There was no discussion from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: All those in favor say, "Aye." The Commissioners voted "Aye." Nahale-a: Any opposed? There was no opposition by the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Motion carries. Thank you very much. The motion was carried unanimously. Smart: Thank you. Greenwell: Thank you. Nahale-a: Moving to VII. Unfinished Business on the agenda. VII. Unfinished Business (10:35 A.M.) Nahale-a: Kona Haven USA Corp., dba Haven Brew, pursuant to Rule 4-2-M of the Rules and Regulations of the Liquor Commission of the Department of Liquor Control of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, requests approval to extend the time issuance of its Small Craft Producer Pub liquor license, for an additional six months, from October 4, 2019, to and including April 4, 2020, by email dated August 28, 2019. Nahale-a: This item was on our October 3, 2019, agenda under New Business. The matter was continued to December 5, 2019, to have the applicant provide additional information to the Department. Mr. Director? Takase: Commissioners if you remember, the applicant, Eric Kim, appeared at the October meeting and we had questions about where he was and what he was doing in terms of getting all of his permits and construction done. I think it (turned) out that he didn't have his permits done and he has since asked us to withdraw his application. Nahale-a: Okay. Hughes: Is he able to reapply? Takase: He can reapply. If he gets denied, then there would be a one-year stay on the property; but since he got his license and he didn't finish the process, he could reapply and we would deal with it as it comes. I don't know what's happening in that...that whole shopping center is undergoing transition, and we'd just be speculating as to what they're going to do there. We had three of our former Licensees who were in there that have moved out. There's a lot of vacant land that's in proximity to Ali`i Drive. DECEMBER 5, 2019-LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 27
