At the start of the meeting the commission voted to approve the Feb. 12 minutes. Commissioners recorded affirmative votes from Commissioners Cade, Ramirez and Espinosa. During the administrative review the commission discussed an incident report concerning an arrest at Nathan Bills on Feb. 9 for disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and trespassing; the commission found no violations and voted to take no action.

Robert (Bob) Schmidt introduced himself to the commission: “Hello, everyone. My name is Bob Schmidt, and I'm starting in this role,” he said. The commission noted that the prior licensing counsel, Attorney Bonavita, had attended the Feb. 12 meeting and that Schmidt will attend future meetings in that role.

A staff member reported that a resignation had been received that day from a commissioner identified in the transcript only as “Peter” and that the resignation was effective immediately. The staff member said they would confirm distribution of the resignation notice to the whole commission.

The staff also alerted commissioners that temporary COVID-era permissions to hold public meetings via Zoom were set to expire Feb. 28 unless extended; the staff member said they would confirm the governor’s decision and notify commissioners.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn at 6:04 p.m., which passed with recorded affirmative votes by Commissioners Cade, Ramirez and Espinosa.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Springfield License Commission 02/26/25","oneSentenceSummary","At its Feb. 26 meeting the Springfield Board of License Commissioners approved prior meeting minutes, found no violations in an incident report for Nathan Bills, introduced new licensing attorney Robert (Bob) Schmidt, and recorded a resignation notice; commissioners also discussed upcoming expiration of COVID-era remote meeting permissions.","taxTitle","Springfield City, Hampden County, Massachusetts","taxId",3703,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6291578,"Commissioners approve used-car dealer and junkyard license for Nazario J and G Auto Repair, subject to special-permit documentation",184,181000,365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2529944-17dc9b70f26334dd625cf7ef4ea2ed19&start=181&end=365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2529944-17dc9b70f26334dd625cf7ef4ea2ed19/thumbnail_181000.jpg","/articles/6291578/Springfield-City/Hampden-County/Massachusetts/Commissioners-approve-used-car-dealer-and-junkyard-license-for-Nazario-J-and-G-Auto-Repair-subject-to-special-permit-documentation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6291578-5d024f4319e9d3501e1f52885d2c34c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034125&Signature=I4g2oE~OXKppgGiPeNRALNeRitwfAdH0QcLnTmCjF0Q7yMda4Wcr1R86~cSq9n7KtpwnNN6mDjFHKh2tRgMvpB3U959v7Xrv4FNgV2gdcWZNh2DN96b3PGzf3kFlWuced2QM~BDTUVA8yhQIt1o6CgIwTQum~bYdkO8ykzqua8fDNiX7yqyN6md2X7TSMDU~McwAHL1VFTGAScCtznYxdqkBujCOdi61rN217~-TMTxPKDuuE42lA-0YAFp83XsSRVKmdks6yzEusHpcqQMHjwSjGUfSKNb6MbQ0hXA3XNPEIBXods6lqd7IGxBE5e2OFNDHff9sth9I3DQhGbQdvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Springfield Board of License Commissioners on Feb. 26 approved a Class 2 used-car dealer and Class 3 junkyard license for Nazario J and G Auto Repair LLC, doing business at 295 Allen Street, conditional on receipt of the special permit paperwork and continued compliance with the permit’s conditions while the 20-day appeal period remains open.

Representatives Alexandra Hogan and Kevin Engel and manager Jose Nazario presented the application. Hogan told the commission the associated special-permit hearing had been held two nights earlier and that conditions recommended by the commission were approved. A staff member confirmed during the hearing that the special permit had been obtained and that the license vote could proceed subject to receipt of the document.

Commissioners discussed whether there were objections from the community and were told there were none at the planning-board hearing. The commission approved the license with a motion that included the condition that the licensee adhere to the special permit’s conditions while any appeal period remains pending.

The motion passed with recorded votes by Commissioners Cade, Ramirez and Espinosa.

The commission noted the permit’s 20-day appeal window and required the licensee to provide a copy of the special permit to the licensing office once issued.","The Springfield Board of License Commissioners approved a Class 2 used-car dealer and Class 3 junkyard license for Nazario J and G Auto Repair LLC at 295 Allen Street, contingent on filing the issued special permit and complying with its conditions during the 20-day appeal period.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6291583,"License commissioners approve Stonewall Tavern all-alcohol license with 2 a.m. closing",1409,126000,1535000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2529944-17dc9b70f26334dd625cf7ef4ea2ed19&start=126&end=1535","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2529944-17dc9b70f26334dd625cf7ef4ea2ed19/thumbnail_126000.jpg","/articles/6291583/Springfield-City/Hampden-County/Massachusetts/License-commissioners-approve-Stonewall-Tavern-all-alcohol-license-with-2-am-closing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6291583-ab78a25314ad0338a5a448a99213808a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034125&Signature=Gj0u7Wrj5WlVj086cXK-RIYR5wveRi3ok2pgBrMPOgUmOMu0ByqWM8fyGkFRYb08VpQtecPHEvSoXOwW6lHdUvisZzyN0w5aTIFkvZARgXqaDinUUzBtDg9Rgp4UemonzVe0zxpym2licNS2qsEgscgMUNrsRQY4eG0sqHRsFDyHXDBNx3PCsdNPoN0V3QziaIv~i-0YPWxrkSwksz69QEkqv~5KM3LcjOVczolMFC-2gmbYRrw9JLhgudlL02STr51VV8eub-HBe4lO3IQB~iCVDD0ycujg8lVT9ZNoeUeP9rADYU9RzFq7e0NI0dhYST4MMg-0mcpzFUPPQYCq1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Springfield Board of License Commissioners voted on Feb. 26 to approve an all-alcoholic beverages license for Danny and Billy LLC, doing business as Stonewall Tavern, at 1716 Main Street, naming William Harvey as manager of record and permitting hours of operation from 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.

The commission discussed tenants’ experience, the lease with Amtrak and planned renovations. Attorney John Libel, representing the petitioners, told the commission the principals had extensive experience and had secured a lease with Amtrak after a lengthy review. “They’re gonna put a rather substantial investment,” Libel said, describing a near-gut renovation of the space. William Harvey said the business would employ two bartenders (one day shift, one night) and that he expected to be on-site at least 40 hours per week.

The commission noted neighborhood council concerns about the proposed 2 a.m. closing. Libel said the planning board had no objection to the 2 a.m. closing given the location. Commissioners emphasized the requirement that the manager of record accept responsibility for the premises and that the commission be kept informed of renovation progress. Commissioner Ramirez said the licensee should alert the license office if renovations extended beyond the timeline discussed; commissioners earlier described an expected renovation timeline of roughly six to eight weeks, while the applicants said they expected work to take about one to two months.

A motion to approve the license as presented passed with recorded votes in the affirmative by Commissioners Cade, Ramirez and Espinosa.

The commissioners asked the applicants to update the office if renovations take longer than projected so the commission can track progress and revisit the license if necessary.

The commission adjourned the Stonewall Tavern portion of the hearing after the vote.","The Springfield Board of License Commissioners on Feb. 26 approved an all-alcohol license for Danny and Billy LLC, doing business as Stonewall Tavern at 1716 Main Street, naming William Harvey manager of record and authorizing hours of 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.; commissioners asked for periodic renovation updates.","actionData","errors"]
