license um we have Miguel Lopez on the agenda for okay I'll table this until the end of the meeting do I need to make a motion for that okay the next item on the agenda we have aex Street convenience store is applying for an off- premise wine and malt liquor license good evening Commissioners hello attorney Brian cargan 122 Chestnut Street andov Mass on behalf of the applicant uh this uh case unfortunately um we don't have much to present tonight um I will just provide you with some background I I periodically um check in with the abcc just to see what the quota City quota looks like and uh check other towns just in case there may be something that comes available that I might be able to uh uh present to my clients back on March 1st I um I reached out to Patricia Hathaway at the abcc and she sent me the quote of for lawence I'll send this to Mr Lopez as it turns out there was a uh an off- premises wine and malt uh license available according to the abcc so I uh had couple of clients that had reached out to me uh in the past and you know asked if I would keep an eye out for them if anything ever came available so uh once I learned this I reached out to to uh uh Juan Martinez the proprietor of the ESS Street uh Market uh we started the application we filed the application we we uh prepared a zoning uh application which we uh didn't file because right after we filed with the city uh licensing board we we learned that in fact the quota had closed so something happened between March 1st and and May 28th or whatever it was that we uh that we filed and so so there is no longer an off- premises wine and malt license available for uh the client in this case so we have we have submitted a complete application I think um uh Mr Lopez has reviewed it I I believe it's uh complete we put a halt on everything so we we're not going to go to zoning at this point um we would just ask the licensing board if we could just table the matter in case something comes up uh in the near future and then we would have the application on fire uh if nothing has changed then we would have we'd be ready to go um if we need to read advertise for meeting that would be fine but uh I guess all we're asking we're not asking for the board to consider the the validity of the matter or issue anything tonight we just want to table it okay and uh if something does come available in the near future we we'd like to hopefully be first in line uh for for that license okay commissioner Le no I have no problem um I know we're Clos to to the max at that thing anyway so I I have no no problem with tbling this and if one comes available to Grant it yeah okay Lieutenant cillo no questions Captain Delaney no questions okay okay I don't have any questions either um I'm going to make a motion then we uh table this matter and the first license that comes available that we issue it to them okay I'll second the motion commissioner Le made a motion to table matter for exess convenient second by commissioner Morales how commissioner Le how do you vote Yes commission Morales how do you vote Yes the item is table and I will let you know as soon license can be available okay thank you to reapply thank you thank you the next item on the agenda we have alop Plaza Inc good evening once again Commissioners Brian caran on behalf of uh CND autostar LLC uh with me tonight uh are my clients the uh Proprietors of that LLC I've got uh daia alcantra and her husband uh Carlos Rodriguez uh I just met with my these clients today so I did not really have a chance to spend much time with them and and uh prepare but what I believe is before the board tonight is not a new application for a license but it's to uh review uh the existing license at this establishment which is 44-46 uh Chandler Street and what I have uh been able to compile today uh from my clients uh is one um I guess in in order of uh chronology uh the uh previous uh the previous occupant SL liy was a gentleman by the name of of Marcelo roas who was doing business as autop Plaza may have been autop Plaza Inc I'm not sure but he was uh evicted by uh order of the um uh Lawrence District Court so he is no longer operating uh at the premises I have uh a copy of the execution uh for possession and money and money judgment uh with a cover letter from the landlord uh confirming that uh Mr roas and his company are no longer operating on site and then Commissioners I have a uh what I have is a lease agreement uh between the uh the owner of the property and and my my my clients so um because they've been working on their own uh they attempted to submit uh an application for a license for their op their Auto Sales operation but had some difficulty with the citizen serve application they were not successful in getting that done so what I hope to do is after tonight's meeting uh sit down with them with my associate Marisol we're going to work uh on the application try to get everything uh submitted um for review and approval by Mr Lopez and then uh hopefully by the commission at the next meeting but I wanted to just make sure uh that we didn't need to provide anything else to confirm that the previous lense e uh is no longer uh on the premises uh so uh I would ask the commission to provide any feedback you may have on that okay so to clarify we currently have are are they the owner of the license of the of the establishment or no no they have a lease um with the owner of the establishment MH which is the prospect Iron and Steel Corporation that owns uh 44 46 CH Street okay um okay so the license we're talking about uh the the person used to hold it before was scos Rodriguez no Carlos Rodriguez is is is my the new one the new client with his wife Dania alcantra okay um so I guess I I am not sure of the procedure uh Commissioners does the existing license have to be revoked somehow because it's uh there's no longer an operation there I'm not 100% sure if that person has come in to try to transfer it to new location sorry commissioner the new rules and regulations I don't think you have a copy of these yet for the licenses no it says here licenses are issued to serve the public convenience everything license are conducted any license who permanently ceases business operation shall immediately surrender its license and physically delivered to the licensing board if the license he intends to suspend business oper for a temporary period he must first notify license board with a written notice 10 days Peri if it doesn't we can take it away okay I take it I take it Mr roas did not surrender his license when he uh was evicted no Okay so so what has to happen now is that the Antonio has to send him a a letter okay and bring him in front of the licensing board and then if he ain't going to open it then we'll suspend his license okay so can we move forward with uh an application to while that process is running no no we have to wait until that other license is revoked yes okay all right I'm de1 so yes but he supposed to turn get his license and not be open he has to turn the license into you he has not turned his license into you so he's in violation there or go to room 107 and do the with he can do that if he does we can issue the new license for a new applicant so but in this case what we're saying is that the the business that was working there is no longer in it's no longer working been evicted they've been evicted court order so could we send them a letter to let them know as maybe we can do that process this week and then that way I've been calling and try to reach out him and I couldn't talk to so one of the issues commission how do you reach a guy who's no longer at his licensed establishment I don't know how we would get him what we're going to work out but according to he supposed to turn his licenses the day he suspended his operation all right and he hasn't done it so he's in violation okay so we can send him try to send him if he doesn't answer then we'll just revoke it and simple as that and then once it's revoked then my clients can so we could get an application on file at least and then if everything gets if the other one gets revoked then you could you could entertain this new application correctly we can so what I propose that we do is that we amend we um table this matter for the next meeting so that hopefully by then we can have two weeks from now go ahead make it easier go ahead mik for the next meeting we'll bring this guy in okay if he does not come we'll revoke his license okay if he does show then we'll go for there but we'll put you on for the meeting after with the next meeting is the 20th right the the next meeting after that we'll put you on the agenda so we we'll be tabled until then okay all right I don't want you both here the same day you'd be like a energy Lounge again don't thank you but I I love those uh I love those meetings okay so we'll make a motion to table this matter not for the 20th but for the following date July 7th we meeting Well it can't be July 4th July 10th is the next Wednesday okay okay we schedule for we'll table this me till Jan uh July 10th

they um set up a day to put def fence I don't know if the fire department is involved in that they have to go and check make sure that everything is going to be set all right and I be able to put a few tables out there so people can eat 's say mhm thank you I have no questions Lieutenant serlo yeah the only thing that I see here is is 9:00 a.m. to midnight it's actually 9 to 11 not to 11 I know okay all right okay we morning time we will be to Sunny so I assume people won't sit down there to get burned but in the afternoon before 11 they might be able to just sit there I do have a questions taking taking under consideration that I'm already here um we do have um and I ask special services if we could you know that for fesk ours and whatever I do have my kit one of them has like a little hug dog card and he was wondering if he could probably put it out there and inspection and services upstair they said no problem but I wanted just to make yeah sure that of the rest the police department doesn't have any issue with that I don't know I don't know about fire department but all right question Captain delini good evening yes when uh when you have everything set up we'll do an inspection if you need any assistance for us let us know what what's the hot dog car consist of is it propane is it what's what's the fuel propane but it's a push guard very simple basic okay I'd start with inspectional services to see if if a a push card is allowed on the sidewalk you got it has to go to you regardless and I probably have to fill out an application once we get the patio approved then I can you have to approve the card after inspection I CU I I had one before correct you probably just have to check with inspectional Services if one of those cards are allowed yeah they said they said it was okay it will be up to you guys okay okay the cat's going to be just at your location though right yeah yeah he's from of location so we shouldn't have an issue with that you guys already have your yeah I'm already uh pre assisting business yeah so as long as it works with the fire department there shouldn't be an issue with us okay great I'll go ahead I'll make a motion yeah I don't have questions this work I'll make a motion we approve it yeah I'll second commissioner Le made an another motion to approve a groom piece uh partens 85 to 91 common 3 second by commissioner Morales commission Le how do you vote Yes commissioner Morales how do you vote Yes motion pass you can contact uh DPW to set up the bar case there all right okay thank you so much good luck thank you byebye okay then the next item on the agenda we have sanis bana who's supplying for two-day beer license at pton Park for June 15 to 16 hello do I have to say my address and everything no no no okay one question why it say a Pon Park in the Park yeah um commissioner do you have questions uh just this application is not complete you know that right and be before I could even approve it it has to be approved I have here uh your plans what is it miss your insurance insurance was in okay and then I don't we have the insurance it was a problem when it was first uh done two days ago I asked the person that did it was the vice president and I asked specifically because I know that procedure I have done it myself in the past and just say yes I I click yes but then he called me and was like no it was supposed to be separate and then we proceeded and did it but it's going to be at pebbleton Park right no it's not it's at the senior center where so you need the LI okay so it is at the senior center it'll be at the senior center like last year yeah so what they're asking for is the license for the senior center so you know where we have the senior center that there's like a parking lot in that area they they almost do like a beer garden where's the host Hispanic weekend going to be at the park where at the park at the Comm at the campon park as we have a meeting next Friday I'm not going to approve nothing until I know where the party is going to be do we Okay do we know if the so my question is do we know if it's already been approved that the Sani span is happening in it was said yesterday that it was it was the all the consors were in favor if it wasn't with without if it was without a riot so we're taking the riot out oh well I was told that you're not having no party at the in the common because of the rids and we taking them out so we're not we're not using the the carnival you're not using the com no what are you going to use then it's just going to be the the festival okay so without the carnival without the rides which was the complaint okay what Lieutenant sir oh go ahead Mike go ahead off yeah yes all right good good evening so again just a point of clarification last night they went before the uh city council to my knowledge that was not approved last night okay I believe there's going to be another special meeting that they're going to bring this matter forward again but I don't know know when that is and Friday I guess they're going to bring it before the city council once again for a vote so again I agree with with you we're putting the cop before the hus I think this is something that we we have to either table or approve pending city council approval yeah yeah that's right um so uh again uh there's nothing set in stone where this this is taking place at this time okay so we have um thank you lieutenant Sero so there's a special meeting taking place on Friday at 5:00 okay um I think Lieutenant Cello's suggestions makes sense that we table this until we know the direction which the city's going cuz if we were to approve it now and then it turns out we're having it in a different location then we would have to go through the entire process well that's the other question like if they don't have it in the Comon and they don't allow it there because I hear some people don't want it in the comment some do they wanted it out of Pon Park and then why are we approving approve a license for the senior citizen the center no that's where they they want the liquor license for yeah the senior center uh Center Senior Citizen Center um if they're going to have it down in Penington Park will say then we're not going to prove it for that there it's got to be proed some place around there we're not going to have it up pental park that's fine I'm going I'm going to make a motion we table this thing until you get all your paperwork done and come back with with all the right answers not a problem thank you I'll second the motion made a motion to table SE Espana for the next special meeting until they got the approval from the city council H mini the next meeting we're having is two weeks from now so we'll make sure to post it um so that you know the what is to be in special meeting before commission is I may say you would have to have a special meeting prior to that for approval because the event is going to take place on the 15th and the 16th okay right next week but I'm asking you for another special meeting for that guy that came in so we can put them on the same date we yeah we can make a special meeting happen okay perfect so that's what I'm saying so we'll have to make if if this gets approved on Friday night we will need a special meeting to get a liquor license before the board prior to the through to the 15th to the 16th yeah okay we can make that happen we would have to make it happen yeah okay yeah yeah this is for the 15th through the 16th the what Saturday and Sunday Saturday and Sunday the 15 and 16 okay yeah we can have a meeting next week after you okay soon some else wants to come we can have a special meeting and put you on the agenda the same time I don't know what what's going on but you better sit down with some and straighten this thing out I know thank you okay thank you you're late it's okay at 530 all okay um maram Valley Country Club last one first of all I want to apologize it's nice to see you again Captain Delaney members of the board so uh I was in class and Miguel called me he's like Pedro I can't make it today so I found out a way to sneak to the bathroom I was really good at that in class so I snuck out of the B went into the bathroom and I I disappeared and that's I managed to get here thinking I was on time so um I know that uh from what I was told uh we are only allowed nine events we've done to this point seven I was under the impression that we were allowed up to 12 but that is a material because this would be our last event for the next I want to say uh 6 months we only plan on doing something again on for God willing for either Christmas or for uh the upcoming new year uh this event is uh uh sanctioned by a a member they are called the venes which is I'm having trouble pronouncing that name but they are um from the region of the Dominican Republic known as CA I thought that was thought that was my phone excuse me um so these guys are really talented it's folk music um a lot of accordion a lot of um guas um uh it's going to be a very very good event I uh they they only meet once a year and uh they went to our location sometime last year for an event that Miguel had and they fell in love with the location and they scheduled this almost 8 months in advance so uh we're I'm I'm humbled and I feel a little bit uh privileged because they're a great organization first time we've had them and I hope that it's the beginning of many more to come cool go ahead mik yeah I was I wondering are you going to pray for a full license or what yes sir so um I I was having a very serious personal problem at home uh with the mother of my oldest child and I don't want to get into it but it's something that she's transitioned we're moving forward and now we've decided that this is something that we are going going to do and we plan on applying God willing second week of July okay okay we had to do that just I
