Takaba: If not, then we'll proceed to public hearing. We have four items today. The <br /> first item is Application No. 16-13, Papa'aloa Market & Café LLC dba Papa'aloa Country <br /> Store and Café, for an original Dispenser General liquor license. <br /> 1. Application No. 16-13 <br /> Papa'aloa Market & Café LLC dba Papa'aloa Country Store and Café <br /> (Café), for an original Dispenser General liquor license, Category B2, <br /> located at 35-2032 Old Mamalahoa Highway, Papa'aloa, Hawaii, <br /> TMK: 3-5-008:18. <br /> Solomon Burke Member of the LLC was present. <br /> Takaba: Can you identify yourself, please and your relation to the business? <br /> Burke: I'm Solomon Burke and I'm the owner. <br /> Takaba: Thank you. Do you have any changes to your report? <br /> Burke: Nope. <br /> Takaba: Can you describe your business? <br /> Burke: We have a general store and café. We serve local food and pizzas and <br /> burgers and we have alcohol sales and a cooking distribution tank. We serve the local <br /> community; pretty much the only one that's located on the Hamakua coast, right in the <br /> middle. We are looking to expand to a restaurant and a small bar with drinks. <br /> Takaba: Director Takase, do you have any report of protest? <br /> Takase: Mr. Chairman, the Applicant mailed 1 out of 1 notices within 100 feet; 19 out of <br /> 20 within 500 feet; there were 19 properties entitled to protest. We received no protest <br /> to this application, but we did receive one letter of support from Jim and Harvest <br /> Edmonds, he's your next door neighbor who are in full support of their application. <br /> Takaba: Okay, thank you. Do we have any public testimony for this particular <br /> application? <br /> There was no reply from the public. <br /> Takaba: If not, do we have any discussion? <br /> Mukai: Mr. Chairman? <br /> Takaba: Yes. <br /> Mukai: I'd just like to comment on further of what Director Takase has said. It's very <br /> unusual that we have a support letter from someone that's lived adjacent to one of our <br /> applicants. I read the letter and it's very well done. I take it that you've been a good <br /> neighbor in the neighborhood all this time. Thank you. <br /> FEBRUARY 2, 2017-LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br /> 4 <br />
