7. Application No. 16-27 <br />Lehua Lani, LLC, dba Kona Town Market, for an original Retail <br />General liquor license, located at 75-5909 Walua Road, Kailua-Kona, <br />Hawaii, TMK: 7-5-018:097. <br />Nathan Cook, Part Owner and Manager, was present. <br />Takaba: Can you identify yourself and your relation to the business. <br />Cook: I'm Nathan Cook, part owner and manager. <br />Takaba: Thank you. You have any changes to your report? <br />Cook: No <br />Takaba: No changes. Can you describe your business? <br />Cook: It's a retail convenience store/market. <br />Takaba: Director Takase can we have a report of protest? <br />Takase: Mr. Chairman, the applicant mailed one hundred ninety-nine out of two <br />hundred seventeen notices within one hundred feet and two hundred four out of two <br />hundred twenty-two notices within five hundred feet. There were two hundred twenty <br />two properties entitled to protest. We did receive one protest which I believe is in your <br />packet. The applicant also submitted four letters in support. <br />Takaba: Thank you. Do we have any public testimony? Members are there any <br />discussion? <br />Onizuka: Mr. Chair, the letter of protest that I'm reading here is referring to the hours. <br />They're complaining because of the hours and the businesses in that area. According to <br />this business, it's going to be open from 6 a.m. — 8 p.m.? <br />Cook: Yes <br />Onizuka: I don't think that's an unreasonable hour to be closing a business and I don't <br />think they'll be drawing the unwanted crowd. I think the letter of protest is for something <br />for record but I don't think it will affect the community. <br />Takaba: Anything else? <br />Nahale-a: Claude, you familiar with the area and you feel comfortable.... <br />MAY 4, 2017 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br />15 <br />
