p.4 <br /> E-1 Abatement policy: ref:Division 11 3-35 <br /> Existing signs which are illegal {non-conforming?) should be removed according to <br /> the same guidelines as used by Kailua Village, that is, over a scheduled time period. <br /> By allowing 6 months before an ordinance comes into effect, and with this paragraph, <br /> any and all illegal signs could remain indefinitely, provided they were kept in good <br /> order, and it would give people 6 months in which to erect them, the way the code <br /> reads. <br /> E-2 Section 3-12 <br /> Many of the sign sizes, and allowed lettering (ie: 2 feet on roof signs, 32 square feet for <br /> ground signs) are already larger than that allowed in most Special Design districts. <br /> The majority of our villages are rural, not even considered as 'small towns'(Las Vegas, <br /> in the APA signage brochure, for instance, is considered amiddle-sized community) <br /> If all signs were modestly sized, as long as they are readable (at village speeds, 4" at <br /> <br /> curbside is sufficient) then the urge to outdo the next business might be contained. <br /> In conclusion: I personally hope that ,also as a former business person, we would all <br /> come together and help to preserve that which makes this a special place. It is more <br /> valuable in the long run, and more cost-effective, than spoiling what we have now, for <br /> <br /> a short-term gain. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Karin Hazelhott <br /> <br />
