Gonzalez: Administrative Officer Gonzalez, so you're referring to the special permit <br />from the Planning Department? <br />Hitsman: Correct, yes. <br />Gonzalez: Authorizing the use of the space? <br />Hitsman: Correct, yes to use until 9:00 p.m. <br />Gonzalez: They already have conditions on them laying out their hours of business for <br />the restaurant. One quick addition, so the concern regarding noise, you've had live <br />entertainment already? <br />Singletary: Just for the birthday party. <br />Hitsman: Just for the birthday party that we had. <br />Singletary: Yes, that was the first time that we had any kind of anything going on there. <br />Gonzalez: So, just keep in mind, we like to remind our licensees and businesses, the <br />first thing that they think of about the noise is what the entertainers produce. <br />Hitsman: Sure. <br />Gonzalez: The real noise comes from the patrons enjoying it, with the cheehooing or <br />the sing -a -longing. <br />Singletary: Right. <br />Gonzalez: And that's the hard part to monitor and regulate the customers as well, <br />because you want them to have a good time, so that's some of the things that you might <br />want to address when you're talking with your neighbors too. <br />Hitsman: Yes, and that's another reason why we don't want to necessarily do like large <br />bands or that kind of thing, you know one person with a ukulele is a little bit different <br />than you know a huge, large band. So, we honestly don't have really the capacity to <br />really do a large band anyways, I mean you know the building is quite old, they'll <br />probably blow the roof off the place. So, you know we are conscience that there is a <br />community there, I mean we have the church right next door, we've been working with <br />the church. And so, we do understand that there's a community there and we wouldn't <br />want anyone playing music loudly, you probably saw our baby who was here at the very <br />beginning, he had to step out. But, you know we wouldn't want anyone playing loud <br />music while we're trying to put our kid to sleep at 9:00 a.m. at night, we understand that, <br />mean we're community members as well, so. <br />MINUTES - LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, MAY 11 2025 - HILO PAGE 5 OF 63 <br />
