Um, do you have any other questions you'd like to ask? >> I'm all set. No more questions for me. >> Okay, so I'd entertain a motion for

51
00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:58.720
items four and five. trying to speed it along here >> and I can make a motion to approve. >> All right. So, I' I' I'd uh second that motion to approve item number four for the 11 one-day uh molten wine licenses as well as item number five for an

58
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:58.320
and expected attendance is 20 to 30. So, state your full name for the record, your address, and tell us a little bit about the 135 entertainment licenses you would like. >> My name is Jose Vita Zarazzo, and I live at 25 Harris Street, River, Massachusetts.

59
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:12.000
So, for the workout series, I'm uh partnering up with local gyms in the city of River in order to provide people in the area, especially in Shirley Avenue where it's super highly dense. People don't have access to backyards

60
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:30.240
and uh people tend to um not not to have access to outdoors or think it's hard to get some exercise in them daily. So, I wanted to be able to provide something that was free and open to the community. And yeah, been able to align with all of

61
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:46.160
the participating gyms to do something every day of the week. So that's about it. >> Um, and can you just go into a little bit? Obviously, the entertainment is going to be the fitness and the workout, but is there anything outside of that amplified

62
00:16:46.160 --> 00:17:01.040
music or anything like that that you intend to utilize? >> No, besides that, no. There's just for like extra equipment would just be yoga mats because yoga would be one of the classes and stretching. I'm also partnering with the local restaurants and cafes and bakeries in the area just

63
00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:17.600
so after our Saturday classes we can all walk together to visit one of the places and each of them are going to be offering some sort of healthy meal, some sort of promotion or discount to also incentivize people to become new customers as well. >> What about donuts? You going to have donuts after they work out? I don't know if there's donuts in the area, but I

64
00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:33.679
mean some I'm into donuts after workout sometimes. It depends on the area. >> Those two go together, right? Fitness and donuts right now. >> All right. Um, >> do you have any questions? >> No, I think it's it's great. It's a positive community event. Um, one thing

65
00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:49.200
is that I would like I didn't see it anywhere in your notes. Um, how are you going to uh take care of uh cleaning out after each session? Like water bottles or just make sure that you know that's been taken care of after each session. >> Yeah. So, I know there's already the

66
00:17:49.200 --> 00:18:04.880
trash bins in the area. So, I'm hoping to already have people do that on their own and also um partnering with some of the other businesses that don't serve food. They actually want to um donate a reusable water bottle so people can take and then that's something that becomes

67
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:19.840
more current and it gets people it's more to educate people on on better betterness for the environment and then also for for themselves. >> Okay. So just that to make sure that you know it's cleaned out after every event.

68
00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:38.480
Other than that no questions for me questions. >> I'll close this section. Is anyone in favor of this application? Uh >> ward counselor Ira >> good afternoon commissioners Ira novaski 53 dehone street w 2 counselor and

69
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:54.080

70
00:18:54.080 --> 00:19:10.720
neighbors about the loudness of the music that's been um >> with this particular event that's been >> not this any event down in Stanley Square. >> I see. >> You know, from last year there's some new people in the neighborhood and and they took offense to the loudness of the

71
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:26.320
music and they actually did a decibel count and it came up to 81. >> Oh wow. >> decibb which I know our limit is 70, >> right? >> So um you know I've spoken to Hosu about it and I've spoken to the people down at Chucki about it you know. So for their

72
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:43.360
events that are going to be coming up >> that they have to keep the music down. >> What about how do you feel about the Saturday at 9:30 a.m.? >> I don't mind that. >> You think that would be a problem? >> Yeah, I don't mind that. Okay. >> Yeah. You know, I have no problem with the, you know, the events, the time, you know, the only problem I have was the

73
00:19:43.360 --> 00:20:00.000
music. And as far as the cleanup is concerned, uh they uh they usually make arrangements public works usually come up with father bags on uh either that day if they have somebody on board or they'll pick it up Monday morning. >> So we've had good luck with the DPW on

74
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:15.360
that. They've been very good about it. >> Perfect. >> So just make you aware of what's going on with that. >> But you're not opposed, right? >> No, not at all. >> Just want the record. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> All right. Is anyone else uh opposed?

75
00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:31.679
Anyone else opposed or would like to speak on behalf of us issuing these licenses? Okay. So, I'll close those sections. Um obviously, you heard the council at large, right? So, you want to make sure that you uh be mindful of the the music

76
00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:47.760
um decimal volume um so that it's not disturbing your neighbors. Uh but if do you have any further discussion? >> No more. >> Okay. Cool. So, uh, I would certainly entertain a motion regarding this particular license.

77
00:20:47.760 --> 00:21:04.960
>> I can make a motion to approve. >> So, I'd motion I'd second that motion, uh, to approve the application of Jose Vidas Arazzo. um 135 1-day entertainment licenses uh to be exercised in Sandler Square on

78
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:21.280
various dates starting from May to September and the various times listed on the application on Fridays and Saturdays. Um there's two different times on Saturdays and uh expected attendance is anywhere between 20 to 30. Okay, so that application is approved.

79
00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:38.320
Good luck to you. All right, you just stay right there. All right. Uh we're going to move right along to item number seven on the list. >> Um the application is again of Jose uh Vidus Arazzo. It's an application for three one-day malt/wine

80
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:54.720
common vicular entertainment licenses. And these licenses uh are for the World Cup soccer viewing events. The first event will be held on Friday, June 19th, 2026, uh 12:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will take

81
00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:10.240
place on Shirley Avenue between Walnut Street and Northshore Road, which will be closed off. Um the second and third event will take place on Tuesday, July 14th and July 15th from 12:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. Expected attendance on June 14th is

82
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:27.520
approximately 2400 people. Okay. and the one in July is expected about 1,200 people. So, uh, again, state your full name for the record. Um, and exactly what your plans are for this license. Jose Vita

83
00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:43.280
Zarazzo 25 Harris River, Massachusetts. So, I'm the program manager as well for the Shirley FCIA. We had a pilot one back in August. It was from North Shore Road up to or Square. uh the city uh has actually asked me to partner up with

84
00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:58.880
them in their field of play world cup viewing parties. So for the June 19th day we've been working with this uh urban landscaping firm and uh the goal is to at least close more of the street this time use the Monapio a lot as well

85
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:14.080
and the games that day I believe it's Australia, United States, Morocco, Scotland and then uh Haiti, Brazil. So, as you guys probably know, with certain nationalities, they get very excited about their teams. They take on the streets. So, this is more so to plan for

86
00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:30.080
that. I have something that's uh already set in place just to avoid any um any issues. And then also as well, they u have asked me to partner up with them for the uh semi- finale. So, it's the July 14th and July 15th date, but that

87
00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:46.880
would only just be in the Monapola. But the number uh the two numbers given for those is just like the max number of people that can actually fit the space the calculation for it. >> Where did you get that that calculation from? >> Uh that was from the agency that was the

88
00:23:46.880 --> 00:24:01.919
uh the urban planning firm that came up with the that number. >> Did you confer at all with uh River Fire Department or >> uh do you want >> Yes. Um so my name is Taylor Juprey Catalano 281 Broadway. Um, I work for

89
00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:18.320
the city and the mayor's office. Um, we have a public safety meeting that I will be heading up tomorrow um to go over. We have a few additional dates and times for these events. Um, just to ensure, you know, I've hosted a couple of events before to ensure that road closures are in place to ensure that we have

90
00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:35.120
necessary police detail staffing um, and barricades for not only just the larger space, um, but also for the beer garden space that we'll have the alcohol in. Um, in addition, uh, just to ensure that the fire department is on board for food trucks and, you know, additional things

91
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:50.480
of that nature. >> DPW. >> Yeah, DPW. Um, especially for the barricades, cleanup of the area. Um, >> and who's paying for all that stuff? Like who's in a >> um, so there is collaboration between the city and between um, Jose and

92
00:24:50.480 --> 00:25:07.520
Clovia. Um, where the field of play events are like they're soccer oriented. It's healthyminded oriented events. Um that's where Civia comes in for this. >> One of my main primary concerns uh is the the midweek uh games the games you

93
00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:24.880
know obviously the the June 19th date to Friday. >> Um but you do have some dates here on a Tuesday and a Wednesday >> and with 1,200 people >> expected. >> Yeah. So they don't incorporate a road closure for those days and times. Um the

94
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:41.840
games for those days start at 2 or 3:00 p.m. Um so they're during working hours and I think primarily the the hope is that um especially like students, youth would be the attendees of those events. Um we are applying for the license just to have broad coverage. Um but the

95
00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:58.080
anticipation is they won't be spilling out of the lot or you know there won't be really that high volume of attendees and if there is a high volume or um you know a nationality that is well represented in river is you know in one of those matches that we would

96
00:25:58.080 --> 00:26:16.559
reconsider our plans for those. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Something that um I would like to hear from you guys is uh what method are you guys using to ensure that the beverages are going to be served within a designated area?

97
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:33.600
>> Yeah. So, uh the restaurant abuing the municipal lot is Balso. So, they've already done ex uh stuff for the World Cup in the past as well. Correct. Right. >> I'm not Yeah, >> I I think for the Yeah, the one four years ago they've they already hosted something already. So they I know they

98
00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:47.440
already have experience and it just makes sense to to use them since they're next to the to that lot. But there will be I don't know there already will be people checking IDs and everything of the sort. Um making sure that no miners

99
00:26:47.440 --> 00:27:07.760
are going in. Yes. Wristbands. >> Okay. Um just got a text about that. Um okay. And do you have any other questions? Are you good with that? >> No. I'm good. >> Okay. Um, so I'll close that section. Um, is anyone uh in favor or speaking on

100
00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:24.960
behalf of this event and the issuance of this license? >> Again, I Noki, 53 Dhon Street, Y2 counselor. Um, I've been involved in u the makeup of this these events and I know we like it Hu said that uh four

101
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:40.320
years ago we had a viewing party in the municipal lot and there had to be five 600 people there at least just in the lot itself and the street was not closed off. Uh so um it worked out very well. Everybody had a good time. I know some

102
00:27:40.320 --> 00:27:55.520
of the times are not the greatest, but I know they've been in touch with the local business people and touch base with them and nobody's had any objections to it. And usually on Friday afternoon, Shirley A is pretty quiet >> as far as activity. There's usually a

103
00:27:55.520 --> 00:28:10.880
lot of parking around there. So, if they had to close the street that afternoon into the night, uh I don't believe there would be a a big problem on that. So, I know police have been involved and fire is checking everything out and u I we

104
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:25.520
just have no problem just looking for everybody to have a good time safely. So, thank you. >> Actually, I do have a question. Um any idea on how many volunteers or staff members working that day? Like the day

105
00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:41.760
where we're expecting 2,400 seems like a lot. So, just want to make sure that >> um Absolutely. I know. Um, I don't have the exact number for that day quite yet just because I haven't like completed all the calculations for it. I can say in the past when we have hosted events

106
00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:57.840
of a similar scale that I believe we had um, and correct me if I'm wrong, minimum like six police detail, two fire detail um, and then no less than 10 general city staff, probably about 10 DPW staff.

107
00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:14.640
But again, I don't have the exact numbers. I don't want to make, you know. >> Okay. >> How about um the day there's going to be a DJ, >> a particular date, correct? A couple of dates. Do you have a time for that DJ to shut off? >> Um probably by So before that last game,

108
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:30.159
the uh which is the Brazil Haiti game. I think it's at 9:00 p.m. It' be right right by then. And then also the vendors as well would stop selling by 9:00 p.m. as well, but the viewing would still continue. Okay.

109
00:29:30.159 --> 00:29:48.720
because that's very important. 9:00 p.m. later on and >> yeah, >> people start complaining. >> Absolutely. >> So, all right. Um, is there any anyone else that would like to speak on behalf of this license or against? >> Good afternoon, Captain Mark Wolf Gang,

110
00:29:48.720 --> 00:30:05.279
Reia 400 Broadway. Uh, we just had a just a few items that we just wanted to uh cover in regards to this event. Uh I'd just like to start by saying uh the fire department is in favor of this. >> Okay. >> Uh and uh we look forward to being a part of uh of these World Cup

111
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:22.000
celebrations this summer. Uh just a few things. The uh food trucks that are going to be there on all three dates. Uh they're going to need to be inspected by our office of fire prevention prior to uh at least a week prior to the event. Uh and we can work that out. Uh we're

112
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:37.360
going to have public safety meetings as mentioned beginning tomorrow. So, uh, we'll work out the details on that. Also, that any cooking there is in the food trucks only, that there's no cooking on the site, uh, other than a truck, uh, you know, under a tent or

113
00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:52.159
anything like that. If there are any tented structures, we're going to need flame proof certificates, uh, at least, uh, a week prior for that as well. And we just want to make sure the ingress and egress uh, to the Valos building is

114
00:30:52.159 --> 00:31:08.240
is kept clear at all times. So if there is a line to get into valos that we're not blocking the doorway and that the uh exterior alcohol serving area again that the ingress and egress is kept clear and uh all the other details I'm sure will

115
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:23.600
work out in the next uh in the next month or so at our meeting. So that's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Anyone else who'd like to speak either on behalf of this license or against? >> Sure. So, uh, Joe Graalisi, Department of Planning and Community Development

116
00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:40.480
here in City Hall. Uh, so a few quick items, you know, in terms of why our office is really supportive of and involved in these World Cup viewings and, uh, we'll be likely back in front of you next month to look at some other locations and games as well. Um, you know, first off, there is, as has been mentioned, you know, trying to create an

117
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:56.640
opportunity for people to congregate safely. I think those of you who remember the previous World Cups, you know, all the way back to 2002 and 2006 and, you know, going forward, whoever wins, whether it's Brazil or Italy or anyone, there's always celebrations, right? And people are out in the streets, they're watching, they're at

118
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:13.840
the bars, they're at the beach. And what we want to do is give people a venue to do so safely, you know, where it's controlled, where police and fire are at the table and part of it rather than being reactive and saying, "Okay, this is where the big celebration's happening and we have to divert, you know, resources there." Um, so that's one big

119
00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:31.519
piece of it. Uh a second big piece of it is we anticipate uh our hotels just like every other hotel every other city with hotels in the area is going to have a lot of tourists and visitors come into town because the World Cup, you know, being in the US and games happening in Foxboro. Uh and we'd like to tap into

120
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:46.399
some of that and have folks come and support our local businesses and be part of the celebration here in the community. Um and third as well, you know, we want to give a boost to our local businesses. You know, this is a chance to bring people to our commercial corridors to give our food trucks and vendors a chance to spotlight

121
00:32:46.399 --> 00:33:02.559
themselves. You know, Valso is on Shirley A and other businesses in the community that want to participate uh and allow them to feel that economic boost, you know, from people going out to celebrate the World Cup. So, from an economic development standpoint, you know, we really support uh these events.

122
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:18.880
And I think if we can do something that is conducive to public safety and to economic development together, uh, that's really best case scenario. So, we're fully supportive of and look forward to working with Jose and the mayor's office and public safety to make this be a great success. Thank you.

123
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:36.399
>> All right. Thank you so much. Um, I'll close this section. Is anyone opposed? Anyone opposed to the issuance of um, these licenses? Anyone opposed? >> Okay. Seeing and hearing none, I'd close

124
00:33:36.399 --> 00:33:52.080
this section. Um, do you have any uh thing you'd like to add or further discussion? >> No, I just think it's a great community event. Um, takes a lot of work, time, um, and coordination. So,

125
00:33:52.080 --> 00:34:07.760
congratulations. Um, and I want to make a motion to approve. >> All right. I second that motion. All right. So the uh the motion uh the application for three one-day malt uh and wine common vicular entertainment

126
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:29.839
license uh to be exercised on June 19th uh July 14th and July 15th is hereby approved. >> Thank you. Good luck. >> All right. Um the next item on the list is uh Lumia

127
00:34:29.839 --> 00:34:46.639
Lounge uh item number eight uh 63 River Beach Boulevard and this is an application for alteration of premises outdoor seating only uh to be exercised at 63 Ver Beach

128
00:34:46.639 --> 00:35:04.000
Boulevard And uh who do we have here for Lumia Lounge? >> Uh good evening uh commissioners. My name is Nancy O'Neal. I am an attorney located at 14 Proctor Avenue and I represent uh the Lumina Lounge located at 63 River Beach Boulevard and I am

129
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:19.520
joined here this afternoon uh by Mr. Diego Presiato and Mr. Omar Presiato of the Lumina Lounge. Uh our proposal here tonight is for outdoor dining um at the Lumina Lounge um which would include 13 tables uh on the patio behind the

130
00:35:19.520 --> 00:35:34.720
restaurant and feature 53 seats. Uh we had originally submitted plans that feature two tables on the sidewalk, but after consultation with DCR, uh we are no longer pursuing those tables. So our proposal uh pertains uh primarily to the

131
00:35:34.720 --> 00:35:52.079
or totally to the back patio. Uh we are requesting alcohol service for those tables as well. A speaker for ambient music and a television for entertainment purposes such as sports games. Uh and those speakers and television would be turned off uh 10. Uh, so our proposed

132
00:35:52.079 --> 00:36:07.440
hours here for the outdoor dining would be 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Uh, last seating around 10:00 p.m. Um, the entertainment turn off at 10:00 p.m. Uh, so this would accommodate breakfast, lunch, uh, and dinner service at the business, but there's no live

133
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:22.720
entertainment acts or dancing planned for the outdoor dining area. It would just be uh for restaurant service. >> Question. Uh, did you say you're no longer pursuing the eight seats in the front? >> Yes. So, I have the updated plan here that was submitted this morning. I can uh if I may, I

134
00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:43.200
>> Yeah, I'd like to take a look at that. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> And if you if when you get back to the mic, would you be able to summarize your again your conversation with DCR? So, I understand from DCR that uh for

135
00:36:43.200 --> 00:37:00.800
2026 uh they're not uh their policy is not to issue licenses for um sidewalk dining. >> That's just on River Beach. Correct. >> That one's coming. Okay. So, this is just for the patio. >> That's correct.

136
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:18.560
>> Okay. Um did you have anything else to add or was >> anything else? You're good. Okay. Uh any questions for this application? >> All right. I'll close that section. Anyone in favor of us uh issuing um the license or approval for this

137
00:37:18.560 --> 00:37:34.560
application? >> Thank you, Commissioner. Zonovaski, 53 Deon Street. Um I'm a W two council, but this is not in my ward. This section of uh the beach is ward one. Uh but I know the building itself and I believe that the outdoor seating is going to be on

138
00:37:34.560 --> 00:37:49.920
their own private property and uh it's the same as what was there in the previous business. They had their outdoor seating in that that area. So um again, you know, I just watch them even before the 10:30 limit that they watch the sound because there's an apartment

139
00:37:49.920 --> 00:38:05.680
house right next door to them. So that's all I have and to be in favor of it. Thank you. Okay. >> All right. Anyone else in favor of the issuance of this license? >> Good afternoon, Deputy Chver from uh 400

140
00:38:05.680 --> 00:38:21.760
Broadway. Um just want to speak on behalf of the owner. He's he did a good job at doing this building over. I went down did inspection, had a list for him. He achieved everything that I asked for of him to make the changes. He's got sprinkler heads out on that back deck

141
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:38.000
where he's going to be using. That was set up last year, but he never even went to use it at that point. and I never had an issue with him trying to use it. He he fal followed what his um his license was allowing him to do. So, I'm in favor of him being able to use this deck. Uh I

142
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:56.079
do have one comment I want to make. I was not aware because I'm too busy looking up at sprinkler heads when I'm walking these properties. Um he does have a hatchway to um that comes out of the floor that allows him to um lower equipment into the basement. Um, I need

143
00:38:56.079 --> 00:39:13.520
need him to buy a OSHA regulated three-sided uh protection for that hatchway. I went and looked it up afterwards just after my last inspection to check his railings and so forth to see what was actually required. He has some cones and and uh that he's using right now, but if he's going to open

144
00:39:13.520 --> 00:39:28.480
that and and leave that open in the floor while he's moving things in and out, he needs to get the proper protection um for that um access point. Thank you. >> Okay. >> All right. Did you take note of that?

145
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:44.160
What? Uh, okay. All right. I'm going to close this section. Um, is anyone opposed? Anyone opposed to us issuing uh permission for them to have uh 53 seats on their rear patio? Anyone

146
00:39:44.160 --> 00:39:59.119
opposed? Anyone opposed? Okay. Hearing none, I'll close that section. Would you like uh to have further discussion or would you want to make a motion? I would like to make a motion to approve. >> All right. And I would second that motion. So that motion carries. Um the

147
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:18.240
application of Lumia Lounge um for the alteration of premises for outdoor seating only requested uh 53 seats on their rear patio to be exercised uh on Sunday and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 10 p.m.

148
00:40:18.240 --> 00:40:36.400
And the requested uh well >> Sunday through a question I just realized too. So >> is there an application for entertainment as well? >> Maggie is all part of >> speakers. >> Yeah. >> I see. Okay. Um and the requested

149
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:53.119
outdoor entertainment is speakers in the front still. >> Okay. So we're going to do uh speakers and TV in the rear patio. Correct. All right. So that motion is carried. >> Good luck. >> Congratulations.

150
00:40:53.119 --> 00:41:08.480
So, I'm going to go slightly out of order. Um, I'm going to move to item number 10, which is the hearing. I think that we can address that a little quicker than item number nine. So, let's just move forward to the hearings on um

151
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:25.520
item number 10, Atlantic Auto Body Incorporated. Um this is a hearing into violations of fire and building safety code, failure to maintain sufficient facilities for a number of cars on license. This is a continued meeting from our March uh

152
00:41:25.520 --> 00:41:45.440
meeting. So is there a representative from Atlantic Autobati? Okay, not seeing anyone. I'm going to put that on for a second call. and give them an opportunity to come.

153
00:41:45.440 --> 00:42:01.359
And uh so I'll close that. Uh moving on to item number 11, which is Good Time Sports Club LLC doing business as Fusion Sports Lounge uh 270 Broadway Suite 7. Uh the manager is Tony Portillo. This is

154
00:42:01.359 --> 00:42:18.079

157
00:42:58.319 --> 00:43:14.400
told me there was a space of 270 um Broadway available that was used for something similar um called Juventus Club was like a um private club, semi-private club. Uh I came to look at it and I you know I was looking for a

158
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:30.560

160
00:43:46.560 --> 00:44:02.319
if you want me to ask? So the first time was $1,200 for what we agreed, but then um so I came again on Tuesday to meet with the different departments. They suggest some changes which I had to hire the architect again to make another changes. >> How much was that second?

161
00:44:02.319 --> 00:44:19.839
>> Uh was like just almost $500. So $498. >> Um so he made the changes. I resubmitted to um the online portal. I came back and they say, "Yeah, u we approve it with some um you know some things that I had to do like the cat permits and all this

162
00:44:19.839 --> 00:44:34.480
stuff." >> Um then I start moving to do some work. It's not a lot of work that need to be done. So I hire a contractor to uh submit the application which is will be uh general contractor. >> How much would you say you put in for

163
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:50.800
the general contract? Well, so he don't um he submit the application, but mainly all we have to do there is we have to remove a kitchen uh uh stove. We have to um put sink, one sink on the bar, they told me. But then when Mike went there,

164
00:44:50.800 --> 00:45:07.200
he told me, "No, you need five sinks. You need two uh two sinks inside the bar." >> You didn't go into that much detail, but roughly, so you did some renovations. How much roughly did you spend? >> I mean, right now I'm up to 27 something that um >> What does that mean? 27. 27,000 26,000

165
00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:21.760
something >> 26,000 roughly >> um and then it came to my attention like couple like a week and a half ago that some people would oppose if Mario wife is one of them. Um and I wish this

166
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:37.839
issues come up before I start investing all this money in the >> deposit and uh security for the space. >> No, I just paid the rent. >> How much is the rent? uh was what was supposed to be 1,500 but he told me it was a th00 I start using and he don't

167
00:45:37.839 --> 00:45:52.880
took the last month so I still have to pay last month rent because he asked me I guess he was concerned so um and then some people oppos I heard some people opposed it because they think it's a nightclub and what I was looking for was

168
00:45:52.880 --> 00:46:08.560
not a nightclub I never drink liquor I'm not that kind of guy I don't even go to places where they have loud music I'm more like you know I want to place to watch a sports when you have the audio uh or the TVs on and that's what I was looking that was the perfect spot on the

169
00:46:08.560 --> 00:46:25.599
second floor you know but um I think some people misunderstood the message that I put DJ and the only reason that I put DJ on the application because I I understand that when you have a microphone that's considered live entertainment you need a um the live

170
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:44.560
entertainment license in order to use a microphone so let's say you have a birthday party and you want to use a microphone, you can't use if you don't have a that DJ um a permit, right? >> So, I mean,

171
00:46:44.560 --> 00:47:01.280
we we're not we're not obviously here to give advice in terms of that, but so that was your assumption that you needed to put DJ on there because you um intended to have a microphone. >> Yeah, I'm not looking to put a DJ there. I mean that's no immediate and >> so this is nowhere close to being a

172
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:16.000
nightclub. >> Not at all. Not at all. >> Okay. Um Okay. So before we move on to other sections, the reason why I'm asking a lot about the financials because I was reviewing your application for the alcohol and it seems like the you you

173
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:32.240
noted that the the cash uh contribution and uh expenditures on the for for you to open up was only 1,500. >> Yeah. Because that was the beginning when they told me I only need one sink. But with the plumbing and um the pool

174
00:47:32.240 --> 00:47:48.960
department when they changed the whole thing now,000 that's a big difference. >> Yeah. Because now you have to do plumbing all the way down for the basement because for the mop sink for example, you need different drains um for the dump. Um so in the bar what I

175
00:47:48.960 --> 00:48:05.599
propose with just one small sink inside the bar. Now they want two uh sinks inside the bar and three sinks outside. So that changed, >> right? But the the particulars of the renovations is not really our concern. My main concern is obviously making sure that you're accurately the reporting

176
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:22.240
what you're what you're putting out for cash and you know putting $1,500 on an application versus spending close to $30,000 >> and I think >> so that that's one issue that uh I see here. Um but does my fellow commission

177
00:48:22.240 --> 00:48:38.640
have any uh >> why do you think that um it'll be more Because I think when um so right now um Mike Welsh went there with the food department and they the ones that suggest and I think they're right. I think you need um two different sinks in

178
00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:53.520
the bar and three on the other side. I understand why. Um but now the um building department I don't know you know when you touch like all the build building sometime you go and think you're going to invest that $1,000 and

179
00:48:53.520 --> 00:49:09.920
that end up being a large investment and I you know what I was looking for is to do it right not to you know cut any corners just do whatever the building department the fire department and the food department want it's no food so I don't apply for any food permit but

180
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:25.440
that's what Mike want u because he's saying if he's a Uh that's what you need for sinks and that's a large investment. >> You don't have inspection approval yet? >> No, not yet. No, because I stopped investing any money till we met and um you know see what's going to happen

181
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:42.079
moving forward because I do have a lot of respect for Mr. Marvin and I don't want to go against what he wants in the building. So in the end of the day, you know, I >> the gentleman you keep referring to is that the landlord? >> That the landlord. >> I see. Is this is this your first uh v venture uh attempting to open up a

182
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:57.599
sports bar? Is this the first time you're doing this? >> No, I um for 11 years I had one in East Boston and then I moved to uh EPA. I was there for 12 years. Um some people saying there was issues there where I went to a police department and I was

183
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:11.839
kind of trying to get 12 years um records but they can only go back five years. So I was able to get last five years. I closed on December uh 31 24. So I got five years going back from

184
00:50:11.839 --> 00:50:28.400
December 3 uh 1st 24th and as you see no issues at all but um >> but when you say that some people say that you've had some issues. Are you saying that people are saying you had issues but you didn't in fact have issues? I just want to make sure we're clear. >> Yeah. Um, you know, I I think my staff

185
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:43.359
and I did a really good job selling liquid responsible and that you um you will achieve that training people, you know, like doing the right thing and I think, you know, >> I mean, but but Mr. Vertillo, my my issue is here that, you know, you say

186
00:50:43.359 --> 00:50:58.559
that I mean, I have I have a pretty extensive file here from the city of Ever that shows multiple violations, multiple issues stemming from 2018 and 2023. I've see a last chance agreement that you've signed that uh regarding

187
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:14.079
operation. In fact, I think there's record here that your license was either revoked or threatened to be revoked at one point. >> I mean, if you want to go there, so this is what happened, right? I kind of told you the whole um history. >> What do you mean if I want to go there? That that's why we're here. This is why we're here. This is what happened.

188
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:29.280
>> It's perfect. So, this is what happened. Um so the guy in charge did um was um um the guy the owner the brother the DTA. So one day he was doing the snow at the city. He came in that's where everything

189
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:45.359
started. So he came into my place uh 6 minutes before 1 and we had like 24 people employed in uh in the business. So he came in and um you know I know him from before and he came and say Tony what the you doing here that like

190
00:51:45.359 --> 00:52:01.920
that. So my son was there, he was a football player. Seeing that, you know, almost at one:00, somebody come and talk to your dad like that, he step up and say, "Hey, will you talk to my dad like that?" >> And listen, Tony, uh, >> but he never went. So if you see, he tried to um revoke the license, but we

191
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:18.480
never won because he never had any um proof that what he was saying. The police report always say um against what if you see the police report that particular day he the police he called the police the police came and did a report and you can see there they say no

192
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:34.480
just employees with no even going custom at one:00 so he went against so even though he called me from the board he was not able to do anything because the police report saying something different to what he was saying >> well but see the reason so and with all

193
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:52.319
due respect Mr. over to you. >> I really would like an opportunity to drive this so that we can give the folks that are here to probably possibly make a comment on the record an opportunity to to say their piece. Um, we're not here to to to reopen u or to to hear

194
00:52:52.319 --> 00:53:09.839
more testimony about what happened in Ever. Okay. >> I'd like for you to generally state on the record, you know, to put into context some of the issues that came before this commission um regarding a variety of issues such as, you know,

195
00:53:09.839 --> 00:53:26.000
illegal alcohol sourcing, meaning you're buying alcohol from places that you're not supposed to buy alcohol from. violating operational restrictions that was in place, overcrowdingness, blocking exits, u uh you know, ABC had a prior

196
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:41.119
violation obviously because the unauthorized uh purchase of alcohol from different places. I mean, there's a there's a host of there's a host of of issues with your prior establishment that I don't necessarily want you to get into each and every single one because

197
00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:56.160
that's not why we're here. I would like for you to tell this commission um what led to those issues, what you've done since then and why would this place be different?

198
00:53:56.160 --> 00:54:12.319
>> But I wanted um clarify that ABC so the ABCC was called by the licensing board in the city of they came to investigate. They don't even find one bottle that was purchased somewhere else. You can see in the report that they um a woman and a guy came went through the whole closet.

199
00:54:12.319 --> 00:54:28.079
Oh, somebody called us that you were buying liquor. They find you can see that fine. No, nothing there in the pro premises that was purchased somewhere else. >> Okay. But you never got your license revoked back then. >> No, never. Once they came, they sent me

200
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:45.520
a letter. Yeah. Nothing was you know that was nothing wrong done. So, so like I said, if you can give me an idea of, you know, given the amount of issues that you've had uh in the past, you know, what you intend to do

201
00:54:45.520 --> 00:55:01.920
this time, if this license is in fact granted, what will be different in how you ran your last business versus how you plan to run your business this time? Because there again, there's a list of issues here that I'm seeing from the city of Everett. So one reason why I

202
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:16.960
left ever it was not that the city shut me down. I just say you know I don't want to put up with this anymore because we don't see eye to eye with the guy in charge of the board. Couple times he called me and thus he lost my respect that day. So I say I just got to

203
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:33.040
move on to something different. Um I was not going to thinking to open another place but I was looking in the city to try to find a place to be will go watch a sports and I don't think there's anything that put the audio um you know and the TVs on most of the places they

204
00:55:33.040 --> 00:55:48.640
have music when they have have the games going on on TVs so this is different this is have nothing to do with I was you know this was place for like 400 something people don't want that anymore I want something with that me and my friends can go watch it or anybody can

205
00:55:48.640 --> 00:56:04.559
come to watch this because 95% will be the audio on the TVs on the speaker. I even just put one speaker here. Um and so it will be night and day. It's not nothing to like winners used to be.

206
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:25.520
>> So what was the capacity on the other place you had? >> It was like 280 one floor and 170 in the other one. >> And this one is what? >> 50. >> This was like 508. questions. All right. Um, I'm going to close this section of the uh hearing.

207
00:56:25.520 --> 00:56:42.640
I'd like to open up the meeting to anyone that is in favor in favor of us issuing this license. In favor of us issuing this license. Seeing none, I'd close this section. I'd like to open up this section for anyone that is opposed or opponents of this. You guys start

208
00:56:42.640 --> 00:56:59.359
lining up in the back if if there's uh if there's people opposed. Deputy Chief of Florida for Broadway. Um, I'd like to ask the applicant a question to the chair if I could. Um, he said he spent about $30,000. Is that include the installation of the sinks and the what

209
00:56:59.359 --> 00:57:14.000
that? >> Okay. So, I just had my office check the property and the only applicant only permit application that's in the system is still the building permit. There's no gas permit. There's no plumbing permit. There's no electrical permit. So, and

210
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:30.160
the and the building permit is right now rejected and requires resubmitt. >> So, any work that's been done in this building where we spent $30,000 has been done without permits. >> And let me ask a question. Um, if if that is in fact the case, would would

211
00:57:30.160 --> 00:57:46.319
would would the requirement be for them to remove it, apply for the permit, then put it back in? >> It it depends. I'll defer that to ISD when they go in do their inspection. If the work is done properly, sometimes they'll make them partially take it out, but if there's a lot of questions about

212
00:57:46.319 --> 00:58:02.720
the work, it's hidden, they'll open it all back up and take it out. >> So, there might be a bigger issue here there with that. >> Correct. Okay. Um, so let's stay with that. So, right now, um, my recollection of the site plan review process and what happened during site

213
00:58:02.720 --> 00:58:20.160
plan review is the applicant came to site plan review with his plans for a sports club. um at the uh at the reference address. Um as as as typical the site um uh planner Frank Stringy

214
00:58:20.160 --> 00:58:36.079
gave him a detailed letter with many items. It's quite it's quite detailed many items that he need to meet to come back to site plan. Sometimes we can move someone on from site a little tangent but sometimes we can move someone on from site plan but when there's a lot of missing information we'll make them come

215
00:58:36.079 --> 00:58:52.559
back to site plan with those edits to the plans. um he had a detailed email from Frank with all those items that he needed to address. He came back only partially addressing those items. So when he says he had to go back and get the plans changed again, it's because he didn't

216
00:58:52.559 --> 00:59:08.160
address all the items in the site plan review letter. And for the record, I am a member of site plan review. So I'm I'm witness to these conversations. So this isn't secondhand. Um he then had to go back and make additional changes including removing the stove and and those type of things. We still didn't

217
00:59:08.160 --> 00:59:23.359
have an occupancy count. We're looking for the occupancy count. So now we get the occupancy count which is in excess of 50. And when so when he talks about a nightclub, it's how you read the building code. The building code shouldn't refer to it as a nightclub,

218
00:59:23.359 --> 00:59:39.440
but that's the term it uses. That's the definition it uses. When you have an oxy greater than 50 and you have nighttime hours and you're no longer serving food, which is disestablished as not, you are classified as a nightclub type establishment, which means now once

219
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:54.960
you're once you're over an occupancy of 50, it brings in the sprinkler code. So once I got the occupancy class count for the fall the space, we put the additional requirement onto the space to require a sprinkler system. Um

220
00:59:54.960 --> 01:00:13.760
I I hate to admit that I am not intimately familiar with this building. I've been in here a couple of times years ago for alarms, but I have not been in this building for inspections. Uh part of the requirements of that site plan review letter was for him to also show his two means of egress paths. Um

221
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:30.640
he's he showed the one means of egress path um that is towards Reservoir A and he shows a common hallway, but we never get a documentation of the secondary means of egress. So before anything was going to be issued, I was going to contact him for an inspection to walk

222
01:00:30.640 --> 01:00:44.640
walk the property and look at these means of egresses. I now understand there's some communications that that second means of egress is kind of through that home that's on the side of the building out onto a deck area that

223
01:00:44.640 --> 01:01:01.520
is in fairly poor condition. So if that's the primary entrance and mean of egress from this space, we have some other issues that need to be addressed in terms of the conditions of the egress. Um I think that's a pretty good summary for now for where we stand with

224
01:01:01.520 --> 01:01:16.240
uh the permitting and approval of this process. >> So he would need a sprinkler system. >> In my opinion, he he can go do a chapter 34 review, hire professionals to go through the building and and make that determination. But my determination in in consultation with the building

225
01:01:16.240 --> 01:01:35.280
commissioner was that this meets the the threshold for a sprinkler system. Um also and my comments are to submit what's there for a fire alarm system? I have not even received that yet. >> Okay. Thank you. Uh is anyone else um opposed

226
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:52.720
to the issuance of this license? >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members. Paul Arenzio, 245 Reservoir Avenue. I'm the Wad 4 city councelor. Um, when this was first proposed, uh, the neighbors had heard about it and unfortunately the central business district and the

227
01:01:52.720 --> 01:02:08.079
neighborhood abut each other. So, uh, Mr. Chver just mentioned means of egress. That's on Reservoir Avenue. That's a residential area. So, the neighbors are very concerned between 11 and 2:00 a.m. what's going to be happening coming in and out on a

228
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:23.520
residential street. Second of all, when he did appear before site plan review, uh he mentions the Jventus Club. That was a private club. He presented in front of Site Plan Review as a private club. So, the

229
01:02:23.520 --> 01:02:40.079
Juventus Club didn't have a liquor license. It was just a few older gentlemen that were there for like 35 years. um obviously asking for 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. uh entertainment, widescreen TVs, DJ

230
01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:56.960
amplifiers um in his narrative about the club. Uh, it's kind of it's the Fusion Sports Lounge, cultural programming, sports entertainment, social connection,

231
01:02:56.960 --> 01:03:14.960
rotating themed events, music experiences, celebrations that promote pride, identity, and unity, uh, scheduled viewing experiences for major sporting events, centralized gathering space for fans of local and international teams,

232
01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:30.400
premium viewing environments that enhance engagement and excitement, So, obviously this isn't a private club. It's it's a it's a full full-fledged nightclub. And being a nightclub, when you say you're going to do a private

233
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:46.720
club, zoning is different. This area is not handicapped accessible, no matter how you get to it, you have to go up a flight of stairs. Um, it doesn't mention in the plan any bathrooms or restrooms. There are none for the club. They're

234
01:03:46.720 --> 01:04:03.680
shared restrooms. Now, 58 occupants, which is in the uh plans here, has to be shared with the five or six other businesses that are on that floor. So, that violates plumbing code. And Mr. uh

235
01:04:03.680 --> 01:04:21.119
deputy chief chiever spoke about the fire code. So, this doesn't meet the requirements for a club. It just doesn't meet zoning. And then the information that you have there uh for the incidents um in Everett are very concerning.

236
01:04:21.119 --> 01:04:38.799
Also, uh Mr. Patillo was the license one-day license holder for the event a couple of years ago behind the Beachmont School. I don't know if anyone remembers that. It was a festival that uh was supposed to attract a certain number of people. It attracted thousands. There

237
01:04:38.799 --> 01:04:56.079
was um traffic jams. There were people urinating in people's backyards. Um, it was quite a a major problem. I don't know if the police officer here uh remembers that. Uh, councelor Joan McKenna uh unfortunately couldn't be

238
01:04:56.079 --> 01:05:10.640
here today. She was represented that area at the time and she was going to speak to that. So, it's a full-fledged nightclub. it it it doesn't meet zoning and it's in right alongside a residential

239
01:05:10.640 --> 01:05:29.359
neighborhood and you know the confidence and my apologies to Mr. Patel. Uh the confidence in what's going to happen there you know is quite uh I'm skeptical. So thank you very much and I I would urge you to deny this.

240
01:05:29.359 --> 01:05:44.880
>> Okay. Thank you. Is anyone else that'd like to speak? Uh you can just uh make your way to the mic. Um against this uh application or this license being issued. Just state your full name for the record. Your address. >> Yes. My name is Gabriella Fuchi. My

241
01:05:44.880 --> 01:06:02.319
address is 26 Reservoir Rev. I just heard about this yesterday and I was a little shocked about this. First of all, we do have nice places on Broadway. We have a people can go to entertainment there. It's been in business for such a long time. You know, parking

242
01:06:02.319 --> 01:06:18.799
availability, they close at a certain time now. We first have parking problems on Reservoir R. That's number one. So, he wants to open up a place from 10:00 a.m. in the morning until 2:00 a.m. in

243
01:06:18.799 --> 01:06:36.480
that the next morning. Yes. It's very concerning for us, not just for me, but everybody on that street. first of all is it seems like when you ask him direct questions, he seems to not answer them directly. That's a concern. When you ask

244
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:53.200
him what happened, he goes into ever and this and that. You know what? I'm sorry and no disrespect, but we don't want a private nightclub that's going to run from 10 in the morning till 2 in a.m.

245
01:06:53.200 --> 01:07:08.640
It's unacceptable in any way. First of all, it's going to be going through people's yard one. First of all, second of all, they're going to be on Broadway going another way. Another

246
01:07:08.640 --> 01:07:25.280
thing is it what is the why is all this what we don't understand is when you ask him a direct question he cannot not answer you directly with the question. So no we do we're not fathers at all. We

247
01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:40.640
have beautiful places that people can go to and relax have drinks uh people that police overlook and and been in business for so many years. Mhm. >> We don't need a place like this honestly. And you know, I've been in

248
01:07:40.640 --> 01:07:56.880
Reservoir for almost 60 years. So, >> God bless you. >> You know, I'm sorry. I have no disrespect for you, but you just don't have the right answers when it's presented by people. >> I'm sorry. >> It's all right. Let's just direct it to

249
01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:14.200
us. Um All right. Uh is there anything else you'd like to add before we move on to the next? >> Other than that, no. I just want to voice my opinion. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much. I appreciate >> you have questions or no. >> Um is there anyone else that'd like to speak against um this application?

250
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:31.600
>> Hi. I can't hear well because my hearing aids are not compatible, but I'll do my best. >> Do your best. >> I My name is Elizabeth Milano. I live at Six Reservoir Avenue for over 45 years. I've been there.

251
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:48.159
My landlord is Mr. Chikarelloo. These people, they want to open up a disco tech. They want to open up amplifiers. They want to have a bar from 10:00 a.m. till 2 pm. And it says they're going to call it Good Time Sport Club Fusion

252
01:08:48.159 --> 01:09:03.600
Sports Lounge. Has made an app all alcohol general on premises license said license to be executed at 270 Broadway Suite 7, which is an office building. But in reality, they've been coming in and going out and

253
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:21.359
coming in and going out and leaving already cases of of Corona beers in my side alleyway because in when you go out when you go down the three steps from my back door, their club is going to be right there. I can't deal with it. Also,

254
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:38.080
it says requested 52 seating. That's a joke. and and um op operation hours uh sat uh uh Sunday and sat through Saturday 10 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. They're

255
01:09:38.080 --> 01:09:53.839
going to be drinking all that time in the back of my house. That's where my that's where I sleep in that back bedroom. That's my bedroom. Wide cable TV DJ. Come on. I talked to the guy once >> and he said to me, "It's only going to

256
01:09:53.839 --> 01:10:10.480
be to watch soccer games. That's it." >> And something tells me you don't believe him. >> Pardon me? >> You don't believe him? >> Are you kidding me? >> Okay. >> Never. >> All right. >> Never. Because I know somebody that knew his past references of what he did in

257
01:10:10.480 --> 01:10:26.080
another club that he told that landlord. It was just going to be what he told my landlord and me personally. >> Was that the place in Everett? I believe so. I'm not quite sure. So, I can't really put a cross on it. I don't remember. But I just know at my age, I

258
01:10:26.080 --> 01:10:42.480
cannot deal with a district. >> There's no parking around there. And And it is definitely not going to be going up and down 250 Broadway. I mean 270. They're going to be going in and out of my alleyway where I my kitchen's there, my living room's there, and my bedroom.

259
01:10:42.480 --> 01:10:57.600
You open the door behind my bedroom. My kitchen, I'm sorry. The club is going to be right there. And you said there was there's already been boxes of liquor on the on that alleyway. There's already been liquor like boxes. >> That's where they've been coming in and going out and coming in and going out

260
01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:14.159
and doing all what they're going to do. >> Putting in stuff, taking out stuff, putting in uh drop ceilings and whatever. But I never knew anything until I got this out of the journal. That's why I brought it in because they are not telling the truth.

261
01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:30.560
>> Okay? And I was told that if they get if they you do guys allow him a liquor license, they're going to tell you he's going to tell you that they'll accept the license. Thank you very much. But they will take the business out of there. And that's not true.

262
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:45.040
>> I see. >> They're going to leave it there because once they get the liquor license, that's it. >> Okay. >> I just I just want to fight it because I don't believe these people. They're just they just want to have a disco tech and dancing

263
01:11:45.040 --> 01:12:07.679
>> and music and drinking and I I just I can't handle that. >> I understand. Thank you so much. You're welcome. >> Is anyone else uh who haven't uh spoken yet uh would like to state something on the record? >> Hi, my name is Jessica. I live at 250

264
01:12:07.679 --> 01:12:24.480
Broadway and I live not too far from this nightclub they're going to build. And there's 97 units and we're not going to want to hear music. We're not going to want to hear people going in and out.

265
01:12:24.480 --> 01:12:40.400
There's no there's no um parking. There's hardly no parking around. Um kids got to go to school. People got to work. I mean, this is not going to work.

266
01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:59.199
>> I see. Um, and and you feel like it's not going to work simply because of its location. >> Yeah, the location is no good. >> I see. All right. Anything else you would like to add? >> Um, no. >> Okay. Uh, is there anyone else who would

267
01:12:59.199 --> 01:13:17.280
like to speak um in opposition? I haven't had a chance to speak yet. Is it okay if I move this up a bit? >> Of course. Certainly. State your full name for the reckoning address. >> Sure. I'm Stephanie Desto. >> Oh, I was waiting for you to come with >> Seven Reservoir Avenue.

268
01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:33.600
>> Okay. And I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today and for listening to the information that I really wish to share with you. I live directly across from Six Reservoir Rav and I've been at Seven Reservoir Rav for

269
01:13:33.600 --> 01:13:50.480
66 years. Technically, Six Reservoir Rav is in the CB district because it is attached to 29 to 270 Broadway in the rear. and the room that the applicant is

270
01:13:50.480 --> 01:14:06.239
leasing. When you open the secondary egress door, you're stepping right out onto the back porch of Six Reservoir Avenue. And in order to get out to the sidewalk, you got to cross the whole deck. Then

271
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:21.440
you have to come down the concrete side um walkway. But once you step out onto Reservoir Rab, you're in the CB zone. I mean the RB zone. And I understand that you don't have any purview over zoning, but I think it's important for you to

272
01:14:21.440 --> 01:14:37.840
understand how when people are directly abuting the CB zone, what what kind of a nightmare it can make for them. And I'm going to say this that the secondary egress is going to become the

273
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:55.600
de facto primary access and egress to get into room 7 simply because it's a lot easier to come in through that back door behind Six Reservoir than it is to go around to 270, have to wait to be buzzed in, walk

274
01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:11.920
up 20some stairs, and then walk all the way down the back of the corridor to get into the room and that is going to be a big headache for you folks and it's going to be intolerable for the residents to have

275
01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:28.320
people coming and going at all hours of the day and night right on right under our uh windows. Secondly, I wanted to say this that the lounge that the applicant plans to open, it may be an allowed use, but it's not

276
01:15:28.320 --> 01:15:44.000
an appropriate use. Uh you've heard some uh some descriptions of what the building is like inside. I'm very familiar with the building. 270 Broadway is an old style building. There are six small business offices operating on the

277
01:15:44.000 --> 01:16:00.800
second floor. There are no sprinklers. There's no handicapped accessibility. There are other businesses. Um there's no uh elevator. You have to be buzzed in through the front door. And there's only one bathroom that everybody's sharing in

278
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:16.560
the common area and very little business visibility. So I just want to say in what world would anybody who wants to operate a and as the applicant is now referring to as a nightlife venue

279
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:34.159
in an old style building and in what world would somebody want to squeeze 58 people into an 870 foot room? the Jventus Club, the the applicant created a narrative

280
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:49.360
that his sports lounge is going to be a quote private social club just like the Juventus Club was. The Juventus Club of Boston was a bonafide private social club and it was

281
01:16:49.360 --> 01:17:08.640
incorporated as a nonprofit. By definition, a private social club is for members only and operates solely for benevolent social purposes and does not engage in purveyan alcohol for profit. Let me share this with you. I'm going to

282
01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:25.600
read to you the Juventus articles of organization. It's one sentence. The purpose of Juventus Club of Boston is to promote the playing and appreciation of the game of soccer in general and to support in particular the

283
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:43.040
FC Juventus soccer club of Torino, Italy. A benevolent purpose. Compare that to Good Times. The company's business is to own, operate, and manage restaurant and entertainment facilities, including

284
01:17:43.040 --> 01:17:59.840
serving alcoholic beverages. You cannot compare the two. It's like trying to compare daytime to nighttime. And Fusion Sports Lounge is not going to be a private social club by any stretch of the imagination. It's going to be a

285
01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:14.960
nightlife venue open to the general public. The private social club narrative is a cleverly manufactured smoke screen used by the Apple con to manipulate and to

286
01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:31.280
mislead the owner of the property to get his foot in the door and to skirt the full scrutiny by ISD and site plan review by explicitly misrepresenting on his site plan review what that use of

287
01:18:31.280 --> 01:18:46.320
that room was going to be. It says right here, adaptive reuse into a private social club. A total misrepresentation. In fact, the applicant never intended to open a

288
01:18:46.320 --> 01:19:02.159
private social club. How can I say that? Because his because operating private social clubs is not his business model. He's had five other LLC's. All of them were fullervice sports bars,

289
01:19:02.159 --> 01:19:18.080
lounge enterprise models with the primary component of being serving alcohol and food and providing entertainment to the general public. Number two, because his Good Times LLC corporate papers tell you exactly what

290
01:19:18.080 --> 01:19:34.080
this is going to be. And number three, because of what he's asking for here today. None of it squares with what he represented to site plan review about this being a private social club.

291
01:19:34.080 --> 01:19:52.880
The Jventus Club was not a nightlife venue with a designated multi-purpose events room and a central gathering space, nor did it have an LED dance floor. All of that being said, I think it's

292
01:19:52.880 --> 01:20:11.760
important for you to hear a little bit about the history because the history speaks to the misrepresentations he's made on his license application. The information he failed to disclose to you in his application. Everyone knows

293
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:28.159
here what happened in 2024 down in Beachmont when you entrusted him with a one-day malt liquor license and you know what nightmare it turned into for the people of Beachmont. And there's also the applicant's involvement with Antonia's and the problems that

294
01:20:28.159 --> 01:20:44.960
continued to occur there even after he came on board as the new business partner and the day-to-day operations manager supposedly to rectify the problems. And those problems had everything to do with egress and access. People coming out of side doors that

295
01:20:44.960 --> 01:21:00.880
they were never supposed to be using. Now it's to the city of Everett. I cannot speak to what other animous there may or may not have existed between the applicant and the license Everett license board and ISD. But what I can

296
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:16.960
speak to and share with you is what their record obtained by a foyer request reflect relative to the liquor license he had for Winter Sports Bar and Grill, which was located in Glendale Square. And those records reflect that this

297
01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:33.280
applicant has an extensive and welldocumented history of problem after problem, hearing after hearing, violation after violation, disciplinary actions taken against him, and multiple corrective measures that were put into place.

298
01:21:33.280 --> 01:21:50.800
For an example, September of 2018, last chance agreements because his hours were rolled back. April of 2019 when the board voted to revoke his license

299
01:21:50.800 --> 01:22:06.320
October 2021 placed on probation for two months. >> Can I ask you a question? Uh when they voted to revoke the license, did did was the license in fact revoked? >> I don't know because I didn't get the file on this applicant was two red wells

300
01:22:06.320 --> 01:22:20.480
this fat filled with documents. I'm all I'm saying is what I have shows that they voted to revoke his license. I don't know what the process was after that because I didn't get all the records

301
01:22:20.480 --> 01:22:40.239
in November 2020 uh March of 2023. You know, whether they revoked it or not, he's never told you about all this stuff. I'll get to that in a second. In March 2023, the decision by the license board to impose four disciplinary

302
01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:56.239
actions. And in November 2023, corrective measures, seven restrictions because he was using the basement when he wasn't supposed to be. >> Now, Miss um I don't want to mispronounce your last name. Uh Miss Misto

303
01:22:56.239 --> 01:23:13.679
>> Dysto. Um, if we I would appreciate just a summary because the you graciously provided us with the whole file from 2023 to 2018. We have it. We reviewed it. Um, if you could just just give us like a a good summary of it instead of going through each one.

304
01:23:13.679 --> 01:23:29.679
>> Well, that's that that's that's like I say, >> he had two red wells. They had two red wells fat like this with with file documents on this uh applicant. I see. >> I didn't ask for that all. My request was tailored and narrowed to ask for

305
01:23:29.679 --> 01:23:45.760
very specific things. >> Right. >> Okay. >> We have we have the entire file though, just so you know. Uh we from 2023. Yeah. We have all the decisions, all the disciplinary actions. So you could just give us a good summary of it as opposed to each one because we we have it in front of us.

306
01:23:45.760 --> 01:24:01.440
>> Well, the violations include as you heard over serving, serving underage, all here. This is just a sampling. >> Mhm. operating over capacity, operating and serving after hours, block repeatedly blocking egresses, using the

307
01:24:01.440 --> 01:24:18.679
basement for live entertainment, and serving alcohol when those uses were not allowed there, and having out of control, I don't know if you saw this in what you reviewed, out of control dance parties. People were actually dancing on top of the bar

308
01:24:18.800 --> 01:24:34.080
in the basement, which on one occasion resulted in an Ever police officer being assaulted. He was punched when he was walking down the stairs to see what was going on in the basement. >> Can I ask you a question? Um, in light of everything that you're noting on the

309
01:24:34.080 --> 01:24:49.679
record today, is it your position that uh if someone had all of these prior violations, they should never be issued alcohol license again? What I'm saying is somebody with all these violations who failed to disclose this to you on the license application should never be

310
01:24:49.679 --> 01:25:06.239
given this much. The records reflect he was short short-lived compliant, non-compliant, and even when corrective measures were applied, he had excuses for everything. He talked his way around everything and never acted in good

311
01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:25.040
faith. So, if you could provide us a summary as to your conclusion as to whether you think we should issue this license, what would that be in in summary? >> Well, I have to share this information with you that's not in anything that you have.

312
01:25:25.040 --> 01:25:41.920
I'm just trying to um in the issue in in the interest of um you know uh preserving as much time for the next hearing uh I I'd like for you to >> Is there a next hearing? >> Okay. >> Yeah, there is. >> Well, I promise I'm only going to be another three minutes.

313
01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:58.719
>> Uh well, that's it. Just provide me with again with a a good summary of whatever remaining you have to say at this point. What I want to say is that he point blank misre made misrepresentations to you on his license application and then concerning tax leans and I am going to

314
01:25:58.719 --> 01:26:15.600
get this out. >> Sure. >> I wish to share this because it underscores the applicant's yearslong consistent pattern of bad behavior and dishonesty. The applicant confirms that he's in good standing with the mass do regarding payment of taxes. However, the publicly

315
01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:32.400
available free online records on file at the Suffach County Registry of Deeds and the Secretary of State Corporations Division reflect that there are multiple leans currently unreleased outstanding against him and several of his now defunct

316
01:26:32.400 --> 01:26:47.360
businesses. There's a lean for unpaid meal taxes relative to the P&M Corporation which was winner sports bar and for for approximately $3,200. True, that's a small amount. But then

317
01:26:47.360 --> 01:27:02.800
there's this. The tax leans placed against him and his former Star Service Corporation between 2014 and 2017 as a result of the attorney general's investigation arising from complaints

318
01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:23.520
made by the SEIU Local 615. Star Service Corporation provided janitorial and cleaning service as a subcontract subcontractor at the Hines Convention Center. The attorney general concluded that between two January 2011

319
01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:39.679
and December two th 2013 staff failed to pay some or all of its 160 employees the prevailing wage and that staff did not make required payments to the relevant

320
01:27:39.679 --> 01:27:56.400
pension funds and made insufficient payments to the health and welfare funds after taking deductions from his own employees. but never making payments into the funds. Can you imagine taking advantage of your own people as your own employees? Thus, the tax lean filed

321
01:27:56.400 --> 01:28:15.040
against him and Star Services Court for a total of over $758,000. Well, a lawsuit ensued in federal district court. STAR sued the general contractor. And during the litigation, it became known that over the course of a three-year period, the applicant

322
01:28:15.040 --> 01:28:31.440
through his Star Service corporation overbuild the general contractor by invoicing the general contractor for hours in excess of those actually worked by employees. Ma'am, and with all due respect, I I I think your point is wellreceived at this point

323
01:28:31.440 --> 01:28:48.639
>> to the tune of $162,000. Okay. >> All right. I ma'am, I I certainly I certainly appreciate >> I'm going to sum up. >> Yeah, please just provide us >> false statements and purposeful misrepresentation. >> Summary conclusion, please. >> This is what it is. which he made on the

324
01:28:48.639 --> 01:29:05.120
license application. All and I'm quoting from the license application constitute cause for disapproval of the application. Prior violations and disciplinary history misrepresentations he made here and to site plan review coupled with his history of egregious

325
01:29:05.120 --> 01:29:21.920
business practices all speak to his blatant lack of honesty and trustworthiness. As such, I am asking that this board unanimously vote tonight all and everything that he's asking for now and at any time in the future. There's absolutely no legitimate

326
01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:39.040
justification for you to grant any part of his request because if you do, you're going to be condoning the actions and behavior of someone who habitually demonstrates that he has no respect or regard for rules, regulations, and truthfulness. and you will be doing a

327
01:29:39.040 --> 01:29:54.239
tremendous disservice to the six business owners on the second floor of 270, to the owner of the building, and to the residents who live on the lower end of Broadway. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. I'm going to uh

328
01:29:54.239 --> 01:30:10.960
anyone who hasn't spoken yet would like to speak in opposition. >> My name is Mario Shakarelloo. I am the owner of the the building. Tony, he's a nice guy, but I can tell you one thing. He will tell you one

329
01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:25.920
thing today, but he's going to do a different thing tomorrow. I got to know him for not too long. But you know, we made an agreement yesterday and he comes here today. He wasn't going

330
01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:44.000
to draw the license. He calls me this morning. I show you everything on paper. He wants to go back for the license. then he can move it someplace else. If you're going to give it the license, I don't have a problem. You give it a license for a different location, part

331
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:59.280
270 Broadway. >> But let me ask you a question. You're the landlord of the building, correct? >> Yes. >> You you gave him a lease and in the lease it says that you you're approving his operation. >> But back on the beginning, I tell you why. All right. The price it was high

332
01:30:59.280 --> 01:31:14.159
for the rent. He became a friend with another guy that owns Joshua demolition. I wasn't dealing with the Joshua at the time. I wasn't even dealing with them. I knew him. So then he came, they got together. He he even talking me down for

333
01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:31.280
the rent. Now here the space. All right. For $1,500 and I pay the heat. It's possible. I would have never done it. The only thing he says, "Mario, take the name." And then he up. But I had a lot of trust on him.

334
01:31:31.280 --> 01:31:47.920
>> But he did tell you the idea he had for that. >> But I had a trust on him that there was going to be like a Juventus club, private club. >> So he told you it was going to be a club. >> He would tell that's what he was supposed to be. >> Speak to me. >> But he changed it.

335
01:31:47.920 --> 01:32:03.600
>> It says in the lease. It says sports sports club. >> Correct. Because I had a lot of respect with him for the lease. But how can you put a nightclub when I have the tenants? So they've been living in there for 45 years. >> So you don't believe till the the

336
01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:20.320
purpose that you rented him the place for which is a sports club. You don't believe that that's what it's going to use be used for? >> I I thought he was going to put a nightclub but because I thought he was going to do similar. I didn't read the list at the time. I had a respect that

337
01:32:20.320 --> 01:32:37.280
it was going to be like a private >> and you stopped by and see >> another just to tell you something he's been there for a couple of months now already he have evidence some event there already all right no insurance nothing how can you put it in my

338
01:32:37.280 --> 01:32:52.560
possession >> all right thing on my side >> last question so if if this license isn't approved would you be would you let him out of his lease because he signed a two-year lease with him >> the lease already been made an agreement already, but he break the agreement.

339
01:32:52.560 --> 01:33:08.719
>> You made an agreement that you'll let him out of the business if he wants to move it somewhere else. >> I have on a text message and I have on paper if you want to see it. All right. >> That you'll let him move his business somewhere else. >> He could go anywhere he wants. But you're not going to open. You want to give it the license, give it the license

340
01:33:08.719 --> 01:33:24.560
to him, but not for the location of there. I don't want to have a nightclub there. I don't want to have. He was going to go with the private club where they're going to do private event. Now I

341
01:33:24.560 --> 01:33:40.080
went this club but they never had the liquor license. Now he came over here. He knows everybody in the city probably he could get a license. >> Did you know that he was going to apply for a license? >> I'm sorry. >> Did you know that he was going to apply for a license >> for the liquor license?

342
01:33:40.080 --> 01:33:56.639
>> Yeah. Well, in the conversation, but he was going to do for a private club. >> Next question. So, if he changes his purpose today, if he says, "All right, I'm going to change my purpose to a private club." Would you allow it then? >> Not right now. Because right now, I have too many people calling me

343
01:33:56.639 --> 01:34:13.840
>> and what he tell you and what he does, that's a two different thing. And I think Stephanie, he to he read it to you quite and I didn't even know all those violation. So, just to keep in your mind, I don't speak very well English, but I

344
01:34:13.840 --> 01:34:29.920
have a lawsuit right now in Florida with the liquor license. A sheriff, it was pulled somebody out at the bar. All right. He grabbed the ball, he throw it and hit somebody on the head, a woman.

345
01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:45.760
The guy is fle now is going to go. They're going after me. Has a landlord. So, and that's why I don't want any liquor. >> I understand. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Is there anyone else that'd like to speak in opposition? You'll have a chance. Uh, Mr. Portillo in opposition. Yeah, you just approached

346
01:34:45.760 --> 01:35:01.199
the mic. >> Hello. Good afternoon. >> Good afternoon. >> Um, my name is Paulina Rodriguez and my address is 17 Receiver Avenue, Rivier. >> Um, I'm just here to support my neighborhood. I'm no agree with this

347
01:35:01.199 --> 01:35:16.880
club. I just want to know. I just want to say all my family and many people in the street have a job. We work so early. So a club to I don't know 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. >> Mhm.

348
01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:33.679
>> It's too hard to house. Also, the parking is we we only have one slide of the street to park. >> It's on reservoir. >> Yes. >> So now it's difficult to to f to find a a parking. So with that club is too much

349
01:35:33.679 --> 01:36:05.840
for us. So that's the only one I want to say. Thank you. >> Um >> yeah. >> Yep. You may proceed. Just a point of clarification to support her assumption. If you look at what he submitted for

350
01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:22.400
plans, these are not stamped plans. Um, he's showing the reservoir a as his main exit egress from the club. So that is using the reservoir a which is onto the deck which is the problem. And I believe you also have a picture in the record

351
01:36:22.400 --> 01:36:37.360
that shows the walkway from that deck down to Reservoir AB as a very narrow um alleyway that's blocked by a concrete wall. So I don't believe that the width of that walkway will also meet the capacity requirements as that being the

352
01:36:37.360 --> 01:36:54.000
primary egress and as a club he also has to have a primary door that's 72 in so he can meet the exit capacity. So we talked about all the other code issues. I don't think this even meets the code to be used for for a club of that

353
01:36:54.000 --> 01:37:11.679
capacity without additional measures being done to increase the capacity of the exits. >> Okay, perfect. Yeah, thank you. I was looking at the diagram here. Um, uh, I would like to give Mr. Portillio an opportunity to speak. Obviously, I

354
01:37:11.679 --> 01:37:26.000
I've heard from you already. I, so I just want to give him an opportunity to address some of the concerns if you could. um you heard from your neighbors, you heard from the folks uh in the city. Um what what would you like to say to

355
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:41.199
the all the concerns that um that has been brought before the commission? >> I will say that first of all, I will make your job easy. I will draw up this application. I'm a man in my word and I don't know a lot of these people. They don't know me. Um they speak about the

356
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:57.119
stuff that they see online. the $3,000 um tax the lean for winners which I pay already because when we did the taxes come up the last year it was normal but I already if you see it is pay the other stuff they were talking about stars

357
01:37:57.119 --> 01:38:12.880
branded I was a subcontractor at the state house in um Boston convention center for like 12 years I had agreement with a company called Unico which we worked for seven years with no problem took over I still as a subcontract

358
01:38:12.880 --> 01:38:29.040
three years later that um the state came out and say, "Oh, but you don't meet in this the minimum wages, right?" I say, "I don't sign a contract with you. I signed with the union and we ABM," which is a different agreement. So, we went to to court. I spend over a million

359
01:38:29.040 --> 01:38:44.239
dollars, but I end up winning the case that um who had to pay that was ABM and I can sue them for triple damage. They don't tell you that stuff. Um but, you know, my name was clean. I came on top because I did the right thing. So that

360
01:38:44.239 --> 01:39:00.400
was um because I signed because the state said, "Yeah, it's true. We never signed." So you don't know what the minimum wage is for the state. You have to comply with the minimum wage for the union, which was different. So that uh ABN end up paying that money. Um so I I

361
01:39:00.400 --> 01:39:17.920
I suggest for next time just do your homework and do it right. I really respect you guys and we respect Mario. we have agreement that we sign and you would you know the 100% and we talk about what we want to do when um put a 10 to two is because the only purpose I

362
01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:33.360
have two other really successful business and I'm doing really okay this is not going to hurt me at all but um but what I'm what this is coming from my heart what I was looking for a place is to go watch a sports and when I put 10 to three because summer um soccer events

363
01:39:33.360 --> 01:39:50.320
for example start I would never plan because I'm not looking for a nightclub I don't know why they keep mentioning that. I would put a 10 to two because sometimes, you know, a game start at 10:00 and I wouldn't be able to go and watch the game legally. You know, I I love um UFC for example and I used to

364
01:39:50.320 --> 01:40:06.239
show all the fights winners and that was the spot that people go watch the UFC fights a couple times. We have to tell people to leave before the fight finish because it was 1:00 we have to be out. That's the only reason why I put 2:00.

365
01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:22.880
Uh but I was not planning I would make it really clear that I was not planning to do a nightclub and I can see in your eyes and I you know I run different businesses and the two cases and I I really respect the city council and mention that big event that I did in so

366
01:40:22.880 --> 01:40:39.040
down um you know next to down and you know when you apply for public event you can guess how many people coming but in the end of the day nobody have as you know like really clear idea how many uh people going to show up. Um I can say

367
01:40:39.040 --> 01:40:55.600
that that day we work with the police, we worked with the um with the mayor's office and we agreed everything they asked me. I did. And you should be proud that you all neighbors came to celebrate a day and I don't know this really looks and really kind of make me upset cuz we

368
01:40:55.600 --> 01:41:11.040
had that many people in one place. know even one issue and you have problems with let's let's say okay thank god thanks god we got that many people in one place it had no issues next time let's plan it together that's the right way to work with you know as a neighbors

369
01:41:11.040 --> 01:41:25.520
but if somebody come a specific group come to me and say oh you can't allow to have this kind of people and in in one place it kind of make me upset you have to understand diversity you have to promote and accept diversity people uh

370
01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:41.679
re change cities change and you a city council you're representing everybody you're not representing just one particular group I'm a really man in my work and I like to do everything by the law I don't like to call Kakon I said people don't know she say that I have

371
01:41:41.679 --> 01:41:57.360
people that I know and re but I know even one person I say oh do me a favor because that's not how I operate never ask for a favor I come and apply I first do I have to sign a lease with Mr. Mario, I decided I did everything

372
01:41:57.360 --> 01:42:13.920
legally to this point. I spent all this money and now I withdraw the application because I don't want to be the neighbors to think that I want to bring headers to the neighborhood. Seriously, I will make the job easy. But it really make me upset that people think that I am the

373
01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:30.159
bad person and you know people that know me and a lot of people know me. They know that I I'm really straight shooter. I will going to say the way it is. I don't care who you are. You can be, you know, Mr. Trump is my favorite president, but I can say if he's doing something wrong. That's who I am.

374
01:42:30.159 --> 01:42:45.440
>> So, I think that uh well, I don't think further discussions necessary. I think that um you know, I think if you intend to formally withdraw it, it it would have to be in writing according to the rules. Um but, um I do obviously want to give you the the

375
01:42:45.440 --> 01:43:02.960
amount of space, but if you are at the position where you would like to withdraw it, I I think we we should just render decision on the record. um given the opposition that's in front of us. Uh so I'm going to close this section. Um do you think we need any further discussion on this application?

376
01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:19.040
>> Um so I'd like to move um you know to >> want to say one thing. >> Sure. >> Um Tony, from what I've seen from from you for several years, um you're a very hardworking person. >> Yes. >> Very. And uh very into the community,

377
01:43:19.040 --> 01:43:36.400
the city too. Um, but in this circumstances, I mean, it's it's tough. >> No, I completely understand. It's tough. >> I'll be honest with you and and to, you know, in fairness to you, Tony, um, and I I'd like to state it clearly for the the neighbors that are here. I mean, prior to hearing everything that came

378
01:43:36.400 --> 01:43:53.040
before us, um, from Everett and the other two businesses that you've had, you you you have a pretty good reputation in the city in terms of what you've done with your licenses, etc. Obviously, you've had issue with the Beachmont um situation, but that, you know, that was one out of many times

379
01:43:53.040 --> 01:44:09.199
you've been before us, and I think your reputation >> has preceded you in a good way. Um so, I don't think that you need to defend uh much of your character in that sense in terms of what you've done for us. However, um I am moving to uh deny this

380
01:44:09.199 --> 01:44:24.560
application uh by the Good Time Sports Club infusion bar for an all alcohol um general on premises like license for several reasons. one upon review of the the application and supporting materials, the opposition that we

381
01:44:24.560 --> 01:44:40.560
received uh particularly from uh Miss uh Disto and several other neighbors um you know in strong opposition of uh this application. It you know it to us it it it represents that you there's a there's

382
01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:57.520
a documented history of non-compliancing with licensing laws, regulations prior um with your prior establishment in Ever. It's well documented that um you know several issues with you know the alcohol service as uh the neighbor uh

383
01:44:57.520 --> 01:45:14.320
pointed out um the unauthorized purchase of liquor uh from you know from what I see in the evidence here from Geos in River when you had the operation in Everett. Um but again, most importantly, I think what stands out to me um is the

384
01:45:14.320 --> 01:45:30.960
uh the neighborhood outcry raising several concerns regarding the noise, the parking, the overcrowdedness, the suitability of whether you should be fit to have a license based on your misrepresentation, which I think is the what stands out the most uh to me, the misrepresentation on the the all alcohol

385
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:47.520
license. um not only based on my own review but uh based on the representation of uh Miss Disto and I hope I'm saying her her last name right uh citing you know um you know your failure to disclose uh the host of

386
01:45:47.520 --> 01:46:05.040
issues that you've had in in in Everett including um the documented and finding of a two-day revocation of your license. Um, so in light of all that, I think that um granting the requested license would not

387
01:46:05.040 --> 01:46:19.520
be in uh the public the the public's best interest at this potential point. So that would be my motion. Uh I'm not sure if I have a second on that. >> Can I just say one thing, couple things, please?

388
01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:38.000
>> So um and I told Mr. Mario yesterday said I'm not going to move forward with the application and I'm ending my word. I even told you today that I'm not moving forward. Um the only reason why and and that's that's how I operate. I just kind of tell you how it is. um and

389
01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:55.760
and winners that issue was so deep that um now with the previous elections of the mayor, the current mayor um Robert Vancamp came to me and say Tony I want you to record a video what happened in Everett um to why you left Everett and I

390
01:46:55.760 --> 01:47:13.440
did record a video that not only field the two fields in the licensing board called me the mayor the the um ex mayor Ko de Maria told me hey Tony can you asked the campaign to remove that video when you talk about all the issues that you had with the liquor board did and

391
01:47:13.440 --> 01:47:31.760
that video was I explained because and the position that you had have to be really neutral, right? But this guy took it personal to me and he uh make me spend a lot of money high and lawyer but not even once he won because he had no proof of what he accused me. So um so

392
01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:50.719
what I'm saying is I would what I say I would do that 100%. I'm not I don't have two faces. I just kind of told you how it is and I this people like I say you should have take a chance to get to know me more because you um make me feel I I

393
01:47:50.719 --> 01:48:05.360
know who I am and the people that are close to me they know who I am but you talk about some somebody that is know me. I mean seriously it's no me. If I told you something, I would do it 100%. >> And the liquor. I got to say the last

394
01:48:05.360 --> 01:48:20.960
thing. I never drink. I would never got any one person to drink in that location. >> All right, Mr. Mart. >> Just going to say one thing. Mr. Mario to another guy. >> Here's the thing. >> Went to drink there. >> At this point in time, we we're we're literally in the process of deliberating. >> Thank you so much, guys.

395
01:48:20.960 --> 01:48:36.239
>> Absolutely. So, I I put a motion denying the application. I'm not sure if you have a second. >> I'm going to second that. >> All right. Thank you. Um, so that motion uh will carry denying the application for an all alcohol general on premises

396
01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:51.280
uh license uh put forth by Good Time Sports Club um doing business as Fusion Sports Lounge. All right. Uh so I'm going to close that section. Um I'm going to go back to uh item number 10 on the list. Is there anyone here from
