community outreach list that the proponents have gone and done their duty and they are good neighbors, they have been good neighbors so they like to be part of the neighborhood and they have built out of the opening and this is really a gorgeous building out. mr. gordon is a jazz musician of some note in the community. this is the first block of mason street. this is a catty corner to 34 mason st. and this is a very popular restaurant. if you have any questions otherwise, my clients are here to answer questions and we will

that it was very relaxing. this would be catering to the jazz and singer-songwriter is and small bands. this is sort of very mellow. the only thing out ask is that they always hire local. and thank you. >> thank you for your comments. public comment is closed. >> i would like to think -- you

are developing a smart response. the summary that you've given us is good outreach to the neighborhood and knowledge in that there are issues and the applicants can do the things that will address those issues and as a result, you have neighbors showing up in full support of the project. >> let's do this at the call of

receive a final grant. >> my name is marsha garland. i am here to represent this. this is based on an injunction that had been drawn up by the

city attorney for the previous owner. recently, that a planning commission hearing, there was another karaoke business. there is some resistance in our society to the notion of society. let me give you some visuals. this is the old place.

these are very broad streets. there has been an issue with smoking and the illegal use of alcohol on the premises. i wish you had more clients like kurt. this is open until 2:00 or 3:00. we've really got our eyes open. this is no closing at 12th.

the big issue here is that the police captain with who we met, we have done an amazing amount of hours both together and when we have gone door-to-door. the previous owner would like to end earlier. 10:00 just doesn't make it in this business. also nearby, three blocks away, this is her nearest competitors. this is not permitted as of yet. they are allowed to stay open

until 2:00 a.m. without a permit. i will step back and let wendy speak for herself. >> good evening, commissioners. i feel it is unfair that we have to close at 10:00 p.m. because 70% of my business comes from after 10:00 p.m.. my customers are mostly college students and family people who are looking for a safe and clean place to relax. please permit my business to open until 2:00 a.m. >> commissioners, any questions. >> you held other businesses,

will pass them to open their backs to see if alcohol and then we could ask security to make sure that they did not bring this in. >> i put the bottle down my pants, this is not in the bag. >> to also use a want -- a w and. >> we will be conducting pat downs and we will have the wands as well. as far as someone having a flask

or something, those of the types of things that we try to avoid and hopefully that will not happen. if they have them in their underwear or deep down in their pants, that is kind of tough. >> will you have female security guards? >> we will have a female and male. we will have two officers. will someone inside and won an onset of the board and as needed for pat downs as far as males or females, we will do >> my last question is for anyone of you. your opening a karaoke club with the same configuration. you are changing the name. let me finish my question. how is it that you intend to

stop the previous clientele from showing up to that karaoke club? >> it is not a club. it is just a place for people to come, it's not a club. we don't have an alcohol license. my experience is mostly with college students. they make that club card -- i only want to cater to college and family oriented. >> how are you going to do that? what methre
