PlanningBoard | 2013-01-15 | 2 | Vice President Burton asked what the percentage of loss on a Saturday. Mr. Yi stated as much as 33%. They opened in August 2010, and had food truck been in the marketing plan for the Center he would have looked at that further. Board member Henneberry asked if he knew the impact on the other local eateries at South Shore. Mr. Yi stated he didn't know the numbers. Mr. Robb Ratto, Executive Director, Park Street Business Association (PSBA), stated that the PSBA Board of Directors voted not to allow the food trucks in the Park Street retail area. PSBA Members feel that the permit fees for food trucks should be in line with the fees for brick and mortar eateries, but they are not. President Zuppan closed the public comment.
