lbarra: And that would be better for your neighbors, right? <br />Nguyen: Yeah. The last thing I want to do is to take more and try to push, push, push. <br />But if that ever does happen in the future, I won't just go ahead and do it. I will probably <br />talk to the neighbors. I actually met the manager for the complex. <br />Ibarra: I lived in Kona Mansion when I first came back from the mainland, so I know <br />where the property is. I agree with Claude. It's in a resort area. But I just want to make <br />sure that it's up front so that the permit is without conditions; whenever you want to do it <br />during your opening hours versus having litigation in the end. (For example) I heard in <br />the meeting she said one or two times a week and surrounding people have filed a law <br />suit, they look at the permit the Commission gave and it's without conditions. <br />Nguyen: Yeah. My goal is to not let it get to that point. <br />Nahale-a: It sounds like we have members of the public who would like to provide <br />testimony now? <br />Rankin: Aloha, my name is Sally Rankin and I am the president of Kona Mansion's <br />HOA. We are directly across the street from Broke Da Mouth. Just to start off, we do <br />appreciate the fact that they've been very open and had a dialogue with us as of today. <br />Going into this has been scary because we received a notice, but really no information. <br />Since none of us have experience with going through these permits, you pretty much <br />leave neighbors hostile coming into this towards somebody we don't know. Let me start <br />off there because it's kind of hard coming into this. <br />Rankin: First off, Huggo's, while it is right in that area, we do not hear it from our <br />location. Ever. I've never once heard it, and I'm on the third floor so I have a direct <br />sight to it and I don't hear it. Two, while we are technically in a resort area, we are <br />residential on that side of the street. So, that's not completely fair to say that. We are a <br />little farther up, we are close to the resort area, but we are zoned residential there. With <br />wanting to work with them, because we want to be good neighbors, too, absolutely and <br />we want a successful business there because we've seen a lot of things come and go <br />over the years; I think what is fair for us to ask is for there to be some conditions so that <br />we don't go from this, you know. The amount of days is not an issue, but the time in the <br />evening is an issue. While I think it's fair to say 8:00, 8:30, 1 don't want to see that 9:00, <br />9:30 pushed, and I'll tell you why. Because while it stops there, it doesn't stop there for <br />us. <br />Rankin: (With) the current restaurant that just moved out of there, we could hear the <br />conversations out of their dishwashing area and where their guys hang out at night and <br />much later than the time they closed. In talking with her (Nguyen), she's been more <br />than fair having open communications with us and letting us know what their plans are <br />and vice versa, but to be fair, we would like to say can we at least be reasonable about <br />the time of evening that it can go on to so that in the future, it isn't an issue; and we <br />don't have to come back here. Like I said, we all want to be good neighbors. I think <br />that's fair to say. We just want to be reasonable at the same time. <br />MAY 2, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 8 <br />
