just open a restaurant here three months ago because I res for for 5 years so I think we guys need more businesses here so I try to open a restaurant so I save them for three months already so some of customer asking me for me to asking the license to to several call so I would be appreciated if you guys give me the chance to have them all right Mr the

point I I I can tell you that I'm going to be very upfront with you I'm not doing this right now because I've got we've gotten some some correspondence yes from the police excuse me the fire department which concerns me okay I mean we got a we got an email suggesting that for instance and I'll and I'll I'll read it as part of the record give me a moment I got to

put my hands on the actual email okay it says on 105 20 2024 we responded to a still alarm at 1335 Pleasant Street Fire case number 24-55 5552 I just wanted to express a few concerns the first one being time we pulled up at 403 a.m. in the morning to a large crowd of patrons standing in front of the address there was so many that they impeded apparatus placement which brings me to my second concern

with staying open that late with no police or fire detail in the club are they over capacity the first floor and the basement were both set up for patrons not sure if the basement is allowed but it had a bunch of tables and was being used as part of the club while there I brought in fans from L 4 to ventilate the smoke from a smoke machine that had been set up that set off the

alarms the officer from engine 9 mentioned he didn't see an exit in the rear when when he was walking around I'm not saying there's not one as he told me back at the station so I Didn't Have Eyes on that area with past tragedies and nightclubs I felt it needed to send this email so the property can be inspected I also quite frankly have issues with the fact that and and and

and maybe this is some of the city which I'm going to get to the bottom of back in July when we granted you your regular common victus license you said first of all that your hours of operation with 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. God knows why people were there at 4:00 in the morning and second of all it says you only have a total of 30 seats you have way in excess of 30

seats okay now I looked at your common victus license and you got a sea in capacity of 60 so they don't Jive so I'm going to be very honest with you Mr Le Point before I take action on this and I'm not sure about this basement because you have a plan attached to it and I don't the basement shows electrical I I I don't know how you got anybody in the basement we don't

we don't use the bman when they when the alarm get there my wife and I was there at 4:00 yes because we open the restaurant at 6:00 in the morning so we have to have people to do the food so when the alarm was there there is nobody inside well how do you open the restaurant at 6:00 in the morning when it opens at 12:00 noon we have to

prepare the food okay cuz we do 6 hours before yeah we do we do we we don't do like food we have to do food every day so it's fresh food so then we need time to do it all right well I I can tell you before before I I grant a liquid license this has got to be addressed with the police department with the building inspector as to what is going

to be used and not used because I'm not going to be disrespectful to you cuz I don't know what was happening I wasn't there okay but if you're open at 4:00 in the morning and there's a large group of people without liquor what's it going to be when the liquor comes I don't know he don't he don't see any people inside the restaurant this what was so many people doing outside that they couldn't even

set up the fire truck this was only me and my wife inside outside says right here I don't I don't have nothing to do with outside I'm sorry because there was party there I don't know he's not inside it's not inside my restaurant nobody was inside my restaurant so your contention is at 4:00 in the morning had nothing to do with you no all there's so many people that they can't set up the fire

apparatus but it had nothing to do with your inside my restaurant my say inside sir I don't know where they came from yeah I don't know either but if you but if you're common victual say you're only open till 11:00 p.m. and 5 hours later they still have so many people out in front of your establishment that they can't set up that they can't set up a fire truck my restaurant open at 11: we

do we serve breakfast I didn't say that sir your common victual is says you close at 11:00 p.m.

yes so five hours later 5 hours at 4:00 a.m. there's so many people in front of your you're saying it's not you but there's so many people in front of your your restaurant that they can't set up their fire apparatus something's not right I don't know go okay well I'm going to get to the bottom of it I I I mean I'm not I'm not in a position to vote for this this tonight if if my

colleague he wants to make a motion I'll second it but I'm going to vote no okay at this stage until I get to the bottom of what's going on over there because because this is the key this is only my opinion Pleasant Street we have to renovate Pleasant Street we have to bring that back up to a viable situation in the city of Far River exactly in the past it's gotten

out of control it's it's it was out of control in many areas not yours you used to be white spot where was just a little breakfast and lunching place where I used to go when I was a kid or younger I shouldn't say a kid but I'm not about to let this get out of control over at Pleasant Street not under my watch so I'm I'm going to be very upfront I need

to do some research on this speak to the fire department speak to the building inspector about that basement because I don't think the fire department Send this because they have anything against you personally I think they're concerned I think those are viable concerns why they saying is because the basement I I prepar the basement for me to save my stuff because I have a restaurant upstair so the basement have

to be clean when I bought that restaurant over there the basement was a mess so I renew it I put Flor on it I put everything so the the building inspector was there he asking me what I'm going to do in the basement I tell them I'm going to use the basement when I have theal license to save my stuff so I have chair over there I have table

over there I have box over there yes I have stuff over there I'm sir I'm just going to to tell you what what Lieutenant Scott Kaminsky put in here the first floor and the basement were set up for patrons at 4:00 in the morning he see the basement inste I don't understand because we don't I don't understand either that's why I'm not voting for it till I get to the

bottom of it cuz it says it was bolt set up for Patron patrons not sure if the basement is allowed but it had a bunch of tables and yeah and was used and was being used as part of the club I know understand why the gentleman wouldn't have a a reason to lie I don't tell he lie because we have table and chair inside okay in the basement so I don't

know M Mr cadiro it's I mean I I've said my part if if we have to move forward tonight I'm not I'm not approving it I I'll allow I I would appreciate if we could table it to do some more work on this to make sure that we're doing the right thing for that neighborhood right now nothing against Mr Le Point he says one thing I'd like to get some more information from both the fire

department and from the building inspector I agree I think until we have more information uh I appreciate you bringing a business to Fall River um but until we' figured this out I think we will table this okay okay I have a motion can I entertain a motion to table yes I'll make a motion to table the new all alcohol common Victor's license for a taste of paradise I will second that

there's no discussion on motion to table so therefore uh could I please have a vote I I okay two I is going to be tabled we'll be here in the next meeting and and you'll be notified okay thank you sir thank you okay uh next matter we have is B Blue Woman Hospitality in dbaa the counting house 435 Pleasant Street and I get in association for the request for new all Alcoholic Common victus they

also have a request to play live and recorded music okay you please state your name for the record good evening Mr chairman my name is Jeffrey madas an attorney here in the city with the law firm of Burke Espanola and Van colon located at 120 purchas Street in for Mass I represent the um blue one Hospitality in doing business as the couny house with me is the president of the uh blue1

Hospitality good evening uh members Mr chairman Brian Cory Jr with uh offices at 405 Pleasant Street Fall River Massachusetts okay could you just tell us a little bit about I read it in the newspaper quite some time ago but yeah unfortunately we made a substantial investment in what uh has been called on the Federal Register the most substantial uh Federal style Granite building in New England um so it's been

a very long process and a very expensive process for us um they got snagged at the last minute uh not last minute 6 months ago with the need for a very special handicap ramp so we've been wait waiting for the fabrication for that to be done um the concept is uh really meant to fit with what we see is the building profile of Pleasant Street um I represent Prime care for over 25 years

and they have over 800 employees um in that area we're excited that nor Eastern University is going to be having a nursing school and you know this whole area is growing so fitting in with that uh with with this area this very special area we've designed a upscale uh restaurant and craft cocktail lounge uh which will really uh work with uh Mr Parker and my my Distillery um which we have out of Westport

Massachusetts um so we're going to be featuring our own alcohols and um what we like to say um sharable plates that are influenced by the different uh ethnic Cuisines of Fall River they're not going to be it's not going to be Italian it's not going to be it's influenced by the different ethnic uh ethnic areas of Fall River so we have um a our food and beverage manager is from uh bini and Providence um Ocean Ocean

Cliff in Newport we've gotten our Chef um and our uh general manager has over 30 experience 30 years experience in restaurant management so we're very comfortable with the group that we've put together um conceptually inside uh we've been improved for up to 88 seats um we had a full chapter 34 review historical review done of the building um so it will be at all times under capacity at of

99 um but we do have seating available for 88 we have one private room with liquor lock with a Liquor Locker program for members which will entitle them to have um special access to that room at all uh times for their private events um preferential seing things along those lines um and we've created a beautiful 12200 ft outside area uh for the warmer months that we hope to utilize um that's

been H has a Max Capacity as you can see on the plan of for standing and sitting of 128 for seats only at 78 uh so it is it the the building's been completely saved um we're very very proud of the job that we've done with it and we hope that Fall River accepts it in with Wide Open Arms I just got a couple of EXA not not so what's the seating capacity the

seating capacity on the inside is um we're maxed out by code at 99 we're planning for 85 seats the difference to be standing oh yeah this this with the different calculations that have done um seating versus standing um we have room for 27 people at the bar 16 people at high tops 22 over to the left hand side if you look at the the drawing and an additional 16 in the back room um

additionally we have a common table which uh could seat um at maximum 12 so these are the maximum numbers that we could have um I think that'll fluctuate from event to event you know on Sunday brunches we're going to have more seating um during the week I doubt we'll have as many many seats themselves out um but we are under the the the 100 capacity that requires a retrofit for sprinklers

okay um and and now mam CLI what I he's mentioned things about outside dining and thinks is that all part of this or does he come in it's all part of this application because he's doing it all at once we're we're approving it all at once if you choose to do so okay on uh I believe it's on sheet three of the architectural plans it shows a Max a maximized seating chart for the um

uh for the outside area okay but that's again those we were asked by the building inspector Mr hathway to give him a a maximized version of uh of what we could do um and that was done by Douglas and Nino Associates um which specializes in architectural Renovations of historical buildings now I see here the manager is Tina Tina Soha she's not here is she she is not here this evening she's somewhere stuck

on uh Route 195 or 95 trying to get here what's what's her um background in uh she's the liquor industry she has a degree from uh a two-year degree an associat degree from Johnson and Wales and over 25 years in culinary arts um right now she's an owner of a very successful cabinet company but prior to that she was um one of the directors of of the culinary program at Rhode Island

hospital we our manager manager the general manager of the facility um for day-to-day operations is a leyah Moretti Who currently manages a very successful restaurant in Providence Tina will be taking on all the responsibility the she understands that okay yeah that is correct yeah she she understands and and and and how much time if you can speak I mean I know both of you from the bar

association obviously so I'll take you representation now how much time is she planning on us being at the establishment on a week toe basis at least at least 40 hours a week yeah uh we have we have the whole building um so it we are we are approved for our other for other offices within that building um so it's not just housing blue one Hospitality the second the second floor are other offices so

they'll somebody be on will be on site our planed roll out is um to start with our dinner program um our prep times will start approximately 2:00 in the afternoon and um you know we'll have very limited Services service hours for the first two months um after that we plan to add in a lunch and um we have agreements with within that compound for to provide some catering services and operation are

going to be what maximized at 1:00 a.m.

on Thursday Friday Saturday um the rest of the week um we're looking at flexible hours but generally we'll we'll be the latest we' be there would be midnight we're closed on every Tuesday what time do you open on Thursday Friday and Saturday on Thursday Friday Saturday would be open for it to the public at 3:30 and what was the other hours I'm sorry Monday um I don't are you open on

Monday Tuesday Wednesday they got Monday not Tuesday oh on on we're only closed on Tuesdays um we're going to be open for brunch every Sunday at 10: closing at 10 p.m. on Sunday and then we're going to be open our actual hours of operation we're at we're going to be open to the public at 11: every day and closing appro 12 at 12: or 1:00 a.m. you just told me 3:30 said 3:30

that's just so he don't so he doesn't have to come back to alter the license once they get up and running he expects the hours of operation to be to include lunchtime to include lunch time so what so what are you asking for I'm asking for license what you're asking for now that would allow allow Al alcoholic beverages to commence um as early as possible on Sunday which I believe is

10:00 a.m. and then on every other day we'd be looking for it to commence at 11:00 a.m. and what time are you closing midnight on every day except you want one Thursday Friday and Saturday we we would be looking for 1:00 a.m. so midnight on Monday and Wednesdays and then Thursday Friday and Saturday at 1:00 a.m. and Sunday at 10 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 10: p.m.

correct Monday and Wednesday 11:00 a.m.

to what midnight Midnight midnight and then Thursday Friday Saturday 11 1 11:00 a.m. to 1 a.m. Kev you have that I I wrote it down but I do have I just again I'm not trying to be a pan in the rear end here you get the application says your seating capacity is 65 with your o occupancy number less Le than 99 correct so we're actually going to have seats for that many seats in the building so

that's the that's always the dichotomy right the occupancy of the building is actually larger than the number of seats that we have so utilizing both a standing in and a seating capacity that's our that's you know that we're saying we're going to have this many seats but we are always going to be under 99 people in the building but you just said before it was 85 so which one

is it so with with the seating that they set up for different events all toll you have about 85 with the standing it still goes below 99 I'm okay with that so it's not the seating capacity is not 65 it's it's it's 85 it's 85 that's what I'm trying to get it CU application say otherwise it's 85 that might have been my mistake Mr chairman no that's that's okay I'm

just trying to make sure we have it right but according to the engineering there is enough um emergency exits to accommodate the the people that are in the Bild I got you m cadero questions when are you going to be opening 12 weeks ago um we um we we've actually had um our last quote and F Well last qu quote came in and we have a absolute hard fabrication date um for 10 days from

now I got the alcoholic beverage commission so it's not going to be done well could be I soon 10 it should be shipping from Louisiana 10 days from now what should be my handicap okay I'm going to be sending this off tomorrow if I can get to it tomorrow I'm going to try it yeah I already had discussions Madam with um uh and I'm going to be looking for a temporary occupancy permit based on the

existence of the existing handicap ramp that that I don't get involved with but I'm going to you can't do anything to get I know you want your alcohol and as quickly as I can to no you're very welcome but I just wanted to let know I can't get it in 10 days nope we I have become if nothing more of a realist over the past six months it's not we have we have police approval

sideways and I'm going to take the personally going to take the representation I don't know of of council and I know Mr Cory's a member of the ball relative to the manager and her qualifications and the time she's going to be spent there um so I she better I am uh I'm content so we're going to make three different motions cuz we're going to do the manager today or yeah we're going to

manner man manager apologize Santa Cristo Club 387 Hope Street Michael Souza could you please state your name and address for the record Circle yes sir Michael Souza 103 SX Street for River Massachusetts 02720 come down from the St Michaels area over to the Santa Cristal area huh I lived on Howard Street for all my life so I just built a brand new house so but still my club it's okay I was born on mberry street

so um we were neighbors then um thises it they want to change the managerial to you yes okay uh Mr Susan what's your familiarity with the liquor business well I had a business not here in Portugal when in my 20s so okay and I work construction what what how many hours are you going to be spending at the club probably an hour or a day that's it on weekends obviously more I'm not

going to lie and say I'm going to be there 5 hours I working sh how how um what's the hours of operation right now 8 until midnight and on weekends I think it's Sunday I think it's from 10: to 12:

I listen I have nothing against you doing it Mr sou I know about Portuguese clubs and it's all basically volunteer and so forth and so on but normally this board would require um a manager to be there at much greater time than one hour a day like I said I'm not going to lie on weekdays no I appreciate the fact you're being CH on the weekends yeah I'll probably be four or five hours we

have Cooks we have uh cuz it's a nonprofit organization we organize money to help people like building that need Portugese people that need so that's what the that's what they always do I know I know I know your Club all right okay so um it's just that that's I'm not going to I'm not going to lie I mean is that something that's not I mean I know that the I thought their

hours were more a little bit more limited it's every day 8 to midnight in the morning that's what the hours are there they don't stay up until midnight it's just there cuz it's there because it's the old license in in reality 7:00 they close all right so normally you need somebody on the premises who's been more than an hour a week I know that yeah it's nothing against Mr at

I am already so if something you may be but if something should ever happen it's on you and if you're not there it's still on you when it comes to this board if somebody comes in if there's a problem there which I'm sure there hasn't been many and the police go there and you're not there there's a problem that's why that's why I'm the one that's doing it because I'm the I'm a foreman

at work I can leave work whenever I have to and it's only 19 members and it's a memb only Club it's a memb only Club it's only 19 members well I can also have guests yeah it's not like I want to deny it because I'm sure Mr sus is a very uh conscientious person and the club probably has not many problems as you said it's not a good practice for this

board to allow somebody so how many hours do you want me to be there I can I can be as many as you want sir you tell me and I can guarantee you I'll I'll do it cuz they really need it okay well I'm going to how about this how about we require you to be there in some capacity 25 hours a week I can do more than that

like I said on a weekend I play cards there on a weekend I don't want you to hold yourself CU I'm saying for a total of 25 hours a week because I'm giving you that based on the fact that you have a expanded liquor license hours but I know that the Portuguese clubs don't stay open to even closer to the 12:00 J I'm very very aware of that so if we can

if we can dict take that that you're going to spend at least 25 hours per week as the manager and beond premises and we can put that on the record and I think that I'll be okay with that I think I can like like I said Saturday and Sunday 8 hours8 hours and then whatever you don't have to tell us what just 25 hours okay it's fine y all right

but I don't want to lie that's why I'm saying the truth yeah make a motion condition that I would entertain a motion that we allow um uh Mr soua to become the manager of the Santa crysto Club at 387 Hope Street conditioned upon him spending a minimum of 20 hours per week on premises appreciate it you guys 20 or 25 I say 25 25 I'm going to give you a copy of the

rules and regulations I happen to have some in here so that'll be okay that'll be good for you t m make that motion I'll make a motion to approve the change of manager for Santo Cristo Club to Michael Souza uh conditional upon you spending 25 hours there a week um I'll second that a motion anybody in favor anybody oppose any questions on the motion hearing none all those in favor I I all is opposed good

somebody because I like the property and I want to keep the property I mean it's it's the the place FL is the restaurant and the and they have a bu okay perfect so I found these people that were really interested in the business I was going through the whole process and I encountered the situation with the builder a building department and also the fire Mars and he says you had to

take the water meter separated from the apartments so it say only one unit in the in the restaurant you see cuz it was the GU was for the whole complex so we need to separate the water meter for the rest restaurant and I had to put the pullovers the electrical pullovers in in order to rent it they had somebody else in there I don't know about the water and sewer you probably have to meet the

fire C but the water and sewer I don't not sure why you can pay the bill but I don't want to speak for them well it's because the consume of water vares from the business to the people doesn't matter if the same person pays the whole bill but I'm not going to get into what the well this is what they said to me and I researched the money and everything I we spent already $113,000 and the

pullers and we had the master conso in there and I PID the the the the situation with the uh so I want to keep the license because I got people interested to rent it and I can sell the license to them and I can being keep being uh there's 18 there's probably over 15 licenses available for free it's my luck I guess I don't know no I I just want you know this is the

this is the point sir this is the point you can't hold your license without using it it's against the law okay and so we are calling people to tell them they have to do something with their license I understand you're paying your your your fees no one's contesting that you're not but like we just had somebody in here last month and we gave them till the end of the year or we're not going

to renew their license there's no reason to so we got to have either going to have to come in and listen this is your first time in so I have no issues with saying that we'll re renew your license but I can tell you that I'm not sure what date to me the latest March after March that's it you got to use your license it's not particular to you sir it's people that

have pocket license licenses they got to be they got to be used because there's an abundance of licenses available in the old days I used to own the club you know the club next door the one next door yeah how you st that oh the the Portuguese yeah yeah but you can't hold licenses anymore at one point in time they were very valued where you could sell your license there's an abundance

of them now there's 15 of them people can walk in the door and get a license so people got to use them can't just hold on to them there's no reason Reon to okay so I mean I'm I'm honest with you I'm in a process he was the person that the people that were involved in this yeah we're not taking your license today but I'm going to tell you that I I don't

know Madam Clerk and I'll I'll I'll also ask Miss cadero I know we gave the other people to the end of the year but they had held as what how many years they had they closed quite a while all right he's two years I I personally would would authorize unfortunate part is going to have toay a whole year I'm going to put it on the agenda for our March meeting you're going to

have to have some activity by then you got to come back here but unfortunately you're going to have to pay for the whole year anyhow now but on March if there's not an application before us to utilize that I'm only speaking for myself I don't want pocket licenses in Fall River it's it's it's not worth it it's not there's no value to them anymore I know why people were holding them because in the year's past you

could sell them and you can make money God BL that's illegal too per se but but it is what it is that's what the people were selling their businesses so I'm going to make a motion so let me ask you this how I I just I just want to look into this Avenue uh what did said that I rented to some other the people that are interested in the place and they can

request their the license for you can transfer I that's that's my thing yeah you can ask that's what I'm going to do yeah you can do it yeah but he's telling you it's got to be done by the March 25 meeting full full to utilize your license I got until March you got to have a you got to have an application in for a new owner or yourself to reopen

okay so this going to be in November right we get all that yes information my insurance build ability and all that stuff I always do that and from that only have march to to um maybe I'm finding somebody but but you've been close for two years I it's not only you you that's mon close and no close cuz I I I I rent the place sir if you want to

open up you can open up you can pay in January you open up I'm not telling you to go sell it I'm not telling you to find anybody you open up okay if you don't open up or we don't have an application in front of us I'm only speaking for me there's three members I'm speaking for me that's it no one's holding licenses for years mhm waiting to find an owner for years or am I going

to open back up for years no that's that's no more I understand that because I PID tough dollar for that license but that was in 2003 I think it was 2003 2005 2005 I think it was and back then I mean there was no licenses in here I trust me I but things evolved and change and the economy is but if you want to open up and you meet all the

requirements you can open up you don't have to sell I right now you I the restaurant and everything is is clean everything is there just to start key operation well you can but but you know I cannot put all the time in there but I've been doing this like I cater people go over there and they bring the food and I bring I sell my liquor but it's not all the time I do it

for you know uh chins and better be careful because it may not be legal if you don't have the fire apparatus you get yourself an awful lot of trouble everything everything that I have right now is perfectly legal with the fire department and with everything you have they ask me because I I I I bought a place like that it's okay if somebody is going to other than me is going to use it then they

make the the the um the inquire to put all those pullers and everything which I did I don't know how that works sir I don't I don't that's what they you can't have somebody other than you it's either legal or it's not sorry to say it's not it's all legal for you but not it's illegal for someone else if the the places meets all the requirements then it's going to meet all requirements for

the next person yes well then you don't have to do anything you can just either open up or find a new buyer uh yeah maybe I explain say wrongly but so does unfortunately un with the I'm sorry sir what I'm trying to tell you is this yes you've held out your license either you're open or you're not yes I got I don't know what you are because you're saying you're closed for 2 years and now

you're saying you're opening for baptisms or what have you I don't know what you're doing out there that's got to be straightened out they can't just open a weekend here or a weekend there that's not what the license is for you have ours operation you're supposed to be open okay I understand that it's not just for you sir we brought somebody in here last month too and if there's any other ones

we're going to bring them in because there's no longer a need to have a pocket license first it's illegal second of all there's no reason anymore people can walk into the government center and fill out an application we have over 15 it might be 18 but we have over 15 available to the general public so you're going to have to take some type of steps to either open it up yourself get a new buyer but something

has to be acted upon okay okay I got you all right all right so I will entertain a motion to continue this matter until M our give them till the April meeting okay till the April meeting I'll make a motion to uh table this matter to our April 2025 meeting I will second that anybody in favor anybody oppose any questions he none all those in favor I so it'll be the April

can't name anybody temporary um I did he say himself did Dave say he was going to be the one temporary yeah yeah he yeah you can you can you have to they have to choose somebody in the in in the absence of the individual who doesn't want to do it anymore and it's not official till it becomes official with us but letting us know that somebody is responsible for the daily operation of the place is okay

cuz things happen unfortunately okay I just didn't think we could act on on it it can happen but we can't officially name anybody temporarily without I and maybe I'm wrong we can't officially name anybody as manage without the proper application well they they're going to hold it in the interim yeah you can because somebody has to take the responsibility and with that being on record that's what you're going to act

on that letter when we get a full application it'll be the next person but in the meantime I think we can acknowledge and place it on file I don't think we can vote on a new manager no it's even a temporary one okay I don't maybe I'm wrong I don't know I we we we've done it in the past but whatever we do you've read the letter out loud yeah we going to acknowledge and place
