Strugga manager 11 p.m. closing hour has also petitioned to update the description of the premise as follows. a 700 ft² full service restaurant featuring a fully equipped kitchen and indoor dining and bathroom with accommodations for up to 17 guests indoors. Total capacity expands to 57
with the front 10 seat and rear 30 seat seasonal patios April to October on private property from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Restaurant has three entrances and three exits. Who is present on behalf of the applicant? Hello, my name is Doug
Shruga. Thank you Mr. for being with us. If you could please uh present the proposed concepts to the board. Yes. Um so I'm a US citizen. I do live in the Commonwealth. I'm familiar with the rules and uh I do have a lot of
experience in the foot business for over 20 years now. Um just trying to transfer the license from Buba Bar. I believe our lawyer is present in here too. I also have
My manager is here too that we've been training here for a few months now and hoping for a small transaction. Thank you very much for joining us um today. So are you are you um changing
the layout as the total capacities expands to 57? Oh, everything's staying the same. It just um he has a patio in the front and a back. So, April to October, you do get more seating, but uh inside is only a 17 seats.
Okay. Um and what are your hours of operation? Um at the moment, I think they're 7 to 7 to 8. 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Correct. Monday. Monday,
Sunday. Monday to Sunday. Okay. Um So, it looks like I don't know if your attorney's here, but it looks like that the description says it's an 11:00 p.m. closing hour. We're asking for 11 um I think the patio when they've originally applied, I think the patio hours were
wrong. They were put like 6:00 a.m. to 400 p.m. So, I think that's what we're trying to fix when we transfer everything to be like same hours as inside from whenever the patio is open if it makes sense. I'm just confused with the description, Danny. It still says 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I'm pulling it up right now. Hi, my name is uh sorry to cut you off. My name is Christian with the application. the description changed uh when we spoke with Wendy to better reflect the um since it's just a transfer. It was the
previous license. Uh that's how it was listed originally and she told me to change it like that. But we do want to have the outdoor patio be the closing time of the indoor which is 11 pm. It's all a little confused with the maybe a little miscommunication between myself and
well that that is an issue if you're trying to expand patio hours. Um did you have any community process? No, we were told that we didn't need one. It's just a transfer. We didn't have to speak with the uh that was another issue that uh came up with Mr. Michael Ricekin. Sure.
But did he know you were changing the patio hours? No. Yeah. So, that's an issue. Okay. Could we keep it the uh the same hours then as a previous license and then change it in the future just so we don't have to uh delay the meeting? Yeah, I'm okay with that. I'll have to
take that under consideration. But there's some um I don't know there's some finessing I think you need to do with this just this description. If you are not changing anything at all. Yeah. I don't know. This was this was
we were a little confused ourselves too because uh the previous license also says uh the closing hour for the outdoor seating which I can email you a copy of. Well, we have it. But we do. Do we need more information? Uh no.
I mean the the question is what is the request in regards to the patio hours that the application before us and what was advertised publicly uh is for a 4 p.m. close outdoors. Um so if there is going to be a change to that that would uh require either community process
further ad um you know more process than right so if if the Mr. Mr. Rice can speak to it, but if he was only told that there the if he was told the patio wasn't changing, that's different than requesting it um
to be the same as inside. But um I'll see if Commissioner Saxon or Commissioner Car have any questions and then we'll figure out what to do next. Um I might have lost. Who is going to be the manager of record?
Uh me, Peter, Salam, and Costas. No, there's only one one manager of record. Sorry, Eruga. You're the You're the manager of record. So, the other individual you introduced is just your like nonofficial manager, right? Correct.
Uh that's the only question I had. Not for right now. I'll listen to um you know, if there are any comments from the community. Thank you. With that, we will see if there are any individuals with us this morning who would like to testify, beginning with elected officials or their
representatives or any other individuals who would like to testify on this matter. Mr. Rice, you may please present your testimony. Um, my name is Michael Ricekin. I live at 425 South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plane, member of the neighborhood council and chair of its uh
public service committee. Um, we would like a community process. This is a uh an all alcohol license, I mean beer and wine license um with long hours and uh we would like to be able to vet uh the
new owners. This restaurant has changed hands from the Struga family back to the Amarosa family and now back I guess to the Struga family. Although I guess they're your uncle or cousins of the
previous My uncle owners. Correct. Yeah. Um so we would like uh uh some community process on this. Um the hours are very similar. Actually the old hours were the same um capacity inside and outside. Uh
the only change was the patio uh had been licensed uh previously from 12 noon to 11 p.m. So it had the same closing hour uh but a different uh opening hour, but we would like to uh have some um uh
chance to uh vet the new owner. Our next uh possibility is July 1st. I don't know if that would So we're asking for a deferral uh until after then. I'm not sure if that would be acceptable. If I can just uh speak for one second
with Mr. Wiko, we didn't know that we had to do a community process. We were told that since it's just a transfer, didn't require any notice to the abuters or the neighbors or anything. A July 1st would delay this entire project way too long. We're definitely more than happy to meet with
you and the rest of the community. Is there any chance that we can have the license, say if it were to be approved today, for example, would be able to have it approved, just not be able to release the license until after the community meeting because two months is
uh that would just it would cost thousands of dollars and delay everything. That question for It's not for me. Uh it's for Mr. Michael. Well, we we would like you to leaflet the area and do that. We can do a
special meeting early in June and um um if uh if that would be acceptable to you uh and then we'll uh present a letter uh depending on the
results. Per I know we're not voting today, but I do think a community process is important. I don't believe the previous restaurant even opened. So, I think it's important to have a process. I I understand. We're definitely more than happy to do that.
It's just we weren't aware. We were told by city hall that we had to do this. We were told that it was just do the application. We went over it with the licensing department and then we're told we're all set for the meeting. This all happened very quickly. If we knew ahead of time, we definitely would have u sat
down with the community. We would have sent out letters. They could have given us our cell phone. We would have given them our cell phone numbers to explain everything. Sure. Let me just jump in and ask you guys to take care of this outside of the hearing so we can Yeah. move on the agenda.
Thank you. Are there any other individuals who would like to testify on this matter? Great. Seeing none, the board will take this under adisement as well. Uh and uh we will be in touch um about the process uh following this hearing. Thank you. Thank you.

manager. Closing hours 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 1:00 a.m. Friday to Saturday. Attorney Nick Suzula. Tony Soula. Yeah, good morning. Uh, thank you, Attorney Green. Uh, good morning, Madam Chair, members of the board, Attorney Nick Soul, McDermott, Quilty, Miller, and Hanley. Uh, here on behalf
of Jen Korean Barbecue. Uh, with me today is Joy Kim, who's the proposed manager of record. Uh, as well as Joseph Sue, who's the district manager, uh, for the applicant. Uh this is located at 121 Harvard Avenue in Austin near the corner
with Brighton Nav uh kind of just behind uh Brighton Music Hall. Um it's in the Harvard Avenue community commercial subd district of the zoning code. Uh and you know I'm sure as the board is aware this area uh is you know Austin is dominated
by lots of restaurant and retail uses and this would fit right in. Um the site itself is an existing twostory uh commercial office building uh that they are proposing to renovate and fit out into a two-story restaurant. Um which
you heard in the license description. Um as part of the new restaurant concept, uh they are proposing to transfer in this wine and malt beverages with Lur's license. Um Jen Korean Barbecue is a traditional Korean barbecue full service restaurant.
It allows for patrons to grill meats, seafood, vegetables, etc. at their tables, which is kind of a premium experience, but um at affordable prices. Um the applicant uh is actually a public company uh since August of 2024. Uh they
currently have uh just over 40 locations uh across the United States. Um, as was writing in the record, um, the restaurant is two floors with basement storage, uh, total of just over 7,000 square ft. I'm not going to read in the rest of the description, which was
already entered in by Attorney Green. Um, hours of operation as well, again, 11:00 a.m., 11:00 p.m. uh, Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. uh, on the weekends, Friday and Saturday. uh which is again pretty typical for the area and in line with uh
other restaurants uh in and around this location. Um as far as community outreach is concerned, I'm know the mayor's office is on, but uh because this was a zoning case as well. Uh we did go through a pretty robust process. We had an abutter meeting uh in December
of 2024 which was lightly attended uh and and positive feedback was was given. We met with the Austin Civic Association in December 18th of 2024. Uh we met with the BAIA, the Brighton Austin Improvement Association in January of of this year. And we got approval from the
zoning board on January 23rd uh for the seconds story uh restaurant use as well. And then finally, just to wrap it all up, we did uh get a planning department recommendation of approval as well uh in early 2025 for this location. And during
the whole process, not only was the zoning discussed, but also the liquor license transfer uh coming into the coming into the space. Um status-wise, uh it actually is under construction already. Um and the hope is to open later this year uh after construction is
completed uh and fit out, but it is ongoing uh and has started at this location to to change it over from the office use to the to the two-story restaurant use. Uh the final thing I'll say uh as far as the manager of record is concerned uh Miss Kim is on uh she is
a resident of Massachusetts. Uh she is a citizen of the United States. She is over 21 years of age. Um she is familiar with the rules and regulations uh for uh sale and service of alcohol in the city. Uh she was recently tipc certified. Um
experience-wise she does not have restaurant experience. Um the plan is uh we are you know at least a few months out from opening likely fall uh to either find a more experienced manager of record and come back to you all for a change at that time or for her to gain
that experience before they open. Um this is their first location in Massachusetts. Um they have locations in New Jersey and New York. So they don't have another location to pull a manager of record from. Uh but Joseph as the district manager enjoy uh understand um
you know the the requirements um and again the plan is to be back in front of the board uh at some point for a change of manager record to somebody who will have that experience uh and who will be the manager on site uh at the location. So overall um although this is their
first location in the city and in the state they are a very experienced operator uh across multiple uh again over 40 locations successful track record across uh these locations in multiple states. Um they do understand the responsibilities of operating in the
city of Boston and take it seriously uh for this first foray into into the into the area. Um, so with that, Madam Chair, I'm happy to pause. Uh, we can answer any questions that you, uh, or the board may have. Thank you. Uh, thank you very much, attorney. Thank
you for joining us. Miss Kim, I have no questions. Commissioner Saxon or Commissioner Curin, I have no questions. Thank you. None from me. Thank you. Thank you.

expand the breadth uh of our service and foods to the uh community uh to include larger events such as weddings and banquetss. uh that the the ability to service larger events would be enhanced by the

sorry. So, I'm not sure why it says 12 a.m. Is that just a a correct something that needs to be corrected? Yes, it does. Uh I I believe what might have happened is that we might have submitted the application prior to this board's approval which was like I think a month
ago perhaps. Okay. So, I my apologies in that regard. I just want to confirm the record that the community is aware that you're Yes, ma'am. until 2 a.m. Okay. Um with that, I have no questions. Commissioner Sax or Commissioner Curry. I have no questions. Thank you. None
