Piper Landowner: D & L Fujimoto LLC TMK: (3) 7-5-007:033 Location: 75-5722 Hanama Place, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 The Commission took up this item at 5:19 p.m. Ms. Newlon gave a PowerPoint presentation on proposed exterior improvements to the existing Kona Center commercial building and the kiosk structure in its parking lot. She said that the commercial building had originally been Foodland and retailers, built in 1978, and that the kiosk had been built as a coffee stand in 2004. She displayed a map, site plans, and photographs and described the location and current appearance of the property. She also described the proposed improvements by going over the applicant's plan drawings. She noted that the proposed materials and colors were consistent with the guidelines of the Master Plan for Kailua-Kona. She also noted that there was currently an outdoor seating area with umbrellas by the kiosk as shown in the photographs, which was not included in this application but did require review by the Commission. She said that the applicant/owner would be required by the Planning Department to add the seating area to their Plan Approval site plan; therefore, the Commission might consider accepting it as part of this design review application and include in the action the Commission would take. She commented that outdoor seating was also consistent with the Master Plan for Kailua-Kona. In response to Commissioner Smith's questions, Ms. Newlon clarified that the zoning of the property was correctly noted in the applicant's submittal as "V"which stands for Resort-Hotel, that the application before the Commission at this time was to replace the roofing and change the exterior paint color, and that it was her suggestion that the Commission consider the outdoor seating area as part of this application since photographs of it were included, otherwise the applicant would have to come back for that portion. Chairman Roth opined that although the Commissioners might be able to state their opinion on the seating area, it was not something that the Commission could take action on since there was no such request on paper. Commissioner Crusat inquired about the business signs in the photographs. Ms. Bugado responded that Ms. Newlon's research had not found permits for some of the existing signs, and that no sign permit was part of the Commission's review at this meeting. Commissioner Crusat further asked if the applicant would replace the roof and paint the exterior walls and yet keep those existing signs. Chairman Roth stated that the applicant/owner would have to address the sign matter separately. Chairman Roth called upon the applicant. Mr. Piper stated that he would like to defer the outdoor seating and signage review to a later date and get the roof replacement approved because 2 Kailua Village Design Commission March 22,2022,Meeting Minutes
