Mr. Toujiline stated he is planning on opening a specialty food store – the food will be delivered from New York City Warehouses – most of the customers would be Russian speaking people from Soviet Union – he would be selling foods and gifts and champagne when he gets his liquor license. The reason he wants to sell champagne is it is the traditional liquor for all Russian celebrations. His hours of operation would be Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. There would be no commercial cooking – he would be preparing salads on site and everything else would be prepackaged. Mr. Toujiline was reminded that he would need a building permit to install the sinks and traps necessary for his operation. Mr. Toujiline also stated that he has been in contact with the Department of Agriculture and Marketing for his approval to open. It was stated that Mr. Bostwick (owner of the property) had received a variance for parking with his original site plan application.
