Kona Outdoor Circle--Comments to Proposed Sign)r.iinuuce Bi l No. 280 8/17198 Page 1/5 Division 2, Definitions: Page 3. Item (3) Marquee saes _.structure extends beyond the building, building line, or property line. Comment: This would seem to be inappropriate, to allow a sign to extend beyond one's property line. Page 4, Item (6) Sign _.includes the word "billboard " Comment: Billboards should not be allowed anywhere at any time,therefore, should not be mentioned herein . Page 4, Item(7)refers to temporary signs or banners. Comment: The committee is concerned about ''banners." We have no objection to temporary signs or banners as defined here. Bar-gars that are permanent , by any reasonable person's definition, should not be allowed at commercial establishments. We are concerned, as example, about banners and flags that can and do crowd and flutter about used car lots. These contribute to a "Cons'Island"-type atmosphere, which the Kona Outdoor Circle and many community members would like to avoid completely. These baimers are clearly not tempcorar- . There are other examples. Division 3, Sign Area: Page 6. Item(3) (definition for measuring sions \vi:h words, designs. etc.) Comment: We find the methodology for measurement confusing, and would suggest that this be relooked. We also believe that in the second to last line, which indicates the area consider each ward, design, or g gure really should be all words, designs, and figures. This should be clarified and i-,! de simple enough for any businessperson to calculate. Division 4, Sign Regulations: Page 7, Section 3-7. Item (2)--'each of the signs . .shall be of a different sign type. Comment: Why a different sign type? This is quite confusing to the KOC, and probably to businesspeople as well! Page 7. Item(c)...applicant is otherwise legzily permitted to conduct activities not normally allowed in the district... Comment: should be clarified--why would anyone be permitted to conduct activities not normally allowed in that district? This sounds like an imitation to break the law! If someone is allowed to do something in a different district, i.e. conduct industrial business in a residential district, we believe that the signs used should conform to that district ,not to the district within which use would generally be allowed. So in this situation, the signs would still have to conform to residential district requirements, not to industrial d is`-:iot rec!_zip-aT.;:.ents. If a contractor operates out of his home in a residential district,he ;sho tid not be permitted to have a large sign advertising his business.
