3. Limberg Inc., dba Oceans Sports Bar and Grill, pursuant to Rule 1-16 <br /> of the Rules and Regulations of the Liquor Commission of the Department <br /> of Liquor Control of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, requests an <br /> amendment to its liquor license condition by letter dated and recorded on <br /> January 15, 2017, received January 15, 2017, for a trial period to keep the <br /> Makai and front-facing windows open when live entertainment or amplified <br /> entertainment is provided for by DJ before 10:00 P.M., to its Dispenser <br /> General liquor license, Category B2, located at Coconut Grove <br /> Marketplace, 75-5811 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. <br /> Shirley Hull, Manager and Todd Hull, Manager were present. <br /> S. Hull: My name is Shirley Hull and I'm a Manager at Ocean's Sports Bar and Grill. <br /> T. Hull: My name is Todd Hull and I'm also a Manager at Ocean's Sports Bar and Grill. <br /> Takaba: Can you explain your request? <br /> S. Hull: Our request is to, for a trial period, allow us to keep our Makai and front-facing <br /> windows open while there is live entertainment. What we're trying to get is foot traffic <br /> from Ali`i Drive because once our windows are closed a lot of people think we are <br /> closed. Between the hours of 6:00 or whenever we start live entertainment until 10:00, <br /> we always do close our windows after 10:00. <br /> Takase: Mr. Chairman, there is a condition upon the licensee and they had noise <br /> problems, I'll say in the distant past. They had asked us if they can amend these <br /> conditions to allow them to stay open; well keep the windows open when they do have <br /> entertainment. I said we'd be willing to try on a trial basis and that's why we're here to <br /> get your consent. I think right now you're proposing to leave the windows open to, <br /> leave the windows open till 10:00? <br /> S. Hull: Correct. <br /> Takase: They will still be open later, but they will close it at 10:00 P.M. And that's the <br /> compromise. They recognize that residences are still over and across from there and <br /> we hadn't had any complaints. Two weeks ago, we had our Investigators out with the <br /> sound meters; both at the condos, down at their places, and various places around <br /> Coconut Grove. I'll say from the reports I read, it went well. There were no complaints. <br /> I guess as the Department and on their behalf, we are asking you folks to give them a <br /> trial period and we will monitor their noise and report back to the Commission, coming <br /> forward to amend the conditions. They know they need to perform during this time. It's <br /> up to them. <br /> Takaba: Yes. <br /> Gonzalez: Mr. Director, this is Brandon, Administrative Officer. The test monitoring <br /> period occurred on Sunday, January 22"d, and the licensee closed their windows at 9:00 <br /> FEBRUARY 2,2017-LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br /> 26 <br />
