SMA Minor Update
September 6, 2017

On August 2nd Hanapohaku received an SMA minor permit. This permit took months of work to coordinate with different agencies, community groups, engineers, and the current tenants on the property. We listened and responded to concerns and we feel confident we have reached a solution that works for everyone. Hanapohaku gave notice to all tenants and has signed new license agreements with the five food truck establishments that will have licenses to operate under the new agreement, inclusive of the SMA minor conditions. These new license agreements commence on September 9th and require the trucks to be fully mobile and compliant. The tenants who will be staying are in the process of ensuring compliance with the SMA minor permit conditions by September 9th. Addressing specific conditions in the permit (responses in bold):
