I have lived in Kona for 30 yrs. <br /> During this time I have seen more and more disregard for the sign ordinance. In May I started my own campaign <br /> to have the illegal road signs removed .After many calls, a-mails and faxes I finally got to Mr. Bruce McClure who <br /> told me he was going to start to enforce the code. The previous"enforcers" were the building inspectors for <br /> construction,probably the two busiest guys in the county. It appears there was no plan to enforce this code. I was <br /> told all along that the sign issue was low priority. <br /> You have all seen the blight on our roadsides. One developer built real estate signs that were 3 ft by 4 ft. He had <br /> 4 in Queen Kahamanu Hwy ,2 on Mamaloha Hw. and 6 on Kaiminani Dr. Then the listing realtor put up a few of <br /> their own. The same developer has a billboard 4 ft by 8 ft. right across the road from the firehouse, this one still <br /> remains today. These signs have been up for over two years. This is abuse ! It also encourages other business <br /> to follow suit and one up the next persons signs with more and bigger signs. <br /> Kona is begining to look horrible ,lets nip this in the bud and help these folks figure another way to advertise <br /> their business and location. Thank you for your time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Tom Pyne <br /> Comm: Fla (0 5 8 <br /> Ref. To:~~~~ML <br /> Ref. Dore $ 2007 <br /> 9/13/2007 <br /> <br />
