Chairman Carroll said that Canton was denied appellate relief on 40B Roseland project. 
Mark Bobrowski will come in to discuss with the Board at the next meeting. This will be 
a closed session, at 6:45pm. Mr. Pando stated that the Roseland project/40B application 
on Randolph Street was for 300 units of housing, moderate income 40B units. We have 
exhausted our last appeal. There were traffic, and infrastructure issues. We will discuss 
alternatives, and logistics. Chairman Carroll read the agenda items. 
Canton Junction Sports Pub – 18-10-SP-V (PC, GP, JM) 
 Suzanne Matthews 
represents the landlord and agreed to continue to tonight. It is ok to move forward with 
Atty. Schneiders, who represents the petitioner. Chairman Carroll said that you requested 
40 games. There are concerns about that. You have a dedicated back room? How many 
games? Mr. Marini stated he wanted a plan, showing traffic pattern through the 
restaurant (and the bar?). Will there be some kids by themselves? NO, per Joe Muresco, 
the petitioner, they are only allowed if accompanied by an adult. How are you going to 
restrict this? We would not allow it, per Mr. Muresco. No one under 21 is allowed in bar, 
no one under 18 in restaurant without an adult. Mr. Marini said that the Charlie Horse 
has lots of kids, no parent. Joe stated that his business is different than the Charlie Horse. 
John Marini said that “you ripped walls out, all one room now. Kids walk through the 
bar”. There is a hostess station to prevent this, they walk you to the table, stated the 
petitioner. Per the Chairman, this plan is not clear. It was 40 games, now 25. Atty. 
Schneiders would accept restrictions to amend, modify or revoke. We are not looking to 
put people out of business. The petitioner stated it is not our intention to have 
unaccompanied children in the room. I work with troubled children. Mr. Marini stated 
he is not comfortable with this. Is the lounge door open? Can kids walk in? Mr. Pando 
asked if it was open to all patrons? Yes, per the petitioner. Mr. Pando said that he could 
not support this. You have function rooms, bar room, parties, you will have mixed use in 
this area, some drinking alcohol at the same time as minor children. I do not support this. 
Chairman Carroll reminded th e petitioner that this must be a unanimous vote. The
