CARR SMITH: Second. UNGER: We have a second by Commissioner Carr Smith. Discussion? SHIMAOKA: Yeah, my concern is the last-minute picture that we got. I just have a question because it says to 8:00 p.m. when the testimony was that they were going to 5:00 p.m. So that’s the only question I’ve got. UNGER: Would you like to address that with the applicant, or is this a question — SHIMAOKA: Yeah, I would. UNGER: — for the Commission? SHIMAOKA: Yeah, I would like to address that to the applicant. UNGER: Would the applicant please come back up? You can go ahead and respond. SHEEN: I’m assuming the sign said open until — SHIMAOKA: Yeah, the sign says — SHEEN: — 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. SHIMAOKA: — 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. How long has that sign been advertising like that? SHEEN: We don’t have a sign up. Can I see a copy of that, please? Okay. When we originally opened, we have a second location at the King Kamehameha Hotel, this sign sat there shortly advertising, and we corrected the hours. So this was a sign that we pulled from our King Kamehameha Hotel location where our signs were being made, and they corrected the hours shortly. This might have been out for a day or two until we corrected the hours for our local location. I think, if you look down here, I think it says “At the Kona Beach Hotel.” We are a very small company, so, signage is pretty expensive, so we put that up there and waited until we could afford to put our own signs up. SHIMAOKA: So you are saying this was only up for a like couple days. SHEEN: Correct, if, if even that. SHIMAOKA: Okay. UNGER: Commissioners? I do want to say that I hear the, I hear the complaint and I understand that there have been issues in the past. I will be voting in favor of the motion; I’m hoping that, moving forward with the Planning Department’s recommendations, the parking in the back, I do favor the applicant and the application. But I did want to state that I understand the complaint, 7 EXHIBIT A
