Kona Outdoor Circle--Comments to Proposed Si n Ordinance Bill No. 280 8/17/98 <br /> Page 3/5 <br /> Page 9. (3) Any sign...not exceeding thirty-two square feet...public, charitable, no n-profit, <br /> or religious institution.. <br /> Comment: These organizations should be subject to the same rules as all others. <br /> Arid again, thirty-two square feet is too large. Waiving,permit fees for these <br /> organizations would be appropriate, but they should follow the same rules as the <br /> general public. <br /> Section 3-10. Signs allowed with permits, in all districts. <br /> Page 9. (1)Temporary signs or banners. <br /> Comment: A requirement for removal of temporary signs or banners should be <br /> included. For example,"the temporary sign or banner must be removed within 48 <br /> hours after the event it is promoting." We are concerned, also, with political signs, <br /> which can tend to remain in place for a long time following an election. <br /> Page 9, (B) Requirement for insurance. <br /> Comment: I believe it's quite costly to add the County as an additional insured on <br /> insurance policies; since many of the temporary banners are with non-profit <br /> organizations, this might be an unnecessary burden. Would it be possible to <br /> instead just require proof of insurance submitted along with the request for the <br /> temporary sign, which should include a Count=,-prepured statement holding the <br /> County etc.free and harmless? <br /> Section 3-11, Page 10. Signs permitted in residential districts. <br /> Comment: Eight square feet is too large for a r esitutinnl district. We would <br /> propose six square feet,to avoid having our residential areas look like commercial <br /> areas. <br /> Section 3-12, Signs permitted in all other districts. <br /> Page 10. (A) One ground sign not exceeding thirty-two square feet in area... <br /> Comment: Thirty two feet is too large. <br /> Page 11, (2) (A) Marquee Sign_.two hundred and fifty square feet... <br /> Comment: Two hundred and fifty square feet is totally unacceptable. We would <br /> propose one hundred and fifty square feet as the aamaximuum allowed size, or fifteen <br /> percent, whichever is less. The proposed size, 250 square feet, is really a <br /> billboard, to which the Kona Outdoor Circle is opposed. <br /> Page 11, (3) Projecting Si.gn... <br /> Comment: Thirty-two square feet is too big. Additionally, we find the wording in <br /> this section confusing relative to"six s'ec-t sbn e the bis'-.,.est attachment point on the <br /> building or six feet above the lowest edge of the roof, \viaicliever is higher." This <br /> sounds like this allows signs extending sin-feet sbc b roof. We are opposed. <br />
