the the no singles and the change in floor plan to be reflected as conditions or yes and Danny I'd like to make a note on the face of the license that they have to have the floor plan available for

security uh held by an individual Lazaro Oriana releasing The Pledge held on Camy 1975 Corporation doing business as melodia at 10:45 Saratoga Street in East Boston good thank you and item number two for a vote the board had deferred this transactional item to evaluate the public need of a license at this location tandav Corporation doing business as old Harbor Market located at 334 East 8th Street in South Boston has applied for a retail Package Store wines and M beverages license uh manager deani Patel Closing Time 900 p.m thanks um I had requested some extra time so they could take a look at all the retail licenses in this ZIP code which I know is um a neighborhood consisting of um I don't know what You' call them smaller neighborhoods within the larger South Boston area um the the app applicant testified that um it's under new ownership it's a a true Neighborhood Market that offers everything from um organic food to household items to um you know all sorts of um beverages right now non-alcoholic and that their plan would be to offer craft beer in a variety of wines um within a certain dollar amount um taking a look at the neighborhood as a whole and this um very specific vicinity um I do see that they met the definition of public need for this type of application um I am cautious as we move forward and receive additional applications for similar types of things but I the attorney and the applicant was able to differentiate themselves from the other applications we um received it I did dig into the testimony I did dig into the other applications in the area there was overwhelming support we had a petition with over 101 signatures the District city council and the state senator both weighed in with their support um this is a an operator that I think understands the responsibilities that come with adding beer and wine to his location um they've agreed to um I think my notes are they're going to have an ID machine and [Music] um and they're not going to sell single serving um beers I think the U emphasis on local Brands is an attractive offering to the neighborhood um and they're not getting rid of any of the foods and other things like I said before so all of those things together I do think they meant meet the the definition of public need and my vote would be to approve I agree with all your points I've been skeptical not only of this application but even the couple before um what really swayed me was was you know I would have been listening to you know arguments and opposition but there just haven't been any um and without the weight of something specific like that I don't think I have enough just on what I'm seeing to you know my own bition go against this one so even though I feel like it's close um I think it's a yes um are we going to do the same kind of floor plan requirement and come back if they're going to change and all that kind of stuff yes if this was approved by us I was going to ask to put that on the face of the license and just to get on the record why is that when our inspectors go out I want them to be able to pull that floor plan and make sure that this isn't creeping into something more than they testified they were going to have at the hearing everything makes sense I approve right so granted it sounds like we're uh ter where we adding the conditions for no singles and the no change and floor plan without board approval as well as asking them to have the floor plan uh in place at all times for inspections great then it is approved with the conditions just mentioned those are all the items before the board today that will adjourn this hearing thank you all and enjoy the rest of your day thank you you thank you
