Gonzalez: I didn't quite get the answer to the Director's question. Do you have <br />plumbing permits for the plumbing work? <br />Kim: No, because I'm not going to apply for anything yet until I get the right equipment <br />in there. Then I can take the next step, construction wise. We have plumbers working <br />on that property, a separate company, TCA. But I can't really commit to a construction <br />schedule until I get the right equipment. <br />Gonzalez: Wait, you have plumbers working in that space already? <br />Kim: Not yet. But they already looked at all the plans. <br />Takase: I don't know what he can complete within six months. We can give him six <br />months and see what happens. But those are the kinds of things you need to recognize <br />that need to get done. <br />Kim: Right, exactly. <br />Takase: If I just read your letter, I would think you're getting close to finishing. But, <br />when I went to look at it, it looks like... <br />Kim: I'm not going to write about my internal issues like my project manager is gone <br />with all the money and that kind of stuff. I don't think that's the right explanation for me <br />to ask for the extension on. This is a great opportunity for me to explain. That's the <br />actual business going on. So many things happen, especially here in Hawaii. That's <br />what I have right now. Like I said, we have to move on. <br />Nahale-a: Mr. Director, given that this is a little trickier situation than I think we understood, <br />do you have a recommendation for us? <br />Greenwell: I'm considering withdrawing my motion now that light has been shed on this. <br />don't believe that we know as much as we should know, and this may have to go into <br />discussion. At this point, I'd like to withdraw my motion. <br />Takase: My proposal would be to give him the six months, but I wanted him to <br />understand that we're looking at it like he's making progress, but he's...I think it would <br />be unfair to "ambush" him today and say, "Sorry, you're out." But, maybe within the <br />next six months you need to keep us informed of what's going on. Tin me, it looks like <br />there's been very little progress. I look at the K's restaurant side; you demo -ed <br />everything and it looks like you have a couple of steel girders up, but I don't know <br />what's going on over there. <br />Kim: Maybe you didn't see inside of that. We already spent about $400,000 into that. <br />We combined the 8,000 square feet including the patio. <br />Takase: Yes, I see it gutted out. <br />OCTOBER 3, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 27 <br />
