WHEREAS, under Section 3-23(a), Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as Amended), the variance may be granted where (1) the variance is necessitated by the peculiarity of the Applicant's outside sign requirements, (2) the adjacent tenants will not be adversely affected inasmuch as they have approved the Applicant's request, (3) 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, (4) 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, (5) 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, and (6) the limited variance allowing an increase in the area of the sign to no greater than 18 square feet will comply with all other requirements of the County Code; and WHEREAS, under Section 3-22(a), Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as Amended), the Hawaii 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 Hawaii County Code Section 3-22(a), that the Application of Colleen Gold/ Waipi'o Cookhouse, for a variance from Hawaii County Code Section 3-12(a) be and hereby is, GRANTED, subject to the following conditions: 1. The variance shall allow for a ground sign substantially as represented in the revised Application as to size, design, location, construction and other material characteristics. 2. The variance shall run with the land and remain in force for so long as the Applicant or a successor shall continue its business at the Subject Property.
