Present before the Board: Richard Bowen, Town Counsel
Diana Silva, Attorney for Tae-Tae’s Market
Linda Champion, Attorney for Tae-Tae’s Market
Mr. Bowen stated that the original hearing was for a seasonal retail package goods license. He stated the Board denied this application & Tae-Tae’s Market has appealed. He stated Town Counsel held a discussion w/ Tae-Tae’s re: this hearing being a voluntary remand back to the Board.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved to open the hearing. Selectman Parola seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous (5-0-0)
Mr. Bowen stated that all abutters were notified. He asked the Board to make a motion that administrative notice of the application was made & the application was filed as well as all correspondence.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved to stipulate that administrative notice of the application was made & the application has been filed as well as all correspondence. Selectman Parola seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous (5-0-0)
Mr. Bowen asked the Board to make a motion that administrative notice was made & the application has been filed as well as the correspondence record of the prior proceeding.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved to stipulate that the administrative notice of the application has been made & the application has been filed as well as the correspondence record of the prior proceeding. Selectman Parola seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous (5-0-0)
Ms. Silva stated this hearing is in re: if Tae-Tae’s Market should be issued a seasonal retail package goods license. She briefly noted MGL c138, §15. She briefly discussed public use & public need. She discussed the location of the establishment & other liquor establishments in the area.
Ms. Silva discussed the pending Senate bill re: the Town’s request for additional liquor licenses. She stated the Board is not compelled to issue this seasonal liquor license to Tae-Tae’s, but they are compelled to consider the issue of a public need factor.
Ms. Silva stated at the previous hearing, the Board had an issue re: the number of liquor licenses in a three mile radius, but right now, there is only one license w/in this district, thus there is a compelling need because the one liquor license doesn’t meet the public need. She stated another issue the Board had was the Board felt this was not an ideal location for a liquor license due to its proximity to two houses of worship. Ms. Champion stated that the houses of worship do not meet the requirement/regulations re: proximity & location to houses of worship under the statute because they are not open every day, all day, for example, St. Margaret’s Church only holds Sunday Mass, thus this doesn’t satisfy the requirement re: regular use, in her opinion.
Mr. Bowen stated one reason why the request for this hearing be remanded back to the Board is to discuss the matter of location, which is found in MGL c138 §16C – Regular Use Definitions.
Mr. Bowen asked if the two houses of worship were offering any objections to the application. No one was present at this meeting representing the two houses of worship. Mr. Bowen stated that when this hearing is closed, a motion should be made to the effect that there is no objection offered by the two houses of worship on this application. Ms. Silva added that there was a letter of support from a representative of one house of worship during the construction phase of the market. She stated this representative asked if the owners would be offering kosher products.
Mr. Bowen asked if a member of the Board would make a motion re: the issue of houses of worship.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved the Board find no objection to the application was offered by the two houses of worship. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous (5-0-0)
Ms. Champion briefly noted a case ruled upon re: need set forth by a Board as a literal sense. She stated need is not literal, but an assessment of public want. She stated based upon the number of customers the market serves, a petition was formed to assess the want of different products, & why they were interested in these products, for example, liquor.
Ms. Silva spoke re: the pre-existing liquor license (held by Onset Village Market) that also sells other products. She stated the Board had said at the previous hearing that if a license should be issued the applicant would act as a qualified server & that convenience stores cannot offer liquor, beer, or wine.
Chairman Sauvageau asked how many names are on the petition. Ms. Silva stated she would submit this petition when their Clerk arrives.
Ms. Silva stated after the previous hearing, the Board granted a Common Victualler’s license to Tae-Tae’s, which takes Tae-Tae’s out of the realm of a convenience store. She stated it is a general variety store.
Mr. Bowen stated that competition was discussed at the previous hearing. He asked how this squares w/ the statement on competition. Ms. Champion stated in one case heard the decision was made that there was no compelling need. She stated the residents on the side of the bridge (where the market is located) want convenience. She discussed the location of the district known as Onset Village I & the fact that these residents can only go to one place for certain goods. She does not feel this presents adequate competition. She added as of now, the availability of certain products is inadequate for this area.
Ms. Champion stated that they have now received the petition from their Clerk. She stated there are 28 signatures p/page w/ 12 pages, thus there are approx. 336 signatures in favor of the Seasonal Liquor License. Ms. Silva stated that she signed the petition, but lives in Boston, so there may be other signatures of other non-residents on the petition. She proceeded to submit the petition to the Board.
Ms. Silva stated relative to the competition issue, one similar case held determined that a local licensing board could not transfer one liquor license to another establishment nearby. Mr. Bowen stated the State Judicial Court (SJC) overturned this. He is unsure this is good case law now.
Ms. Champion discussed the issue of public need. She stated the Town has filed for five additional liquor licenses, which signals a sign of growth. She stated there are 21 liquor licenses in Town & there have been 21 licenses issued. She stated now the Town is asking for additional year-round liquor licenses, which is a sign that there is a need to give products to the community. She stated as parts of Onset grow, it is important to see all of Onset grow, not just one section.
Selectman Parola spoke re: public need & asked if the market would carry different beverages. Ms. Silva discussed the origin of the name Tae-Tae’s & how Ms. Kellenberger is the manager who operates the day-to-day operations of the market. She discussed the diverse food Ms. Kellenberger makes & the fact that the market would like to expand on this service.
Selectman Parola stated previously, there were three package stores in Onset. She stated in recent times, one of the licenses was turned in & one of the license owners left Town. She stated that the request for additional liquor licenses before the Senate are for on-premise, pouring licenses (restaurant).
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott asked how many employees the market has. Ms. Champion stated two.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott stated that the application states that beer & wine will be on the floor. She asked re: stocking of products & when & how many deliveries are made to the establishment. Ms. Champion stated existing products are delivered every two weeks & she explained when extra deliveries are made. She stated there is a refrigerator at the premises, but there is no back stocking area.
Selectman Pillsbury stated the Onset Cash Market’s liquor license was issued many years ago & this was the last time a liquor license was granted to store of that nature, specifically a convenience store. She stated w/ re: to public need, she asked town counsel if the Board could look outside the village. She stated if the Board were to look outside the village, there are 14 liquor stores. She stated the town has more retail package goods store licenses per capita, than any other community in the Commonwealth does. She added that there are a number of liquor stores w/in one to two miles of this establishment and that are a short walking distance. She stated if the two businesses that had a liquor license previously in this area were to close, she is not sure that there is a compelling need
or want issue that the Board is asked to consider. She stated that she is not necessarily looking at the compelling need in just the village, but the whole Town. Mr. Bowen stated the Board is in a unique position. He stated as the Board looks at the need factor, it is the Board’s discretion how they wish to look at this. He stated the Board should determine if they would be looking at the “big” area or the “small” area for a decision. He stated the Board could not make a determination w/out a back up of facts.
Chairman Sauvageau stated there were three liquor licenses in the village at one time, thus at one time these stores were supported as stores selling the same product. He stated w/ re: to the Onset Cash Market, this liquor license was issued approx. 13 years ago & has been held for a long time. He stated as for the reasons why the other two liquor license holders left, he does not know & does not feel this has any bearing on the matter at hand. He stated the village is growing & expanding. He stated the Board supports businesses in the village of Onset & feels this speaks well for the application. He stated the Town has more Class II Licenses p/capita granted, even though the Town is already covered.
Chairman Sauvageau asked w/ re: to people going into the market, what is the distinction made of who lives in the community, who is visiting, etc. Ms. Champion stated there are seasonal customers, but the primary client base is made up of residents, whether they are permanent or summer residents.
Chairman Sauvageau stated the SJC ruled on a case that competition is a sustainable issue on these types of licenses.
Ms. Champion discussed the previous three liquor licenses held in the area. She discussed Mr. Souza’s (Manager of Onset Cash Market) statements at the previous hearing re: the two licenses he has held. She feels it is anti-competitive to give two licenses to one competitor & assure him that these licenses will not be given to others. She stated there are five seasonal licenses available, but none have been issued. Chairman Sauvageau explained that these five licenses are year-round licenses, not seasonal.
Selectman Pillsbury stated there are some logical arguments projected regarding competitive need. She stated the argument that someone would have to walk instead of drive because they are enjoying their day, is not an argument (as presented by Ms. Champion). She stated many areas in Town do not have the availability for residents to walk to a liquor store. She reiterated that the Town has more liquor licenses than any other community does in the state. She stated she does not believe the argument that the public is not being served in the community, and she does feel that competition should to be considered. She discussed the prior businesses that were at this site. She stated the Board does have a right to take into consideration the competition factor, but at some point, there is a need to
establish when a need has been met, if the Town can properly place these licenses, etc. She feels there is too much competition w/ liquor stores. She does not feel there is a compelling need & she feels the public is more than sufficiently being served. She stated that there are issues w/ liquor licenses in convenience stores, for example, how would Tae-Tae’s monitor the sale of alcohol along w/ other products with only two employees. She stated that Tae-Tae’s was just named in a sting for allegedly selling tobacco to a minor. Ms. Silva stated that this allegation has not been proven. Brief discussion ensued.
Selectman Pillsbury stated that coverage is important as well as keeping track of things. She stated there is a lot of activity going on in convenience stores. She feels the Board needs to be assured that proper I.D. checks are being conducted. Ms. Silva stated that Tae-Tae’s could discuss & evaluate staffing matters as well as address TIPS training for employees.
Chairman Sauvageau stated that he agrees the town does not need another liquor store, but this seasonal liquor license will be at a convenience store. He does not feel the matter of liquor stores should have a bearing on the Board’s decision. He stated this is a self-monitoring industry & it is the owner’s responsibility to have employees receive TIPS training & comply w/ the rules/regulations of the State. He added that the tobacco sting issue is a Board of Health issue, not a Board of Selectmen issue. He feels the sole matter is if there is a need which as he understands, the current case law states it is a matter of public want. He stated the applicants have submitted a petition, which he feels, infers public want. He stated competition should be considered, but a quid pro quo
should not be considered competition.
Ms. Silva stated if the Board is going to qualify the establishment as one that will be granted a seasonal liquor license, but then compare the establishment w/ year-round liquor licenses, she doesn’t feel it can be both ways. She feels that the establishment needs to be compared w/ the same types of establishments. Selectman Pillsbury stated that this is just Ms. Silva’s opinion. A license is a license.
Ms. Silva stated she has a copy of the transcript from the prior hearing.
Selectman Parola discussed the Board’s policy re: any licenses up for non-renewal would be surrendered or cancelled. She stated this is not a single instance. She stated there were 19 licenses that are now down to 14. She discussed what happened w/ the license in the case of the Onset Cash Market & expressed offense that there might have been some type of agreement w/ this license. Selectman Pillsbury stated Mr. Souza (Onset Cash Market) was asking if this license would be re-issued if given up & the Board responded “No, because there is already a policy in place not to issue any new licenses.”
Lengthy discussion ensued re: the Class II License issue. Selectman Eckstrom stated that at the 9/7/04 meeting of the Board re: Class II Licenses, comments were made by a Board member re: looking at the need in the community. She stated w/ re: to servicing an area, she feels this is less of an argument.
Mr. Bowen discussed the following three standards that need to be applied w/ re: to the Board’s decision:
1. Need.
2. Suitable location.
3. Suitability of applicant.
Selectman Pillsbury asked re: the letter from Chief Joyce re: public safety issues on the roadway where the establishment is located & his recommendation to eliminate some parking in this area. She discussed parking issues in this area sited by Chief Joyce. She feels this is an up-coming issue that will need to be discussed. She stated when deciding to grant a Common Victualler’s License to the market, she did so w/ concern due to so many other businesses failing at this site & issues such as parking, and in order to point out public safety issues the letter had to be discussed.
Chairman Sauvageau stated he objected to Chief Joyce’s letter because the letter specified Tae-Tae’s location & in many of the pictures presented w/ the letter, Tae-Tae’s was in most of them. He explained that this issue was raised when the Administrator asked the Board for a vote at last week’s meeting (one week before this hearing). He stated he could not understand the coincidental nature of this matter. He stated he formally objected to this letter being used in this hearing or any other hearing. Mr. Bowen explained how this matter could be handled.
Ms. Silva stated although this letter is public record, it may not be suitable for this hearing. She stated she has not received this documentation & has concerns regarding the prejudicial & coincidental nature of this issue. She stated the purpose of this application is due to the nature of the business & its walking distance for people. She stated she understands the parking issues & her clients have looked into petitioning the Town for metered parking, but was told that it was a zoning issue. She added that parking is not an exclusive problem just for this establishment. She stated that the primary reason for requesting this liquor license would be to serve the walkers & boaters of the area. She spoke re: Ms. Champion’s character & experience & the character
of her mother who is the manager of the establishment.
Mr. Bowen spoke re: Chief Joyce’s correspondence. He stated if the Board wants to consider this correspondence for this hearing, the Board should table this portion so the applicant can review the correspondence & hold discussions w/ Chief Joyce. He stated if the Board is not going to consider this correspondence for this hearing, then there is no need to consider it & the Board cannot then consider it.
Selectman Pillsbury believes the content of Chief Joyce’s recommendation is valuable & should be considered for this hearing and she favors tabling this portion of the hearing. Chairman Sauvageau believes that if this parking matter was such an important issue then the document should have been presented to the applicant’s this evening due to the Board’s prior knowledge of the matter. He does not feel it should be an extended part of the hearing. He feels if it was to be part of the hearing due to the importance, it should have been part of the hearing, but it was not so it should not be included. Selectman Pillsbury said it should have been included, but was set-aside at the last meeting.
Ms. Champion discussed thriving businesses in this area, for example, a law practice & a small restaurant. She feels that reducing the parking in this area is not right & will set businesses up for failure.
Selectman Parola stated she does not know the origin/timing of Chief Joyce’s letter, but it was an issue when the bridge was closed. She feels the applicant needs to see Chief Joyce’s correspondence due to the impact it may have on her business.
Chairman Sauvageau again expressed concern re: the timeliness of Chief Joyce’s recommendation. He does not feel it is logical to put this hearing off for this issue.
Ms. Silva stated that abutters, businesses, etc. were not notified of any parking changes & Tae-Tae’s was not made aware of the issue until this evening. She added that parking for Tae-Tae’s & the apartment building was taken up at the zoning board hearing. She stated any issues that arise seem to involve Tae-Tae’s Market. She stated there is no parking removal ban in place now, so this parking issue should not be considered now. Selectman Eckstrom agreed.
Mr. Bowen explained to the Board how they could move forward at this time & the choices they have.
Selectman Eckstrom spoke re: the expansions of docks that will be occurring at the Onset Bay Marina & the Point Independence Yacht Club. She feels, in part, some of the market’s business will come from boats docking at these locations & added parking at these locations as well. Selectman Parola stated that the approval for these dock expansions is still in the state’s hands & the appeal process should continue.
Chairman Sauvageau asked for public comments from those in attendance. He started w/ those present that are in favor of the application.
Present before the Board: Michael Andres
Mr. Andres stated he is new to the area. He stated the area is a walking area & the market is convenient to go to. He stated it is hard to walk all the way to the Onset Cash Market for products. He stated people in the neighborhood are asking for this license.
Present before the Board: Linda Nicks
Ms. Nicks stated she lives in the neighborhood & market is convenient & she is happy it is there. She stated that in the summer it is hard to go through the center of Onset. She added that she does not want to have to drive half way across Town to get a bottle of wine.
Present before the Board: Manny Pena
Mr. Pena stated he is co-owner of the building in which Tae-Tae’s Market is housed. He stated there were some rebuttals at the last hearing, but parking was determined at that time to not be an issue.
Mr. Pena expressed confusion re: the boat dock expansions. Selectman Parola explained the situation. Brief discussion ensued.
Mr. Pena stated he helped, whom he thought was Chief Joyce, w/ the measuring of the roadway by supplying him w/ a measuring tape. He discussed the narrow portion of the road in this area where parking should be eliminated, not the wide area in front of the store. He briefly discussed the issue of cars speeding.
Present before the Board: Terese Landry
Ms. Landry stated it is nice to go into a store that offers a variety of products. She stated as for the parking issue, she does not see many people parking to go into the store.
Chairman Sauvageau asked those who are against the application to come forward.
Present before the Board: Don Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan asked if the Board has a current application on file. Mr. Bowen explained that this is a continuation and a remand of a previous hearing. He discussed the process taken & stated that jurisdiction matters have been taken care of.
Mr. Sullivan asked re: a CORI check of the manager. Discussion ensued re: managers & CORI checks.
Mr. Sullivan stated if the Town wants to eliminate liquor licenses then they need to hold themselves to it.
Present before the Board: Paul Hurley, Hilltop Package Store
Mr. Hurley stated w/ re: to CORI checks, the license is usually subject to a CORI check. He stated he did his homework when he purchased the Hilltop Package Store. He asked where is the line drawn w/ these licenses.
Present before the Board: Stephen Browne, Browne’s Package Store
Mr. Browne asked who notifies the houses of worship if they are not abutters. Mr. Bowen stated that schools, churches, & hospitals are notified if they are w/in 500 ft. of a liquor license holder. Ms. Champion added that Tae-Tae’s put a large advertisement for this hearing in the Wareham Courier.
Mr. Browne stated he conducted a lot of research re: the number of package stores p/capita relative to off-premise liquor sales. He stated the Town’s liquor licenses are reduced to 14, but this amount is still the highest p/capita in the State. He stated he does not see the need for additional liquor licenses at all. He stated on premise liquor licenses are one thing, but off premise liquor licenses are another. He feels this hearing should be postponed until the tobacco sting matter is resolved. Chairman Sauvageau stated the matter of the tobacco sting is not part of this hearing. Ms. Champion stated she is unaware of a hearing date for the tobacco matter.
Mr. Bowen explained to the Board how they can proceed & their options. Discussion ensued.
Ms. Silva stated that the tobacco & parking issues should not be considered under this application at this time. She stated if parking is a consideration, then the Board should only consider the original parking plan. Discussion ensued.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved the Board hold this hearing open so the correspondence from Chief Joyce re: parking can be reviewed. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott seconded for discussion.
NOTE: Selectman Fernandes-Abbott feels that holding this hearing open is a benefit to the applicant re: the parking issue because in the future this parking matter will have to be dealt with. She stated she does not have a problem closing the hearing now w/out the parking issue. Ms. Silva stated that whatever the Board decides, the applicant will concur. Selectman Parola feels the applicant should review Chief Joyce’s documentation. Chairman Sauvageau feels if there is a parking issue, it should not delay this hearing, but be discussed at a future time. He added that the Board never agreed to have this parking issue be a consideration for this hearing. He strongly disagreed that the parking issue should be part of this hearing. Selectman Parola stated that in
4/05, parking & traffic issues were discussed as well as concerns, although no resolution was made.
Discussion ensued re: submitting documentation to the applicant relative to Chief Joyce’s recommendation. Mr. Bowen discussed the question of documentation. Selectman Parola stated that there is documentation relative to discussion of parking in this area dated 4/05 & she feels this documentation should be part of the record. Selectman Pillsbury agreed. She added that she agreed w/ the business license at the time, but now she is concerned re: the issues at hand, especially since Chief Joyce’s recommendation made this matter more problematic. Selectman Eckstrom agreed that the 4/05 meeting minutes discussing parking should be part of the record. She also suggested making the original license application part of the record as well. Ms. Champion stated she would also
like the transcript as transcribed (in Boston) from the videotape of the meeting be part of the record.
