Landowner: Central Pacific Bank TMK: (3) 7-5-004:060 Location: 75-1010 Henry Street, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 Ms. Newlon gave a PowerPoint presentation on the sign application. She said that the proposed signs, if approved, would replace existing signs, which had been installed prior to the subject parcel becoming incorporated into the Kailua Village Special District("KVSD") under a Zoning Code amendment in 1999. She described the locations and specifications of the proposed signs and noted that the applicant had submitted two versions, with the only difference appearing to be the depth of the display board, i.e. 8.5 inches versus 6.125 inches. Ms. Raini Castro representing the applicant clarified that the applicant had modified the plan so that the proposed design now was 0.75-inch-thic raised lettering on the 6.125-inch board instead of the 8.5-inch flat surface sign. Ms. Newlon went over the applicable sections of the Sign Code and noted that the sign specifications met the code requirements. Upon inquiry by Chairman Roth, Ms. Newlon confirmed that no variance from the code was requested or required. She said that she had reviewed the application with Department of Public Works ("DPW") staff, and that they determined that the proposal was in compliance with the Sign Code. Chairman Roth called upon the applicant's representative. Ms. Castro expressed her agreement with Ms. Newlon's presentation and offered to answer questions from the Commission. In response to Chairman Roth's questions, she confirmed that the two new signs would replace two existing signs; therefore, the total number of signs would not change. No other questions were asked by the commissioners. Chairman Roth commented that it appeared to be a straightforward proposal of replacing the existing signs with new ones. It was moved by Commissioner Sullenberger and seconded by Commissioner Crusat that the Commission forward to the Director of DPW its approval of the signs as submitted. There being no discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken, and the motion carried with five ayes (Sullenberger, Crusat, Ching, Werchick, and Roth), no noes, and three absent and excused (Ikeuchi, Kern, and Smith). 2.
