Summary

The board recommended denying Fellini Meat Packing Corp.'s outdoor-seating application after members noted the applicant had told the State Liquor Authority it would not have outdoor seating; the board will still forward ADA modifications to DOT.

Committee members told Fellini Meat Packing Corp. that a prior condition tied to a temporary State Liquor Authority approval — that the operator would have no outdoor seating — appears on the public record and conflicts with the new outdoor-seating application.

"They said there was no outdoor seating," a committee member noted during discussion of the application. Board members said a contradiction between statements made to the SLA and a current application creates a reason to deny the board’s advisory approval and to call that inconsistency to DOT’s attention.

The board directed staff to transmit a denial recommendation for the outdoor-seating application while still listing ADA and site-plan corrections the applicant would need to address in any future submission. The committee framed this as an enforcement‑and‑consistency matter: applicants should adhere to representations made before other state agencies when seeking municipal approvals.

Next steps: CB2 will forward a denial recommendation and a list of required plan modifications to DOT; the board asked staff to check March 12 SLA records referenced during the discussion.
