all
times
of
year,
there's
the
ymca,
which
is
actually
only
800
feet
away
from
this
proposal.
Again,
very
kid
friendly,
if
you
want
to
put
it
that
way:
environment
there's
also
the
child
daycare,
the
community
center
located
at
in
the
square
which
little
sprouts
is
located.
You
know
I
mentioned
early
lion
school
which
is
right
down
the
street
and
and
then
there
are
various
other
businesses
as
well.
R
One
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
that
in
carter,
I'm
not
sure
that
this
might
be
like.
You
might
have
better
knowledge
of
this
than
myself
that
right
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
cannabis
dispensary,
there
is
a
proposal
for
I'm
gonna
clone
a
rebel,
relatively
large
scale
apartment
building,
that's
supposed
to
be
built
on
the
corner
of
langley
road
in
washington
street.
R
I'm
sure
that's
going
to
take
away
a
lot
of
parking
as
well,
but
but
that,
but
thank
you
guys
again.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
having
this
meeting.
Thank
you
for
involving
the
community.
I
appreciate
it,
but
I
do
want
a
voice
again,
that
I
am
opposed
to
this
type
of
establishment
again,
based
on
the
same
concerns
that
the
other
residents
are
stating
as
well.
E
Yep
we
can
go
right
ahead.
Yes,
541
washington
street
two
doors
down
from
the
project.
I
have
a
perspective
and
a
different
perspective
on
the
parking.
It's
it's
well,
it's
in
the
same
vein,
but
slightly
differently
and
that
the
parking
yes
was
done
on
december
16th.
When
students
a
lot
of
them
had
gone.
E
That's
on
that
street
and
taking
up
some
of
those
33
spaces
that
they
found
vacant
were
not
there
because
a
lot
of
businesses
had
gone
out,
and
so
you
have
normal
trip
generating
businesses,
not
there
anymore
because
of
cobit.
And
then
you
have
a
lot
of
businesses
just
struggling.
If
you
ask
the
businesses
along
the
street,
a
lot
of
them
are
just
barely
getting
by
because
they're,
regular
customers
that
are
not
wanting
to
drive
and
see
them.
E
So
the
numbers
that
the
argument
is
being
made
that
hey
there's
plenty
of
parking
is
based
on
a
one-time,
tr
visit
to
the
area
in
the
middle
of
kobe
went,
wait
a
year,
wait
and
then
do
the
study.
So
the
second
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
your
the
proponents,
arguing
that
locating
this
establishment
in
oak
square
is
a
good
location
because-
and
I
quote
from
their
presentation-
it
will
buffer
out
cannabis
establishments
from
unsuitable
locations
at
the
epicenter
of
five
schools
in
brighton
center.
E
D
B
C
B
C
Quick
thing
on
this:
sometimes
people
don't
realize
this,
and
I
think
it's
worth
mentioning
state
law
requires
any
community
that
voted
for
cannabis
to
have
no
fewer
than
20
percent
of
the
number
of
liquor
licenses
that
they
have
in
the
community.
So
boston
has
over
250
licenses.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
total
of
a
minimum,
a
basement
of
50
2,
3,
4
dispensaries.
C
That
doesn't
mean
that
when
we
come
into
a
community
to
propose
something
it
has
to
go
there,
it
does
not
mean
that
I'm
not
saying
that,
but
what
it
does
mean
is
that
there
has
to
be
54
or
55
according
to
state
law,
ultimately,
eventually
in
in
the
city
and
that
and
any
city
that
voted
for
cannabis,
which
boston
did
so.
I
think
it's
worth
pointing
that
out.
A
Mike
streeting,
some
of
the
questions
and
comments
out
of
the
q,
a
barbara
asked
what
is
the
recommended
number
of
spots?
The
city
requires
for
this
size
business
with
the
number
of
customers
expected.
So
there
isn't
a
metric
that
the
city
requires
for
a
number
of
parking
spots.
You
know,
often
with
with
zoning
on
the
residential
side
of
things
you
know,
might
be
1.75
if
you're
adding
additional
units
to
a
building.
That's
not
the
case
with
with
these
guys.
You
know.
A
J
A
I
strongly
oppose
this
business
too.
As
the
other
resident
said,
traffic
analysis
results
off
my
mind.
The
time
is
not
right.
Also
just
one
time
analysis
I've
lived
here
for
for
years.
I
don't
believe
he
does
not
agree
with
the
the
end
point
of
this
analysis.
Someone
else
also
asked
in
the
in
the
chat,
kobe
and
kevin.
If
you
guys
could
share
your
emails
in
the
chat
function,
I
think
a
resident
would
like
to
reach
out
to
you.
A
If
you
don't
mind
just
popping
in
one
more
time,
barbara,
I'm
in
opposition
to
this
proposal
as
being
not
viable
based
on
the
traffic
patterns
and
the
traffic
congestion
in
this
densely
populated
area,
visitors
unable
to
find
parking
will
end
up
on
one-way
streets
where
there's
resident
parking
and
emily.
I
think
you
also
would
like
to
go
as
well.
So
let.
Q
A
First,
read
one
more
in
the
chat
I
know
tony
mentioned.
You
know
there
were
concerns
raised
before
when
city
realty
had
a
proposal
to
develop
this
site
if
the
ground
was
potentially
contaminated
from
chemicals
used
at
the
swan
cleaners.
Can
you
comment
on
that?
Is
this
a
site
that
would
require
maintenance
and
cleaning.
D
C
A
A
A
U
Yes,
my
name
is
david
callahan.
I
I
own
the
property
at
18
fairbank
street,
which
actually
it
butts
the
driveway
into
your
back
parking
lot
that
you're
that
you're
suggesting
to
use
for
your
employees
and,
like
other
people,
have
said
your
your
parking
analysis
is
questionable
at
the
very
best.
I
think
you
would
have
gotten
better
numbers.
If
you
used
december
25th,
it
would
have
looked
better
for
you
guys
but
yeah,
I'm
kind
of
surprised.
U
U
U
U
I
just
and
then
also
the
fact
that,
if
you're
going
to
have
more
and
more
people
going
in
and
out
of
the
driveway,
that
my
property
of
bucks
I'll
be
interested
to
see
how
many
more
dense
that
the
fence
gets
going
in,
plus
it
just
it's
just
a
very
narrow
street
and
all
over
all
those
blocks
right
there
you're
going
to
be
pushing
traffic
by
bringing
everybody
in
it's
nice
to
say.
Oh
people,
walk
five
feet
and
stuff
like
that.
U
V
Oh
cool,
I
think
I
actually
fixed
it
this
time.
Can
you
hear
me
yep?
We
can
hear
you
dimitri,
go
ahead,
okay,
cool!
So
I
just
like
to
preface
this
by
saying:
I'm
I'm
supporting
them
actually
moving
into
the
space
and
renovating
cleaning
it
up.
One
big
thing:
it's
a
massive
eyesore
on
the
community.
I
think
people
have
said
that,
and
I
think
the
best
way
to
clean
it
up
is
to
actually
get
you
guys
in
the
space
asap
so
that
you
can
actually
renovate
it
number.
V
V
Oh
sorry,
this
collector
road
or
smaller
tier
road
that
washington
street
actually
is
also
one
last
comment
before
one
last
comment.
Hopefully
you
guys
will
also
go
into
the
medicinal
cannabis
industry
because
we
are
so
close
to
saint
elizabeth's
and
giving
patients
an
additional
place
in
order
to
access
cannabis
from
would
always
be
a
good
thing.
I
I
That
would
be
added
to
washington,
street
and
toby,
and
I
had
discussed
how
that
aligns
with
the
amount
of
business
that
he's
anticipating
he
has
recorded
from
his
other
business
in
dorchester,
so
that
is
kind
of
what
we
used
to
to
just
make
sure
that
we
were
presenting
was
a
valid
assumption
and
using
the
ite
trip
generation.
In
other
words,
we
didn't,
we
didn't
want
the
ite
data
to
present
something
that
was
wildly
different
from
what
kobe
has
experienced
from
his
other
store.
So
I
think
I
think
that's
a
good
point.
I
You
know
we
we
do
have
that
information
available
handy
from
the
other
store.
As
far
as
the
data
collection
goes,
I
know
you
know
a
lot
of
the.
The
commentary
has
been
focused
on
the
parking
study
in
the
data
collection
related
to
that
I
did
mention
one
of
the
slides
that
we
looked
at
the
capacity
analysis
at
the
washington,
fairbanks
langley
intersection
in
front
of
the
site.
So
when
we
collected
traffic
volumes
there,
we
collected
them
on
october
27th
during
that
the
four
to
six
pm
pm
peak
hour.
I
So
as
much
as
the
parking
study
may
have
been
collected
in
december,
the
traffic
counts
themselves
were
collected
in
october.
When
you
know
it
could
be.
You
know,
stand
to
reason
that
that's
more
of
an
accurate
condition
than
what
some
other
folks
have
had
some
concern
regarding
with
the
parking.
So
when
we
looked
at
the
11
000
vehicles
per
day
on
washington
street,
that's
that's
when
that's
where
we
we
determine
that
number.
A
W
W
W
So
I
think
that
you
will
have
a
lot
of
customers
be
local
as
well,
and
I
know
that
other
pot
shops
do
limit
traffic
with
online
ordering
being
required
or
scheduling
a
time
to
come
into
the
store.
So
that
is
an
option
to
kind
of
limit
the
like
at
least
not
necessarily
foot
traffic,
but
at
least
car
traffic,
and
I
think
if
there
can
be
three
or
more
liquor
stores
between
oak
square
and
market
street,
I
don't
see
why
there
can't
be
a
single
cannabis,
dispensary
and
yeah.
W
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'll
definitely
be
reaching
out
to
write
a
letter
of
support
from
a
resident.
That's
only
a
few
hundred
feet
away.
I
can
literally
see
the
sight
out
of
my
window,
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
appreciate
what
you
guys
are
doing.
I
think
this
is
amazing
and
yeah.
I
definitely
support.
R
B
F
Hello,
my
name
is
mike
beets.
I
live
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
location.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
I
am
opposed,
but
it's
not
for
any
reason,
because
it's
marijuana,
I'm
not
opposed
to
marijuana.
Cannabis,
are
ingesting
any
other
products
and
smoking
up
anything
like
that.
It's
just
a
bad
location.
This
is
a
terrible
location
to
have
it.
It
happens
to
be
the
curve
in
the
road
right.
There
happens.
It's
a
safety
issue
totally
that
it
curves
right
there
and
there's
a
blind
spot.
F
The
pot
shop
is
actually
going
to
be
in
a
blind
spot
where
cars
come
down
the
street
both
ways
too
fast
and
there's
a
crosswalk
right
there,
and
several
people
have
almost
been
killed
in
the
crosswalk
and
there's
been
several
fender
bender
accidents
that
I've
witnessed
and
they
don't
some
of
these
people
don't
even
call
the
cops
on
so
that
they
don't
have
a
listing
because
they
just
exchange
papers
and
move
on
the
the
parking
test
that
you
guys
did.
The
it
seems
really
skewed
parking.
B
F
Traffic
skewed
to
an
opening
of
this
shop
because
talking
about
33
shops
being
33
spots
being
available
on
washington
street,
especially
at
the
peak
time
which,
by
the
way
another
college
called
in
about
the
peak
time
being
in
the
am,
and
he
was
100
correct
and
the
peak
time
at
night.
That's
between
five
and
six
is
when
all
these
people
who
live
here
are
all
coming
home
and
taking
the
spots
the
the
park.
There
is
those
there
are
no
spots
parking
anywhere.
F
You
get
the
bus,
stop
right
across
the
street
from
you
guys
and
a
bus
stop
right
down
the
street
on
your
side,
and
so
you
know
the
the
skewed
numbers
and
everything
he
really
has.
I
was
listening
to
the
all
these
calls
and
listening
to
this
conference
in
a
room
full
of
people,
and
you
guys
really
lost
us
when
you
showed
a
picture
of
a
car
park
right
in
front
of
your
shop,
and
so
it
does
not
show
the
fire
hydrant.
That
is
right
there.
F
That
car
is
blocking
a
fire
hydrant
and
it
looks
like
it's
a
parking
spot,
so
people
laughed
and
then,
when
you
set
out
the
33
spots
that
are
all
available
to
park,
people
started
laughing
and
when
then,
when
you
finally
said
that
it
will
be
not
as
the
the
traffic
won't
be
as
bad
as
the
people
who
are
going
to
the
dry
cleaners,
I
mean
the
room
will
erupted.
People
are
laughing
their
heads
off,
saying
who
does
this
traffic
consultation
because
they
don't
even
know
what
they're
talking
about
so
anyway.
J
F
At
this
location,
it's
very
dangerous
on
that
blind
spot
and
when
the
tractor
trail
is
blocked
there.
That's
how
people
someone's
going
to
get
killed
in
that
crosswalk
right
in
front
of
your
shop
and
I'm
we're
going
to
have
to
say
I
told
you
so
and
we
don't
want
to
say
I
told
you,
so
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
at
all.
F
The
other
thing
about
the
the
testing
was
a
random
when
you
said
the
random
paths
that
are
just
going
down
the
street
and
they
may
decide
to
look
in
so
they
weren't
counted,
there's
no
spots
for
them
to
stop
and
park
in
those
random
people
driving
down
the
street
there's
no
way
to
park.
So
you
just
and.
B
F
A
H
V
H
That
was
the
only
place
I
saw
that
was
unshoveled
people
were
struggling
to
walk
in
front
of
your
building.
I
myself
went
to
get
food
at
the
at
the
japanese
restaurant.
There
I
had
to
struggle
to
get
through
a
narrow
crack
at
the
curb
of
snow.
It
was
very
dangerous.
You
couldn't
walk
on
the
sidewalk
on
fairbanks,
you
had
to
walk
in
the
street
and,
as
most
of
the
residents
know
around
here,
people
turn
that
corner
and
they
zip
around
that
corner.
H
H
A
All
right
folks,
we've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
tonight.
A
lot
of
people
were
able
to
comment
tonight,
which
is
great
from
the
mayor's
office
standpoint.
We
always
want
to
hear
from
more
residents.
So
it's
good
to
have
a
productive
meeting
like
this
at
the
this
time.
These
guys
do
not
have
a
date
with
the
canvas
board.
If
you'd
like
to
find
out
more
information
on
when
that
future
meeting
would
be
scheduled,
a
future
hearing
will
be
scheduled
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
my
office.
A
I
already
have
a
pretty
lengthy
email
list
of
folks
who
have
expressed
interest
in
this
project
in
the
past.
So
if
you're
not
on
that
list
or
you're
just
attending
for
the
first
time,
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
the
mayor's
office
we're
going
to
continue
to
collect
comments
and
feedback.
I
know
kobe
and
kevin
have
dropped
their
emails
in
the
chat
function.
You
know
if
you'd
like
to
reach
out
to
them
with
a
specific
question
or
concern.
I'm
also
happy
to
facilitate
too,
if
you've
missed
that
email.
