REPORT OF THE <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE <br />DATE: November 18, 2014 <br />PLACE: Council Chambers <br />Kona, Hawaii <br />TIME: 10:32 a.m. <br />Council Chair and Members <br />Hawaii County Council <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Re: Comm. No. 1081/Res. No. 552-14 <br />Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation, to which was referred Resolution No. 552-14, <br />reports as follows: <br />Resolution No. 552-14, transmitted by Public Works Director Warren H. W. Lee, via Communication <br />No. 1081 dated September 11, 2014, grants a variance from Chapter 3, Section 3-12(a), Hawaii County <br />Code 1983(2005 Edition, as amended), to allow one ground sign on 48-5370 Honoka`a/Waipi`o Road, Tax <br />Map Key: 4-8-006:043 (zoned "A" Agricultural District). <br />At the meeting of October 14, 2014, Your Committee expressed concern that the sign is too large and voted <br />unanimously to postpone the measure to the November 6, 2014 meeting to allow the applicant to revise the <br />variance request. <br />At the meeting of November 6, 2014, the measure was again postponed for further discussion with the <br />applicant on the desired size of the sign. <br />Resolution No. 552-14 was amended with the contents of Communication No. 1081.2, which reflects the <br />change of the variance request, from no greater than 32 square feet to no greater than 18 square feet. <br />Mr. Larry Vitlag, representing the applicant, came forward to address members of Your Committee, and <br />stated that the sign is a lot more pleasant to the eye and asked Your Committee to support the variance <br />request to establish the sign. Council Member Poindexter stated that she met with the applicant and was <br />pleased that they hired a local graphic artist to create their design. <br />Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and intent of <br />Resolution No. 552-14 as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its adoption. <br />Ic <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DRU MAMO KANUHA, CHAIR <br />PWPRC REPORT NO.: 92 <br />ADOPTED: DEC 1 7 2014T <br />A) ES NOES ABS EX <br />EOFF <br />X <br />FORD <br />X <br />(LAGAN <br />X <br />KANUHA <br />X <br />KERN <br />X <br />ONISHI <br />X <br />POINDEXTER <br />X <br />WILLS <br />X <br />YOSHIMOTO <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DRU MAMO KANUHA, CHAIR <br />PWPRC REPORT NO.: 92 <br />ADOPTED: DEC 1 7 2014T <br />
