Public Works and Parks Committee Report Communication No. 182 Page Two In addition to the information contained in the applicant's sign variance request and Mr. Fuke's comments, Your Committee also considered a written statement from Mr. Wayne Onomura of the County of Hawaii's Department of Public Works' Building Division. In his statement, Communication No. 182.01, Mr. Onomura stated that the Building Division had no objection to this variance request, "unless the special use permit contained specific conditions that addressed the obtrusiveness of this wmmercial use in an agricultural area." Your Committee notes that because this commercial use was "grandfathered" in an agricultural zoned area, there was no special use permit involved in this case. Council Member Curtis Tyler also was present at the meeting and participated in the discussion. He suggested that the applicant obtain the input of the Waimea Outdoor Circle and the Waimea Community Association on this proposed sign variance. No testimony in opposition to the application was offered. On the basis of the information mentioned above, Your Committee found that the enforcement of Section 3-27 of the Hawaii County Code would work a hardship upon the applicant. Your Committee further found, that the granting of the variance would not be contrary to the spirit and purpose of Chapter 3, Article 1 of the Hawaii County Code and the public interest. Your Committee recommends approval of the Waimea Country Club's request for a variance from Section 3-27, Hawaii County Code, to allow one ground sign not to exceed 32 square feet, at the entrance to the Waimea Country Club fronting the Mamalahoa Highway.
