Takase: No, but would they be located in the? Ow: Indoors. Takaba: Yes, Dwayne. Mukai: Does the Applicant currently have a liquor license? Takase: No, he has been running the restaurant without a liquor license. Mukai: Without a liquor license, okay got it. Takase: There were previous licensees in that location. I think Ohana was the last one. Mukai: What kind of beverages do you plan to serve, if we do grant you, your liquor license? A full bar? Ow: It will be a full bar, but the main focus will be Sake, Soju, Wine and Beers. That would be the majority of them. Mukai: Thank you. Lopez: Question. Takaba: Yes, Steph. Lopez: The response with the entertainment being inside or outside, you said inside. But, in the application it also states, "also requesting the use of the outside lanai." Is that just for serving not for entertainment, dancing? Ow: When I was originally was talking to the people about setting up the license, they were saying, is it possible at a later date, I may want do, something similar to Lava Java's moving out of our complex to next door to the Coconut cause they have a single person sitting on their outside, so I wanted that option for the lanai diners. Lopez: So, there could be entertainment outside on the lanai. Ow: I thought you were referring to dancing and anything like that. Takase: I think you're aware of it, Lava Java was just actually here this morning has had outdoor entertainment forever it seems like. They had some problems in the beginning, but I think they worked through it. Just so long you're aware of it. Just kind of be aware of it. I wouldn't say, we should not allow him to have entertainment out there but. Lopez: Thank you, I just wanted to clarify what I was reading here. Ow: Thank you. Takaba: Any further discussion?
