Nishimoto: Commissioner Nishimoto, so the building that you're occupying is that <br />restaurant, there was also a building in the back that was like a koa shop, is that still <br />occupied? <br />Singletary: We use the annex building as storage right now, and then there's also a <br />house that's part of the property that is actually utilized by our landlord and she just <br />uses it for storage, she's never there, we haven't seen her in the whole year we've had <br />the lease, so. <br />Hitsman: Yes, so just the restaurant building is what we're currently utilizing and that's <br />what we have the special -use permit for only. <br />Nishimoto: And then you say you share the driveway with the house in the back? <br />Hitsman: Yes, there's I think what, three houses back there? <br />Singletary: Well, there's two driveways, and so one driveway we share with one <br />neighbor, the other driveway sits side by side. <br />Hitsman: It's our designated, we do have a designated driveway. <br />Singletary: We do have a driveway that is designated just for us but they use it as well, <br />but it's the one that goes directly to our parking lot, and then there's a driveway that <br />runs right along the side of that easement that actually accesses all the other properties. <br />Nishimoto: Yes, I think one other concern was parking and safety in regards to the <br />driveway, so like you said if you're posting signs, clearly visible signs that would help <br />you know. <br />Hitsman: Yes, and we want the community members to let us know immediately like <br />if they see someone parking there, like we will deal with it, like we're not just letting <br />people camp out there. So, you know, we will be asking people to move vehicles like <br />that's not okay, we wouldn't want our driveway blocked. <br />Singletary: I don't perceive it being a problem anyways, I mean we stay very busy as it <br />is and we don't have any issues with parking as of now. <br />Hitsman: We do have a fairly large parking lot. <br />Taniguchi: I have a question, so that one complaint that mentioned parking, mentioned <br />that they block the driveway and that the rude customers have yelled at me for driving in <br />my own driveway. <br />Singletary: We read that and I think that's a complete falsehood because we would <br />have heard something like that happened, we would've been notified of it immediately. <br />We have had no incident whatsoever. <br />MINUTES - LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, MAY 11 2025 - HILO PAGE 6 OF 63 <br />
