THOMPSON:I would think about 1 ½ times if my memory serves me correctly. <br />FUJIKAWA:Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Commissioners, any further questions of Mr. Thompson? <br />Otherwise, we do have Ms. Puri who has signed up to testify. Could you please come <br />forward. Ms. Puri, you have already been sworn in and you still are under oath. <br />PURI:Right. <br />GALDONES:You may proceed with your testimony. <br />PURI:Okay. I did attend the Kailua Village Design Commission hearing <br />on this sign variance as well. First of all, I just want to say the building is looking great; <br />and they’ve done a nice job in upgrading it. Again, we’re concerned about the signage. <br />There is a ground sign that is, complies with the Sign Code. There’s a sign on the <br />building that complies with the Sign Code. Then there’s the third tower sign that we just <br />discussed. And then there’ll be additional signs with all the other businesses. That seems <br />to be excessive. And if you’re familiar with that corner of Kuakini and Hualalai, it’s <br />extremely congested, extremely busy; and one too many signs makes it pretty confusing, <br />let’s just put it that way. We would like to keep the sign numbers down as much as <br />possible. <br />Right now if you drive by there’s a sandwich board sitting out in the front, too; and we’d <br />like to get those signs cleaned up. Let’s just get it down to what is acceptable to both of <br />us. Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Puri. Commissioners, any questions of Ms. Puri? <br />SPRINGER:No, thank you. <br />GALDONES:Thank you very much. Mr. Thompson, you have any closing <br />remarks that you would like to make? <br />THOMPSON:No, I do not. <br />GALDONES:Commissioners, any questions? Commissioners, the <br />recommendation is to recommend that the request for a sign variance for the embossed <br />sign on the clock tower above the main entrance to the building be approved and the two <br />tenant signs on the second floor common walkway be denied. The wishes of the <br />Commission? Commissioner Fujikawa? <br />FUJIKAWA:May I make a motion to accept the sign variance at the request of <br />the Planning Director, the tower sign to be approved and the tenants’ signs on the second <br />floor on the common walkway be denied. <br />5 <br /> <br />
