Mr. Adams summarized the public hearing procedures noting <br />that the CPDC will hear from the Applicant, then hear from Staff, then have a board discussion, and then <br />open up for public comment. <br />Ms. Delios told the CPDC that the application is for a restaurant to go into the ground floor of the <br />building recently constructed known as 30 Haven Street. The actual address for the project is 54 Haven <br />Street and is the end unit, closest to the alley. This unit is also directly adjacent to Zinga, but will be <br />separated by the access corridor. That corridor provides access between Haven Street and the Brande <br />Court parking lot. Portland Pie Company is a full service restaurant that specializes in pizza. <br />Mr. Joe O'Neil, Chief Operating Officer for Portland Pie Company presented the project to the CPDC. <br />He has worked for Portland Pie Company for the last 7 years. The company originated as a pick -up and <br />delivery operation and has since evolved into full service restaurant with 4 other locations in Maine and <br />New Hampshire. <br />Being a family friendly restaurant, there will be three dining areas of standard height tables and then a <br />pub area and bar. The pub and bar area will be separated from the traditional dining areas by a faux <br />brick wall that will also house a double -sided gas fire place. Take -out and delivery will be provided and <br />will operate from the host station. <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />
