E., Director Department of Public Works County of Hawaii Dear Mr. Lee: SUBJECT: Kailua Village Design Commission Meeting of March 20, 2012 Applicant: Goodyear Auto Service Center No. 8021 Land Owner: Queen Lili`uokalani Trust Design Review of a proposed Wall Sign for Goodyear Auto Service Center (Sign Variance Application) Tax Map Key: 7-4-015:010 (COR-12-077228) This letter is to inform you that the Kailua Village Design Commission, at its March 20, 2012 meeting, voted to recommend to the Public Works Director his conditional approval of the above-referenced sign variance application which would allow 22" high lettering, a 36" high logo and a mounting height of approximately 14 feet above finish grade. The Commission recommends that approval of the requested sign variance be subject to the condition that there be no other signs or banners of any type permitted or displayed for this business on this parcel of land, other than the one sign described in the variance application. The Commission stated the following reasons for its recommendation of conditional approval: 1. The sign area is less than 15% of the area of the wall on which it is to be mounted and is of reasonable proportion and harmony with the architecture of the building; 2. The sign is to be substantially setback from Kaiwi Street, at approximately 35 feet from the street front property line, and beyond which there are no pedestrian walkways and virtually all customer traffic is vehicular, from 10 to 20 feet further removed; 3. The proposed mounting height is appropriate for vehicle-based visibility above storefront parking and required ADA accessible parking sign heights. 4. The applicant has numerous seemingly impermissible banner, window, wall and other signs on the subject property (see Attachment A). Hawaii county is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
