true colors. James Busch, introducing himself as the commissioned architect, said that <br />they were excited about turning the existing eyesore into a contemporary Mexican cuisine <br />restaurant, and added that they had had to chase away a couple of trespassers sleeping on <br />the deck. He confirmed that they intended to revise the railing design for the second <br />floor deck in order to comply with the code, and also stated that the majority of <br />renovation work would be done inside the building with no changes to the building <br />footprint or structure itself, and that they wanted to create a colorful look and an open <br />feeling as shown on their simulated photograph, which they thought was consistent with <br />the village atmosphere. Commissioner Au Hoy asked whether or not there were other <br />shades of brown available for the roof. Mr. Busch answered in the negative, and said that <br />the proposed material was what they found best from the standpoint of cost, maintenance <br />and appearance since the existing shake roofing was too damaged to be kept in place. <br />Commissioner Au Hoy expressed her dissatisfaction with the proposed colors, saying that <br />they would be too bright for the Kailua Village, and that there were some nonconforming <br />buildings in the village, granted, but they were most likely grandfathered and the <br />Commission’s objective was to protect and promote the ambiance that was unique to <br />Kailua-Kona. Commissioner Hetherington agreed that the wall color would stand out in <br />the neighborhood, although the roof color was acceptable to him. Commissioner <br />Stanbro, saying that she shared the view of Commissioners Au Hoy and Hetherington, <br />announced at this time that she had to leave the meeting due to her prior commitment. <br /> <br />Chair Kitchens stated that with Commissioner Stanbro’s exit, the meeting had to be <br />adjourned due to a lack of quorum; therefore this item along with the other business on <br />the agenda would be continued to a future meeting. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The Chair declared the meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Noriko Sauer, Secretary <br /> <br />A T T E S T: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Shane Kitchens, Chair <br />Kailua Village Design Commission <br />2 <br />
