Gonzalez: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The applicant mailed 10 out of 11 notices within 100
<br /> feet, 42 out of 44 notices within 500 feet. There were 44 properties entitled to protest,
<br /> and we have received 1 protest to the application, submitted by Christopher and Karen
<br /> Baker, by letter dated December 20, 2020. The main concerns, as contained within the
<br /> letter that has been provided to the Commissioners, are regarding loudness of music,
<br /> hours of operation of music, days of week of music, and a question of whether it is
<br /> outside music, or limited to inside the premises.
<br /> also believe that the protester has joined the meeting, along with a couple other
<br /> individuals from the neighborhood.
<br /> Mr. Cliff Moon, and there's an unregistered phone number. Thank you.
<br /> Hughes: Okay. At this time, do we have any public testimony?
<br /> Baker (Karen): Yes. We're concerned about the noise in the neighborhood. Can you
<br /> hear me?
<br /> Hughes: Ma'am? If you would start by stating your name, please?
<br /> Baker (Karen): Okay. I'm Karen Baker, I'm co-owner of this property at 94-1555
<br /> Kaulua Circle, and we just have a concern about noise in the neighborhood. We had
<br /> been part of the group that had not really wanted to have the other liquor license
<br /> approved, and it was approved. We did have a lot of noise in the neighborhood. First,
<br /> that was more like a public bar, and we don't know, or have experience with the
<br /> members-only bar at this point in time. We just want to make sure our concerns are
<br /> addressed.
<br /> Baker (Chris): My name is Chris Baker, and I'm Karen's husband. And it's the same
<br /> address, 94-1555 Kaulua Circle. We are not totally opposed to club members having
<br /> drinks within the club. I had concerns because, isn't this application for about 3 or 4
<br /> acres, or something like that? And, within that, the noise is terrible, and even recently,
<br /> I've heard music coming from that direction again. And cars burning out, and I mean I
<br /> don't know if it was a concert guys, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, I can hear the
<br /> music in that club. The last time that was operational, it was horrible, and then cars
<br /> wheeling out from the parking lot. I can hear people outside arguing and talking, and
<br /> blank this and blank that. It was horrible the last time, and I'm not over here seeing
<br /> these new people, I don't know them. But I'm just saying, we would like to see some
<br /> kind of our solution to the noise and from the music. Something attached, that would be
<br /> solid, and I don't know the people that are doing it. I don't have the agenda, I just, the
<br /> noise is just horrible, coming from that, and I don't know if people realize that. We're
<br /> the first house on the right hand side of Kaulua, to the club. So basically, that's my
<br /> thing.
<br /> Hughes: Thank you very much.
<br /> Baker (Chris): Thank you, guys.
