36:00in particular

36:02once receiving a designation as a

36:08The rules particular to the nightclub

36:10were mentioned and

36:15it looks like it could be a bad start.

36:19They're approved as a nightclub.

36:23The rules were spelled out and given to

36:26the proposed manager. In fact, I had him

36:28pull it up on his search engine and

36:31email himself a copy of the rules and

36:34regulations

36:36prior to leaving the business when we

36:39conducted a view with the commission.

36:42I uh also made mention that now with the

37:26plan

37:27of how anybody below the age of 21

37:31is to be identified not only upon entry

37:34but clearly identified while on premise

37:38so that anybody under the age of 21 is

37:41not in possession of alcohol

37:44that also has not been complied with.

37:49Uh I'll ask the proposed applicant. Have

37:51you Corey checked your security

37:53personnel?

39:59>> since we still are going to be serving

40:01food from, you know, we're from 5 or to

40:04to 10 or 5 or 5 to 11. Um, do we still

40:08need security for that time?

40:09>> Yes, you have received that designation

40:12on your occupancy permit. Okay.

40:13>> That is a rule and regulation of this

40:15commission. You can tailor it based on

40:20now obviously you want to be a

40:22restaurant but you also want to be a

40:24nightclub.

40:24>> Y

40:25>> where before you were a you were a

40:27restaurant and then at whatever the

40:29witching hour you wanted to become a

40:31nightclub.

40:34designated full-time as a nightclub.

40:37>> Okay.

40:38>> The rules and regulations don't change

40:40according to the time.

40:41>> Okay. So, if you want to be a re during

40:44your restaurant hours, you still are

40:48required to have security personnel.

41:54>> I do understand.

41:56>> Okay. And we're clear on what is a

41:59promoted event, what is not a promoted

42:12they're getting a portion of the door,

42:13portion of the bar proceeds, uh, cover

42:36alcohol,

42:37>> everyone in the unit, it'll be visible

42:40to

42:40>> Perfect.

42:41>> So, you got a lot on your plate.

42:43>> Yeah, I see that.

42:44>> And you got to set the tone.

42:46>> Yeah.

42:47>> Right away.

42:47>> Yeah.

42:48>> You know,

42:49>> your suggestions. I'm I I'll be more

42:52cautious on the on the promoter events,

42:54but um from now on, you guys will

42:56receive an email months in advance.

42:58>> Thank you.

43:00>> Yeah. So, through the chair. Yeah. I

43:02just want to make a suggestion. I know

43:03you said Wednesday 5 to one and then the

43:04other dates, but why don't you just go 5

43:06to two

43:08>> to keep it?

43:09>> It's just that

43:11it's just that on Wednesday, we're not

43:13going to be I mean, that's usually not

43:15the time that people usually try to go

43:17out. I know, but even if you said 5 to

43:19two and you decide to close at 1. Oh,

43:21yeah. Like you could, you know what I

43:22mean? As opposed to like because it

43:24sounds like the other nights you're

43:25closing at 2 am with the exception of

43:27Wednesday. Yeah. At 1. So, just a

43:29suggestion. You might want to just say

43:31>> Yeah. Can you put 5 to 2,

43:33>> please?

43:34>> For Wednesday.

43:35>> For Wednesday,

43:35>> what are the hours?

43:37>> 5 to 2. If different date was Wednesday

43:40commission

43:41>> 5 to 2 a.m.

43:41>> Yeah. So, it just needs to be that would

43:43need to be approved by the commission on

43:45a vote. But, um,

43:48it's Adrian, correct? Adrian.

43:50>> Adrian, uh, we're clear on also you have

43:52to establish and submit to the license

43:54commission a plan

43:58>> of how to what what your plan is to, uh,

44:00not only identify

44:0421 plus.

44:05>> Yeah. But what is the plan that once

44:08they're inside your building that that

44:10individual is clearly visible to

44:12bartenders, waiters, waitresses, bottle

44:15hosts, security,

44:17this person is either of legal drinking

44:19age or not of legal drinking age. So,

44:23whatever plan you want to, whatever plan

44:25you have uh thought of, that needs to be

44:29spelled out, memorialized, and sent to

44:32the license commission. What do you have

44:35planned? If I can ask you now, what's

44:37your plan to

44:40identify?

44:41>> So, realistically, it's going to be more

44:4321 plus, but we're just putting the 18

44:46plus for the Thursday. We were going to

44:47close the the bar cuz it was going to be

44:50more so um um more so

44:56not close the bar, but it was going to

44:57be more so like soda refreshments and

44:59not have any alcoholic um presence

45:02involved for those type of events and

45:05then

45:07have a wristband on 18 and under minors.

45:11>> Okay. So, it's going to be a wristband

45:12program.

45:13>> Yeah. Anybody uh is it going to be

45:15anybody of age will have the wristband

45:19or anybody under 21 will have the

45:21wristband?

45:22>> So, there's going to be a wristband for

45:24anybody under 21.

45:28>> Um over Yeah, under 21.

45:29>> I would go with somebody over because

45:31it's going to be very easy to cut that

45:32wristband off

45:34>> and

45:34>> over 21.

45:35>> Yep. Um

45:38and

45:40bottle service. We got the everybody's

45:43tip certified. Um, but we got the bottle

45:45hose, we got the cages.

46:02>> We have six bottle hosts.

46:03>> Six bottle host.

46:07all tip certified and then we'll have

46:09that prepared. Obviously, it ranges on

46:11the the date um what day they they work.

46:14You know, obviously Thursday, we're not

46:16going to um have eight, you know, six

46:19because that's a sore day, but let's say

46:21on a Saturday, more busy.

46:23>> Yep.

46:24>> Yep. As I said, it's more of a

46:28cautionary advice.

46:29>> Yeah.

46:30>> You you're the proposed new manager.

46:33>> Yeah. Uh you're going to need to set the

46:36tone uh that under your direction. This

46:39is the way bottle service is going to

46:40be. You guys are going to follow my

46:42directions. Um make sure that your

46:45security you're the buck the buck stops

46:48with you.

54:27>> yeah, we understand. Sergeant Nem did go

54:30over with your partner about uh various

54:33requirements if you obtained a liquor

54:35license, including having everyone tip

54:37certified, proper storage of the

54:40alcoholic beverages, it have to be in

54:42the lock. Uh and I I think it was made

54:45very clear uh at the meeting that

54:47Sergeant Nem explained all of that. Uh

54:50>> yeah, absolutely. We will be

54:51accommodating that. Commissioner Fisher,

54:53>> no questions.

54:54>> Commissioner Cruz,

54:55>> no questions.

54:56>> Sita,

54:57>> uh, just piggybacking on what you had

54:59mentioned, Commissioner, um, uh, in

55:01discussion in the view today, there was

55:04some discussion regarding

55:06possibly building out a larger storage

55:08area. Uh if if in fact that does happen,

55:12you probably probably need a uh permit

55:16to do that renovation to make that added

55:19storage space on that back wall, not

55:21underneath the bar, but al along that

55:24back wall. And um just that issue about

55:27the uh entertainment.

55:28>> Yeah. And and the other issue that arose

55:31this morning when we were there was

55:33whether you have whether you have an

55:34entertainment license and and the

55:36requirement you may need an

55:38entertainment license if you're going to

55:40have music, TV, radio or anything of

55:42that nature.

55:43>> Yes, I'm I apologize. I was unaware of

55:46the background music and radio

55:47requirement for the um entertainment

55:49license. Since the walkthrough this

55:51morning, I have applied for that. Okay.

55:53>> Um so we will be addressing that

55:55immediately.

55:56>> My phone. Okay. All right.

55:58Is there anyone else that has any

56:00questions or comments regarding this

56:02application?

56:04>> Hearing none. Motion to approve.

56:06>> Second.

56:06>> Commissioner Cruz.

56:25>> Yes. 23 237. Cambridge LLC DBA shell 237

56:30Cambridge request for package store malt

56:33and wine license. Let the record show

56:35that we also did the view this morning

56:38at the premises. Good morning gentlemen.

56:41>> Good morning.

56:42>> Please identify yourself and where you

56:43live.

56:44>> Attorney Kevin Quinnland for the

56:46applicant.

56:47>> My name is Rank Patel.

56:51>> Tell us about your application. Council

56:53>> morning.

56:53>> Good morning.

56:54>> Thank you. Um, so I am representing 237

56:58Cambridge LLC um on this beer and wine

57:01application um for the store located at

57:03237 Cambridge Street in Worcester. It's

57:06um an ongoing gas station uh convenience

57:08store that's been there for I understand

57:10about 30 years. The applicant purchased

57:13it um in July of this year. There's

57:16currently no beer and wine license, but

57:18again is an ongoing concern. The owners

57:20are Shruidin Patel and Damisha Patel.

57:24Shrudin also has a store with a beer and

57:26wine license in Ashland and Demisto

57:28Patel has a store with a beer and wine

57:30license at 1099 Grafton Street in

57:32Worcester. Neither [snorts] location has

57:34ever had an issue with their beer and

57:36wine licenses. I'm told the registered

57:38agent, Mr. Nage Patel, um will be the

57:42day-to-day manager physically in person.

57:44He'll be there between five to six days

57:46a week for 5 to eight hours dividing his

57:48time between that location at Cambridge

57:50Street and the other store he manages

57:52which is in Oxbridge, Massachusetts.

57:56Um they tell me the store is equipped

57:58with an automatic lock um on the door

58:00and there will be one on the beer and

58:02wine coolers. They have a policy

58:04currently and it will and this will be

58:06going forward as well. No more than

58:07four, sometimes no more than three but

58:09never more than four customers inside at

58:10a time. Um I would suggest that would

58:13make it difficult for you know underage

58:15persons to obtain surreptitiously any

58:17alcohol. Um they will have a twoerson

58:20staff open to close for safety reasons.

58:22Um currently they have 15 cooler doors.

58:27Um and they are going to be adding a

58:30total of uh six extra doors if the

58:32application is granted for serving

58:34alcoholic beverages. Um I understand all

58:36employees are tip certified. There are

58:39only going to be three employees. Um,

58:42and none of neither the owner, the

58:43manager, or the the employee has any

58:46criminal record, I'm told. Um, there's

58:47no violations in any of these locations

58:49by any of their family members. Um, I

58:51know there I represented um the manager.

58:56This was gez more than 5 years ago, I

58:58would say. My time flies. And there was

59:00a violation on a tobacco tobacco

59:02violation, but it was a flavored wrap

59:04that the distributor had accidentally

59:07apparently distributors supposed to be

59:08aware of this and screen certain things

59:09out. This was right after the change to

59:11no flavored tobacco. I was able to

59:13obtain one of these wraps and the flavor

59:15was like an alternate tobacco flavor. It

59:16wasn't fruity. It wasn't minty even. It

59:19so I could see, you know, it really

59:20wasn't it certainly didn't violate the

59:22spirit of the law which I think was

59:24>> not before the boy.

59:25>> Yeah. So they they took that very

59:27seriously and you know they were unable

59:28to sell tobacco for a time period. So

59:30they they understand that you know the

59:31significance of of if there were to be

59:33any violations certainly they tell me um

59:36to that point they're going to check

59:37every ID regardless of age whether you

59:39look 21 or 121. They're scanning the ID.

59:43Um [clears throat] it's family run

59:45business. They don't expect high sales.

59:47They'll car can be carrying limited

59:48stock. Um, and you know, I've seen them

59:51in operation and my law office used to

59:53be across from one of their locations

59:55and um, they run a pretty tight ship.

59:57There certainly won't be any pro

59:58promoted events and I don't think the

1:00:00sergeant will will be hearing about any

1:00:02issues from this location. As far as the

1:00:04the factors,

1:00:06um, there are no beer and wine stores in

1:00:09the immediate vicinity and this will

1:00:10allow uh, the convenience of grabbing a

1:00:14bottle of wine when filling up a gas

1:00:15tank. I understand that they say that

1:00:16there a lot of their regulars are walk

1:00:18there. So this will be added convenience

1:00:20for them. Um with respect to the

1:00:22appropriateness of the location. Um

1:00:25there's no schools or parks there. It

1:00:26basically seems to be to me a normal

1:00:29urban setting. Um I'll come back to uh

1:00:33the number of licenses, but with respect

1:00:35to adequate parking again they're only

1:00:36going to have at the most four customers

1:00:38at a time and they already have a

1:00:39parking lot. So there I don't think

1:00:40there shouldn't be any issue with that.

1:00:41Um

1:00:43>> I don't think they'll involve

1:00:45spirits across the street in Australia.

1:00:49[laughter]

1:00:50>> Not until October.

1:00:52Um,

1:00:54with respect to number five, the size of

1:00:56the proposed operation. Again, there's

1:00:57an ongoing store there. Then, this

1:00:59family knows well how to how to run

1:01:02convenience stores. Um, they're not

1:01:04expecting any additional noise because

1:01:06there won't be anything other than

1:01:07people coming in, going out, and getting

1:01:09gas. Um

1:01:11my understanding is that their family

1:01:13has a good reputation. They very run

1:01:15everything very professionally. Again

1:01:16there no history of violations and um

1:01:19with respect to the number of locations

1:01:22um apparently within a mile and a half

1:01:25there are five. Webster Square package

1:01:28at point4, G&M Liquors at.5, Big Bob's

1:01:32Wine and Spirits at 6, Austin Liquors

1:01:351.1, and Randall package at.3 as well as

1:01:38a number of other

1:01:41within the 2.5, but these my

1:01:43understanding is they're all full liquor

1:01:44licenses. There's not a beer and wine

1:01:46license anywhere in the area. Um, so

1:01:49because I think that they're going to be

1:01:51responsible with this license and for

1:01:53all the reasons that I've outlined, I'd

1:01:54ask the board to uh grant the permit.

1:01:56>> I want to congratulate you on addressing

1:01:58the bellyonus requirements.

1:02:01>> Is there anything else you like to say

1:02:03your client would like to say?

1:02:06>> No.

1:02:06>> No. Commissioner Misha.

1:02:08>> Uh, no. No questions. I agree you guys

1:02:10have done a um

1:02:13great job with your other

1:02:15establishments. So

1:02:17>> wish no questions.

1:02:19>> Sergeant Neil,

1:02:20>> no issues.

1:02:20>> Anyone present online have any questions

1:02:22or comments?

1:02:24>> I think you've addressed the questions

1:02:26and the comments. You address the

1:02:28balonus requirements. We've seen the

1:02:29store. Uh we're satisfied with the view.

1:02:32Um and with that, I'll make a motion to

1:02:35approve.

1:02:36>> Second.

1:10:34was because we installed new equipment

1:10:36uh in the kitchen. Uh it's BBQ has

1:10:40specialized equipment that needs to be

1:10:42installed. So we had to do the hood

1:10:44exhaust system and fire prevention that

1:10:46had to be redone which we've done and

1:10:49the new plan according to the uh

1:10:51amendments required by the fire

1:10:53prevention department uh has been is

1:10:55being developed and we expect it within

1:10:57the week actually. Uh we've I I'm

1:11:00working with Mr. uh Zachary Pierce um

1:11:04and he's uh set up a final inspection of

1:11:08September the 28th of this month. Now,

1:11:12um, as you can understand, it's very

1:11:14hard to schedule, uh, inspection with

1:11:16the fire department. So, I I took the

1:11:18liberty of working directly with Mr.

1:11:20Pierce to set this thing up with the

1:11:22anticipation that the plan will be done

1:11:23within the next few days, which I've

1:11:25been assured will happen.

1:11:26>> Okay. So,

1:11:27>> I've also taken the next step of working

1:11:29with uh, contacted Mr. Leon Sauier of

1:11:32the food permit uh and he already

1:11:35confirmed that once I get the final

1:11:37inspection done that he will schedule a

1:11:40food permit final inspection within 48

1:11:42to 72 hours. So we're on track right now

1:11:45but for the slight delay which if the

1:11:47board wishes I could you know

1:11:49extrapolate that a little bit more. It's

1:11:51a little boring.

1:11:52>> Uh it's more litigation than anything

1:11:54else but

1:11:54>> So it is the lack of permits that have

1:11:56held you from opening up.

1:11:58>> Um

1:11:58>> but you are intending right now. Yes,

1:12:00you are attending.

1:12:01>> Yes. Yes, we are. Yeah, we've been

1:12:03actively doing it since

1:12:05>> uh probably about four or five months

1:12:06ago after the litigation problem with

1:12:08the corporation ended.

1:12:09>> Sure.

1:12:10>> So, again, I I apologize fully for that,

1:12:13but we're on track right now. We're

1:12:14looking to open within the next four to

1:12:16six weeks, give or take.
