Justification for Variance Request No. Cl for Sign Type SFWY-ID-1: <br /> The 940 foot length of the Property frontage along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. reduces the visual impact <br /> of a larger wall sign for vehicles travelling along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. <br /> The Property and all buildings within the Niumalu project are well below Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. <br /> (approx. 32 feet below), severely restricting visibility for vehicles traveling along Queen Ka'ahumanu <br /> Hwy. Only the portion of the Safeway building tower(and the attached wall sign)will be visible from <br /> Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. <br /> Large canopy trees located along the Queen Ka'ahumanu frontage (and required and recommended for <br /> approval by the KVDC)will further limit the visual impact of the larger sign for vehicles travelling <br /> along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy roadway corridor. <br /> KVDC Recommendation: <br /> At the 1/7/19 KVDC meeting, the Commission recommended reducing the diameter of the SFWY-ID-1 <br /> Tower ID symbol to three(3)foot six(6) inch diameter(3.50 feet). <br /> The Owner submitted revised documents,reducing the diameter of the SFWY-ID-1 Tower ID symbol <br /> from 8 feet 8 inch diameter to three(3)foot six(6) inch diameter(3.50 feet). The overall sign area was <br /> reduced from seventy(70) square feet to ten(10)square feet. <br /> At the 3/5/19 KVDC meeting,the Commission recommended approval of the revised documents. <br /> Sign Variance Request No.C2 <br /> Hawaii County Code Requirements: <br /> Hawaii County Code Section 3-59 - Sign elevation. <br /> (a) Maximum sign elevation,measured from the finished ground elevation to the top of the sign, shall <br /> be as follows: <br /> (4) Wall sign.
