reviewed by the County Council and approved by the County Council, it will not come before the Planning Commission. First of all the applicant intends to have several signs erected along the walls of the, the structure. It will be facing both streets- that would be along the Queen Kaahumanu Highway as well as Luhia Street. The first variance they are requesting is from Section from 3-72(a), subset 2. Basically, the- that section of the sign code states that the total surface area of all signs shall not exceed in the aggregate 22 square feet on any building frontage. The applicant is requesting to allow up to 25 signs, which would be 22 square feet each, which would therefore exceed the maximum area of 22 square feet aggregate for this particular building. Basically if you look at 25 signs times 22 square feet that will come out to 550 square feet. So that would be one variance request. The second request would be from Section 3-72(a) subsection (c), which basically states that the lettering of these signs shall be no more than 9 inches in height. The applicant is requesting that for- requesting a variance to allow 12-inch lettering or 12-inch high lettering.

The applicant is providing- requesting a variance to allow signs along the ground floor to be 13 inches-, 13 feet 5 inches high for the ground floor as well as along the second floor that the signs be at the height of 27 feet 3 inches or thereabouts. So those are the four- (4) variance requests that the applicant is requesting. Under the new code st that would become effective March 1 all of these variances would not be required except for one (1); and that is the code would allow, excuse me- all of these would require a variance, still require a variance except for one (1), and that would be the lettering height of the letter. The new code would allow a height within this area- for this industrial area, up to 18 inches high. Are there any questions? Yes. GALDONES:Commissioner Springer. SPRINGER:I’m looking at the letter from the Kailua Village Design Commission meeting and they couch their discussion in somewhat different terms. They call our attention to the Enterprise Rent a Car signs. So is that taken up in your discussion of the different sections? HAYASHI:Okay, the- initially when the applicant submitted the application, variance application that included the Enterprise Car sign. When they submitted the request to the-, and when that request went to the Kailua Village Design Commission, the Kailua Village 2
