as I know, we haven't had any complaints or the former tenant didn't have any complaints. <br /> We've been operating that since we took over operation of the catering operation in <br /> September, and we were permitted for that and we didn't have any complaints. What's <br /> new is that we've taken over the restaurant and we're having live music downstairs and <br /> that's what we address here.' <br /> Thomas: And is the decibel level monitored upstairs the same way as downstairs? <br /> Proudian: Yes. <br /> White: Absolutely. Everything is angled out across the ocean. <br /> Proudian: We have six speakers that angle out towards the ocean so that, basically <br /> there's no reflection wall to send the sound back into town. <br /> Thomas: Thank you. <br /> Ibarra: I had a question answered by your question. <br /> Greenwell: Chair? <br /> Onizuka: Yes? <br /> Greenwell: Is there a possibility that there's a misunderstanding with the people that <br /> are writing these protests as to what you're doing? Because it sounds like upstairs has <br /> been going on for, as you say, years; and now you're providing a restaurant downstairs <br /> and because it's something new, is there a misunderstanding with your neighbors? <br /> Proudian: I can't speak to that. <br /> Fagundes: Let Ms. White...she's been in personal contact with one of the protestors <br /> and with the board. <br /> White: Yes. Upon receipt of the protest letter, I immediately reached out had they <br /> provided their phone number or email address. To those who only signed the letter and <br /> sent it in, I was able to distribute that through their property management company. Their <br /> concern was just that we are not going to be good neighbors and we're not going to be <br /> sensitive to our surrounding neighbors. In the letter that I wrote, and (when I) spoke with <br /> personally, I ensured them that we were going to be positioning the speakers going out <br /> towards the ocean and that we would be in constant monitoring of the decibel levels as <br /> well. We have two new meters and we will be going around to check the levels of the <br /> sound and they know they can reach out to me personally if there's ever a concern so <br /> that we can address it immediately, and they were very happy to hear that and said they <br /> were happy to come in and have us right next door. This is the response that I got. They <br /> just wanted to do a preemptive strike, not against our business, but just making sure we <br /> were sensitive to the noise levels, which we of course are. <br /> Greenwell: So there's dialog between you folks? <br /> JANUARY 2, 2020-LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 8 <br />
