15%maximum wall area allowed by the code. This shall further reduce the impact of these signs along the entire 328 foot Building 4(Safeway)frontage. The signs are positioned on the frontage to be proportional and compatible with the building architecture. KVDC Recommendation: At the 1/7/19 KVDC meeting,the Commission recommended reducing the diameter of Sign 105, Safeway symbol to 3 foot 6 inch diameter(3.50 feet),to match SFWY-ID-1 (Safeway Tower ID Sign), with the lettering being proportional. The Commission also recommended reducing the diameter of Sign 106, Starbucks symbol to 3 foot 6 inch diameter(3.50 feet) The Owner submitted revised documents,reducing the diameter of Sign 105, Safeway symbol to four feet (4.00 feet) in diameter,with the lettering being proportional. This resulted in sign area reduction for Sign 105 from one-hundred-twenty-five (125) square feet to seventy-seven(77) square feet. The revised documents also reduced the diameter of Sign 106, Starbucks symbol to 3 foot 6 inch diameter(3.50 feet). At the 3/5/19 KVDC meeting, the Commission recommended approval of the revised documents. Sign Variance Request No.D2 Hawaii County Code Requirements: Hawaii County Code Section 3-58 - Sign area/size and lettering size. (c) Any lettering or symbol,including free-standing letters, shall not exceed nine inches in height. Variance Request: Sign 102 letter height is twenty-four(24) inches, Sign 103 letter height is thirty-four(34)inches, Sign 105 logo height is forty-four(44) inches and Sign 106 logo height is forty-two (42) inches,each exceeding the maximum nine (9) inch height of any lettering or symbol under HCC Section 3-58(c). Niumalu requests a variance to HCC Section 3-58(c)to permit the installation of Sign 102 lettering height at twenty-four(24)inches, Sign 103 lettering height at thirty-four(34)inches, Sign 105 logo height at forty-four(44)inches and Sign 106 logo height at forty-two (42) inches. Justification for Variance Request No.D2 for Sign 102, 103, 105, and 106: Identification signs along Building 4(Safeway)frontage are setback from 363 feet to 510 feet from Henry St.,thus minimizing the impact of these signs from a public right-of-way. The building facade on which these signs will be located is not directly adjacent or parallel to the property line and will be viewed at a severe angle from Henry St., further reducing the visual impact from the nearest public right-of-way. The overall wall area of Building 4(Safeway) frontage is approx. 8,000 sf. The combined sign area of the (4)proposed signs is 151 sf or about 2%of the total wall area,which is significantly less that the 15%maximum wall area allowed by the code. This shall further reduce the impact of these signs along the entire 328 foot Building 4(Safeway) frontage. 12
