Variance Request: <br /> GR-ID-1 (Niumalu ID/Tenant Directory)main ID lettering is twelve(12) inches. Lettering exceeds the <br /> nine(9) inch maximum letter height allowed under HCC Section 3-58(c)by three(3)inches. <br /> Niumalu requests a variance to HCC Section 3-58(c)to permit the installation of letter height at twelve <br /> (12)inches. <br /> KVDC Recommendation: <br /> At the 1/7/19 KVDC meeting,the Commission had no specific recommendation on this Variance <br /> exception. <br /> At the 3/5/19 KVDC meeting, the Commission recommended approval. <br /> Justification for Variance Request Nos.Al to A3 for Sign Type GR-ID-1: <br /> The Property and all buildings within the property are well below Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. (approx 32 <br /> feet below),which severely restricts visibility for vehicles traveling along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. <br /> Large canopy trees will be located along the Queen Ka'ahumanu frontage (and required and <br /> recommended for approval by the KVDC)and will further limit visibility of the Niumalu project. <br /> Limited visibility of the buildings and signs within the Niumalu project will reduce the impact to <br /> vehicles travelling along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. and increase the need for a larger ground sign to <br /> identify the project. <br /> The 940-foot length of Property frontage along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. reduces the overall visual <br /> impact of a larger ground sign and seems to be proportional and reasonable in relation to the overall <br /> size of the Property. <br /> The larger lettering allows viewing from a greater distance,thus allowing vehicles to reduce speed and <br /> initiate turn signal in a safe manner. <br /> B) Sign Type GR-ID-3A and GR-ID-3B: Gas Station Price Sign, 2-Sided <br /> (See Sheets G-6, G-8& G-10) <br /> Sign Variance Request No.B1 <br /> Hawaii County Code Requirements: <br /> Hawaii County Code Section 3-5 -Multi-faced signs. <br /> (a) The sign area/size for a sign with more than one face shall be computed by adding together the <br /> area/sizes of all sign faces, except that when two identical sign faces are placed back to back, so that <br /> both faces cannot be viewed from any point at the same time, and when such sign faces are part of the <br /> same sign structure and are not more than twelve inches apart, the sign area/size shall be computed by <br /> the measurement of one of the faces. <br /> i <br /> 6 <br />
