the former BORDER'S BOOKS AND MUSIC sign that had lettering and symbols 12 inches taller and approximately 130 square feet larger than Applicant's proposed sign, (4) a variance already exists for a COLDWELL BANKER MARYL REALITY sign that is approximately 4 square feet larger than Applicant's proposed sign, (5) the granting of the variance will not unreasonably violate the interest, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the public inasmuch as the proposed sign will identify the location of the Applicant's business premises for the public and no other outside identification exists for the Applicant's business along any street frontage, (6) a strict application of the terms of the County Code to the Applicant would work an unnecessary hardship and practical difficulty on the Applicant inasmuch as another larger sign has already obtained a variance for placement on the same wall along the same street frontage, and (7) granting the variance will not constitute a grant of personal or special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties under identical ordinances, statutes, or rules, inasmuch as the variance would allow the applicant the same general privileges enjoyed by other businesses and commercial/ industrial uses in the County, this is a limited variance allowing for only one sign with letters no more than 9 inches taller, a symbol no more than 21 inches taller, and area approximately 17 square feet larger than the Code limitation will comply with all other requirements of the County Code which is adjacent to a larger sign for an unrelated business that has previously been granted a variance from the same Code limitations; and WHEREAS, under Section 3-22(a), Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as Amended), the Hawai`i County Council is authorized to grant, by resolution, a request for a variance from any provision of the Chapter 3 if the request meets the standards of Division 6 of Chapter 3 of the County Code; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII, in accordance with Hawai`i County Code Section 3-22(a), that the Application of Anderson Wealth Planning, Inc., for a variance from Hawai`i County Code Sections 3-58 (a)(5)(B), 3-58(c), & 3- 59 (a)(4) be, and hereby is, GRANTED, subject to the following conditions: 1.
