Norman. <br />HAYASHI:Thank you, Mr. Chair and Commissioners. Again to the location <br />map. The property is indicated by this orange circle. It is situated within the Kona Industrial <br />Subdivision. This is Queen Kaahumanu Highway going into Kailua-Kona. This would be the <br />Queen Kaahumanu Highway/Palani Road intersection. If you traveled that particular roadway <br />frequently you’ll note that there is a building with the Gold’s Gym sign as well as the Island <br />Discount Golf, I believe, and that is the building that we’re discussing. The applicant is <br />requesting several variances from the current sign code. And just to let you know the sign code, <br />st <br />there is a new sign code that will take in effect March 1, 2005, so that’s next month. But since <br />this was filed prior to that, we are processing this variance application.Subsequent to- after the <br />new code is adopted, goes into effect, all variances from the Kailua Village district will be <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
