are attending the event, competitors, spectators. I'm sure there'll be um the number a thousand is on the very high end of the attendees of this event, but we wanted to just, you know, say a thousand just in case we actually got there. Um, but it's a standard. It's a
martial arts event. Uh, it's a three-day event, two days of which are going to be at this facility. And having uh one dedicated food distribution is ideal for our setup. So we don't have people walking into the gym or you know or we don't have to set up our own food inside
the the building as well. So >> thank you very much. >> So there were two locations I put on the map. Uh in past events most recently there was a river boxing event. Um the actually the same company Bono Appetite
was set up in the spot that was right outside of the fieldhouse. In the event that there are a thousand people, we did put a secondary option which would be out inside of the uh towards the parking lot where the buses are stored. >> Thank you very much, counselor. Do any
of my fellow commissioners have any questions? So just because I saw a high number a thousand, are you going to have a police detail? >> If it's required, absolutely. >> Okay. >> Do you have any uh questions,
Commissioner? >> The application before us is it's it's for the food vendor. It's not for the actual event itself. >> No, just we had to do one. It's for the uh we had to do two one-day licenses, one for Friday, one for Saturday, but it's on the same the same paperwork.

the dinner event at the end. So, we're not new to running this event. Um, yeah. >> How about in this particular place at the Rivier? >> Same same. We've used the field actually this not just for this event but for years we ran an event called the Boston
summer open out of the fieldhouse. Um we've uh we have plenty of experience with this location. Um love the flooring. It's actually ideal for a fighter. So >> I'm familiar with that yet. >> All right. Very good. Any other
questions? Very good. We'll close this part of the hearing. Are there any uh proponents? Anybody like to speak on behalf of the issuing English license? Don't see or hear anybody. We'll close that section. Is there anybody opposed? >> Hearing none, we will move to discussion

getting the licenses to reopen the UNOS, there has been a great community outpouring. Um, a lot of people see Unos as a staple in River. There are not a lot of restaurants in the area that have
the longevity that Unos has. Um, many people have used the restaurant for decades as a place for anniversaries, for celebrations, for gettogethers, um, for catching up with old friends.
And attorney Edmonson and Miss Cororum want to keep Unos the same, but as they said, bring it into the next century. Um, but everything else will remain the same as far as required licenses. >> Well, thank you very much. Do any of my fellow commissioners have any questions

the items for consideration. The next item are the hearings. Um Atlantic Auto Body, Inc. 529 Broadway. Anorita F. Saglia is the manager. This
is a hearing into violations of fire and building safety codes and failure to maintain sufficient facilities for number of cars on license. Your name and address for the record, please, sir. >> Uh Clay Saraglia, uh 529 Broadway.
>> I'm the owner, too. And as my wife. >> Okay. >> Very good. Well, before we begin, we'd like to hear from uh Deputy Chiever so he can give us the the full picture of what we're talking about for this hearing. Sure. >> Deputy
>> afternoon. Uh, Deputy Chief Paul Cher Fire. Uh, I don't know if I'm going to be able to give you the full picture, but I'll give you >> Well, whatever you can give us would be a little bit an overview. So, um, the property we're talking about is actually three different parcels and three
different addresses. It's 529. It's 533 and I believe it's 535. I got to look at my notes, but um 529 is where um Chicken Polo is right now. And his business,
Atlantic Auto Body, is behind that. And then the other building next door is it has a tax a tax office, a hair salon, and a liquor store. the liquor store projects back into that parcel and then there's another parcel behind it which
is referred to kind of the school street address but it's it's really a a um doesn't have a an official address. So there is a um special permit from 3 years ago that was issued from the
council and that is related to 535 which is that which is the school street parcel behind behind the uh the hair salon and the liquor store. But that pcel that the space that's in that
parcel that the special permit was was uh issued for also crosses over into that front um posel. So there's a lot there's a lot of complexity that's going on here. Um 529 is what he uses because that's his LLC. Um the special
conditions that is put on the the school street parcel from the council includes a review from the fire department. um fire potentially, you know, fire alarm system, sprinkler system if if deemed necessary, as well as, you know, blocking up windows, no no storage of
junk cars in the yard and so forth like that. But in looking at the codes, you can't look at 535 in a bubble. You have to look at it with the property that's in front
which is the liquor store the hair salon because the egress path from that back posel is through the center of that property. So when he's looking at an analysis and doing a a business plan for what he's going to be doing back there he has to look at the building
holistically and provide safe egress provide fire alarm for the full building. He has a chapter 34 review that kind of touches some of that. The chapter 34 review is basically a code analysis of the building saying, "Hey, this is what you need." And that code analysis also talks about potential
sprinkler systems. So, um, Lieutenant Larry went to the property on, um, 1626 and walked the property and she noted, uh, many code violations, 527 CMR
code violations, as well as violations to the special permit. Um, we've had conversations since then. He's he's cleaned up the property quite a bit. He stopped using the parcel the the space on the school street space. He has equipment and everything in there, but
he stopped using it. Waiting to resolve what he needs to do to properly use um this whole property holistically. Uh, I think he's he's um I got a partial plan from him that just had that back space and I explained to him that he needs to
do a plan for the whole property, get an architect involved, show egress paths, firewalls, uh, whatever he needs to do to isolate his use of that back space from the other properties as well as ratings. You know, he had a draft carton hanging up as his separation between his
auto body space and those other uses. that's not a co-compliant solution. So, I I think we're getting there. I think he understands a lot of the issues, but I still think he has a lot more work to do. The other part that's very concerning to me is there are a lot of
vehicles that are stored on this parcel. Um, you know, we do need to establish some kind of, you know, egress path from the back of these buildings around to the front. So, some of that needs to be established. He needs to establish clear parking um for where he's putting vehicles out there that are in various
uses of stages of repair and so forth. His special permit says no storage of junk cars or or you know those type of cars out there. I think there's you know there's going to be some of that going to occur with the type of business he's running. You know the business is listed
as not just um auto body but it's also listed as vehicle repair. The special permit says that in this back building it's only supposed to be autoari work, not um not auto repair. So I he needs to get a um he needs to get step back a
little more, do another analysis of what he's actually doing here, get get a business plan together and get some professionals involved that can say what needs to be done to rate the space egress paths. So he needs an architect. He needs a fire protection engineer to
help him solidify everything that's going on in this property. >> The um according to the CMR that I'm looking at, it indicates that if he is selling vehicles that the dealers shall have an area to display the vehicles
offered for sale, which cannot be shared with any other business unless a substantial physical separation exists. >> Correct. >> Is there a substantial Is there a substantial um physical
separation existing right now? >> Not that I see. >> Okay. Thank you. And um the display must also have sufficient space to allow potential buyers to walk between displayed vehicles and there shall be
sufficient space for customer parking. the license as la the last license that was um granted was granted for 60 automobiles. Do you see that being realistic at this
point based upon what the property looks like today? >> No. I think he needs to go back to his architect, his fire protection engineer, look at the CMRs, establish a place where he's going to be using as a used vehicle versus his
repair vehicles that are going in these two buildings for various levels of repair. So, I think he's needs to get a plan together to establish that. >> Very good. Um, and at this point, what would what would you recommend as the
a remedy for the situation as it exists today? >> I think he needs to I think his license should be put on hold again and give him another chance to come back and get some of these issues resolved. >> Very good. Uh, do any of my fellow commissioners have any other issues that
you want to discuss with the deputy? >> Uh, no, not at this time. Very good. Thank you, deputy. Appreciate your time. >> Well, sir, you've heard what the deputy has to say and you understand what the CMR says about the dealership of of
vehicles. Um, what what is your plan or what what would you like to see occur at this point? >> Well, we we definitely going to have to get everything done because I need my license because I run my business. So definitely we work on it to get
everything done as Paul said with the body shop and the mechanic shop and the sales. >> And how much time do you think you'd need if we would have if we would have to ask you to come back in at our next meeting? Would you is that something you think >> that would be a month?
>> No, I think we I I'll say a month. I think should be enough. We just I just got something done today with the architect. It's it's so tough we deal with them because they're so busy and then delays and waiting. And uh we just got something done today. Um I just sent to Paul today and he's going to review
and then some plans and then uh so we're working on it for sure. You know what I mean? So I think in a month we should be all set. Definitely. >> Deputy, would you think that if we were to put this off for a month that uh that would be a sufficient um out outcome for today?
>> Well, I'll say it took me a month to get the updated plan. Do I think it's a good idea to have a follow-up in a month? probably because I think we need to keep an eye on this to keep it moving forward. Will I think he'll be done in a month? I hope so, but I'd be surprised. >> At least the plans we have we have to be
done. Yeah. >> How when was the last time you've been to the property? >> Two weeks ago. >> Yeah. About two weeks ago. I walked it. >> So I I see correspondence here back in January where I think your concerns were were very heightened. Um since since then and up until about two weeks ago,
have you seen significant progress? >> Yes. the pictures that are on file from Lieutenant Larry's inspection. He's uh done a great job at cleaning up behind the property, getting the oil, the tires, the the parts that were scattered about. Those have all been cleaned up.
Um he still has some other issues. I explained to him how he's supposed to be storing his acetylene gases and things like that. So, he's got he he needs to put a business plan together and how he's operating the business. I haven't seen that yet and I've asked for it for a couple times. Have you seen a increase
or decrease in the amount of vehicles stored on the property? >> I'm going to say it's about the same. >> About the same. >> Yeah. >> Cuz in the in the pictures that I see here, it's approximately about 30 some odd vehicles on the property at the moment. >> With the snowtorm, we got push shot a
little because we keep the snow in the back. Now it's getting better. >> How many vehicles do you currently have? >> We have about 30 cars per day. 30 40 cars a day. >> I think I think by him losing the use of that school street address, he did have
vehicles in there. Those that has pushed those vehicles into the lot more and it's forcing him just to use the 529 building to achieve his vehicle repairs. So, it's limiting his business a little bit right now as far as production. >> Yep. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I'm I'm asking uh more so uh in regards to the um the license um permits up to about 60 cars on the lot and based on what I'm seeing that lot cannot support that many vehicles. That's why I think it's important that he goes back
to his architect to an engineer get he's got a he's got civil plans he can do a parking plan to show what the vehic what the what the parcel can actually support and I think we can use that as renewing his new license based on that. So, he's going to have to show an area where his
vehicles that are in stages of repair are because, you know, you're always pulling them out, doing different things. And then he's probably going to have to show on the side of the building where he has vehicles that he has display for sale and kind of segregate those and and provide what's needed with the CMR,
>> right? Um, and as as as you stand today, um, you're not necessarily um um put putting forth that we like actually shut them down, but more so give them another 30 days to see if they can get to where they need to be.
>> Um, no, I think I think you know, like I just stated, I he has shut down use of that other space. Okay. >> So, he's he his business is already stressed by that because he planned on using it. I think he's um, you know, he's come forward. He's he's he's making baby steps, but he is moving forward. I
think it's a lot of it is understanding the codes and what's required. Um he he has shown good faith in trying to get the business straightened out. So I wouldn't want to shut him down >> completely. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you very much, Deputy. Uh sir,
when um when you come back next and you apply for a renewal of the license, we would really like to see a detailed >> like a plan >> plan for where the cars are going to be, how they're going to be positioned and you know, basically how you're going to
conduct the used car business. Okay. >> And how that is going to be separate from the other business. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Sure. So, let's uh I would make a motion that we table this for a month and then bring it back and see what um see where
we are. >> I would certainly support that motion. I think that's appropriate under one question. If we get it done like the plans and everything before one month, is that something we can change at the come back before the month or No, like >> we only meet once a month. >> Once a month. Okay. >> We meet we meet once a month. The third
Wednesday of of uh the month. >> Okay. So the next meeting I think is April uh >> I think 15 >> April 15th. So >> you can come back at that time. Yes. Hopefully we'll be able to uh
>> grant you that license and you can go on and sell whatever you can sell. >> Yep. Definitely. >> All right. Well, thank you very much. >> Thank you so much. >> And this hearing is concluded. >> Thank you. >> Yes, sir. Sorry. Deputy. >> Uh he also needs to apply for and obtain It's related but unrelated. He needs to get a 148 storage license for the
property, too. He hasn't done that yet. >> Okay. >> So, for the back for the background, >> you do you understand what he's what he's telling you? >> Yeah, I already know that. >> Very good. Well, thank you very much, sir. We appreciate your time. >> Thank you. >> Did Did you make note what he just said
about the He needs to get a storage. >> Yes. Okay. Just want to make sure you heard that. >> Okay. That concludes the hearings for today. The next items on the agenda are communications. This is a notification for the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverage Control
