Lee, P. E., Director Department of Public Works County of Hawai`i Dear Mr. Lee: SUBJECT: Kailua Village Design Commission Meeting of May 6, 2014 Applicant: Ina Custom Signs Land Owner: Kona Hospitality LLC Design Review of a sign variance for two wall signs and a ground sign Tax Map Key: 7-5-007:009 (COR-14-091207) This letter is to inform you that the Kailua Village Design Commission, at its May 6, 2014 meeting, voted to recommend to the Public Works Director that the three signs proposed in the subject variance application be revised as to their size or placement as set forth below prior to your referral of this application to the County Council for its consideration: 1. The proposed mauka wall sign (facing Kuakini Highway) should be reduced in size to a maximum of sixteen (16) square feet and be comprised of only the Holiday Inn Express logo, that being the white "H" on the green square background as shown in the application. This would result in a sign area of approximately one-half of that proposed for this sign. 2. Placement of the proposed wall sign facing Sarona Road should be relocated to a lower elevation, directly below the proposed location, to be at the middle of the second floor elevation, in order to ensure long-term visibility under mature tree canopies and minimize unnecessary light projection beyond the necessary street exposures. 3. The size, shape and materials of the proposed ground sign should be revised as follows: a. The size of the ground sign should be reduced to comprise a maximum sign area of eighteen (18) square feet if the revised sign includes both logo and lettering, or a maximum of sixteen (16) square feet if it includes only a logo and background color as described in Recommendation No. 1 above. The Commission encouraged the applicant to consider repeating the same sign, in size, form and content, as recommended above for the mauka building wall (Recommendation No. 1). b. Rather than being mounted on a pedestal, the sign, whether single or double-sided, should be framed within a surrounding lava rock structure consistent with the appearance of lava rock walls in Kailua Village Hawaii county is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer 1 4�: ,0�.2.'h1 7:.
