However, in each of the cases, we've gone through and assured them that it's not going to be <br />a late night venue like the other end of Coconut Grove. <br />They've typically been satisfied and for the other two, Fumi's and Poke N Crab, we have not <br />had any complaints. I asked him about that as well and he said they were satisfied with those <br />two venues. I don't think this one will be much different. They were okay with what was being <br />proposed. <br />Taniguchi: Anybody else? <br />Salave`a: Mr. Chair, can I get a little more clarification on the Applicant's plans for the music? <br />Nguyen: We haven't really spoken to any performers yet, but right now, we're leaning more <br />toward local Hawaiian solo performers. And perhaps, maybe, a pair that would just do more <br />local themed music. <br />Salave`a: And primarily indoors as you stated, and you don't have any plans to expand <br />outdoors? <br />Nguyen: We do have space outside, but we wouldn't be playing anytime past 9:00 or 10:00 <br />(P.M.). <br />Salave`a: So, everything you have is indoors? <br />Nguyen: Well... <br />Salave`a: Or, if you do have outdoors, it won't go past 9:00 or 10:00? <br />Nguyen: It won't go past 9:00 or 10:00 at night. If I have music playing past that time, it would <br />be indoors. <br />Takase: For the Commission's benefit, the location that she's at was the former Lava Java <br />location. They were not a licensee, they were a coffee shop that morphed into a restaurant as <br />well. They used to have entertainment outside on their patio area with their backs to Alii <br />Drive, I think daily. I talked to our investigators about it and we received complaints about <br />them in the past. We deferred all of them because they were not a licensee, but our <br />investigators it was dependent upon the type of music. When they had Hawaiian music, it <br />wasn't a problem. It's when they had the Reggae bands playing; that seemed to generate the <br />problems. We made the Applicants aware of the previous situation and they understand. They <br />are going to meet with the condo association today or tomorrow, as well, to trade information. <br />I don't anticipate any problems at this point in time. <br />Taniguchi: Anybody else? <br />There were no other questions from the Commissioners. <br />7 <br />
