I will print it out and share it with Harry also, as he is very interested in the sign code. Thank you for your cooperative attitude in working with us on this matter! Dixie ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis -Tyler To: cohmo interpac.net ; cohdpw@ilhawaii.net ; Chris Yuen ; lashida a co_hawaii.hi.us Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:05 AM Subject: Draft Revisions, County Sign Code October 2, 2001 TO: Dixie Kaetsu, Managing Director; Dennis Lee, DPW Director; Chris Yuen, PD Director; Lincoln Ashida, Corp. Counsel Aloha! As you know, over the last 3 years, the County Council, through its Public Works Committee, has been considering proposed revisions to the Sign Code (Chapter 3, County Code); however, for some time, the matter has been deferred. During this time, I have been working to address concerns expressed by the public and to find ways to improve the code by incorporating ideas from other counties and the public itself. I also have worked directly with the office of the Corporation Counsel and Building Division, as well as the Outdoor Circle, which, itself, has sought input from their business members and others throughout the county. At this time, I am happy to report that much of the preliminary work has been completed (see asterisk below). However, since the implementation and enforcement of the sign code is really an administrative matter, I wanted to provide you and your department with the opportunity to review and comment on this latest draft proposal. For this reason, and to facilitate your review and comment, I have attached my proposed revisions as a Word document in Ramseyer format. Since I would like to have this matter agendized for early November, I will appreciate receiving your response by October 10. This will allow adequate time to review your comments and make any further revisions by the posting deadline. I consider your individual help and direct input to be crucial in making this ordinance the best it can be. Collaboration is so vital to this process, and I thank you deeply for your willingness to kokua in this important public matter. I look forward to receiving your thoughts soon. Of course, if you have any questions about this request, please email or call me. * There seems to be a strong interest in Kona for the Kailua Village Design Commission, rather than the Planning Commission, to be the decision-making body for sign variances in the Kailua Village Special Design District. As a former member of the Commission, I think this idea merits serious consideration. However, in order to give you more time to review the whole proposal, I have not yet included any specific language in that regard. Nevertheless, I would appreciate any thoughts you might have about including such a revision. 10/2/01
