Wilson: We're not classifying ourselves as a sports bar. We want to focus on our Nashville Hot Chicken; that's what we want to bring to the table. But, we will have TVs and on Saturdays and Sundays we will be...we will have a sports game on TV. Nahale-a: That would go well with beer. Wilson: It does go really well with beer. It would pair very nicely. Thomas: Another question, so the seating capacity...we have your blueprints but not an indication of where tables and stuff...can you eat in-house? What's the seating capacity? Wilson: Yes, right now we're seating at eighty-nine. We also have a small lanai. Thomas: Yes, I saw that. Okay, thank you. All right. Nahale-a: One more question, Allen? Salave'a: Just to confirm, the restrooms are in an adjacent structure? Wilson: Yes, within approximately twelve feet from our main front door where you come in and out, there are two separate bathrooms, really large bathrooms. They are right there and the other restaurants that are around us have their own, so they are going to be used for Willie's Hot Chicken. They will be used, we are a communal area for that whole development there that are allowed to use them, but primarily they will be used by us. Might be ten feet, but it's really close. Salave`a: Okay, thank you. Nahale-a: Any other questions? There were no other questions from the Commissioners.
