Honorable Leningrad Elarionoff Page 2 February 18, 2003 • Section 3.61(a)(1) (ground sign) -Article 1 limits ground signs to one (1) per site. We would rather see one ground sign permitted per street frontage, sort of like what one would see at Coconut Grove Market Place, which fronts both Kuakini and Ali'i Drive. Instead of an aggregate total sign area, specify maximum signage area to be permitted, say 12 square feet in Kailua Village core and 22 square feet within the remainder of the Kailua Village Special District. • Section 3.61(a)(2)(B) (Marquee sign) -clarification that only one marquee sign upon the face of a marquee. Marquee signs within the Kailua Village Special District should be limited to no more than 22 square feet (or 12 square feet within Village core), similar to a wall sign. • Section 3.61(a)(3) (Projecting sign) - Article l states that projecting sign must be no lower than 9 feet above public way. While silent within this section of Article 2, we assume that the minimum height requirement specified within Article 1 will apply here as well. • Section 3.61(a)(4) (Wall sign) -second sentence in both (A) and (B) appears redundant when compared with the first sentence, which speak of maximum permitted sign area. • Provision within the sign code must be made to accommodate shopping complexes with multiple tenants and the need for multiple signs. Section 3-63 does limit wall signs to one per business or one for each street frontage. We question which requirement will prevail for a shopping center that fronts a street. We would rather see that each business be allowed a sign for each street frontage with a maximum area of 12 square feet if they are located within amulti-business complex within the Kailua Village core and a maximum sign area of 22 square feet if located outside of the village core. • Section 3-63 (Number ofSigns) -Provision should be made to allow for select combination of permitted signs instead of limiting the number of signs to one per business. For example, we would have no problem with a tenant requesting both a wall sign and a projecting sign, sort of like what one would find at Kona Coast Shopping Center or Lanihau Shopping Center. Such complexes cater to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
