Summary
The committee noted White Oak Tavern’s paperwork mismatch but confirmed the work corrects SLA records; MoTeC West Village presented plans for an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant with background music, clarified hours and said outdoor seating is not part of the application.
Several lower‑controversy applications were discussed in a single block of the meeting.
For Greenstreet Enterprises Inc. doing business as White Oak Tavern at 21 Waverly Place, the committee was told the restaurant has operated for 12 years and that the current filing corrects a mismatch between on‑site conditions and SLA records. Committee members confirmed there were no patrons in the cellar, televisions would be silent (no sound), and outdoor seating had prior approval with stipulations; the board indicated the alterations were record corrections rather than changes to operations.
MoTeC West Village LLC (proposed MoTeC restaurant) described an Eastern Mediterranean, kosher‑style concept with 22 tables, a 13‑seat bar and background music only; the team said hours would be roughly 11 a.m.–midnight daily with 10 a.m. brunch on weekends and that French doors/outdoor seating were not part of the current application. Joseph Levy and a project manager, Colleen, answered clarifying questions about façade work and potential outdoor seating, saying the operator would first open and evaluate the sidewalk space before filing a separate application if needed.
The committee recorded its notes and indicated staff should ensure stipulations and prior approvals are reflected correctly in the SLA package.
