Takase: It was kind of a front end, "what if" kind of a situation. The Board at that time, imposed a lot of conditions on the licensee. We can work with the Licensee and see what the situation is now. We have allowed other establishments in the area that do have later night entertainment also. O'Sullivan: I think most of the opposition died of old age. Takase: I think they moved away, actually. O'Sullivan: There was one guy who was complaining every night until he finally moved away. We haven't had any complaints at all from anybody. We ask them all the time when they come in, they say everything's fine, and say, "oh yeah—we're great. You guys opened and everything's better." Chu: Ok, we'll come back on that on that issue. Takaba: Do we have any public testimony in this application? If not, we'll go to the motion, because since no one's testifying, we won't be asking any questions. Taniguchi: Move to approve Application T17-12. If approved, public hearing to be held on December 7, 2017, in Kailua-Kona. Onizuka: Second. Mr. Taniguchi moved to approve that Application No. T17-12, Last Call Saloon, dba Last Call Saloon, for a sale and transfer of the Restaurant General liquor license, Category B2, currently held by Landing Ohana LLC, dba The Landing Restaurant, located at 45-3490 Mamane Street, Unit G, Honoka`a, Hawaii, TMK: 4-5-006:014, for a public hearing to be held on December 7, 2017, in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; seconded by Mr. Onizuka. Takaba: Moved and seconded to approve. Any discussion? Taniguchi: I have a question. Gerald, in their instance, if they came in for one of those special event permits for 10:00 P.M., could they do that and see if there are any complaints? Takase: That might be something we could work out; like a temporary extension. O'Sullivan: Tomorrow is First Friday. Taniguchi: Yes. If you did that, you could see if there's any feedback from the community. NOVEMBER 2, 2017 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 10
