Caf6. So, I'm just kind of helping the new owners who are from Japan transition into opening the business hopefully by the end of the year. Okabe: Any other further description of the business? Miyashiro: It's the same, Keei Caf6 is 2,200 square feet, it has a maximum capacity of 66 seats. I just saw the owners a couple days ago, so the direction of the new restaurant, it's going to be like sushi, hot pot, with a few of the items that were popular with Keei Caf6, so we're you know in constant contact with them, and helping with their design and everything. I know that Aki from Hamajang Studios is technically supposed to be submitting their renovation plans to the County by the end of April, and they have hired a permit expediter and they're hoping that they'll get their permits within four months, start the renovations and hopefully open up by the ending of December. Okabe: Thank you. Did you receive the application report? Miyashiro: Yes. Okabe: Are there any changes to the report? Miyashiro: No. Okabe: Director, are there any reports of protests? Takase: Mister Chairman, this is a sale transfer, so notification was made by publication on January 18, 2025, we received no protests to the application. Okabe: Any public testimony on this item? There was no public testimony. Okabe: Hearing none. Are there any discussion or questions by Commissioners? Espejo: I got one, so it's a complete remodel of your existing space? Miyashiro: The remodel I think it's more toward the kitchen, to update the equipment, put in a walk-in freezer, a walk-in cooler, you know, do the sushi bar. The renovations is more towards the kitchen area, not more towards the front, because I don't think you can increase your maximum amount of seating because of the parking. Espejo: Thank you. Okabe: Any other questions? There was no further discussion by Commissioners. MINUTES -LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2025 - KONA PAGE 9 OF 39
