parking on Jamaica Street and also he had didn't have any insurance for this year. I will address the insurance part real quick. His insurance when he registered at the beginning of the year was good until April of 25. >> He did the automatic renewal. When he
did the automatic renewal, it just didn't get a copy down here in time or didn't get trans copy down here. And he does have insurance, so those complaints are gone. As far as that, >> as far as parking on the street, uh when
I got there on the first day, um he had two cars out in the street. One was a a car on South Union Street with no plates on it. The other was a truck on Jamaica Street. The reason the truck there was with no plates because he just got off a tow truck and he was going to put it in
the lot. >> The car out on South Union Street with no plates on it. A customer was coming to test drive it. He was going to put a plate on it so they could test drive it. >> The customer did show up when I was there. As far as other items on the
street, there was a couple of barrels that had to be moved and stuff. He removed them and I went by about seven or eight times and stopped and spoke to the guy four or five times and each time the lot was cleaned, items were picked up and moved out of the way. The parking
on Jamaica Street on the other side of the street, I can show you here. >> He was complaining about that. >> Okay. >> He has one car parked there. The other cars belong to the tenants and there's no sign say you can't park there. Mhm. >> The cars that are parked there are the
tenants and people from the bagel company. >> Yeah. >> If they city of Lawrence wants to enforce cars over there, they ought to put a sign up there saying no parking. >> I don't see no violation there. >> The guy's running a clean business, you know, and anything any problem I had, I
went over there and talked to him. He handled everything perfect like a gentleman and no problems. >> Great. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Leair. We also spoke, I think last week with Officer Kano. No, I know we did and I think he probably went and visited your location as well. No
complaints there. So, just uh thank you for your willingness uh to receive the complaint and be cooperative with us as we did our work. Um I'll pass it over to Lieutenant Oh, sorry. >> Also, I received a letter from Inspector
Lef France today that all the violations have been taken care of. >> Great. Thank you. Thank you. I'll pass it over to Lieutenant Olivieri. So, I spoke to officer Ko. All violations that were in question have been resolved, so I have no questions. >> Great. Thank you, Lieutenant Frizz.
>> I actually passed by the business earlier today and had a conversation with gentlemen. Um, from the pictures that were shown in the incident, everything seems to be addressed. It was a clean lot from my point of view and uh he seemed receptive to everything I said. So, if you need anything from the
fire department, feel free to reach out. >> Absolutely. >> Yes. And thank you. And just to give you some history behind why we're making sure that we are up to code, we do have a ton of issues in the city with um car lots and car dealers and we just want to
make sure that folks are up to code and are doing what they can do for the residents but as well for their business to thrive. Um you are in a highly residential area which I'm sure you know. Um, and that business has been there for a very, very long time. And so I just want you all to be successful and
to use us as a resource. And thank you for um, again, just being responsive to us. And that's all. >> Yeah. I appreciate the work you guys do. Thank you so much for your help. >> I make a motion that we dismiss this as no complaints.
>> I second the motion. >> Commissioner Le made a motion to no found any violation and second by Commissioner Morales. Commission Le, do you vote? >> Yes. >> Commission Morales, how do you vote? >> Yes. >> You are free to go. You clean, too. I got the letter from Michael Friends
also. >> Thank you. I appreciate you. >> Good luck. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> I'll see you. The next item on the agenda, we have Natalia Restaurant Corporation is applying for a section 12 restaurant all alcohol beverages on Jackson Street.
>> Hi. Could you please state your name for the record? >> Sure. Good evening, commissioners. My name is attorney Patrick McDonald. I maintain a law office at 479 Eastern Avenue in Malden and I represent the petitioner in this matter, Natalia Restaurant Corp. which does business as
Natalia's Restaurant and Grill at 72 Jackson Street here in Lawrence. Uh this is a petition for a section 12 uh all alcohol restaurant license at that location. It is currently an unlicensed application uh and my client is seeking
to to be able to serve alcohol as part of his restaurant business. Uh the applicant Natalia Restaurant Corp is a Massachusetts corporation formed in 2023 of which my client Mr. Ariel Alon Darte is the sole officer, director and
shareholder. Uh his restaurant occupies that space uh pursuant to lease. It's a approximately 1500 square foot establishment with seating for 50 most of which is table seating but there is a very small I guess you call it a bar
area with six seats at it but it's primarily table seating uh in the establishment >> um and it's it's not a bar room or a bar it's a restaurant that has a very small bar area >> uh as I said Mr. Aron is the proposed
manager liquor license manager. Uh I want to bring to the commission's attention and error on the application specifically on the manager application part of it and more specifically in the area where the experience of the proposed manager is identified for the
benefit of the board and ABCC. Uh this arrow was mine by the way not Mr. archons. But with respect to his experience, you see a reference to him owning and operating an excavation company, which which he did for many years, his own excavation company, but
more relevant experience on the form as it is now suggests he was a night manager in establishment called Bruno's and Lynn. And that was an error on my part. He was not a night manager at Bruno's and Lynn, although there is a Bruno in Lynn. I I confused him while
filling this out with another party. His experience though is frankly in my opinion better than that. He was the liquor license manager of his own restaurant located in Malden. It was called Mex at the time. That was from 2018 to 2022. So he has four years
experience as a liquor license manager at another restaurant that he owned in Malden which he sold in 2022 and then after which he came up here to Lawrence to open up Natalia. So, um, with the indulgence of the board, I'd like to be able to amend or replace that page of
the application so that it correctly reflects his, uh, regardless of the board's action on this petition, I want the the materials to be correct, factually correct, and I would need to to change that page. I can >> uh, whatever the board's preference is, I can get a a revised page typed up and
scanned and sent up here uh, tomorrow as soon as tomorrow morning if if that's permissible. >> Yeah, definitely. All right. Thank you. Great. Um, >> and that's about it. Mr. Alakan Dwati is here. If the board has any questions of him, I'm certainly willing to answer it.
But he's an experienced uh restaurant tour. He's an experienced liquor license manager. Uh, to my knowledge, there are no issues with the operation of Natalia's presently down at 72 Jackson Street. And he'd like to uh expand his business to some extent by having the ability to to serve alcohol at his new
restaurant. We asked the board to act favorably on the petition. >> Great. Thank you. I don't have any question or site this second. I'll pass it over to Commissioner Leair. >> I'm familiar with the restaurant. It's been here for a number of years. Uh it's a clean restaurant. We haven't have any
problems with the restaurant. Um I see the picture. It's exactly what it's supposed to look like, a restaurant. I'm just hoping that he keeps it that way and doesn't open it to a dance club or anything like that. It's kind of small for it, but that's >> Yeah, it doesn't lend itself to anything really other than a than a modest
restaurant establishment. So, >> well, I have no problem with granting this thing when if we come to a vote, but >> make sure you get that thing uh >> fixed >> fixed and also get a copy of the liquor laws from city. Okay. >> If I may also have the affidavit
regarding uh the certified mailings and and publication. >> Great. Uh, >> you don't have the Would you like the green cards or >> No, you can put it out in the system. >> Okay. Very good.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Lieutenant Oliviveri. >> So, the address doesn't uh ring a bell as far as any issues in the past or anything like that. So, I have no questions. Good luck. >> Great. Thank you, Lieutenant Frizz.
>> I have no questions. I did a inspection of the business and everything seemed uh clean and up to code by my part. So, best of luck. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Um I don't have I just see the seating capacity here set for 50. I hope
that your business is thriving. Please do not have more than 50 patrons in your business. Um we have had situations where we've had almost triple the amount of folks that are allowed in a space to be in spaces. Um, and so we just don't
want that to be the case. But I wish you guys all the luck. >> Thank you. >> Great. Mike, >> just before I say anything, any renovations you're going to do to the restaurant from now on, if you get the liquor license, you have to notify us first. Uh, if you change the capacity here and
there, you have to come and notify us first. That's all I have. I'm going to make a motion we approve this. >> I'll second the motion. Motion to approve a full license. >> Yes.
>> Yes. >> I will uh get that to you tomorrow. Uh yeah, as early in the morning. Well, forgive me. I have court first thing in the morning. So it would have to be probably later in the morning or early afternoon. But tomorrow at some point you will get that from me, Mr. Lopez. >> As soon I will send it over to the
>> Excellent. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Great. The next item on the agenda we have um the Luna who's applying for a temporary outdoor patio permit. >> Hello.
>> Hello. How are you? >> My name is Jenny. I'm great, thanks. >> Good. Um, we have the application since the last uh licensing board meeting. We don't have any
concerns. We just wanted to make sure you are up to date with the patio arrangements. >> Okay. >> Um, so, Commissioner, do you have any questions? >> I have no questions. >> We don't have questions. We needed you to be here so we can approve this. Thank you so much, >> Lieutenant Olivier.
>> I have no questions. >> Lieutenant Frius, >> no questions. Great. >> Commissioner Leair, >> I make a motion we pass. Approve it. >> I'll second the motion. >> Yes.

>> no Paravia >> who's applying for a patio extension Mhm. >> Okay. I just asked her if this is the first time that they apply for a patio extension. She said yes. Um Um,
>> okay. And I just asked her if she has any questions of this about this application. Um, the only question she has is the hours that she's allowed to actually use this patio space, but in terms of the regulations that she's been reading them and she's up to date with
it. Commissioner Lar. >> Yes. That was going to be one of my questions. Yeah, I was uh >> I know the St. You think the festival? Okay. No. No. No.
Okay. So, um, she's just reviewing that with the permit they have, um, their hours are Sunday to Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. And then Fridays, Friday evenings are the only evening they have from 8:00 a.m. till 3:00 a.m.
>> Yeah, like I said, I I I have no objections to that. My issue would be that if it gets too loud at that time in the morning, it's going to affect the people that say Alfields, they will complain. So I would just say keep it under control and if they people say
they don't feel complain then we'll have to address it. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I'm not I'm not talking about music. I'm talking about people sitting there getting too loud eating and joking around or fighting, you know.
>> Okay. Good. She got it. >> Um, Lieutenant >> Levieri, >> so I have the same concerns as Commissioner >> Leard >> as far as L noise, the the elderly building across the street. So, as long as you guys maintain your order and
