A communication dated October 21, 2013 was received from Lt. George Poole, Fire Prevention Officer, Woburn Fire Department, as follows:

Dear Alderman Gately:

Subject: Dave and Buster’s

This letter is in response to the memorandum I received, dated October 8, 2013 from Patricia Bergeron George, Clerk of committees.  The Woburn Fire Department’s greatest concern is life safety at the proposed occupancy, specifically means of egress and crowd management. The city has never had a similar venue: a large combined A-2/A-3 use group. There are similar sized occupancies in the city, but none where such a large number of patrons can enter and move throughout; where lighting is reduced and there will be a large amount of background noise; and where alcohol is served.

Before responding to the points in Attorney Tarby’s communication, I would like to also cite some information I learned regarding the Dave and Buster’s facility located in Braintree, MA, which have heightened our concern at the proposed project in Woburn.  I spoke with Deputy Chief Steven Sawtelle of the Braintree Fire Department regarding the Dave and Buster’s in Braintree.  Deputy Chief Sawtelle outlined several incidents which had occurred at the facility within its first year of being open.  These included three separate fires. Although all were minor in nature, two occurred while the business was open to the public.  Also, during an inspection by the Braintree Fire Department, chairs were found to be stacked in a protected stairwell, partially blocking its use.  At a separate incident, the Braintree Fire Department received the alarm from Dave and Buster’s and found that a Dave and Buster’s employee had opened the fire alarm control panel and silenced and reset the alarm prior to the arrival of the Braintree Fire Department.

The following are sequential responses to Attorney Tarby’s communication dated October 3, 2013:

1. The Woburn Fire Department acknowledges that your client will comply with their insurance carrier’s, (FM Global) required 18 month inspection schedule.

1. The Woburn Fire Department acknowledges that the Braintree location copied the Providence location in part.  The Rhode Island Fire Safety Code has been re-written as a result of the tragic Station Nightclub fire in 2003, to include specific language regarding sprinklers, crowd management, and uniformed firefighters on duty in many types of “places of assembly.”  The Woburn Fire  Department also recognizes that while similar, Massachusetts has its own   distinct laws and regulations.
2. The building will be required to have sprinklers, voice evacuation system, fire alarm etc. as stated.  These items are all required by Massachusetts state law and regulations (CMR).  There are also requirements within the Woburn Municipal Code which must be complied with.
3. The Woburn Fire Department is aware that police details have been removed from the special permit requirements as a result of the meeting held October 7, 2013.
4. The Woburn Fire Department currently inspects all establishments in the City of Woburn that hold a liquor license and is aware of this annual renewal process.

In regard to the request for review of points 1 and 2 on page two (these are the second set of numbered points contained in the communication) of Attorney Tarby’s communication dated October 3, 2013:

Point 1 on page two:

1. The attachment titled “Dave and Buster’s Policies for Woburn, MA Location,” specifically “Guest Counts,” makes no reference at all to Massachusetts CMR 527 10.13 Emergency Planning and Preparedness.  This section includes very specific requirements for “places of assembly.” Including the use and certification of “Crowd Managers” based on the number of occupants in an area of assembly.
2. The point titled “Line Control” is also of concern.  Based on language contained in the section, the Woburn Fire Department is concerned “loiterers” or “guests” who “congregate” in front of “the front door in a closed position” will hinder egress by patrons already inside the building out through the main entrance.
3. The “Minors’ Policy” is not applicable to fire and life safety codes in this occupancy.  The codes recognize all age categories as occupants.

Point 2 on page two refers to “Fire Prevention Plans dated October 1, 2013.”  These plans, which are not stamped by a fire protection engineer, nor contain sprinkler or fire alarm plans, but do indicate that both will be installed per applicable codes, have been reviewed.  The plans also contain “Code Analysis” in which 527 CMR is listed; however, no specific mention of the Emergency Planning and Preparedness section is made.

These plans also show various egress paths from different locations in the building to an exit.  The Woburn Fire Department has concern with one egress path, shown in grey shade on the sheet labeled, “Main Level.”  The hallway which runs along the rear of the “FUNction Rooms” and also provides egress from various employee areas and rooms shown along the rear wall of the building shows that people following this path has occupants entering “Dave’s Arcade,” which is the large arcade area, before entering the protected stairway.  This re-direct will cause confusion to occupants using the hallway expecting to reach an exit only to find themselves back in a main area of the building.

In closing, the Woburn Fire Department still has great concern for the life safety of the people who would be visiting and working in the proposed building.  This concern is what prompted the Woburn Fire Department to initially suggest utilizing a fire and life safety detail.  This concern combined with Dave and Buster’s perceived intention to use their own policies in place of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) for crowd management forces the Woburn Fire Department’s need to clarify the measures of safety at the location.

Respectfully, s/Lt. George Poole, Fire Prevention Officer

A communication dated October 17, 2013 was received from Police Chief Robert J. Ferullo, Jr. as follows:

Please accept this memorandum in response to your request for input regarding police details relating to the above captioned petition.

The Woburn Police Department has worked closely with representatives for the Dave and Buster’s project since October 17, 2012. There is currently a mutually acceptable plan in place to provide police details during the first 3 months after opening. This plan calls for the reduction or increase of police details based upon the experiences during that time.

In seeking information from Chief Jenkins on the Braintree Police Department, where there is a Dave and Busters, his response in relevant part is as follows:

“Anecdotally, D&B has been very easy to work with. Prior to coming here, they were the subject of pretty outspoken critics who feared gang violence, etc. None of that has materialized. They are a well run operation and very sensitive to law enforcement concerns.”

I am opposed to mandating police details as a condition of this Special Permit. I believe that any issues can be dealt with effectively and efficiently using powers vested in the police department by policy, statute and ordinance combined with the mutually agreed upon use of details when the need exists.

s/Chief Robert J. Ferullo, Jr.

Motion made and 2^nd that the communication dated October 17, 2013 from the Police Department and the communication dated October 21, 2013 from the Fire Department be received and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0. Appearing for the petitioner was Attorney Joseph R. Tarby, III, Murtha Cullina LLP, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 and he stated that the petitioner began this process in the Fall 2012 by making informal presentations, that the License Commission allowed a transfer of the liquor license to the petitioner in January 2013, that that License Commission approved a common victualler license for the petitioner in February 2013, that the petitioner held neighborhood meetings, that the petitioner appeared before the Planning Board on June

18, 2013 and August 6, 2013, that a peer review of the proposal was complete in the Planning Board proceedings, that the Planning Board forwarded a favorable recommendation on the petition on September 10, 2013, that the License Commission approved two hundred automatic amusement devices for the petitioner on September 19, 2013, that the Committee on Special Permits met on October 7, 2013 and provided a favorable recommendation with twenty-seven conditions, that the application has been fully vetted, that the petitioner ask that the petition be approved, that the posted hours of operation will be Sunday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight and Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., and that the petitioner needs flexibility in its hours of operation to remain open until 1:00 a.m. like other competing businesses in the city are allowed to do. Alderman Mercer-Bruen stated that the Fire Department raised concerns about the Braintree operation which is a concern, that the City Council must look at the good behavior and the bad behavior of the applicant, that this operation is not just a restaurant, that she wants to add additional conditions to any special permit granted, that the petitioner states that it has a crowd control policy but is not subject to the crowd control policy in the Massachusetts General Laws, that she wants to offer an amendment that the petitioner be subject to crowd control laws in the Massachusetts General Laws, and that there were no police issues with the Braintree operation but there were Fire Department concerns with that operation. Attorney Tarby stated that two of the Braintree fires were in the clothes dryer around midnight, that a fire detail presence would not have prevented those fires, that the fires did not get out of hand, that the third fire occurred during the day when the power to the facility went out, the vent stopped and smoke from the grill set off the fire alarms, that the petitioner provided an overview to the City Council as a general review of the crowd control policy but this does not supersede the petitioner’s obligations under the Massachusetts General Laws, that if the fire alarm goes off the emergency lighting goes on and the games shut down, that the petitioner has to comply with Massachusetts General Laws and regulations and has no intention not to comply, and that the petitioner would not object to the condition being added referring to the Massachusetts General Laws relative to crowd control. Alderman Mercer-Bruen stated that the Code of Massachusetts Regulations states that crowd control employees must be certified. Attorney Tarby stated that there are seventeen employees at the Braintree facility who are certified in crowd control consistent with the Massachusetts General Laws. Alderman Drapeau stated that he is certified in crowd control, that much of crowd control has to do with live entertainment events, that having a building with a sprinkler system also reduces risk, that a lot of work has been done on this petition, that safety value has been added, that due diligence has been done, and that he will support the petition. Attorney Tarby stated that the petitioner has no live entertainment planned at the facility. Alderman Haggerty stated that public safety is the primary issue, that he offers three conditions relative to health and safety including crowd control, emergency planning and delivery hours, that the petitioner will be required to be certain that the facility is safe, and that he has confidence that the petitioner will keep the facility safe for visitors. Alderman Raymond stated that traffic was an issue with this proposal, that a plan cannot eliminate traffic but it can mitigate the traffic, that the traffic will be analyzed over a four month period and adjustments will be made as needed, that the neighbors want no parking on both sides of the streets and this requirement will be a condition of the special permit, and that the concerns of the residents on Old Mishawum Road are also addressed. Alderman Anderson stated that he has been involved from the beginning of this project, that his concerns center on the size of the building, the proximity of the facility to residences and the parking, and that he is not in favor of the project due to these issues. President Denaro stepped down from the Chair and Alderman Anderson assumed the Chair. President Denaro stated that there has been discussion at this meeting about other regulatory issues, that that City Council should consider that if there are references to other regulations included in the special permit the regulations can change over time, that the petitioner cannot obtain a license to operate without the crowd control certification in place, Board of Health approval and the like, that the City Council should be cautious about adding a condition requiring compliance with a regulation which could change and no longer be current, and that whether requiring compliance with a regulation is a condition of the special permit or not the petitioner has to abide by the law. Alderman Anderson stated that the petitioner must comply with the law whether stated in the special permit or not, that if the City Council requires compliance with the CMR does the CFA not apply, and that these are issue which arise when reference to other statutes or regulations are included in the special permit. IN FAVOR: Wayne Newcomb, 386 Washington Street stated that he is in favor of the project. OPPOSED: Kathleen Bailey, 4 Utica Street stated that three are many people who want the petitioner’s business in the city but not at the proposed location, and that traffic can be mitigated but it will not be eliminated. Motion made and 2^nd to close the public hearing, all in favor, 9-0. Alderman Drapeau stated that he is concerned about the references to regulations in the special permit since the petitioner is subject to the regulations anyway and the special permit may have to be updated if the regulations change. Alderman Haggerty stated that petitioner has agreed to the conditions relative to crowd control and emergency planning. Alderman Raymond stated that there could be a compromise on delivery, that Sunday deliveries are needed because a restaurant of this size may have a need arise on that day, that Sunday deliveries should not be large deliveries but more of an emergency in nature, and that delivery trucks should use Industrial Parkway to Mishawum to keep the trucks out of the residential areas. President Denaro stated that he was not certain what the emergency procedures regulations are. Alderman Haggerty stated that emergency preparedness is clear. President Denaro stated that the issue of emergency planning has not been previously discussed with regard to the petition. Alderman Haggerty stated that compliance with emergency preparedness regulations is clearly required, and that they condition just states that the regulation must be followed. Alderman Mercer-Bruen offered to amend condition 4 hours of operation to 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight which is the same as the Braintree facility, to amend condition 6 by striking the word “seats” thereby limiting occupancy to 828 people and not 828 seats, and prohibiting deliveries on Sunday, however the motion received no second and was not taken up. Motion made and 2^nd that the matter be opened to hear further from the Police Chief, President pro-tem declares 4 in favor, 5 opposed Motion Fails. Motion made and 2^nd that the SPECIAL PERMIT be GRANTED, AS AMENDED with the conditions as follows: 1. That the twenty-seven conditions recommended by the Committee on Special Permit be adopted as conditions of the special permit, 2. To add condition 28 as follows: The Petitioner shall provide Crowd Managers as required under Chapter 304 of the Acts of 2004, An Act Relative to Fire Safety in the Commonwealth, 3. To add condition 29 as follows: The

Petitioner shall comply with 527 CMR regulations 10.00: Fire Prevention, General

Provision; specifically the applicable sections under 10.13 Emergency Planning and Preparedness, and 4. That condition 7 shall be amended as follows: Delivery hours shall be limited to Monday – Friday 7am to 4pm, Saturday 9am to 4pm and Sunday 10am to 1pm, 7 in favor, 2 opposed (Anderson, Mercer-Bruen opposed).

A communication dated October 16, 2013 was received from Attorney Joseph R. Tarby, III, Murtha Cullina LLP, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 as follows:

Re:       Request for Minor Modification/Main Street Woburn RX, LLC,

891 Main Street, Woburn, Massachusetts                             

Dear Mr. Campbell:

Please be advised that I represent Main Street Woburn RX, LLC.  On January 10, 2013 your office issued a Landowner’s Decision and Notice of Special Permit setting forth approval by the Woburn City Council of the Special Permit granted to my client (the “Decision”).

Enclosed please find a copy of a plan entitled “Layout & Materials Plan, Sheet No. C-2, CVS-Woburn Main Street (RT 38) & School Street Woburn, MA. 01801” dated August 24, 2012 revised October 24, 2012, November 1, 2012, November 16, 2012, December 5, 2012, February 15, 2013, April 9, 2013, May 30, 2013, August 13, 2013 and October 11, 2013 prepared by Allen & Major Associates, Inc., 100 Commerce Way, Woburn, MA 01888-0118.

The Site Plan of Record referenced in Condition 1 of the Decision required that the fence along the common property line between the CVS property and the residential abutter on School Street be installed three (3) feet off the boundary line to avoid the cutting down of mature trees along the property line.  The fence was installed in varying distances from the lot line ranging from 3 feet to 8.3 feet.  As a result the buffer zone between the CVS property and the residential abutter is increased and the requirement to cut down trees along the common boundary line will be eliminated.

The proposed revision to the Decision by substituting Sheet No. C-2 of the plan approved in the Decision does not result in any change or modification to the location of the buildings nor does it change any of the conditions contained in the Decision.

Further, the proposed modification does not result in a substantive amendment which changes the result of the Decision or which grants relief different from that originally granted.

On behalf of my client, I respectfully request approval by the City Council at its meeting on October 22, 2013 of a minor modification to the Decision by replacing Sheet No. C-2 referenced in Condition 1 with revised Sheet No. C-2 referenced above.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thank you.

Very truly yours, s/Joseph R. Tarby, III
