The proposed sign meets the size limits if considered a "wall". If the proposed sign is considered a wall, notwithstanding the 6' policy definition of a wall, the proposed lettering conforms with the limits for a sign in a commercial district-- i.e., the lettering area would be equal to or less than 20% of the wall surface area (9 s.f. of lettering is 20% of 46 s.f. of wall area). If only the area consisting of the sum of the letters is measured as set forth in the sign ordinance for an unframed sign,' then the 6.61 s.f. area nearly meets the 6 s.f. limit for a sign in the residential district. As a ground sign, the proposed sign would be smaller than the approved Kaiser Permanente sign if the "effective" sign area (entire structure including the base) for the Kaiser Permanente sign is considered instead of the "technical" sign area (excluding the base). The proposed sign location does not pose any public safety hazard. The proposed sign location would be sufficiently set back from the street to not pose a traffic hazard in terms of distracting drivers, obstructing visibility, or adding potential collision obstacles for veering vehicles. A minimum of 10' has been recommended for street setback.' The proposed sign would be located 13' from the right-of-way boundary. 11 i DATED: Hilo, . ••.ii, November 13, 1996 wIv. sto, Executive Director Hae Restorative Care Center 'Hawaii County Code §3-24(a)(3).
