columbus
avenue

meaning
that
if
you
do
not
get
called
on
tonight
or
if
you
think
of
any
questions
after
the
presentation
that
have
not
been
answered,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
myself
or
the
project
team,
and
we
will
get
you
that
information
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
gabe.
To
start.
A
A
C
B
We're
here
to
present
sweet
and
sour
cannabis
dispensary
at
565
columbus
ave
in
the
south
end
quick
overview
of
what
we're
doing
here
and
kind
of
feedback
on
what
our
company
is
about.
So
sweet
and
sour.
The
social
equity
owned,
dispensary
boutique
cannabis
dispensary
at
that
the
founders
of
our
companies
are
pioneers
in
in
the
space,
as
we
have
a
track
record
of
success
which
speaks
to
ziprin
our
current
delivery
operator,
soon
to
be
launched
in
august.
In
addition
to
that,
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
community
know.
B
D
My
name
is
ellis.
I
was
raised
in
boston
massachusetts.
I
attended
bost
alliance
school,
I
graduated
from
umass
hammond's
with
a
finance
degree
and
prior
to
prior
between
before
getting
to
cannabis.
I
was
a
financial
analyst
at
state
street
corp
and
like
gay
state.
I
also
worked
with
him
on
zip
run.
Our
campus
delivery
operator.
C
D
The
main
reason
why
we're
here
is
because
we're
a
social
equity
company,
so
we
strive
to
create
opportunities
for
people
of
color
and
communities
that
have
been
impacted
by
the
war
on
drugs
and
marijuana
prohibition.
The
disparity
of
cannabis
owners
within
the
cannabis
space
across
the
country
is
only
two
percent
of
them
are
black
and
african
american
owners.
D
So
this
has
to
change
and
we're
also
doing
this,
because
we
are
committed
to
donating
to
the
last
prisoner
project,
which
is
people
who
have
been
in
prison
for
cannabis
prior
to
the
cannabis
log
being
changed,
it's
fairly
important
that
we
make
sure
that
as
the
cannabis
basically
grow,
we
impact
the
lives
of
the
people
that
were
affected
by
marijuana,
prohibition
and
enforcement.
Also,
a
very
big
reason
why
we're
here
today
is
because
the
hair
mid-tummy
house,
which
was
a
safe
haven
for
black
and
brown
members
of
the
southern
community,
was
demolished.
D
I
actually
am
a
frequent
visitor
of
the
south,
and
I
have
family
and
friends
who
live
here,
and
this
was
a
big
step
in
the
heart
for
a
lot
of
people
who
grew
up
in
this
community.
So
you
want
to
recreate
a
safe
haven
where
black
and
brown
residents
of
the
south
end
can
get
opportunities
and
feel
the
symptoms
that
there
have
some
sort
of
importance
within
this
community,
which
is
very
important,
and
I
also
want
to
state
the
sweet
and
sour
difference.
Our
reits
we
are
when
it
comes
to
retail
canvas.
D
D
So
this
is
very
commercialized
block
that
is
used
to
foot
traffic
from
people
going
in
and
out
of
businesses,
and
we
also
chose
this
location
because
for
the
past
two
years
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
effective
research
when
it
comes
to
the
southern
community
and
we
made
sure
we
chose
the
best
building
and
the
best
place
for
us
to
house
this
business.
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
research
into
this
before
we
even
submit
our
application
move
forward.
B
So,
as
I
stated
earlier,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
community
and
we
were
able
to
receive
community
feedback
thus
far,
so
I'm
quickly
going
to
go
down
the
line
of
community
concerns
that
were
brought
up
and
our
proposed
modifications
to
those.
So
the
first
thing
was
the
hours
of
operations
we
modified.
Our
hours
of
operations
from
10
am
to
9
pm
to
conform
with
the
surrounding
retail
businesses
and
restaurants,
but
in
most
cases
we
closed
earlier
as
often
those
restaurants
within
the
neighborhood
close
at
10
pm.
B
Another
one
that
was
a
pressing
issue
was
the
rear
loading
areas
which
was
inefficient
for
the
community
members
and
direct
butters.
As
a
result,
we
altered
our
existing
site
plan,
so
we
can
load
and
unload
from
our
vehicles
in
front
of
a
loading
zone,
sign
which
is
approximately
200
feet
away
from
our
location.
I'll
refer
to
the
reference
slide
in
a
few,
so
you
can
see
exactly
where
that
loading
zone
is
and
then
in
addition
to
the
frequency
and
the
size
of
the
vehicle
that
will
be
unloading
and
loading
product.
B
B
Now
I'll
show
you
a
quick
reference
of
where
that
loading
zone
is
my
apologies.
I
know
my
screen
is
not
that
enlarged,
but,
as
you
can
see,
this
loading
zone
sign
is
in
front
of
burn
fitness,
which
is
approximately
250
feet
away
from
our
location.
Here
is
the
image
blown
up
a
bit
more?
You
can
see
that
there
is
space
for
for
two
vehicles
to
park
there
during
the
day
and
then
in
reference
to
the
smaller
vehicle
we
will
be
using
to
deliver
these
products,
not
a
18
wheeler.
B
Here's
roughly
the
size
of
the
smaller
vein,
we'll
be
using
to
unload
and
load
product
now
to
move
back
to
the
next
point
of
community
concern,
which
is
the
trash
accumulation
in
the
neighborhood,
which
has
been
an
issue
with
the
other
businesses
so
to
come
to
combat
that
a
resident
within
the
neighborhood
stated
that
dunkin
donuts
does
an
overnight
trash
pickup
to
relieve
the
neighborhood
of
excessive
garbage.
That
is
something
we
plan
to
do
as
well.
B
We
thought
it
was
a
genius
idea
and
it
will
be
a
part
of
a
good
neighborhood
policy
which
I'll
expound
upon
at
the
end
of
the
call.
In
addition
to
that,
another
aspect
that
was
brought
up
when
it
came
to
the
trash
accumulation
was
making
sure
our
sweet
and
sour
products
are
not
found
in
the
nearest
wellington,
green
and
then
parks
to
the
nearest
location.
B
Next,
we're
going
to
address
the
older
concern.
So
one
thing
when
it
comes
to
our
dispensary:
this
is
the
stand-alone
retail
location,
not
a
product
manufacturing
or
cultivation
facility.
So
the
main
difference
between
us
and
then
a
cultivation
of
product
manufacturing
facility
is
when
they
get
transfers
into
product.
It
is
usually
unsealed
and
they
have
to
wrap
it
back
up
and
then
close
it
again.
Hence
the
reason
for
odor
since
we're
just
a
retail
business
when
the
product
gets
delivered
to
our
site.
B
B
So
one
thing
that
we're
going
to
bring
over
from
our
zip
run
operation
is
our
technology,
our
proprietary
technology
that
allows
for
shorter,
wait
times,
ultimately
reducing
traffic
congestion
around
our
location.
So
essentially,
what
does
that
mean?
We
built
a
order
ahead
online
platform
that
allows
for
consumers
to
pay
for
product
online
prior
to
receiving
prior
to
attending
our
location
in
person
decreasing
checkout
times
from
five
minutes
to
roughly
two
to
three
minutes.
B
In
addition
to
that,
we
will
maintain
a
three-member
team
on
site
which
will
also
monitor
traffic
flow.
Those
treat
those
three
team
members
consist
of
id
checkers
traffic
agents
and
also
a
cleanup
crew.
I
will
get
more
descriptive
towards
the
end
of
this
powerpoint
as
well.
Then,
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
also
enacted
a
two-strike
policy
rule
that
requires
consumers.
Well,
for
instance,
let's
say
a
consumer
tries
to
double
park
in
front
of
our
location,
the
first
time
we
catch
them.
B
They
will
receive
a
warning
the
second
time
we
catch
them.
They
will
be
banned
from
our
establishment
and
the
same
could
be
said
for
someone
that
is
consuming
product
within
the
area.
As
we
all
know,
cannabis
is
not
legally
it's
not
lawful
to
smoke
or
consume
cannabis
in
public.
If
we
catch
someone
doing
the
same,
we
will
give
them
a
warning
the
first
time
and
then.
Secondly,
we
will
ban
them
from
the
from
our
location
and
then
thirdly,
also
to
mitigate
traffic.
B
B
Two
we're
going
to
prioritize
hiring
in
the
south
end
community.
Three
we're
going
to
have
mandatory
community
service
days
for
all
employees,
including
owners.
Four,
we're
also
going
to
keep
a
constant
and
engaged
communication
with
southend
members,
and
especially
the
president
bar
bonnie,
who
we
had
a
amazing
opportunity
to
speak
with
him
early
on
and
continue
the
conversation
and
then
also
providing
new
revenue
for
the
host
community
and
I'm
going
to
swiftly
move
into
the
security
loitering
in
diversion.
B
So
when
it
comes
to
security,
we
touched
upon
those
the
the
main
three
stage,
for
that
is
really
the
id
checker
the
traffic
agent
and
the
cleanup
group,
which
will
help
make
sure
our
location
has
safety
at
the
top
of
mind
for
our
employees.
For
for
our
butters
and
then
people
all
within
the
southern
community,
also,
which
is
required
by
the
state
we're
going
to
have
a
state-of-the-art
security
surveillance
system
that
will
be
24
7..
B
In
addition,
that
will
have
a
backup
generated
attached
to
that
four
hours,
four
hours
with
the
backup
time,
just
in
case
the
power
goes
out,
and
then
another
security
measure
is
essentially
that
id
checker
for
consumers
that
are
under
the
age
of
21
or
above
the
age
of
21.
We
do
have
the
id
checker
and
showing
consumers
are.
Are
the
right
age
to
be
able
to
gain
access
to
our
establishment
when
it
comes
to
trash
accumulation?
I
really
touched
upon
that.
B
I
can
skip
that
for
now
and
touch
more
on
that
later
in
the
conversation
and
then
really
the
diversion
piece.
Consumers
must
be
21,
plus
packaging
will
be
tamper,
proof
and
child
proof.
During
the
buying
process,
ids
will
be
checked
twice
and
then,
like
I
said,
we'll
have
an
on-site
team
that
will
make
sure
safety
is
always
at
the
the
forefront
of
our
mantra
at
sweden
tower.
D
So,
like
we've
said
before,
we
are
operators
of
a
cannabis
delivery
warehouse
that
is
going
to
be
the
first
in
the
city
of
boston
called
zip
run.
We
are
a
successful
group
of
business
entrepreneurs
who
raised
2.3
million
dollars
for
this
operation
in
dorchester,
and
this
is
fairly
important
to
show
that
we
have
expertise
and
experience
when
it
comes
to
successful
cannabis.
Businesses,
which
is
going
to
be
key
in
sweden,
sideways
and
south
end.
Our.
We
also
want
to
talk
about
our
tech
advantage,
which
is
our
software
platform.
D
It
allows
customers
to
pre-order
cannabis
for
pickup
and
store,
but
what
does
this
actually
mean?
It
means
we'll
be
able
to
maintain
faster
checkout
times,
because
our
customers
will
now
be
able
to
order
and
pay
online,
resulting
in
shorter,
wait
times
and
less
traffic
congestion
around
our
location.
So
that's
fairly
important
for
the
south
end
community.
D
So
being
a
social
equity
company,
we're
found
on
the
principles
of
social
equity
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
have
programs
that
drive
retention,
promotion
and
development
and
employee
certification
and
our
company
is
going
to
strive
to
match
and
exceed
these
existing
diversity
plans.
So
we're
creating
programs
that
create
incentives
for
employees
to
refer
friends
and
family
that
come
from
a
diverse
background.
D
We're
also
going
to
partner
with
local
organizations
to
connect
with
employers
and
job
seekers
and
the
positions
that
we
are
looking
for
are
going
to
be
advertised
on
diverse
local
publications,
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
have
measured
success
when
it
comes
to
diversity.
We're
going
to
make
sure
that
quarterly
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
we
are
hiring
that
come
from
diverse
backgrounds
are
elevating
within
the
company
and
making
sure
that
we
provide
as
much
opportunity
as
possible
to
residents
and
minorities
that
were
affected
by
marijuana,
prohibition
and
enforcement.
D
D
Okay,
50
of
our
hires
are
going
to
be
from
people
who
are
bipark
and
50
are
going
to
be.
Women
hires
and
starting
sally
for
our
dispensary
is
going
to
be
18
an
hour
and
we're
also
going
to
provide
our
employees
with
monthly
subscriptions
with
the
mbta
and
blue
bike
other
strategies
to
avoid
congestion
within
the
area
and
we're
also
going
to
make
sure
that
our
employees
get
deliver,
not
delivery
credits.
I'm
sorry.
They
also
get
credits
when
it
comes
to
ride
sharing
apps
such
as
uber
and
lyft.
D
So,
like
I
said
when
it
comes
to
our
plan
to
employ
people
in
sweden,
sound
where
we
plan
on
75
percent
of
our
employees
from
the
south
end,
which
is
key
and
throughout
the
year,
sweden
saw
will
host
at
least
two
job
fairs
to
explore
partnerships
with
local,
south
and
community
organizations
that
help
connect
employers
and
job
seekers.
We're
also
going
to
plan
for
employment
with
individuals
with
primitive
criminal
records
when
it
relates
to
cannabis.
B
So
now
I'm
going
to
discuss
the
addressing
parking
for
employees.
I
know
that
was
another
pain
point
that
was
addressed
by
the
community.
Well,
as
ellis
stated,
70
of
the
team
members
will
be
recruited
from
the
south
end,
so
obviously
they
will
be
within
walking
distance
for
the
remaining
25
of
our
employees.
They
will
be
strongly
encouraged
to
use
public
transportation
and
received
subsidies
in
terms
of
for
the
blue
bikes.
B
B
We
have
a
good
neighborhood
policy,
which
we
devise
with
the
community
to
make
sure
we
we
keep
to
the
standards
that
that
we're
even
discussing
now,
and
so
there
can
always
be
constant
communication
between
myself,
bob
and
other
members
of
the
community,
and
so
what
does
that
really
entail?
It
entails
a
monthly
cleanup
group
that
will
help
preserve
wellington,
green
streetscapes
and
nearby
parks.
In
addition
to
that,
we're
going
to
minimize
the
traffic
issues
with
the
three
on-site
members.
B
In
addition,
we
will
also
maintain
open
lines
of
communication
with
sweden's
hour
owners
with
the
south
end
community
group.
We
discussed
the
five-figure
contribution
and
then
lastly,
the
biggest
thing
is
the
overnight
trash
pickup
and
making
sure
we
believe
the
neighborhood
of
the
excessive
garbage
and
then
last
but
not
least,
as
of
yesterday,
an
mlu
or
has
been
sent
to
bob
barney,
the
president
of
the
claremont
neighborhood
association,
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
adhere
on
the
concerns
of
the
community
honestly
keep
an
open
dialogue.
B
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Gabe,
we'll
now
begin
the
question
and
answer
and
comment
period,
I'm
just
going
to
go

raise

you
raise
your
hand.
A
If
you've
spoken
once
and
then
have
a
question
after
you've
spoken
already,
I
will
call
on
you,
after
everyone
that
has
not
had
a
chance
to
speak
yet
gets
to
ask
a
question.
I'll
also
be
moderate
monitoring
the
chat
for
questions,
but,
if
possible,
I
just
ask
that
you
please
raise
your
hand
to
ask
the
question
due
to
the
volume
of
people
on
the
call
just
makes
it
easier
to
keep
track,
but
I
ask
that
you,
please
state
your
name
and
address
before
asking
a
question
or
giving
a
comment.
A
You
can
also
send
your
questions
or
comments
to
me
at
kimberly.crucioli,
boston.gov
I'll,
put
that
in
the
chat
and
then
also
I'm
just
asking
that
questions
and
comments
be
limited
to
two
minutes.
So
everyone
has
a
chance
to
speak
I'll,
be
timing
that
I'll
be
giving
a
30
minute
warning
and
then,
after
that,
I'll
need
to
meet
you
just
to
make
sure
everyone
has
a
chance
to
ask.
A
F
Yeah,
I
think
I'm
a
muted
come
here,
meet
him
yep,
great
gabe,
thanks
for
presenting
tonight.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
question
points
and
maybe
questions
so
one
of
the
one
of
the
main
concerns
that
I
personally
have.
Oh
sorry,
kim
463
mouse
out
in
the
south
end.
The
one
of
the
big
points
for
me
is
the
multi-use
building.
F
It's
got
nine
residential
units
and
five
commercial
units
and
it's
the
same
thing
with
552
columbus,
which
was
an
applicant
I
think
about
three
years
ago,
and
so
one
of
our
major
concerns
is
wasn't
alignment
between
the
owners
of
the
building
and
the
application.
So
I
think
that
kind
of
went
away
partially
because
of
that.
So
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
is
that
there's
full
alignment
within
the
three
condo
buildings.
So
I
guess
my
ask
is
before
this
moves
forward,
that
you
know
there's
some
sort
of
discussion
in
alignment
with
the
condo
association.
F
I
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
it
today,
but
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
for
everybody
to
hear
too
the
the
second
thing
I've
got
is
logistics,
so
just
when
people
understand
the
alley
behind
this
building
is
private,
so
you
really
can't
use
it
for
delivery
purposes,
and
I
know
the
proposed
plan
has
delivery
on
columbus
avenue
sort
of
where
the
cobblestones
are,
which
we
pointed
out
in
your
picture.
The
thing
I
want
to
highlight
again
is
that
columbus
avenue
is
undergoing
a
redesign
effort
in
2023,
so
those
cobblestones
won't.
F
Oh
sorry,
so
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
cobblestones
may
go
away
they're
trying
to
expand
the
bike
lanes
to
kind
of
the
regulation
length.
I
don't
know
if
it's
seven
feet
or
nine
feet.
I
think
you've
heard
that
from
stephanie
stephen
and
the
last
thing,
and
I'm
sorry
I'll
make
this
really
quick.
It's
really
traffic
congestion
and
parking.
Those
are
the
three
things
that
kind
of
come
together
for
me.
What
I
would
suggest
the
group
do
is
complete
a
traffic
study
to
make
sure
they
understand
impact.
B
So
if
I
can
quickly
add
to
that,
so
bob
we
had
we,
we
heard
the
community's
concern
regarding
the
use
of
the
cobblestones
for
the
loading
and
unloading
zone.
So
within
this
new
presentation
we
presented
a
loading
zone
sign
that
is
roughly
in
front
of
the
burn
fitness
roughly
250
feet
away
from
our
location.
We
will
no
longer
be
using
the
cobblestones
for
loading
and
unloading
purposes.
We
will
be
using
that
loading
zone
sign
area
which
allows
for
our
parking
of
two
vans
to
fit
it
at
least
so.
B
The
cobblestones
is
no
longer
an
issue
that
should
be,
that
is
that
should
be
presented
and
then,
secondly,
the
mixed
used
as
a
per
the
isd
ruling.
This
location
is
conditional
use
for
can
for
a
cannabis
company.
If,
in
comparison
to
the
previous
proposal
in
2018,
I
believe
or
2019
that
proposal
for
was
not
conditional
use
for
a
cannabis
company.
It
was
actually
forbidden
use
and
they
needed
a
variant.
So
from
that
perspective
I
can
definitely
see
your
point
when
it
comes
to
that
2019
or
2018
establishment.
G
Great
well,
thank
you
kim
john
santiago,
neighbor,
three
claremont
street
here
in
the
south
end,
I'm
also
the
state
representative
in
the
area
and
well,
thank
you
gabe
and
the
team
for
the
presentation.
You
know
some
of
you
may
know.
We
just
recently
passed
a
pretty
significant
cannabis
bill
up
in
the
state
house,
a
part
of
which
includes
a
real
desire
to
address
some
of
the
social
equity
bills.
In
fact,
that
was
the
author
of
this
one
of
the
social
equity
pieces.
G
So
this
is
something
on
the
whole,
I
believe
in
in
terms
of
redressing
some
of
the
issues
that
we've
had
with
respect
to
marijuana.
But
I
guess
when
it
comes
to,
you
know
how
it
impacts
the
community
and
where
I
live
here.
I
guess
I
have
some
significant
concerns
with
respect
to
the
outreach
and
communication.
G
I
mean
I'm
a
neighbor,
but
I'm
also
the
state
rep
and
I
you
know
I'm
starting
to
hear
from
neighbors
and
constituents
just
the
lack
of
reach
out.
It's
good
to
hear
that
you've
had
six
community
meetings,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
is:
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
outreach
and
the
meetings
you've
had
and
if
you've
been
able
to
garner
any
support
in
the
community
for.
B
Sure
yeah,
so
the
outreach
started
with
the
initial
conversation
with
bob,
I
believe,
during
the
middle
of
the
month
of
april.
Since
then,
he's
put
us
in
touch
with
smaller,
not
larger,
but
smaller
community
meetings
with
our
direct
butters
within
300
feet
of
our
location.
Those
would
be
individuals
that
live
from,
I
believe,
548
columbus
ave
to
like
583.
B
B
B
I
find
it
rare
that
any
other
dispensary,
thus
far
in
the
city
has
created
an
mou
just
to
show
face
and
show
commitment
from
the
dispensary
operators
and
then,
lastly,
we
were
able
to
speak
with
our
direct
butters,
not
the
residential
butters,
because
the
units
above
us
aren't
even
filled,
but
the
business
is
nearest
to
us.
We
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
them.
On
monday,
we
had
good
conversations.
We
were
able
to
address
their
concerns,
their
main
concerns
for
odor
and
then
security
parameters
when
it
comes
to
odor.
B
Like
I
like
I
discussed
to
them,
these
products
will
be
sealed,
so
the
odor
is
not
an
issue.
They
easily
understood
that
and
then
lastly,
which
is
the
traffic
mitigation,
like
I
said,
we'll
have
a
three
person:
staff,
id
checkers
traffic
agents
and
then
a
cleanup
crew
to
really
make
sure
we
address
the
traffic
mitigation,
but
as
far
as
the
community
reach
out,
we
fired
once
we
we
fired
twice.
We
sent
direct
mail
twice
and
then
we
also
had
via
bob's
help
about
six
or
seven
smaller
community
outreach
meetings.
H
I
came
tonight
to
voice
my
support
for
the
business,
but
I
do
have
questions
around
zip
run
mostly
because
this
is
kind
of
an
anchor
of
your
proposal
or
your
presentation,
and
I
see
you
guys
raised
2.3
million
dollars
about
a
year
ago,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
the
zip
run.
Site
is
operational
and
I
I
can't
place
an
order
today.
H
B
Yeah,
so
just
to
speak
upon
that
our
delivery
business
is
separate
from
sweet
and
sour
by
ruling
of
the
cannabis
control.
Commission.
It
just
wouldn't
work
under
the
society
rule
social
security
member
has
to
maintain
51
not
going
to
get
into
all
those
details,
but
nonetheless,
these
businesses
are
separate
suits
hour
is
going
through
its
own
race
process.
We
raised
quite
a
bit
of
money
to
fund
us
through
this
initial
process.
B
Hopefully,
if
we're
blessed
enough
to
get
through
the
community
meeting
the
bcb
and
the
zba,
we
will
raise
the
remainder
of
the
funding
for
that
when
it
comes
to
the
tech
platform,
the
tech
was
built
out
a
year
ago
prior
to
our
race.
Hence
the
reason
why
we
were
able
to
raise
and
bless
enough
also
to
raise
2.3
million
for
the
zip
run
business.
H
Got
it
and
then
I
had
just
a
point
to
make
about
the
two-strike
policy,
which
you
know
people
will
double
park.
You've
got
the
dunkin
donuts.
There
you've
got
the
laundry
business
there.
I
think
it
in
part.
You
know
that's
kind
of
what
you
sign
up
for,
if
you
buy
on
a
main
artery
like
that
you're
just
going
to
have
double
parking
on
that
street.
B
That's
exactly
what's
going
to
happen,
but
you
know
there
are
some
unruly
people
that
don't
really
listen
to
that.
So
for
for
people
to
actually
listen
and
for
change
that
happened,
we
felt
it
was
best
to
enact
the
two
strike
policy
rules
so,
for
example,
for
person
double
parks,
and
we
obviously
know
if
that's
their
car
and
they're
trying
to
enter
our
building
they're
not
allowed
to
enter
our
building.
That
would
be
their
first
warning.
I
Sorry
about
that,
thank
you,
gabe,
for
putting
this
together
and
bob
for
helping
organize
our
smaller
community
meetings
and
john
for
reaching
out
and
sitting
in
on
this
meeting.
A
few
of
the
issues
pertain
mostly
to
I,
you
mentioned
quite
a
bit
that
you
spent
a
lot
of
time,
researching
the
location
and
just
I
think,
based
on
the
outcry
for
the
other
location.
I
I
think
more
thought
could
have
been
put
into
that
just
based
on
how
vocal
this
corner
is
and
how
it
will
impact
those
that
live
directly
on
this
corner.
I
represent
mainsail
management
who
currently
owns.
Excuse
me
the
nine
condominiums
above
render,
and
this
proposed
location-
and
I
think
just
on
a
marketability
standpoint
that
hurts
us
in
the
sale,
but
it
also
hurts
the
future
owners
in
sales
of
their
condos
and
their
property
valuations.
I
So
that
is
one
of
our
biggest
concerns.
You
did
touch
on
the
cobblestones,
which
I
appreciate
moving,
that
down
the
street
the
smell.
I
still
have
a
slight
concern,
even
with
the
packaging
and
then
just
sharing
the
building
with
the
other
businesses,
as
you
sure,
I'm
sure,
know
the
bathroom
and
their
shared
space
between
render
and
your
space.
I
don't
know
how
that
will
be
taken
care
of,
nor
how
it
will
be
secure
for
both
businesses
to
remain
accessing
those
spaces
safely
and
in
an
efficient
manner.
I
The
zip
run
I'm
trying
to
cram
a
bunch
in
here
the
zip
run
idea.
I
mean
in
the
initial
meetings
it
sounded
as
if
this
was
an
operational
business
and
you're
naming
facts
and
statistics
as
if
it's
been
operational
and
all
of
those
stats
and
statistics
are
coming
from
your
experience
in
the
business
and
having
a
successful
business
running
for
a
couple
years
or
a
year.
Even
I
don't
it's
news
to
me
that
it
wasn't
operational
as
of
a
few
weeks
ago
and
then
looking
into
it.
I
C
Actually,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
technology,
zip
run
was
active
for
about
eight
months
until
the
ccc
ruled
that
we
were
only
allowed
to
deliver
products.
We
actually
had
partnerships
and
were
operational
with
over
12
dispensaries
in
the
state
of
massachusetts.
So
it's
fully
scalable
fully
operational.
We're
allowed
to
use
it
for
our
own
endeavors,
so
we
shouldn't
have
an
issue
there.
C
B
Yeah
and
then
to
speak
about
the
other
stats
that
was
referenced.
Lantern
was
a
big
piece
of
that
they're.
Currently,
a
delivery
service
within
the
greater
boston
area
and
a
top
five
neighborhood
for
them
is
the
south
end
location
in
based
on
the
concerns
that
we've
heard
from
the
community
they're
sick
of
the
double
parked
cars
in
the
neighborhood,
more
than
likely
from
delivery
of
cannabis.
B
So
we
felt
we
put
together
a
boutique
dispensary
in
there
that
isn't
what
that
is
within
a
walkable
distance
for
southern
members,
we
can
obviously
decrease
the
amount
of
deliveries
that
are
in
the
south
end
and
obviously
adhere
to
the
the
the
parking
issues
of
the
consumers.
But
that's
really
just
that's.
That's
that's
a
quarter
of
the
presentation,
but
then
thank
you
for
that.
J
J
Dispensaries
are
a
good
idea
or
schools
close
by
necessarily
even
or
why
you
know
the
south
end
needs
an
establishment
like
this,
since
we're
already
struggling
with
some
sort
of
substance
abuse
issues,
but
I
I
guess
I
couldn't
think
of
a
worse
location
than
this
one
for
your
business.
You
talk
about
this
block
as
it's
a
as
it's
a
mecca
for
your
business,
but
I
don't
understand
it,
and
it
almost
makes
me
think
that
you
haven't
been
there
very
often
because
the
block
is
a
disaster
area.
J
J
J
A
J
J
B
So
david
to
quickly
address
everything,
but
your
question
you
had
stated
we
didn't
flyer.
We
we
were
required
by
the
city
to
blue
tape,
flyer
around
the
neighborhood
roughly
seven
days
prior
to
this
community
meeting,
and
we
have
videos
of
proving
that
of
all
the
streets,
meaning
wellington,
green
wellington,
west
springfield
in
the
areas
of
columbus
ave
that
we
were
supposed
to
within
300
feet.
In
addition
to
that,
as
I
stated,
we
had
spoke
to
our
direct
butters
ben
whitney
being
one
who
I
personally
had
a
phone
call
with.
B
I
personally
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
render
coffee.
I
personally
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
srv
and
I
personally
had
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
laundromat
owners.
So
therefore,
I
have
been
able
to
speak
with
our
director
butters.
So
please
move
forward
if
you
can
refrain
for
refrain
from
just
saying
things
without
having
prior
knowledge.
I
would
appreciate
that.
J
J
B
B
J
J
D
Okay-
and
I
also
want
to
say
we
do
have
a
lot
of
support
for
this
location.
We
actually
do
have
a
lot
of
support
for
the
location.
So,
even
though
you
do
oppose
the
location,
I
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
a
lot
of
members
within
the
south
end
really
truly
and
want
this
dispensary
to
be
in
operation
as
well.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
guys
very
quick
background
on
me.
I
was
born
in
boston.
I
went
to
school
in
in
dorchester.
It
sank
back
when
it
was
still
called
saint.
Gregory's
went
to
boston,
latin,
went
to
umass
boston
and
ventured
very,
very,
very
far
away
to
newton
massachusetts
for
graduate
school.
K
K
K
What
I
will
say
is
that,
as
someone
who's
lived
all
27
years
of
his
life
in
the
city,
it's
extremely
important
to
me
that
boston
is
shaped
by
boston.
We
have
boston
natives
on
this
executive
team,
they're
all
boston,
educated
as
well,
boston,
latin
school,
boston,
college,
umass,
amherst,
and
these
are
the
people
that
should
be
shaping
our
city
moving
forward
as
the
people
that
have
grown
up
in
it
and
educated
in
it
know
it
the
most.
It's
very
important
to
me.
L
L
You
know
the
the
supplies
from
in
front
of
the
gym
that
burning
fitness
place
to
the
location
and
then
second,
it
sounds
like
you
have
a
certain.
You
know
amount
of
employees
that
are
needed
to
run
the
business.
So
I
was
wondering
with
the
tight
job
market
you
know:
do
you
have
any
kind
of
backup
plans
if
you
aren't
able
to
have
enough
employees.
B
Yeah,
so
as
far
as
security,
when
it
comes
to
the
unloading
it
and
loading
process,
we
will
have
a
member
of
our
security.
Well,
not
security
team,
but
on-site
safety
team.
I
would
guess
attached
to
the
hip
of
our
unloading
and
loading
team
and
then
to
address
the
uncertainty
of
the
market
very
important
to
to
bring
to
attention.
B
Yes,
we
have
backup
plans
for
individuals
that
we've
hired,
but,
as
you
as
you
stated,
our
goal
is
really
to
bring
equity
to
our
business
and
to
the
southend
community,
and
there
are
plenty
of
people
that
have
already
reached
out
through
our
zipper
relationship
for
the
sweet
for
the
sweet
and
sour
hiring
or
interest
of
being
hired.
So
in
terms
of
finding
individuals
that
are
willing
and
able
to
work,
we
haven't
had
an
issue
thus
far.
M
Hi,
thank
you
guys.
I
am
at
2a
wellington,
which
is
the
freestanding
building
right
next
to
the
wellington
green.
So
I
have
two
quick
questions.
Thank
you
guys
for
considering
the
garbage
issue.
You
know
we're
really
appreciative
of
the
work
that
srv
and
render
have
done
to
clean
up
the
back
area
to
mitigate
the
rodent
problem.
One
thing
I
didn't
see
in
your
plan
is
where
the
actual
garbage
cans
are
going
to
be
stored.
M
I
believe
we
discussed
last
time
that
there
is
literally
no
room
for
an
extra
garbage
can
in
the
back,
so
I'm
just
wanting
to
understand
where
the
actual
garbage
will
be
stored
and
kind
of
ensure
it
wouldn't
be
in
the
wellington
alley.
My
other
question
and
kind
of
a
concern
is
related
to
kind
of
keeping.
I
know
that
it's
illegal
to
consume
cannabis
out
in
the
open
that
doesn't
really
stop
people.
The
other
day
there
were
guys
lighting
using
my
building
to
light
up
their
bong,
which
is
really
creepy.
M
So,
just
wanting
to
understand
how
you
guys
are
going
to
mitigate
people
from
hanging
out
in
the
wellington
green
and
like
the
alleys
and
because
there's
a
lot
of
private
like
nooks
around
the
business.
You
know
I
don't
want
to
like
prevent
people
from
going
to
public
spaces
and
enjoying
the
park,
but
also
don't
want
strangers
creeping
around
the
buildings
as
well.
So
thank
you.
C
Absolutely
thank
you
so
to
speak
upon
the
trash
issue
being
a
retail
cannabis
establishment.
We
really
don't
bring
that
much
trash
in
the
actual
establishment
when
we
do
accumulate
trash,
which
is
actually
the
drop-offs
of
the
new
product
they'll
come
in
cardboard
boxes.
We
actually
require
the
people
that
actually
drop
off
those
products
to
take
that
trash
away
right
away.
D
B
And
then
to
quickly
add
upon
that,
caroline,
you
touched
the
bond.
You
touched
upon
people
weirdly
smoking
bombs
off
your
property.
Strangely
enough,
that's
terrible,
but
we
have
implemented
a
two-strike
policy
and
not
only
have
we
implemented
the
true
strike
processes
as
a
recommendation
which
was
made
from
a
community
member
on
our
last
info
session.
B
They
suggested
that
we
have
three
safety
members
on
site
that
third
member's
job
will
strictly
be
to
to
walk
the
streetscapes
wellington,
green
and
the
park's
nearest
to
our
location,
to
ensure
that
that
does
not
happen
and
if
they
do
find
an
individual
that
is,
is
doing
such
first
time's
a
warning.
Second
time
it
is
bending.
Of
course
there
will
be
individuals
that
obviously,
are
not
consumers
of
our
own
product.
As
you
just
said,
there
are
two
individuals
in
the
neighborhood.
B
B
If
there
are
other
things
that
would
like
to
be
added
to
the
mlu,
we
can
definitely
discuss
those,
but
I
think
we've
definitely
addressed
the
the
traffic
or
the
traffic
issue
with
consumers
just
lingering
the
area
consuming
product
and
then
definitely
the
the
trash
issue.
That
christian
touched
upon.
N
Thanks
kim
gabe
and
the
rest
of
the
team,
it's
nice
to
see
you
again.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
some
of
the
questions.
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
and
a
couple
of
corrections
and
then
a
couple
of
questions.
So
I'm
going
to
do
it
really
fast
because
we
have
a
very
limited
amount
of
time,
and
so
many
people
want
to
talk.
The
first
is
that
the
idea
of
an
mou
is
something
that
was
invented
in
the
south
end.
We
used
it
for
the
albany
street
location.
N
N
The
second
is
that
I
question
your
assumption
that
we
don't
want
delivery
in
the
south
end.
That
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me,
given
everything
that
I'm
hearing
from
neighborhoods
across
the
entire
south
end.
So
to
suggest
that
delivery
is
a
is
a
negative
versus
a
storefront
is
a
positive.
I
think,
sort
of
turns
conventional
wisdom
on
its
ear.
In
my,
in
my
personal
opinion,
I
think
that
everybody's
been
waiting
for
delivery.
N
N
What
limits
you
as
a
social
equity
firm,
which
we
applaud
and
we
support,
and
we
want
to
see
more
of
throughout
the
connect
cannabis
industry,
but
what
limits
you
from
selling
your
business
a
couple
of
years
down
the
line
to
a
big
chicago
conglomerate
that
comes
in
and
operates.
You
know
a
basic
cvs
type
operation
in
in
your
place,
and
the
last
question
is
really
back
to
the
cvs.
N
Why
is
it
that
the
only
proposals
for
cannabis
recreational
dispensaries
are
on
columbus
avenue?
We
have
one
at
stanhope
street.
We
have
another
one
at
329,
columbus
and
now
yours
at
565.,
so
whether
it
was
a
cvs
or
a
bank
branch.
Do
we
really
need
to
have
three
active
proposals
for
cannabis,
retail
establishments
on
one
street
in
the
south
end
and
that
pulls
into
question
your
assumption
that
this
is
the
best
location
for
your
establishment.
I'll
close
there,
okay.
B
You
yeah
thank
you,
steven
appreciate
your
comments
and
questions
in
terms
of
the
limitation
of
us
being
able
to
to
sell
our
our
storefront
they're
honestly,
frank.
There
really
aren't
many,
but
there
are
for
our
delivery
company,
unfortunately
to
discuss.
I
believe
your
fourth
point
was
around
the
location
choice.
Is
that
correct.
O
B
So
we
don't
know
where
that's
going
and,
like
you
said
there
are
proposals,
so
I
don't
know
if
all
of
them
are
gonna
get
through,
but
I
do
know
when
we
chose
our
location.
We
chose
our
location
because
we're
on
the
most
commercialized
block
on
our
side
of
the
street
on
columbus
app,
and
that's
just
our
truth,
and
I
can't
speak
anything
beyond
that.
A
P
P
We
are
a
multi-generational
family
home.
I
have
grandchildren
who
are
two
and
four.
We
are
loading
and
unloading
ourselves
constantly
during
the
day
on
the
front
steps
right
in
front
of
that
loading
zone.
I'm
a
little
concerned
when
I
hear
that
there
are
issues
with
a
loading
zone
that
you
need
security,
for.
P
B
Yeah
for
sure,
as
a
requirement
of
the
ccc,
a
member
of
our
team
has
to
technically
quote
unquote
meet
our
transfer
drop-off
partners.
So
it's
not
technically
really
a
security
guard.
It's
just
a
person
that
checks
them
in
to
make
sure
they're
arrived
and
they
make
sure
that
they
get
to
our
location.
That
is
not
armed
security.
It's
not
anything
of
that
nature.
It's
just
an
individual
that
has
to
check
those
team
members
in
and
because
we
already
have
three
quote:
unquote:
security
or
safety
members
on
site.
B
That
would
be
the
individual
that
would
be
in
charge
of
ensuring
that
the
transfer
is
successful.
It's
not
like
money
being
transferred
from
our
location
to
the
to
the
van.
It's
not
that
serious.
It's
really
just,
as
I
explained
a
transaction
between
one
group
to
another
and
then
to
address
your
traffic
concerns
totally
here.
You
totally
understand
people
parking
two
or
three
blocks
down
the
street,
but
that's
why
we,
we
decided
to
put
a
three:
a
third
cleanup
crew,
slash
traffic
agent
on
site,
to
help
with
that.
B
I
wouldn't
just
say
our
member
is
just
going
to
sit
right
in
front
of
our
location
all
day
and
think
he's
going
to
stop
others
from
parking
down
the
street,
because
people
are
smart,
they're,
going
to
learn
that
no
one's
going
three
to
four
blocks
down
the
road
to
stop
them.
Our
team
members
will
be
ensuring.
B
I
can't
tell
you
we're
going
to
stop
people
all
the
way.
Five.
Six
seven
seven
blocks
down
the
street,
but
we
can
definitely
assure
we're
stopping
individuals
that
are
double
parking
within
our
butter
community,
which
is
the
wellington
wellington,
green
area,
west
springfield,
our
area,
columbus,
ave,
all
the
way
down
to
potentially
540-ish.
C
One
thing
I
one
thing
I
will
add:
that's
I
think,
is
unique
about
this
specific
opportunity
with
this
group
of
people
is
one.
This
location
is
very,
very
close
to
public
transportation.
There's
blue
bikes
right
there
there's
a
t
station
about
a
couple
about
100
yards
away,
not
meaning
that
people
are
still
going
to
drive
to
our
location.
But
on
top
of
that,
this
group
right
here
that
you
see,
has
built
a
technology
platform
that
can
withstand
and
balance.
You
know
people
either
coming
to
the
retail
store
or
pushing
people
to
deliver.
C
P
I
just
I
I'm
not
hearing
enough
about
the
loading
unloading,
so
if
you
could
tell
me
the
plan
for
it,
how
much
it
would
be
used
and
if
bob
barney
and
kim
could
speak
to
any
issues,
you
know
in
a
wider
area
across
the
city,
perhaps
that
have
been
with
any.
If
there
are
any
issues
with
loading
and
unloading.
B
Yep
so
frequency
two
weeks
every
two
weeks,
so
these
aren't
constant
drop-offs,
like
I
think
bob
mentioned
that
dunkin
donuts
is
doing
drop-offs
at
like
6
30
in
the
morning,
which
can
be
a
traffic
concern,
and
then
we
were.
We
were
just
out
in
the
in
the
south
end
area
the
other
day,
and
we
saw
a
couple
businesses
doing
drop-offs
multiple
times,
but
yeah
frequency
is
two
times
I
mean
once
every
two
weeks
in
terms
of
how
that
process
works.
B
So
when
that
transporter
comes
to
drop
off
product
they'll,
let
our
team
members
know
one
of
our
staff.
Members
will
meet
them
at
that
location,
they'll.
Let
them
know
that
the
drop-off
site
is
to
walk
up
to
our
location
at
565,
clem
south.
They
will
check
the
ids
of
all
those
individuals
that
are
dropping
off
the
product.
They
will
then
proceed
to
the
back
of
our
location,
to
where
our
secure
storage
compartment
is.
B
They
will
individually
check
all
packages
and
ids
that
come
through
to
make
sure
to
maintain
the
accuracy
of
all
the
products
that
will
be
delivered
once
that
is
done,
we
will
sign
them
out
and
they
will
be
essentially
on
their
merry
way
and
then,
in
terms
of
previous
issues
that
could
have
come
up.
I
have
not
heard
any
I'm
not
just
saying
I
have
to
say
it.
There
have
not
been
any
issues
with
cannabis
and
hence
that's
the
reason
why
most
transporter
companies
have
two
drivers
in
the
vehicle
to
make
sure
you
maintain.
B
P
P
B
B
If
I
had
to
take
a
rough
estimate,
I'm
not
say
you're
right
and
I'm
wrong,
but
if
that
spot
is
not
open,
the
easiest
thing
to
do
is
reschedule,
which
has
happened
plenty
of
times
with
other
retail
businesses
in
the
area.
Remember
we're
doing
this
on
a
two-week
basis,
so
it's
not
necessary
that
we
do
that
or
we
can
pay
one
to
have
that
transporter
park
in
another
location
and
then,
when
that
location
frees
up,
we
can
then
allow
them
to
transfer
the
product.
It's
not
a
rush
where
they
have
to
do
the
delivery
asap.
B
B
A
F
F
But
I
guess
to
address
the
question
they
also
karen's
question.
The
only
thing
I've
heard
is:
it's
always
bad
to
have
delivery
of
products
at
the
same
place
at
the
same
time,
because
it's
a
pattern
and
if
somebody
ever
wanted
to
unfortunately
take
the
stuff,
you
know
they
kind
of
understand
what
you're
doing.
That's
the
thing.
I've
heard
caring
about
picking
one
location
all
the
time.
F
B
Yeah
yeah,
for
sure
I
mean,
like
you
said
I
I
think
we
can
definitely
keep
the
frequency
of
once
every
two
weeks,
but
in
terms
of
the
time
slots
of
when
the
deliveries
can
happen,
I
think
that
easily
makes
sense
we
get
to
switch
up
the
time
slots,
for
instance,
one
week
they
can
come
at.
You
know
9
a.m.
Next
week
they
can
come
at
12
p.m,
so
on
and
so
forth.
B
R
Hi,
thank
you
thanks,
first
and
foremost
for
taking
the
time
to
do
this.
I
work
for
a
startup
myself,
female
founded
underrepresented
minority
brand.
So
I
appreciate
what
you're
trying
to
do.
I'm
also
a
new
resident
to
the
south
end
just
moved
into
201
west
springfield
as
a
a
new
homeowner
long
time
resident
of
boston
15
year
resident
of
city
proper,
and
I
have
three
concerns:
one
public
safety.
R
So
I've
been
there
two
months
and
I've
been
surprised
as
a
single
young,
professional
female
myself,
how
much
I've
kind
of
even
adapted
my
walking
habits
around
the
neighborhood
during
certain
times
of
day,
especially
in
the
evening,
go
if
I'm
facing
render
coffee
to
the
left.
So
I
think
there's
a
concern.
The
south
end
as
it
looks
to
draw
younger
professionals
to
the
city.
Yes,
obviously,
a
lot
of
younger
professionals
use
cannabis,
but
I
haven't
necessarily
felt
safe
with
some
of
the
overflow
on
west
springfield
that
we
see
from
mass
and
cass.
R
I
did
experience
someone
right
on
the
corner,
shooting
up
right
in
front
of
me.
I
know
that
is
very
different
than
the
clientele
that
you're
trying
to
track
at
a
cannabis
location,
but
I
don't
think
we
can
deny
the
fact
that
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
mass
and
casts
go
over,
at
least
in
my
short
two
months
here
and
I'm
sure
the
long
time
residents
have
seen
it.
A
R
So
that's
not.
I
don't
have
questions.
Those
are
just
my
comments
and
I
think
the
south
end
needs
a
lot
of
more
new
homeowners
like
myself,
bringing
their
own
startup
businesses
to
the
area
and
I'm
frankly
really
disappointed
that
this
is
something
on
the
docket
so
soon
to
me.
Moving
in,
so
you
don't
need
to
respond
if
you
don't
see
fit
again.
I
just
wanted
to
share
these
three
concerns
from
a
new
homeowner
perspective,
female
who
doesn't
necessarily
feel
safe
already
in
her
surrounding
area.
B
Yeah,
I
I
the
only
thing
I
think
it's
important
to
respond
because
you
brought
up
the
history
of
the
south
end.
In
my
opinion,
the
history
of
the
south
end
was
that
harriet
tubman
establishment
and
if
history
mattered
as
much
as
you
said
and
residential
priority
wasn't
so
important.
I
don't
think
the
history
of
the
harriet
tubman
how
this
would
have
been
taken
down
and
obviously
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
our
location
specifically.
R
And
I
again
new
resident
not
familiar,
I
will
be
researching
after
this
call
what
the
history
is
with
the
harriet
tubman
association
again
to
clarify,
like
I
understand,
a
lot
of
the
challenges
the
south
end
faces
there,
we
need
to
catch
up
to
the
diverse
community
living
there,
so
I
don't
mean
in
that
regard.
I
just
mean
in
terms
of
the
buildings,
the
facades,
the
things
that
homeowners
need
to
maintain
is
why
I
struggle
with
the
business
of
this.
This
title.
O
O
O
That
said,
I
think
this
is
a
terrible
location
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Because
of
my
job,
I
reviewed
at
least
five
other
cannabis
proposals
physically,
seeing
the
layout
seen
that
many
of
the
places
have
their
own
secure,
driveway,
they
have
their
own
secure,
already
built-in
safe
room.
One
of
the
proposals
was
actually
in
a
form
of.
E
O
Cashier
another
proposal
had
an
enormous
waiting
area,
basically
a
two-story
building
that
they
controlled
with
about
a
room
for
almost
lining
up.
200
people
inside
this
proposal
in
a
boutique
sort
of
setting
in
a
brown
zone
of
that
size
makes
no
sense,
and
I
I
just
don't
get
it
in
previous
slideshows
that
you
put
together.
You
showed
the
layout
of
the
room
and
the
waiting
area
for
the
resident.
I'm
sorry,
the
the
proponents
customer
buying
is
minuscule.
O
So
you
know
you,
the
previous
proposals
or
or
presentations
said
you'd
expect
200
to
250
people
a
day.
That
kind
of
you
know
turnover
in
a
space
that
you
know
is
is
just
undersized,
for
this
operation
makes
no
sense.
Secondly,
the
staircase
going
up
to
your
facility
is
the
same
staircase.
The
residents
above
will
have
to
use
and
you're
going.
O
Lining
up
up
and
down
that
staircase,
so
maybe
you
want
to
put
up
a
drawing
and
show
people
and
explain
why
it's
sufficiently
large
to
run
this
operation
and
why
it's
a
safe
idea
to
have
the
delivery
of
the
product.
I
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
be
wheeling
it
in
the
cart
down
the
street
for
a
block
and
a
half,
but
it
just
no
secure
driveway,
no
secure
waiting
area
common
space
with
the
residents
upstairs.
O
B
B
O
B
T
T
That
would
definitely
be
a
concern
and
what
people
have
said,
maybe
the
wrong
place,
and
if
it
is
25
to
50
people,
I
think
about
the
safety
of
the
pedestrians,
whether
they
walk
there
or
drive
there.
The
double
parking,
because
I
don't
think
your
vehicles
personally,
are
the
problem
for
the
parking
issue.
If
you're
getting
deliveries
every
two
weeks,
you
know
that's
great.
Karen
is
totally
right:
there's
not
ample
parking
for
commercial
vehicles,
people
double
park,
commercial
vehicles
and
cobblestone,
but
those
pedestrians
are
affected
by
the
cars
and
the
traffic.
T
T
Well,
there's
also
wellington
common
at
the
end,
there's
also
the
southwest
quarter
park
and
personally
I
don't
want
people
walking
by
smoking
and
in
front
of
my
place
because
I'll
smell
it.
I
smell
people
in
southwest
quarter
park
and
I
live
at
26
wellington
also
for
you
kim,
which
is
at
the
end
of
wellington
street.
So
those
are
my
concerns
and
until
those
are
met
I
still
object
to
the
presentation,
but
you
have
overcome
numerous
different
hurdles
and
I
appreciate
those-
maybe
you
can
do
the
rest.
I'm
not
sure,
but
thank
you.
B
B
In
terms
of
you
also
mentioned
the
areas
that
we're
going
to
have
our
cleanup
crew
monitor.
It
was
mentioned
in
the
presentation
on
the
updates,
based
on
communication
slide,
that
we
are
going
to
watch
out
for
wellington,
green
parks
nearer
to
nearest
us
and
all
street
streetscapes
within
our
300
foot,
a
butter
zone.
B
B
C
So
render,
as
you
know,
all
south
end
community
members
know
is
one
of
the
more
popular
coffee
spots.
They
share
a
stairwell
with
residents
who
just
live
there
as
well.
We
see
it
going
exactly
that
way.
I
don't
think
we're.
Gonna
have
more
or
less
customers
than
render
sees
throughout
the
day
being
one
of
the
more
popular
coffee
spots.
T
C
Yeah,
no
one's
going
to
stay
inside
the
facility.
It's
going
to
be,
you
know,
pretty
easy
access
to
go
in
and
out
and
to
talk
upon
that
to
even
increase
throughput.
We
do
have
a
technology
platform
that
allows
people
to
it
allows
us
to
actually
stop
people
from
being
on
the
stairwell
meaning
they
have
to
choose
pickup
times
for
when
they
come,
so
we
can
actually
divert
as
much
traffic
as
we
want
from
our
facility,
as
the
community
sees
put.
You
know.
B
U
B
We
did
before
the
ccc
shut
down
our
in-store
pickup
operation.
We
work
with
dispensary
partners
within
the
greater
boston
region.
Excuse
me
and
beyond
and
within
those
partnerships
we
were
able
to
to
lock
down
time
slots
for
consumers
to
actually
pick
up
their
product
which
made
for
a
more
efficient
ordering
process
and
once,
but
it
also
minimized
the
traffic
flow.
So,
for
example,
there
will
be
one
hour
time
slots
throughout
our
hours
of
operation,
which
is
10
am
to
9
pm.
B
That
is
a
very
key
and
important
note
to
notice
how
we
will
minimize
traffic
congestion
in
the
area
and
if
we
can
have
people
on
a
controlled,
you
know
foot
traffic
throughout
the
day.
I
think
that
will
ease
the
concerns
of
the
community
members
and
definitely
ease
the
concerns
of
the
direct
of
butters.
D
I
also
want
to
state
that
the
architecture
of
this
business
when
it
came
to
the
building
was
built
for
commercial
use,
so
the
stairway
was
built
for
inflow
and
outflow,
so
we
won't
see
any
congestion
in
those
areas
because,
like
previously
stated,
rendered
coffee
deals
with
influence
flow
as
well.
It's
been
very
successful
and
we're
going
to
copy
this
blueprint.
T
C
T
T
I
agree
I'm
just
talking
about
the
staircase
usage
and
so
like
a
resident.
I
enter
in
my
building
in
the
morning
and
I
leave
in
the
evening
or
vice
versa.
It's
one
in
one
out,
I'm
there
for
10
hours,
so
I'm
not
adding
to
it.
But
I
understand
I
just
think
it's
a
concern,
but
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
for
your
feedback.
Thank
you.
V
Hi
good
evening,
pam
carroll
at
6th
clermont
park
thanks
a
lot.
This
was
really
interesting
and
you
know
I
could
see
improvements
from
the
one
that
was
presented
across
the
street
a
few
years
ago.
You
know
the
one
thing
I
think
we
need
to
be
fair
about
is
that
this
is
a
different
type
of
business
and
render
or
dunkin
donuts
right.
V
This
is
this
is
one
that
really
changes
the
lives
of
the
people
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
and
residents
that
live
above
you
know,
their
condo
values
have
changed.
Families
won't
move
in.
You
know.
I
know
several
people
here
with
families
have
been
worried
about
it.
So
fundamentally
it's
a
it's
a
different
type
of
business.
The
group
across
the
street
that
tried
to
go
in
said
tried
to
comfort
us
by
saying
that
there
was,
you
know,
always
going
to
be
security
guard,
including
I
think
it
was
required.
V
An
armed
security
guard
standing
outside.
So
again
not
something
render
has
to
consider
in
their
business
plan
so
that
that's
one
thing
it
really
is
is
different.
The
parking
you
know-
hopefully
we
we
get
this
survey
it
just.
This
is
a
terrible
intersection
to
have
it
a
lot
of
the
double
parking
will.
V
And
my
the
third
point
is,
and
so
the
parking
I
I
think
you
know
is,
is
a
problem.
That'll
fundamentally
change
our
neighborhood
as
well.
I
and
you
know
in
this
part
of
of
and
the
last
one
has
to
do
with
being
at
the
at
the
end
of
methadone
mile.
We
have
you
know
this
close
to
mass
ave
and,
and
have
you
know,
wellington
green
as
well
as
as
well
as
over
the
southwest
corner,
particularly
across
the
street,
from
the
t
where
they
have
that
covered
part.
V
E
V
Mean
our
part
of
the
southwest
corridor
and
even
wellington
green.
Had
you
know
as
as
much
as
most
of
the
I'm
well,
it
was
sent.
There
was
a
real
central
problem
in
our
area,
so
those
three
things:
it's
not.
I
don't
think
there
should
be.
I
don't
think
these
types
of
business
should
be
in
residential
buildings,
the
parking
and
then,
of
course,
this
neighborhood
and
the
problems
we've
been
dealing
with
for
years,
and
I
think
this
will
just
add
to
it.
W
This
call
started
like
at
a
two
and
there's
lots
of
people
on
this
call
from
professional
training
and
personal
profile,
who
are
rooting
for
you,
but
where
I
went
up
to
a
six
in
terms
of
pushback.
Is
david
evans
presented
a
very
experienced
assessment
of
the
show
that
is
the
parking
around
the
around
the
properties
we're
at
true
claremont
park?
By
the
way
I
mean,
if
you've
ever
just
tried
to
drop
off
your
cleaners,
that
are
cleaners
I
mean
it
can
take
like
ruin
the
day
and
then
10
laps.
W
W
U
Yes,
hi
greg
smith,
24
grennich
park,
35-year
resident
of
the
south
end.
I
had
a
question
about
your
backers.
I
believe
you
said
you
raised
over
a
million
dollars
and
I'm
just
curious
who
those
backers
are
and
if
that's
a
record
of
a
public
record.
If
that's
information
of
a
public
record
on
an
earlier
application
that
I
witnessed,
the
proposal
stressed
the
local
nature
of
their
business,
but
when
it
revealed
who
was
backing
them
and
funding
them,
they
were
mostly
new
yorkers
and
not
local
people
at
all.
U
So
this
goes
to
a
concern
that
steve
fox
raised
earlier
about
this,
maybe
starting
out
or
looking
like
a
local
help
program
for
people.
Who've
been
victims
of
the
cannabis
laws
in
the
past,
but
that
that
within
a
few
years
it
flips
over
and
becomes
like
a
cds
or
some
kind
of
large-scale
national
chain
that
that
we
have
much
less
control
over
that
we
have
much
and
it's
much
less
responsive
to
local
people.
So
I
wondered
if
the
list
of
your
backers
and
who
you're
raising
money
from
is
a
matter
of
public
record.
U
The
other
question
I
had
was
about
your
recruiting.
You've
made
a
big
stress
and
I
appreciate
it.
I
think
it's
great,
that
you
intend
to
hire
local
and
south
venders.
I'm
just
curious
how
you
go
about
that.
I
mean
what
is
your
procedure
for
hiring
what
local
organizations
are
you
working
with?
I
didn't
see
much
in
terms
of
details
on
that,
so
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
how
you're
going
about
that
that
process
and
thanks
but-
and
I
appreciate
your
concern,
but
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
how
that's
going
to
be
implemented.
B
Yeah
in
regards
to
the
1
million
that
it
wasn't
1
million,
we
raised
2.3
million
for
our
delivery
business.
That's
a
separate
business,
a
separate
manner
for
sweden,
sour.
We
raised
a
family
and
friends
round.
These
are
individuals
that
are
some
mix
of
angel
investors
from
boston,
meaning
northeastern
alum,
northeastern
professors,
things
of
that
nature
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
there
are
also
family
and
friends
that
grew
up
within
the
boston
community.
So.
B
Business
we
raised
a
successful
family
and
friends
round,
first,
which
included
people
that
live
within
the
greater
boston
region
and
then
later
on,
obviously
for
investing
purposes.
We
had
to
get
investors
that
were
larger
investors
from
the
massachusetts
area
and
then
more
experienced
investors
within
the
delivery
business
that
have
done
it
successfully
within
within
the
california
market
and
to
be
completely
honest,
greg.
The
the
way
we're
going
to
go
about
this
business
is
very
similar.
B
We
like
to
keep
the
money
in
house
we
like
to
help
massachusetts
residents
who
would
who
are
interested
in
investing
in
a
cannabis
business,
invest
in
it,
but
we
also
want
to
get
more
experienced
operators
that
can
invest
in
our
business
as
well.
Lucky
for
us,
the
retail
cannabis
business
has
been
alive
and
well
since
2018.
S
D
We
worked
with
organizations
in
the
past,
such
as
boston
weightlifting,
which
is
a
employment
group
which
helps
people
who
come
from
inner
city
youth
to
get
opportunities
like
these
are
not
more
so
offered
to
them.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
plethora
organizations
that
are
also
within
the
southend
region
to
give
the
people
who
are
in
the
south
end
who
are
21
plus,
who
are
interested
in
our
business.
D
D
U
B
So,
who
are
you
working
with,
in
particular
yeah
yeah
yeah?
So,
like
ella,
said
it's
the
boston
weightlifting
group,
but
that
is
not
in
particular
to
the
southern
region.
Just
like
we
did
for
dorchester.
Once
we
got
the
approval
to
move
forward,
at
least
through
the
the
bcb
process,
then
we
did
our
reach
our
reach
out
to
the
south
end
community
group.
But
I
know
there
are
many
programs
within
boston
that
service
individuals
from
each
neighborhood
in
boston
to
help
them
find
jobs.
B
B
Correct
and
just
so
you're
aware,
the
bcb
actually
requires
like
fit
more
than
I
I
wouldn't
say
it's
more
than
50,
but
it's
definitely
you
have
to
have.
You
have
to
uphold
a
certain
amount
of
minority
staff
within
your
location
and
we're
certainly
going
to
uphold
that
and
then
secondly,
just
to
go
through
the
process.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
know
how
we
go
through
the
actual
hiring
process,
but
that's
just
any
typical
hiring
process.
We
meet
with
those
organizations
that
have
potential
talent.
U
B
Yes,
in
terms
of
hiring
that
has
not
been
in
place
because
we're
still
going
throughout
that
process
and,
like
you
said
this
is
a
proposal
if
it
was
actual
factual
at
this
point.
Obviously
things
would
be
in
concrete,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
other
businesses
aren't
going
to
put
anything
in
concrete
because
it
might
be
a
waste
of
their
time
until
we're
actually
knowing
that
we
can
operate
this
business.
So
I
think
we
can
definitely
greg.
You
know
I'll
put
my
information
here
me
and
my
email.
B
If
you
want
to
talk
more
about
this,
but
as
we
move
further
along
in
the
process,
we
can
definitely
keep
your
prize
on
the
procedures
that
that
are
at
hand
for
us
to
make
sure
we
deal
with
community
leaders
from
the
south
end
honestly,
not
to
speak
about
it
again,
but
bob
and
stephen
have
done
a
great
job
of
helping
us
getting
in
touch
with
multiple
members.
I'm
assuming
they
would
also
be
more
than
helpful
with
finding
local
groups
that
can
help
us
hire
from
within
the
community.
D
We
grew
up
in
the
city
of
austin,
so
we
know
a
lot
of
people
who
live
in
the
south
end.
Also,
people
who
live
in
the
mandela
that
I
personally
know
that
are
100
percent,
going
to
help
us
with
this
dispensary
and
also
we're
going
to
employ.
So
we
already
have
a
good
group
of
community
members
from
the
south,
then
that
you
already
know
them
being
a
pipeline
for
employment.
D
X
You
know
every
single
person
here
has
you
know
was
either
either
grew
up
here
or
chose
to
live
here,
and
that
was
kind
of
a
choice
that
you
made
and
kind
of
signed
up.
For
that
was
kind
of
a
point
I
wanted
to
make
when
it
came
to
that
and
then,
when
we
talk
about
foot
traffic,
I've
seen
I
I
was
a
kid
in
high
school
walking
around
all
the
time.
Taking
the
tea
and
I've
seen.
You
know
the
foot
traffic
that
goes
on
in
in
the
south
end.
X
V
X
Yep
just
like
how
they're
trying
to
do
so,
I
I'm
really
confused
as
to
these
comments,
because
these
are
things
that
people
have
signed
up
for
when
you
chose
to
live
in
the
south
end,
you
could
have
made
the
choice
to
live
in
a
different
neighborhood.
That
was
more
quiet,
but
this
was
a
life
choice
and
it's
a
lot
of
these
things
you
have
to
accept
and
they
won't
make
or
break
these
these
lifestyle
choices
that
you
made,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
X
X
A
B
Yeah,
so
I
think
you
brought
up
a
really
good
question:
how
do
we
engage
with
community
members,
especially
people
of
color?
Great
point?
I
think
one
hiring.
I
think
the
first
way
we
can
make
an
immediate
impact
on
on
people
of
color
in
the
neighborhood
is
to
directly
hire
those
individuals,
and
I
think
we've
made
it
known
that
50
percent
of
our
staff
will
be.
B
I
think
that's
one
way.
I
think
another
way
is
our
community
engagement.
So,
like
you
said,
we
are
giving
a
a
five-figure
contribution
to
the
southend
community.
We
have
yet
to
figure
out
the
the
organizations
that
we're
gonna
partner
with,
but
I
believe,
based
on
the
money
in
the
job
opportunities
that
we're
bringing
to
the
area
can
directly
and
positively
impact
members
in
the
area,
especially
during
market
times
that
we're
going
to
going
through.
B
B
X
This
neighborhood
that
has
become
gentrified,
because
we
a
lot
of
people
can't
afford
to
live
there
anymore.
The
community
has
completely
shattered
from
what
I've
grew
up
in
and
so
having
people
come
back
and
trying
to
make
an
impact
in
this
kind
of
way
and
provide
opportunities
for
minorities
is
a
true
step,
especially
with
all
the
things
that
have
been
taken
away
through
real
estate
and
all
different
things.
So
just
wanted
to
stay
like
that.
So
thank
you
guys.
I
am
in
super
approval
for
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
E
Earlier
stephen
fox
asked
why
all
the
cannabis
proposals
are
on
columbus
and
I
think
that's
because
columbus
has
room
for
double
parking
and
I
believe,
that's
a
part
of
the
plan
and
what
I
heard
about
the
technology
that
allows
you
to
order
in
advance
and
drive
up
or
come
up
and
get
it.
I
just
think
double
parkings
are
part
of
the
plan,
so
I
question
the
veracity
with
which
the
parking
attendants
or
whatever
they
will
be
called,
will
really
harass
customers
about
parking
paying
customers
about
parking.
E
So
my
question
is:
if
it
doesn't
work
that
well,
who
will
be
held
accountable
and
what
can
the
neighborhood
do
about
it,
and
I
have
the
same
question
about
the
cleanup
crew
and
the
two
strikes,
the
people
who
will
be
enforcing
two
strikes.
What
if
it
doesn't
work?
What,
if
the
expert
investors
from
california
say
costs
have
to
be
cut,
will
these
extra
employees
be
dispensed
with
or
are
they
required
to
stay
on
staff?
So
my
question's
about
accountability.
B
Well,
just
thank
you,
coco
california,
investors
once
again,
our
separate
business,
that's
our
delivery
business.
So
that's
one
two!
That's
the
reason
why
the
south
end
community
leaders,
stephen
and
bob
barney,
presented
at
mou
for
that
same
reason,
to
keep
us
accountable,
and
I
we
very
much
agree
to
that,
and
we
already
have
the
two-strike
rule
to
to
your
point:
is:
is
there
to
stay
if
someone's
banned
they're
banned
and
they
can't
come
back?
B
B
So
I
see
I
hear
everyone
in
this
call
saying
parking
is
always
an
issue,
but
yet
one
person
never
failed
to
mention
that
there
are
residents
in
the
area
that
would
easily
walk
to
this
establishment.
I
think
the
the
easiest
thing
is
to
to
knack
on
parking
parking
parking
as
if
south
bend
is
not
heavily
populated,
as
if
render
coffee
doesn't
have
people
that
are
within
walking
distance
of
their
business.
Just
to
be
completely
frank,
there
are
dispensers
in
almost
every
neighborhood
of
the
city.
B
Therefore,
individuals
that
live
in
east
boston
don't
have
to
drive
to
the
south
end
individuals
that
live
on
newbury
street
and
bulletin
street.
There's
a
dispensary
opening
right
next
to
the
apple
store.
There
are
dispensaries
in
every
neighborhood,
so
to
think
individual
will
constantly
drive
to
this
location,
because
there
aren't
dispensaries
located
nearest
to
them
is,
is
is
absurd
and
to
think
into
your
in
to
your
point,
coco
you're,
you
would
be
very
valid
if
we
were
the
only
dispenser
in
the
city
of
boston
and
the
only
option,
but
just
like
liquor
stores.
B
B
We
address.
If
you
are
parked
in
the
area
that
is
not
liable
or
valid,
you
will
be
asked
to
remove,
be
removed
and
you
cannot
shop
at
our
location.
Therefore,
that
person
wants
to
sit
there
all
day
and
be
a
pain.
They
definitely
can,
but
that's
when
we
call
call
the
police
and
make
sure
they
are
escorted
out
of
the
neighborhood.
If
that's
the
case.
E
Okay,
but
I
think
I
asked
so
what
I'm
questioning
is
the
veracity
of
which
the
parking
supervisors
will
do
that,
and
so
I
hear
that
you
think
that
there
won't
be
a
parking
problem,
because
people
will
walk,
and
I
also
hear
that
you
have
a
plan
to
not
allow
it.
But
my
question
is
accountability.
What
if
it
doesn't
work,
what
are
next
steps,
or
are
we
just
sort
of
going
to
think
magical
thoughts
about
this.
B
Magical
thoughts
is
not
a
reality.
We
speak
factualities
on
this
call
in
actualities,
I
think
in
actualities
we
will
des
devise
a
plan
that
we,
as
businessmen,
have
done
for
our
other
business.
We
will
speak
with
the
leaders
and
community
members
of
the
south
bend
to
figure
out
another
option
that
will
stop
those
individuals
from
parking
on
the
street.
Hence
the
reason
why
our
mou
was
open-ended.
S
Yes,
I
have
two
questions
and
a
comment.
Actually,
when
one
comes
with
a
dispensary
proposal
of
such
a
sensitive
marketing,
marketable
production
like
cannabis,
must
take
into
consideration
first
and
foremost,
the
health
concerns
and,
secondly,
location
and
thirdly,
the
supply
and
distribution
chain,
and
these
are
not
included
in
this
proposal.
S
A
S
S
Thanks
for
that,
I
think
you
should
really
encourage
yourselves
to
work
on
that
type
of
supply
chains.
It
is
much
marketing
wise.
It
is
much
promising
much
handy
and
much
easier
to
manage
than
to
go
as
an
isolated
marketing.
You
know
firm
and
try
to
struggle
by
yourselves
as
such.
It
is
better
to
you,
know,
widen
your
sphere
of
marketing
possibilities
through
cvs,
walgreens
or
even
others,
and
even
also
you
know,
other
supply
chains
and
try
how
to
work
out
enough
and
the
business
can't
reach
your
customers
easily.
C
H
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to,
after
listening
to
everything,
say,
say:
maybe
something
that
would
calm
the
community
with
respect
to
the
type
of
clientele
that
might
be
shopping
at
this
store
and
if
it's
going
to
be
drug
addicts
from
madison
cass,
it's
really
expensive
to
shop
at
a
cannabis
store
and
the
tax
is
something
like
25.
So
I
just
think
that
if
someone
can
be
on
mass
and
cass
and
get
the
drugs
that
they
want
there,
I
don't
think
that
there's
going
to
be
this
overflow
of
drug
addicts
to
our
street.
H
But
I
do
after
hearing
more
about
the
location,
size
and
everything
I
do
maybe
agree
with
that
that
the
location
is
too
small.
A
lot
of
the
other
cannabis
locations
in
the
city
are
much
larger
and
just
a
side
comment,
sweet
and
sour
kind
of
sounds
like
a
candy
store
when
the
vibe
of
a
lot
of
the
other
cannabis
stores
are
a
little
bit
more
upscale.
You've
got
affinity
and
you've
got
neta
and
be
well,
and
you
know
they
tend
to
feel
more
like
luxury
spaces,
and
this
feels
maybe
maybe
a
little
bit
more.
H
Something
that's
like
misleading.
As
a
candy
store,
but
really
what
I
want
to
learn
more
about
is
zip
run,
and
I
asked
you
guys
earlier
about
zip
run
and
you
indicated
that
you
couldn't
do
something
with
zip
run
anymore.
The
city
didn't
you
know,
so
I
see
all
these
filings
the
city
of
boston,
granted
your
license
to
operate
a
cannabis
delivery
service,
but
you're
out
you're,
you're,
basically
saying
that
you
can't
do
that
anymore,
and
I
I'd
like
you
to
comment
on
what
happened
to
zip
run
in
the
last
year.
K
B
Because
this
is
regarding
a
sweet
and
sour
call,
but
zip
run
has
a
technology
component
to
it.
It
had
a
courier
delivery
delivery
component
to
it
and
it
had
a
delivery
operator
component
to
it.
So
before
we
even
started
or
even
started
the
conversation
regarding
the
delivery
component,
we
had
operated
under
our
tech
arm,
meaning
we
would
partner
with
the
likes
of
other
cannabis
retailers
in
the
city
of
boston
and
greater
boston
for
that
matter,
and
we
would
use
more
of
an
in-store
pickup
model,
not
a
delivery
model.
B
Unfortunately,
the
way
the
ccc
regs
are
read
members
of
the
ccc
viewed
a
delivery
company
as
non-compliant
if
they
created
their
own
tech,
stack
and
used
it
to
service
other
retail
establishments.
So
we
had
to
kind
of
lay
that
business
to
rest
unless
it
was
our
own
and
then
long
story
short.
I
don't
know
if
you
know
much
about
the
curry
license,
but
the
courier
license
is
very
similar
to
ubereats.
B
We
would
partner
with,
let's
say
a
dispensary
somewhere
in
boston
and
we
deliver
from
their
location
to
a
consumer's
address
that
license
is
not
profitable,
to
say
the
least.
Many
reasons
not
going
to
go
down
that
path,
but
we
decided
not
to
move
forward
with
that
anymore
and
then,
last
but
not
least,
there's
a
delivery
operator
license
where
we
can
buy
product
at
the
wholesale
level,
store
it
in
our
facility
in
dorchester
and
then
delivered
right
from
our
warehouse
to
consumers
similar
to
the
gopuff
amazon
model.
H
C
No,
that's
not
the
case
at
all.
These
are
two
separate
licenses,
as
gabe
talked
about
there's
a
courier
license
in
which
you
can
deliver
for
another
retailer
right.
We
used
our
technology
in
order
to
facilitate
that
there's
a
delivery
operator
license
which
is
actually
a
more
profitable
business
and
that's
us
as
entrepreneurs.
We
chose
to
go
with
delivering
our
own
product
instead
of
delivering
other
people's
products.
Hence
why
we
were
up
and
running
for
a
little
bit
and
now
we're
waiting
to
launch
with
our
own
product
from
the
place
in
dorchester.
B
Really,
no
we're
using
the
technology
piece
of
zip
run
to
facilitate
order
ahead
for
a
sweet
and
sour
the
ruling
under
the
ccc
was.
We
cannot
use
our
technology
for
anybody
else
under.
We
can't
use
our
technology
for
any
other
company
that
doesn't
have
gabriel
vieira
christian
nicholson
or
ellis
on
the
on
the
ownership
bill,
but
we,
but
we
can
use
it
for
our
own
companies,
zip,
run
and
sweet
and
sour
are
totally
separate.
Businesses.
B
Q
Q
You
know
all
of
our
local
southern
residents
and
I
just
really
wanted
to
take
a
step
back
and
try
to
share
some
positive
light
on
this
call,
it's
more
of
a
comment
versus
a
question.
I
think
it's
important
to
try
and
normalize
this
industry
to
be
similar-ish
to
other
brick-and-mortars
in
the
neighborhood.
Q
I
actually
commend
this
team
for
the
thoughtfulness
and
really
taking
the
neighbors
concerns
into
account.
It's
actually
how
gabe
started
off
this
call
speaking
directly
to
the
parking,
the
trash
security
et
cetera,
listen,
I
mean,
in
my
opinion
the
team
is
heading
that
is
addressing
this
head-on.
I
think,
quite
frankly,
these
issues
shouldn't
really
deter
the
progress
being
made
on
a
macro
level
right,
allowing
this
industry
to
flourish,
giving
underrepresented
individuals
the
opportunity
to
be
business
owners
in
a
gentrified
neighborhood,
and
I
I'd
argue
if
granted
the
opportunity.
Q
You
know
this
may
act
as
a
case
study
for
other
like-minded
entrepreneurs
in
this
city.
So
I
just
hope,
as
you
know,
residents
we
can.
You
know
rally
around
this
group,
which
will
stimulate,
stimulate
local,
the
local
economy,
provide
jobs,
and
you
know
having
been
a
patron
at
other
dispensaries
around
the
city.
Q
It's
really
going
to
be
a
shame
if
we
can't
follow
suit
and
be
a
you
know
a
leader
and
allow
these
kind
of
hiccups
to
kind
of
oppose
the
progress
being
made
here,
and
I
think
I
just
you
know
and
was
just
saying
you
know
for
all
of
our
community
members
that
have
not
been
to
a
dispensary
yet
in
the
city.
I
would
strongly
encourage
you
to
do
so.
I
live
in
the
ink
block
area
and
I
have
a
car.
Q
If
you
want
to
send
me
a
little
note,
I'm
happy
to
drive
there.
You
don't
even
need
to
purchase
anything
just
for
the
experience
to
show
what
it
can,
what
it
can
be
like
in
our
neighborhood.
So
again
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
the
contribution.
It
gives
me
a
lot
of
pride
to
live
in
this
neighborhood.
So
thanks.
J
Yeah
just
a
quick
question
for
you
guys.
I
do
appreciate
your
patience
and
time
tonight.
I
know
this
is
probably
an
exhausting
experience
for
you,
but
you've
heard
from
the
get-go
concerns
that
the
neighbors
have
had
about
traffic
and
parking
congestion
on
that
very,
very
busy
block,
and
my
question
is
simply
to
you:
is:
have
you
conducted
or
commissioned
a
traffic
and
parking
study
for
this
business
and
if
not,
why
not.
B
No,
we
have
not
answered
a
question
honestly,
just
one:
it's
not
a
requirement
number
one
number
two.
We
just
felt
that
one
we
didn't
have
to
do
a
foreign
delivery,
business
or
one.
The
traffic
study
would
probably
matter
more
for
that
too
yeah.
We
just
didn't.
Do
it,
I'm
not
going
to
sit
there
and
give
excuses
for
why
we
didn't,
but
we
just
followed
by
the
process
and
went
through
with
it,
and
I
felt
like
all
the
times.
We
have
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
community.
N
So
what
I'd
like
to
suggest
is
that
that,
outside
of
the
bounds
of
this
statutory
required
meeting,
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
continue
this
dialogue
as
a
community
and
as
as
business
proposers
as
applicants,
so,
although
the
the
course
forward
will
have
its
own,
you
know
sort
of
mile
markers
I.
I
would
just
like
to
think
that
we
could
continue
to
have
community
dialogue
in
this
kind
of
a
forum
that
will
allow
us
to
continue
to
refine
concerns
and
address
them
going
forward.
N
And
I
I
I
think,
gabe
your
you
and
your
team
are
are
certainly
welco
open
to
that
kim.
We
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot
in
terms
of
having
to
do
all
of
that,
but
but
those
of
us
who
represent
neighborhood
associations
and
concerned
neighbors,
I
think,
should
continue
this
dialogue
and
and
and
I
I
I
hope-
that
people
wouldn't
think
that
this
is
the
end
of
the
conversation.
A
A
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
that
means
like
he'd
want
to
have
another
meeting
or,
but
it
would
just,
but
just
so
everyone's
aware,
if
we
do
have
another
meeting,
it
would
just
be
in
the
form
of
like
a
regular
butters
meeting.
So
there
wouldn't
need
to
be
all
the
you
know,
the
flyering
and
all
of
that,
but
I
mean
that
we
can
definitely
do
that.
B
B
Continue
to
come
about
stephen
bob,
I
know
I
don't
have
everyone's
email
slash
number
on
on
this
video
call
right
now,
but
please
feel
free
to
go
through
bob
or
go
through
stephen
to
get
to
me
and
the
same
goes
for
you
as
well
david.
Thank
you
again.
I
know
I'm
only
only
I'm
not
picking
on
the
people
that
have
spoken
the
most,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
that
have
spoken.
B
The
most
definitely
know
I'm
here
to
continue
the
conversation
and
I'm
very
ecstatic
at
the
fact
that
the
community
on
the
last
call
brought
up
creating
mou,
because
to
me
I
was
not
no,
it
was.
It
was
not
knowing
that
affinity
did
that.
I
don't
know
of
any
of
the
dispensaries
that
have
done
that,
but
I
appreciate
the
community's
level
of
commitment
to
this
process.
So
thank
you
so
much.
F
Yeah,
sorry,
just
I
know
you're
trying
to
end
this
kim,
but
just
two
things
one.
I
guess
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
the
other
cannabis
applicant.
That's
on
columbus
avenue
kim.
Could
you
update
the
group
of
where
that
is?
That's,
that's
one
and
then
gabe.
I
I
think
I
said
this
in
the
beginning,
but
I
just
want
to
say
it
again.
F
You
know,
I
think
getting
alignment
in
this
multi-use
building
is
critical
and
I
know
you
talked
about
zoning
when
I
started
talking
about
this,
but
one
of
the
things
that
happened
at
552
is:
it
was
really
within
the
building.
There
was
an
alignment
open,
the
cannabis
store,
you
know,
so
I
guess
I
just.
I
want
to
put
that
back
at
you
that
there's
going
to
be
this
discussion.
I
think
with
the
building
itself,
this
you
know
multi-unit,
commercial,
residential
and
so
kim.
F
A
329,
I
think
329
right
sorry
about
that.
No,
that's!
Okay!
As
far
as
I
know,
they
aren't
scheduled
to
the
cannabis
board.
Yet
the
thing
is
before
the
application
I
mean
so
obviously,
after
like
you
have
this
community
meeting
they're
they're
kind
of
all
set,
but
they
just
need
a
letter
from
the
counselor,
whether
it's
support
opposition
on
opposition.
A
They
have
45
days
to
do
that,
so
the
district
counselor
needs
to
just
send
basically
send
a
letter
giving
some
type
of
position
that
on
the
proposal,
so
I
think
the
45th
day
I
think,
might
actually
be
july
1st,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
I
think
that's
what,
when
I
talked
to
the
canvas
board
manager,
that's
what
she
said,
but
yeah.
So
there's
still
some
time.
A
F
A
A
So
for
this
proposal
I
mean
it's
the
same
for
all,
but
for
this
one
specifically
after
sweet
and
sour
completes
their
community
meeting,
they
will
get
scheduled
for
the
bcb
and
that's
just
determined,
there's
a
wait
list
and
then
also
they
need
the
the
letter
from
the
counselor
which
they
have
45
days.
So
the
counselor
might
write
it
tomorrow.
They
might
write
it
on
the
45th
day,
it's
totally
up
to
them
and
then,
if
that's
approved
by
the
cannabis
board,
they
need
to
negotiate
a
community
host
agreement.
A
So
that's
just
an
agreement
of
basically
being
like
a
good
neighbor
with
the
community
and
the
business
and
then
the
sweden
tower
will
then
move
on
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
then,
if
they're
approved
there,
they
need
to
move
on
to
a
state
process
which
is
on
that
cannibal.
Excuse
me:
cannabis
control.
Commission
and
then,
if
they're
approved
there,
they
need
to
register
with
a
business
in
the
city
of
boston
and
then
just
just
noting
the
state
process
is
pretty
lengthy,
too.
A
B
Think
you'd
do
it
since
we're
going
through
the
process
with
zipper,
and
I
think
the
lengthiest
part
is
really
construction.
So
if
individuals
don't
have
to
do
much
construction
on
their
facility,
you
can
see
them
opening
up
within
you
know
eight
months,
but
if
there's
a
lot
of
construction,
that's
needing
on
the
facility,
obviously
them
getting
approved
by
the
bcb
in
the
zba
and
then
going
through
the
state
process
yeah.
I
think
social
equity
companies
have
an
expedited
process,
but
for
the
most
part,
that's
typically
8
to
12
to
12
months
so
kim.
A
Thanks
and
then
the
last
thing,
if
anyone
thinks
of
any
questions
or
if
anyone
wants
to
send
a
letter
of
support
opposition
on
opposition
whatever
it
is,
please
send
it
to
me
and
the
boston
cannabis
board
or
if
you
just
send
it
to
me,
I
can
send
it
to
them
too.
Just
so
they
have
it.
But
I'm
gonna
put
my
email
in
the
chat,
so
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
with
any
questions
or
any
letters
or
anything
like
that.
