George Hailer, representing MJRE, LLC--Soprano's Ristorante, introduced himself to the Board. Glen Harrington stated that the owner of Soprano's Ristorante has requested a 2016 Tobacco Sales Permit to sell cigars at the facility with the intent to be smoked at the outside seating area. Mr. Harrington forwarded an email to Mashpee's establishments clarifying the use of outdoor seating as a smoking area: • The smoking area may only be used if wait service has ended or is not available for that space. This is due to the fact that employees may not be subject to second hand smoke during their service for the employer. • Any operable windows or doors must be closed to eliminate migration of the smoke into the enclosed occupied structure/food establishment. • If removable walls make up the enclosed smoking area then 50% or more of the walls must be put up to allow the smoke to escape and dissipate to open air. (105 CMR 661.200). • Our local BOH regulation also prohibits smoking within 10 feet of an intake, door or window. That includes e-cigarettes, too. The applicant outlined some of the above requirements of MGL c. 270 s. 22 in the application. Mr. Hailer remarked that the outside smoking area will be open with an umbrella or canopy and no walls. Ed Ricciardi, owner of Soprano's Ristorante, introduced himself to the Board. Mr. Ricciardi commented that no smoking will be allowed until after a certain hour, until the patio is clear of dinner guests, and there is no wait service. This is strictly for cigar smoking, not cigarettes. 3
