Takaba: Do we have a motion? <br />Nahale-a: Move to approve request to indefinitely extend hours of business from <br />2 a.m. — 4 a.m. for the purpose of food service only to patrons. <br />Takaba: Second? <br />Onizuka: Second. <br />Takaba: Moved and seconded. Discussion? <br />Takase: Let me explain what the request was. She's not here. She came in to see us <br />and asked if she could extend her hours. First, she was asking for a cabaret <br />license but I convinced her that she wasn't going to qualify for a cabaret. Then <br />she told me the real reason why she wants to try to stay open to serve meals <br />from 2 — 4. For two reasons, one for her customers and secondly, there's <br />people that go to Nori's to find out they are closed. She's hoping to capture that <br />market. <br />Takaba: What time is Nori's open till? <br />Takase: I'm not sure. I thought that stayed open late. I want to say 12. <br />Takaba: But how would that affect? <br />Takase: She's right next door right. <br />Takaba: Yeah I know, but from 2 — 4 she opens. <br />Takase: She's open already anyway from 2, maybe she's getting customers as it is but <br />she wants to extend that extra two hours. I told her it's out of the ordinary but I <br />would bring it to the Commission. We do have other licensees that remain open <br />even though they can't serve. That would be the hotels, also the convenience <br />stores. They have to shut off serving liquor or selling liquor but they do remain <br />open. We've also had previous dispenser licensees. I remember Ken's <br />Pancake House use to have a bar operation. So it's not totally new and not <br />totally unheard of, but I told her I would bring it to the Commission first. Then <br />you folks can decide if you want to allow this operation. She would shut down <br />her bar, as it is now, but what this would do is to allow her to stay open to serve <br />food between 2 and 4. I don't know how successful it would be but she does <br />want to try. Told her I'll take it to the Commission and see. That's where we're <br />at. <br />Takaba: Any questions, Commissioners? <br />Nahale-a: Is there a way for us to do a trial period, like we've done in the past. <br />MAY 4, 2017 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br />45 <br />
