Commissioner Matsunaga noted that the current schedule is 4 days a week
from 2:00 pm — 8:00 pm, and commented that he felt those are short hours.
Mr. Darrell agreed, explaining that it was a big operation to get up and
running, and they are trying to do things slowly, but surely.
Commissioner Oda noted that according to the information provided, the
applicant has an approved, but not issued Restaurant General license
already, but the applicant has decided not to exercise this license. He
questioned what happened to the previous Restaurant General license they
had been approved for to which Investigator Moises explained, that license
dies.
Commissioner Matsunaga asked why the applicant would not be exercising
the Restaurant General license they were previously approved for. Mr.
Darrel explained it had to do with building permit issues with the Planning
Department, noting that the infrastructure for the building required a few
hundred thousand dollars of work, which they did not have in their budget.
Their goal was to get the old store operational again, which prompted them
to switch to a Retail Dealer General license application.
Mr. Endo moved to approve Application No.
The public hearing for Application No. 2016 -113 was closed.
