Lai: We're a full service restaurant with a bar and so I'd like to use the additional building for <br /> overflow, especially since Luquin's has closed down for a while. We are so busy and we need <br /> additional space. <br /> Takaba: Okay, that's good. Yes. <br /> Greenwell: By including the parking lot then the alcohol may be dispensed anywhere in the <br /> parking lot area? Is that correct? <br /> Takase: Yes. <br /> Greenwell: From car to car? <br /> Takase: What's that? <br /> Greenwell: So from car to car means that they can serve it to those cars. This is like a Mel's <br /> Drive Inn thing? I'm not cool on how this works. <br /> Takase: No, I mean they may set up areas within the parking lot to serve so I think you know <br /> one of the things we talked about is they may set-up tables outside of the restaurant to have <br /> kind of an outside dining ambience. I don't think we're talking about car service. <br /> Lai: No <br /> Greenwell: I don't know what we're talking about. <br /> Lai: We have thought of special events where we would clear out the parking lot. Because the <br /> Akebono is not there anymore, perhaps do a concert in that area. <br /> Lopez: I guess the thing that comes to mind to me, is it possible for somebody to purchase <br /> alcohol and drive away with it? <br /> Takase: No, because they can't leave the premises with alcohol purchased there. <br /> Lopez: There are not supposed to, yeah? <br /> Takase: Unless it's resealed. You know so same like if it was indoor facility. You can't just walk <br /> out with your alcohol. Primarily at this point she's licensing the premise so she can herself <br /> transit back and forth between the two buildings ... <br /> Lopez: ... Mmhm ... <br /> Takase: ... with alcohol service, if it wasn't a licensed area you know we have to create <br /> something for her to do that or require a second bar in the second building. She has talked <br /> about it but I guess it all depends on how busy it is; if it's worth setting up a second bar on the <br /> other side. So this is kind of a way to provide her that opportunity to do that and secondly it <br /> provides an outdoor area. We have had other licensees that have licensed their entire parcel <br /> and have had bigger parties in that area when needed. <br /> Lopez: So any concern I may have about them driving away with alcohol is a non-issue. <br /> MARCH 2, 2017—LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 17 <br />
