Uh, forever, uh, City of Far Rockaway License Board, uh, meeting of August 20— excuse me, August 19, 2026, will now come to order.
In
Out
0:12
To my right is Michael Pereira, member, and I am Greg Ray, and I am the chairman.
In
Out
0:17
Um, let me stop by the open meeting law notice.

Pursuant to the open meeting law, any person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting and may transmit the meeting through any media.

The city charter, Section 9-18, mandates that all multiple-member bodies develop and adopt rules or policies for public comment.
In
Out
0:43
We have adopted such a policy which, in short, provides for citizen input on licensing board-specific matters at the beginning of the meeting.
In
Out
0:50
There is a sign-up sheet located in the back of the room.
In
Out
0:52
We have anybody?
In
Out
0:54
No.
In
Out
0:54
Okay, I'd like to say something.
In
Out
0:56
I'd like you to speak up a little bit.
In
Out
0:57
You sound a little quiet today.
In
Out
0:59
Okay, I apologize.
In
Out
1:00
Come on, Mr. Chairman.
In
Out
1:01
Uh, I'm going to start the meeting by saying we only have a 2-member board, um, tonight, so which means you have to get a unanimous vote in order for your petition to pass.
In
Out
1:12
Um, based on that, we do allow any petitioner to table their petition until the next meeting in order to ensure that you have a full, uh, board.
In
Out
1:23
So that'll be your option.
In
Out
1:24
Um, does anybody wish to entertain that option and not go forward tonight?
In
Out
1:29
Okay, then we will move forward.
In
Out
1:31
Um, we're going to now have Article 2, Old Business.
In
Out
1:34

If I If I'm not, I apologize.
In
Out
1:47
Um, and I'm going to take A and B together because there is a new alcoholic beverage license being requested and a common VIX license being requested.
In
Out
1:54
Both of these matters were tabled at the July 15, 2026 meeting at the request of the petition.
In
Out
2:00
I think at that point in time we only had a 2-member board.
In
Out
2:03

Do you have any experience in the restaurant, uh, giving out liquor business?

Uh, yes, we had a liquor license before COVID and then after COVID closed, we kind of changed it up a bit, but But now we're hoping to reopen dining, so therefore at the same place.

In
Out
3:26
Yeah, we'll do both of them.
In
Out
3:27
Okay, we can do 2 separate motions, Michael, but I'll just— we don't need to.
In
Out
3:30
After this, we'll just do 2 successive motions.
In
Out
3:33
Um, anybody out there in favor of this petition?
In
Out
3:35
Anybody opposed to the position?
In
Out
3:37
Uh, hearing none, I'll entertain a motion.
In
Out
3:39
So I'd like to make a motion to grant Asia One Incorporated, um, an all-liquor license, um, uh, 1355 South Main Street.

In
Out
4:20
Okay, okay, thank you.
In

In
Out
4:26
Uh, Article C, Taste of Paradise.
In
Out
4:31
1335 Pleasant Street.
In
Out
4:34
Ronald Renee, good evening, um, for an all-alcoholic common victualler's license.
In
Out
4:40
This matter was previously tabled quite some time ago pending completion of the renovations.
In
Out
4:45
Please state your name and address for the record.
In
Out
4:47
My name is Ronald Renee.
In
Out
4:48
The address of the establishment is 1335 Pleasant Street, Fall River, and my address is 157 Long Island Avenue, Somerset.
In
Out
4:56
Okay, um, I know you were here before and I went out and looked at this, and I do know that there were some renovations that had to be made.
In
Out
5:05
I'm told that all the renovations have been made to the satisfaction of the building department, correct?
In
Out
5:11
Yes.
In
Out
5:11
Okay, and now the licensed premises is not the basement, correct?
In
Out
5:15
No, no, no, no, no, no touching that.
In
Out
5:18
Um, we have, um, planned— the whole building department's been there, it's been used as storage.
In
Out
5:23
We're not using that.
In
Out
5:24
Okay, um, dress everything the way it is.
In
Out
5:26
Okay, main floor?
In
Out
5:28
Main floor, yes.
In
Out
5:28
Okay, I'm good with— because I went— did you go with me that day?
In
Out
5:31
I went.
In
Out
5:32
Yeah, you were there.
In
Out
5:32
You hadn't owned it yet?
In
Out
5:34
Um, no, you had just— I was, I was just about to make the transfer, right?
In
Out
5:38
That's correct.
In
Out
5:39
Correct.
In
Out
5:39
Okay.
In
Out
5:40
Yeah.
In
Out
5:40
Um, I have floor plans in there too.
In
Out
5:43
Yeah, yeah, I looked at them.
In
Out
5:44
It's right here.
In
Out
5:45
I know.
In
Out
5:45
I just want to make sure that it's on the record that he's not using the basement because there was some, there was some, um, questions at the time when we were there whether it was obviously a fire hazard because there was only one way out of there.
In
Out
5:55
That's correct.
In
Out
5:56
And so, you know, as long as they stay out of the basement and he's satisfied the building department, I know I'm okay because I was there and I know the building department has been working with Mr. Renee to try to get this done.
In
Out
6:07
And it's been a long time coming.
In
Out
6:08
So, well, what type of food?
In
Out
6:11
It's going to be Caribbean and American food that we're going to serve.
In
Out
6:17
Your title is A Taste of Paradise.
In
Out
6:18
It's a high bar.
In
Out
6:21
Paradise.
In
Out
6:21
Listen, uh, hopefully you guys can stop by.
In
Out
6:23
The grand opening is Friday.
In
Out
6:25
It's amazing what we've done, um, for the year.
In
Out
6:28
Okay, well, I'm gonna have to take your word on it.
In
Out
6:30
I, I may go by only because I want to see the change, because it needed, it needed some TLC when I was there.
In
Out
6:37
It's, it's more than TLC because we revamped the entire place and needed some work.
In
Out
6:42
So you guys are going to be happy with that.
In
Out
6:44
So with that, I'll make a motion to— can I just get the hours if you don't mind?
In
Out
6:47
Okay.
In
Out
6:48
Yes, I got the hours here.
In
Out
6:50
And, um, we, we're temporarily going to close on Monday, um, just because we're still in the process.
In
Out
6:55
But might you open at some point?
In
Out
6:57
Yes.
In
Out
6:58
So then put it in here.
In
Out
6:59
Okay, um, it's gonna be, um, from Monday through Thursday from 11, um, to 11 PM, and then from Friday and Saturday from 11 to 1:30 AM.
In
Out
7:14
And then Sunday from 11 PM to 11 PM, uh, 11 AM to 11 PM.
In
Out
7:20
Okay, so you're gonna be open to 1:30 in the morning.
In
Out
7:23
Um, so usually when I say 1:30, if we doing anything, we're just gonna close by 1, but by the time for us to clean up, just get everybody out.
In
Out
7:31
Yeah, just make sure you don't have any problems going over the time.
In
Out
7:33
Absolutely.
In
Out
7:34
Okay, so just make sure, because once we start getting those complaints, those are from neighbors or people around, then you're going to get yourself back in here.
In
Out
7:41
Okay, well, that's— I do have a question with that because, uh, 1:30 sounds late to me for a restaurant.
In
Out
7:50
Now, is it like after that midnight, maybe even 10, 8, 10 PM on Friday till 1 AM, is it going to be a nightclub type atmosphere?
In
Out
7:59
That's, that's not— because that's where you're going to run into problems with us if that happens.
In
Out
8:02
I know, I spoke with— we're doing a fine dining area.
In
Out
8:06
Yeah, so where we're not doing any clubs.
In
Out
8:09
Okay, because you have a liquor license, all— so you can't.
In
Out
8:12
But if there's trouble, but it's— you're telling us it's not?
In
Out
8:15
Okay, that's no problem.
In
Out
8:15
That was my question.
In
Out
8:16
Yeah, I spoke with, um, Glenn, with Eugene, and I can assure you guys it's not gonna happen.
In
Out
8:22
We're gonna have some activities sometimes.
In
Out
8:23
I know a lot of, um, artists.
In
Out
8:25
We do karaoke.
In
Out
8:26
Artists that's gonna come, like DJs playing.
In
Out
8:29
And then also, I mean, um, no, but you don't— he doesn't have an entertainment license as of yet, right?
In
Out
8:34
Or does he?
In
Out
8:34
I believe he does.
In
Out
8:36
You have an entertainment license?
In
Out
8:37
They have the common Vic an entertainment license that was issued by you guys earlier.
In
Out
8:42
Earlier, because he's asking for a common vic now.
In
Out
8:44
So you sure we did the entertainment?
In
Out
8:46
I'm sure.
In
Out
8:47
This is the all-alcohol common vic.
In
Out
8:50
Okay.
In
Out
8:50
Yeah.
In
Out
8:51
All right.
In
Out
8:51
But if there's anything too, I can see Courtney.
In
Out
8:54
But like I said, right now we're doing fine dining, so everybody's coming.
In
Out
8:57
You can have reservation, you can check the website.
In
Out
8:59
I think all Mike's saying— I don't want to speak for him because he's very able to speak for himself— is just try to make sure that we want— we want you to be successful.
In
Out
9:06
We really do.
In
Out
9:07
I told— I had this discussion with you.
In
Out
9:08
Yeah, we spoke.
In
Out
9:08
Yeah.
In
Out
9:10
And I do want you to be successful over there because Pleasant Street needs some work.
In
Out
9:16
I mean, we got to do a better job over there in trying to uplift the Flint.
In
Out
9:20
So I would hope that this is going to be one of the things that we're going to be most proud of over there.
In
Out
9:25
Absolutely.
In
Out
9:26
You guys will be very proud when you see the place.
In
Out
9:29
I can assure you that.
In
Out
9:30
Okay.
In
Out
9:30
All right.
In
Out
9:32
I make a motion to grant the new alcohol, all alcohol convicts license The Taste of Paradise at, um, 1335 Pleasant Street.
In
Out
9:41
Thank you.
In
Out
9:42
Um, I'll second that.
In
Out
9:43
Questions on the motion?
In
Out
9:45
Hearing none, all those in favor?
In
Out
9:47
Aye.
In
Out
9:47
All those opposed?
In
Out
9:48
All set.
In
Out
9:49
Stay, stay right where you are.
In
Out
9:50
Oh, he's back.
In
Out
9:51
One-day liquor permits, obviously.
In
Out
9:54
And I, I said, why do you need both?
In
Out
9:56
But it won't be back from the ABCC in time.
In
Out
9:58
Yeah, that's why you want it.
In
Out
9:59
That's correct.
In
Out
10:00
Okay, so he wants a series of one-day liquor permits.
In
Out
10:02
Um, I, I just want to say, ask one question that before I, um, it's, it's One Day Taste of Paradise, 1335 Pleasant Street, Ronald Renee, for the dates.
In
Out
10:15
Are those dates correct?
In
Out
10:16
Because 8/20 is Thursday, but tomorrow, but he doesn't have for Friday.
In
Out
10:21
Everything else is a weekend.
In
Out
10:22
Um, we'll probably— but if you think it's Friday, that's the 21st.
In
Out
10:27
That's the 21st.
In
Out
10:27
That's the grand opening.
In
Out
10:28
That's when We're going to cut the ribbon.
In
Out
10:30
This should be the 20th.
In
Out
10:31
Are you going to serve food and liquor?
In
Out
10:33
Yes.
In
Out
10:33
You gotta— you should put it on there then, right?
In
Out
10:36
Well, 21st.
In
Out
10:39
So you want it the 21st, not the 20th?
In
Out
10:41
Yes.
In
Out
10:41
Okay, so it says 20th.
In
Out
10:43
The 21st.
In
Out
10:44
Okay, not the 20th.
In
Out
10:45
Not the 20th.
In
Out
10:45
So the one-day liquor permits he's looking for are 8/21, 8/22, 8/23, 8/28, 8/29, 830-949596.
In
Out
11:01
Yeah, correct.
In
Out
11:01
Yes, that's right.
In
Out
11:02
Okay, and you want them from 2 PM in the afternoon to 12 AM midnight?
In
Out
11:07
That's correct.
In
Out
11:11
You do, you do know, Mr. Renee, all that you have to follow the rules and regulations relative to the detail and so forth and so on?
In
Out
11:18
Absolutely.
In
Out
11:18
Um, we do have security, and then we've been working with the, um, the Fall River Police Department as well for detailing, um, and all that.
In
Out
11:26
So, okay, we've been doing this for a long time.
In
Out
11:30
I think it's a good thing.
In
Out
11:31
I mean, I think at this point in time it'll actually give you some test— a test run before you get your full one.
In
Out
11:36
That's, that's, that's the goal.
In
Out
11:37
So let's, so let's make sure it goes well.
In
Out
11:40
Absolutely.
In
Out
11:40
I actually have another question then.
In
Out
11:42
Hello, go right ahead.
In
Out
11:43
Since he, um, is getting one-day permits for these dates that Greg, he's gonna have to get a detail.
In
Out
11:50
I mean, he's on— like, when he opens his restaurant, he's not going to be made to get a detail unless he desires one himself.
In
Out
11:57
But this is— these— he's open, he's getting these dates because he ain't gonna have his ABCC, correct?
In
Out
12:02
That's right.
In
Out
12:02
So now he's got, I don't know, about 8 dates here, 8, 9 dates.
In
Out
12:06
Um, is he going to be— is he required to hire a police detail for these dates?
In
Out
12:11
Usually on a 1-day permit we do, but it's, it's a— this is kind of unusual.
In
Out
12:15
It's a unique situation.
In
Out
12:16
One-day permits aren't for an actual restaurant.
In
Out
12:18
Yeah, that's right.
In
Out
12:20
Like an event somewhere, like we do all every month.
In
Out
12:22
So because it's within the enclosure of the restaurant, then I'm not certain.
In
Out
12:27
I can certainly get more information on that, but I don't think it's necessarily required.
In
Out
12:30
I, I was going to bring up the same thing, that he's doing this in a unique situation to operate his business.
In
Out
12:35
I would not like to— you know, that's going to be an expensive proposition.
In
Out
12:39
Yeah, yeah.
In
Out
12:39
And I try to help the gentleman.
In
Out
12:41
Well, I don't have a— I do have private security.
In
Out
12:44
Um, I'm just trying to save you because you're going to have to hire a cop every night.
In
Out
12:47
Listen, I, I am a cop, so I don't care about you.
In
Out
12:50
I'd like you to hire cops, but it's kind of crazy that he has to.
In
Out
12:53
I don't think this falls under the umbrella of hiring a cop, in my opinion.
In
Out
12:57
Well, listen, why don't we entertain a motion to allow the 1-day liquor permits and to waive the police detail portion of this unless the For a police department deems it necessary.
In
Out
13:09
Well, we don't have to waive anything.
In
Out
13:10
We could just have Heather and this gentleman speak after Heather talks to the chief, maybe.
In
Out
13:14
Like, Heather can deal with her people at the station, get an opinion, and then deal with them.
In
Out
13:19
But I'd like to put it on record that we're going to have a waiver unless them— so people know that they don't just come in and they can go, oh, I'm going to call the police department, I don't need one.
In
Out
13:28
Okay, we're going to require— you know what I'm saying?
In
Out
13:29
Okay, yeah, I, I agree, and I was going to bring up the same thing.
In
Out
13:33
This is a unique situation The ABCC approval is not going to be back.
In
Out
13:37
He's trying to do something in the summer to obviously get it going.
In
Out
13:41
He's done all the work that the city has required him inside.
In
Out
13:44
I trust that because we got the okay, and I do know I was there and they said they were not going to allow this to open until he did the work.
In
Out
13:51
He wasn't even the owner.
In
Out
13:52
Yeah, so he's done it.
In
Out
13:53
So I'll make that motion.
In
Out
13:55
I'll entertain a motion to, uh, give the one-day liquor permits for Taste of Paradise, um, for, um Uh, 81, 822, 823, 826, 8— excuse me, 828, 829, 830, 94, 95, 96.
In
Out
14:10
And to have a waiver of the police— the, the requirement of police detail unless the Floral Police Department deems it reasonable and necessary under the circumstances.
In
Out
14:19
I'll make that exact motion in those words.
In
Out
14:21
And also, the reason why I'm doing it is because we're doing promotion.
In
Out
14:24
We have families coming in since we're opening.
In
Out
14:27
So that's why we have those weekends so we can invite people to come in.
In
Out
14:31
So for example, I asked authorization to have my birthday there.
In
Out
14:35
I personally hired 2 security guards, make sure, because we were— I asked Courtney for authorization and then everything went well.
In
Out
14:43
I got security.
In
Out
14:44
I know it's gonna cost money, but knowing Flint, we want to make sure we position ourselves.
In
Out
14:49
Well, I think it's going to be good for you, Mr. Renee, to show the track record that you're already going to open.
In
Out
14:54
You got 9 dates here.
In
Out
14:55
If there's a problem here, then you know, obviously it's going to show there's some things are going to be needed.
In
Out
15:00
So yeah, and even, even if the station says no, that's fine, we'll, we'll work with the license board because on the waiver.
In
Out
15:06
But if you feel you want to hire a detail, just call the station and hire a detail.
In
Out
15:11
Yeah, you know what I mean?
In
Out
15:11
If you feel— I think he knows that he can't have a problem.
In
Out
15:14
He knows he can't have a problem over there, that it would look very, very bad on his part, which I think he's going to try to do the right thing.
In
Out
15:22
Absolutely.
In
Out
15:22
So I'm going to second that motion.
In
Out
15:24
Uh, is there any questions on the motion?
In
Out
15:26
Hearing none, all those in favor?
In
Out
15:27
Aye.
In
Out
15:27
All those opposed?
In
Out
15:28
Good luck.
In
Out
15:29
Thank you very much.
In
Out
15:31
Sure.
In
Out
15:32
No, no, that's fine.
In
Out
15:39
508-663-7344.
In
Out
15:43
Okay, thank you very much.
In
Out
15:44
Thank you very much, guys.
In
Out
15:45
Good luck.
In
Out
15:45
See you later.
In
Out
15:46
Have a good night.
In
Out
15:46
Thank you.
In
Out
15:47
Uh, Article 4, transfer of Class 2 Fortier Auto Sales and Service, Inc., 605 Globe Street, Justin Fortier.
In
Out
15:59
Could you please state your name and address for the record, gentlemen?
In
Out
16:03

In
Out
16:12
Okay, so this is, you're transferring, you're related obviously?
In
Out
16:15
Yes.
In
Out
16:15
Oh yeah, yeah, I got 3 boys and this is my oldest.
In
Out
16:19
How long you been there, sir?
In
Out
16:20
'Cause I was a little kid that was there.
In
Out
16:21
Well, next year we're coming up on 100 years.
In
Out
16:25
1927, my grandfather, uh, started a, um, gas station there, Sunoco Station.
In
Out
16:32
And I have a penny postcard of the old gas pumps with the crank handle with the glass.
In
Out
16:37
And it was, uh, quite a thing.
In
Out
16:39
Well, as a kid, I used to hang around Chupac and Father Kelly, so I know it's always been there since I've been little.
In
Out
16:44
Yeah, I'm third generation, and, uh, Justin is fourth stuff, you know.
In
Out
16:48
So I'm sure you're already involved, right?
In
Out
16:50
Obviously he's a master tech and makes me very proud.
In
Out
16:54
Any issues with the— any issues with the police?
In
Out
16:56
I don't think so.
In
Out
16:58
Anybody out there in favor?
In
Out
16:59
Anybody?
In
Out
16:59
We love to work on all the police cars too.
In
Out
17:02
Yeah, we, we do, uh, calibrations on them if they've been in an accident.
In
Out
17:06
Yeah, Mike's trying to get some business too.
In
Out
17:08
That's why he's been around for 100 years.
In
Out
17:10
I should try to get 40 around, you know.
In
Out
17:14
Um, so anyways, I'm— my dad came here with me in 1988 to transfer it to me.
In
Out
17:21
Now it's my turn.
In
Out
17:23
Good for you, Michael.
In
Out
17:25
That's wild.
In
Out
17:26
All right, motion.
In
Out
17:26
Yeah, I want to make a motion to transfer the Class 2 license for the, um, the, the father and son Fournier team.
In
Out
17:34
Okay, I'll second that.
In
Out
17:36
Any questions on a motion here?
In
Out
17:37
And then all those in favor, aye.
In
Out
17:38
All those opposed?
In
Out
17:39
Good luck, fellas.
In
Out
17:40
Thank you very much.
In
Out
17:41
We just had— there should be a repair and dealer.
In
Out
17:44
Well, we're going through the repair license too, but that's another— I think, I think, yeah.
In
Out
17:51
And what we were trying to do, Courtney explained it to me, is we're trying to increase our number of cars on the lot.
In
Out
17:58
And about 8 years ago, we bought a house behind us and knocked it down and made a much bigger lot and gave us access to the Well, wait a minute then.
In
Out
18:07
I apologize because I may have jumped the gun.
In
Out
18:08
How many cars is it, the existing license?
In
Out
18:11
14.
In
Out
18:11
14.
In
Out
18:12
So I had told them until Glenn goes out to inspect, yeah, confirms the number, that it'll have to be 14.
In
Out
18:19
And we don't think he's done that yet.
In
Out
18:21
You'll have to come back.
In
Out
18:23
Yeah, before the increase.
In
Out
18:24
Yeah.
In
Out
18:24
Okay.
In
Out
18:25
I think you got to come back just to, to, uh, change the premises.
In
Out
18:28
Exactly.
In
Out
18:29
It'll be a formality, obviously, but if you have the space, but Okay.
In
Out
18:33
All right, thank you, gentlemen.
In
Out
18:34
Okay, very good.
In
Out
18:35
Thank you very much.
In
Out
18:36
Have a great day, and to another 100 years.
In
Out
18:41
I'd like to say I'll see that, but that's not likely.
In
Out
18:44
Take care.
In
Out
18:44
Thank you.
In
Out
18:45
Uh, article 5, common victula.
In
Out
18:50
Baja's Fresh Grill, um, the 12th LLC, 933 Pleasant Street, Andrea Mata.
In
Out
18:58
So that's my sister.
In
Out
18:59
Um, she's not here.
In
Out
19:01
She's, uh— what's your name, young man?
In
Out
19:03
Name and address for the record.
In
Out
19:04
Kenan Mora, and, um, address 394 Woodbine Street, Cranston, Rhode Island 02910.
In
Out
19:11
Okay.
In
Out
19:12
And, uh, the address for the business would be 933 Pleasant Street.
In
Out
19:17
And, um, now is this an existing restaurant now?
In
Out
19:21
No.
In
Out
19:22
Well, it used to be Popeyes.
In
Out
19:23
We took it over.
In
Out
19:24
Yeah, I got you.
In
Out
19:26
Yeah, looks nice in there.
In
Out
19:29
All right, so you're asking for a common fixtures license.
In
Out
19:32
The health inspector did send a note over to the license board saying that, um, that he's okay with this moving forward tonight with us, but there's still some things that got to be done.
In
Out
19:44
You're aware of that, right?
In
Out
19:45
Yeah, we're working on, um, everything that's been pointed out.
In
Out
19:48
Okay, so, but you're not going to be able to get this license until Uh, Mr. DeSoto from the health inspector says everything's done okay.
In
Out
19:55
Yeah, that's fine.
In
Out
19:56
All right.
In
Out
19:58
And so it's a family-run operation?
In
Out
20:00
Yes, sir.
In
Out
20:00
Um, there's, um, 20, so this will be our 21st restaurant.
In
Out
20:07
So you got 21?
In
Out
20:08
Yeah.
In
Out
20:09
God bless you, young man.
In
Out
20:12
Um, questions?
In
Out
20:12
So it's going to just operate, I can see, like Popeyes did.
In
Out
20:15
What's your hours of operation?
In
Out
20:16
I'm sorry again, I keep— 10 AM 10 PM.
In
Out
20:19
10 AM to 10 PM?
In
Out
20:21
Yes, sir.
In
Out
20:21
7 days?
In
Out
20:27
Yes.
In
Out
20:28
And who's gonna— let me see, it's probably in here.
In
Out
20:36
So your sister's going to be in charge?
In
Out
20:39
Um, well, we're gonna have, uh, our manager there.
In
Out
20:44
He's, um, Darwin.
In
Out
20:45
Okay, he's going to be the person mostly in the building and around.
In
Out
20:49
Yeah.
In
Out
20:49
Okay.
In
Out
20:50
All right, anybody in favor of it, this petition?
In
Out
20:52
Anybody opposed?
In
Out
20:54
Michael, uh, make a motion to grant the common victor's license to Baja's Fresh Grill, um, at 933 Pleasant Street, to Mr. Martin.
In
Out
21:03
Thank you.
In
Out
21:04
And I will second that motion.
In
Out
21:06
Any questions on the motion?
In
Out
21:07
Hearing none, all those in favor?
In
Out
21:08
Aye.
In
Out
21:09
All those opposed?
In
Out
21:10
Good luck, young man.
In
Out
21:10
Take care.
In
Out
21:11
Thank you, guys.
In
Out
21:13
Okay, now we have a pledge of collateral.
In
Out
21:15
TTC Entertainment LLC, 1019 South Main Street, Tan Nhang.
In
Out
21:25
Tan Nhang.
In
Out
21:26
Okay.
In
Out
21:26
Yeah.
In
Out
21:27
Um, could you please state your name and address for the record?
In
Out
21:30
My name is Hong Tran, attorney for the applicant, uh, 652 Park Avenue in Worcester, Mass.
In
Out
21:34
Okay.
In
Out
21:36
My understanding on this is that this has all been approved, and in the approval process, now the bank wants the license pledged.
In
Out
21:47
Yeah, it should have closed a while ago, but the, the seller passed away.
In
Out
21:51
I heard while we're trying to close it, and the seller's attorney needed to do the probate.
In
Out
21:56
Now that the probate's done, getting ready to close, and the bank says, hey, where's the pledge?
In
Out
22:00
So that's what's getting us to come back to pledge to look at license for the, for the bank, for the loan.
In
Out
22:07
Okay.
In
Out
22:09
All right.
In
Out
22:11
I mean, it's, it's, it's a— this is the old pierogi place, right?
In
Out
22:16
Yeah.
In
Out
22:16
Yes.
In
Out
22:17
Yeah.
In
Out
22:17
1019 South Main.
In
Out
22:18
It's going to be a— oh, it's going to be like a noodle place and stuff.
In
Out
22:21
Correct.
In
Out
22:21
It's going to be a new, new pho place.
In
Out
22:24
Yes.
In
Out
22:24
That's, that's going to be successful, I think.
In
Out
22:26
I think it's going to be great down here.
In
Out
22:27
People love that.
In
Out
22:28
Yeah, yeah, it's just a— it's just a pledge of this license that wasn't done when they initially applied for the transfer.
In
Out
22:35
Um, this is just to clean up some legal proceedings in terms of the bank being protected.
In
Out
22:40
Um, I don't have any issues.
In
Out
22:42
Anybody in favor?
In
Out
22:43
Anybody opposed?
In
Out
22:45
Uh, hearing none, entertain a motion.
In
Out
22:47
Michael?
In
Out
22:47
Yes, I'd like to make a motion to grant the pledge of collateral to TTC Entertainment LLC.
In
Out
22:54
1019 South Main Street.
In
Out
22:56
I'll second that motion.
In
Out
22:57
Questions on the motion?
In
Out
22:57
Hearing none, all those in favor?
In
Out
22:59
Aye.
In
Out
22:59
All those opposed?
In
Out
23:00
All good.
In
Out
23:00
Good luck.
In
Out
23:01
May I ask one question before I leave?
In
Out
23:03
Does this get, um, after it's approved, since it's already approved with the ABCC board, does this get sent back to the ABCC board and we wait for that process again?
In
Out
23:09
I believe so.
In
Out
23:10
Yeah, got it.
In
Out
23:11
Thank you.
In
Out
23:11
I believe so.
In
Out
23:12
Am I correct on saying that?
In
Out
23:13
Yes.
In
Out
23:14
So I will send them a licensing authority certification saying that we voted to approve the pledge that gets sent to the ABCC, and then they'll reach out to you guys once they've completed their review.
In
Out
23:25
Awesome, thank you so much.
In
Out
23:27
Okay, um, transfer of license, MRS Inc., DBA Supreme Mott, 1012 Beaufort Street, Raj P. Patel.
In
Out
23:42
Good evening.
In
Out
23:43
For the record, my name is Peter Filino.
In
Out
23:45
I am a lawyer lawyer, and I am here on behalf of the applicant, Mr. Patel.
In
Out
23:50
In terms of the subject application, so the current license resides at Moe's Mini Mart on Pleasant Street, almost across the street from Leonard's Package Store, which I've been in front of you for.
In
Out
24:01
Yep.
In
Out
24:02
Uh, the gentleman at Moe's is selling the license to the Patels, who are then going to move it next to Columbus Park.
In
Out
24:10
So they own the gas station on I think that'd be BD and Bedford.
In
Out
24:14
Schiziano?
In
Out
24:15
Yes.
In
Out
24:16
So the license will be moved from Pleasant Street there.
In
Out
24:19
So I'm asking for 3 things: authorization of transfer of the license to Mr. Patel's entity known as MRS Inc., a change of manager because the current manager, the gentleman that operates Moe's, is obviously not going to be the manager anymore.
In
Out
24:33
Mr. Patel will be the manager.
In
Out
24:36
So change location, transfer, and And change of manager.
In
Out
24:40
So those are the 3 things.
In
Out
24:43
And for the record, Mr. Patel has plenty of experience.
In
Out
24:47
This is a family business for him.
In
Out
24:48
Essentially, he's involved in Economy Liquors on North Main Street.
In
Out
24:52
You see his dad sitting behind him, who owns Leonard's and has come before you as well.
In
Out
24:56
So it's a family business, and he's definitely an experienced operator.
In
Out
25:01
So, so the old Extra Mile we're talking about?
In
Out
25:03
Yes.
In
Out
25:04
Mobile gas station.
In
Out
25:04
So that's going to be a package store now?
In
Out
25:06
Uh, beer and wine.
In
Out
25:07
Beer and wine.
In
Out
25:08
And, uh, I should also note for the record that we had to go to the zoning board for this because the sale of alcohol taken off premise is not allowed in that neighborhood on Bedford Street.
In
Out
25:18
So we've previously been to the zoning board to get that authority to come before you.
In
Out
25:23
What about the gas pumps?
In
Out
25:24
What happens?
In
Out
25:24
That's going to stay the same.
In
Out
25:26
There's gonna be gas there too?
In
Out
25:27
It's gonna be a gas station.
In
Out
25:29
Oh, all right.
In
Out
25:30
Okay.
In
Out
25:31
Hours of operation changing?
In
Out
25:33
I don't think so, right?
In
Out
25:34
You're going to keep the same hours?
In
Out
25:34
No, no changes in the hours of operation.
In
Out
25:37
Okay, so you're just going to use coolers and you're going to now have beer and wine?
In
Out
25:40
Yeah, everything else is going to remain the same, correct?
In
Out
25:44
Okay, so just a transfer of license, that's all we're saying.
In
Out
25:47
I know, you know, said a bunch of things there.
In
Out
25:50
Tony Salino's also— 3 boxes checked.
In
Out
25:52
So transfer a license, then we need to change the location of license, and we need to change the manager of the license because you're transferring it from Pleasant Street over to— I'm just going to say that in my motion, that's all.
In
Out
26:05
Right.
In
Out
26:06
Okay.
In
Out
26:07
All right.
In
Out
26:07
I mean, police are good, right?
In
Out
26:09
Obviously they have other licenses.
In
Out
26:10
So, um, anybody in favor?
In
Out
26:13
Anybody opposed?
In
Out
26:14
So I'll make a motion to transfer the license, transfer the location of license, and transfer the manager of the license, um, to Mr., uh, for Mr. Patel.
In
Out
26:23
Beer and wine.
In
Out
26:24
I'll second that motion.
In
Out
26:26
Questions on the motion?
In
Out
26:27
Hearing none, all those in favor, all those opposed, aye.
In
Out
26:30
All set.
In
Out
26:31
Thank you.
In
Out
26:31
Good luck.
In
Out
26:32
Actually, if I don't say this right, nobody— please don't get upset.
In
Out
26:43
Sharab Inc., DBA Ameristore, they're 1363 South Main Street.
In
Out
26:50
This is not going to be— Bharat, Bharatuma Patel.
In
Out
26:56
Yes.
In
Out
26:56
Is that close?
In
Out
26:58
Close enough.
In
Out
27:00
Okay, name and address for the record, please.
In
Out
27:03
Uh, my house address is 39 Somerset, Mass.
In
Out
27:08
02725.
In
Out
27:10
Mr. Medeiros, please state your name and address for the record.
In
Out
27:13
Good evening, Mr. Chairman, members of the board.
In
Out
27:14
My name is Jeff Medeiros with the law firm of Burke, Espanola, Van Collin, located here in the city of Fall River, representing the petitioner, Mr. Patel.
In
Out
27:24
So we're here this evening to transfer a liquor license from Macedonia Inc. to Surabath Inc. at 1363 South Main Street.
In
Out
27:37
It's the location— is a gas station convenience store at 1363 South Main Street.
In
Out
27:44
As a matter of fact, the property abuts to Asia One, who is also here this evening.
In
Out
27:50
It's currently a gas station, beer and wine convenience store, and we have a signed purchase and sale agreement for that location.
In
Out
28:00
Mr. Patel owns the real estate that the store is located on, and the parties that currently have the beer and wine license wish to sell to Mr. Patel because they want to retire?
In
Out
28:16
Nothing's going to change.
In
Out
28:17
Nothing's going to change.
In
Out
28:18
The current license that's in Macedonia, GR, the hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 11 PM, and the Sunday hours are going to stay the same, 10 AM to 11 PM.
In
Out
28:33
So as Attorney Salino just stated, I don't think it's necessary because this is a transfer from one entity to another entity.
In
Out
28:42
But, um, Mr. Patel is going to be the manager of the, uh, the store, or manager of the, um, right?
In
Out
28:52
Same thing, beer wine.
In
Out
28:53
So yeah, the motion will just be everything that you just said, Michael, except for change of location, correct?
In
Out
28:58
Okay.
In
Out
28:59
Okay.

Um, thank you very much.

29:23
Courtney, I just noticed that when I, um, I didn't check off the change of manager because I thought it was because But on the ABCC, yeah, that's okay if you want to send me a revised— that first page tomorrow.
In
Out
29:35
And then also I tried to upload the payment for the, uh, advertisement.
In
Out
29:41
Yeah, but it's not on the, um, the City of Fall River webs— you know how the, uh, the license for the legal advertisement.
In
Out
29:49
So do I just have to drop off the check?
In
Out
29:50
You would just drop off a check to our office and then I can give you a receipt.
In
Out
29:53
I'll do that tomorrow.
In
Out
29:54
And I did see you did the abutter notification, so I added that to the file.
In
Out
29:58

30:14
This is you too?

30:15

30:18
Jeff Medeiros again, for the petitioner Danny's Dockside Inc.
In
Out
30:23
I had a conversation with Mr. Medeiros, and, um, I actually, actually had a conversation with Kara O'Connell.
In
Out
30:29
I, I'm going to recommend we table this.
In
Out
30:31
They don't— the establishment's not open, so I don't think we got— we, we should be in the business right now like we've just did with Taste of Paradise a number of times.
In
Out
30:40
You're not ready.
In
Out
30:40
They're not ready to open.
In
Out
30:42
I'm not going to act on it.
In
Out
30:43
I believe we should table it.
In
Out
30:45
Whenever she's ready, probably won't be till next year.
In
Out
30:47
I don't want to have to pay the fee again.
In
Out
30:49
We'll leave it open.
In
Out
30:50
When she comes back, we'll take it off the table.
In
Out
30:52
And I think that's the right way to go because it's consistent to what we've done to everybody else.
In
Out
30:56
That's what we're— after talking to my client and having a conversation with Mr.
In
Out
31:01
Brilliant, we understand how the city feels with regard to granting an entertainment license, as well as the fact that we are still going through the site plan review.
In
Out
31:13
Process with the City of Fall River.
In
Out
31:15
So we haven't opened yet, so therefore the point— it's moot at this point.
In
Out
31:20
So that's why we would ask that the motion— entertain a motion to table.
In
Out
31:25
Motion to table.
In
Out
31:26
I'll second the motion to table.
In
Out
31:27
Questions on the motion?
In
Out
31:29
Hearing none, all those in favor?
In
Out
31:30
Aye.

Out

Out
31:31
Thank you.

Have a good evening.
In
Out
31:33
Is there approval of me to sign?
In
Out
31:38
I don't know if I put them out there by accident, the minutes.
In
Out
31:42
That's okay if you don't.
In
Out
31:43
We'll put it next week, next month.
In
Out
31:44
It's okay if you want to table it.
In
Out
31:46
Maybe I think I forgot them in the office.
In
Out
31:47
No, we'll just hold.
In
Out
31:48
We don't even have to table it.
In
Out
31:49
We'll just move it to next month.
In
Out
31:50
They're not ready.
In
Out
31:50
That's fine.
