3 3-13 Add section: Persons constructing signs for others to display must sign off on the permit application, and adhere to a permit issued by the Building Department. Add section: The County of Hawaii will notify Island sign companies of this ordinance in writing, specifically highlighting Section 3-13. In the yellow pages, there are fewer than 30 sign companies listed. It should not be too difficult for the County to send them the ordinance, with a summary sheet, advising them to look for the permit and keep their clients informed. (Outside of the ordinance, it would be a good idea to notify Island realtors so they they inform potential property buyers.) 3-16(a) Add section: The name, address, and signature of the person who will construct the sign. 3-22(8) After the word "tenants" add: "or other County residents," 3-23(a)(1) "peculiarity of a business" is too vague. Can we discuss examples? Most businesses are a little different. This is a good example of why variances should be discussed at open forums. If the ordinance stated, for example, that variances would be addressed on the first Tuesday of even months, then the public would be able to make an effort to attend and give input. 3-23(a)(2) After the word "tenants" add: "or other County residents," 3-35(a)(2) After the word "alteration" add: "replacement," 3-39 Add section: Non-compliance with written notice shall be taken into account when application is made for any other County or State permit (such as liquor license). Add an abatement schedule, like the one for Kailua Village, so that businesses have time to change. Suggest the abatement period span five instead of three years, and the period for signs costing under $500 be extended to a full year. This should ease the hardship of converting signs. ~`J ,s c~ y iVlSiin Respectfully submitted, ~
