Lynn City licensing board approves one-day event, new and renewed restaurant licenses and cancels May meeting
Summary
At a regular Lynn City Licensing Board meeting, members approved a one-day license for a June 7 concert, granted a new alcohol license with specified hours, approved renewals and a Papa John’s common victualler application, and voted to cancel the board’s May meeting unless an emergency arises.
The Lynn City Licensing Board at a regular meeting approved a one-day special license for the nonprofit Beyond Walls, granted a new alcohol license to a restaurant applicant, approved several license renewals and a new common victualler application for Papa John’s, and voted to cancel the board’s scheduled May meeting.
Board members approved a one-day license for Beyond Walls to hold a concert at 18 Mount Vernon Street at the Lynn Museum and Historical Society on June 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The motion to approve the one-day license was made and seconded and carried, with the board recording the approval on the meeting record.
The board also considered a new alcohol beverage license for a downtown restaurant. The applicant — identified in the meeting as Julio, the prospective manager and owner representative — told the board the business would open at 7 a.m. for breakfast and would serve until late-night hours. “I have to open at 7 a.m. for breakfast,” Julio said, adding that the restaurant would stop the kitchen service at midnight and that last call for alcohol would be at 12:30 a.m. The board moved, seconded and approved the new alcohol license application.
Members voted to renew several existing licenses; the motion referenced renewals including businesses mentioned in the meeting packet. The board also approved a new common victualler application for Papa John’s at 597 Essex Street after an attorney and representative described the franchise’s menu and delivery service.
During the meeting the board’s police liaison read a series of routine police reports from downtown locations; those reports were informational and did not prompt licensure action.
Commissioner Margaret Phelps and Chairperson Patricia Barton told colleagues they would be unable to attend the May meeting; the board moved, seconded and approved canceling the May meeting. Members said they would schedule an emergency meeting if urgent license items emerged before June.
Votes recorded in the meeting minutes show the board approved the minutes of the March 18 meeting and the items above; specific roll-call tallies were not specified in the transcript excerpt.
The board did not set a new regular May meeting date and directed staff to notify members if an emergency meeting is required for time-sensitive license approvals.
