9 <br />r, <br />RECEIVED <br />Marnarnaria LLC dba Gill's Lanai S W <br />65-1279 Kawaihae Rd., #114 NOV 7 2025 <br />808.987.2254 <br />kenjishousekohala@gmail.com <br />November 7th, 2025 <br />Honorable Liquor Commission Members, <br />Dept. of Liquor Control <br />HILO <br />My name is Michael Mejia, manager of MamaMaria LLC, dba Gill's Lanai. I am writing to <br />respectfully request an additional twelve-month extension on our liquor license application <br />process. <br />Since our last extension, we have been actively working with our landlord, engineers, <br />architects, and the County of Hawai0i Planning Department to satisfy all compliance <br />requirements and obtain approval of our Change of Use permit. All required documents have <br />been completed and submitted, and we are now awaiting final review and response from the <br />Planning Department. <br />While significant progress has been made toward full compliance, final approvals and <br />subsequent inspections remain pending due to procedural review timelines that are beyond <br />our control. Granting this one-year extension will allow us to complete the process diligently <br />and ensure that all steps are performed in accordance with County and Commission <br />standards without risking a lapse in our application status. <br />We remain committed to operating responsibly within our community and to maintaining the <br />high standards expected by the Liquor Commission. Thank you for your continued <br />understanding, support, and consideration of this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Mejia <br />MamaMaria LLC <br />
