2014-01-21 Kailua Village Design Commission Minutes

Home

Mr. Childs described the proposed marquee sign. He said that a sign variance had been granted to the entire shopping center in 1999, which increased the allowable letter height and overall sign area to compensate for the wide setback from the street. He noted that the proposed sign was consistent with other signs within the shopping center, which the Commission had reviewed and supported earlier. Neither the applicant nor his representative was present. There was no one from the public wishing to testify in regard to this agenda item. It was moved by Commissioner Kitchens, and seconded by Commissioner Burns, to send to the Public Works Director a recommendation for approval of the sign permit application as submitted. A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with five ayes (Kitchens, Burns, Akina, Bleck and Broderson) and three absent and excused (Andreae, Au Hoy and Stanbro). APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. Minutes of the Meeting of November 19, 2013. It was moved by Commissioner Burns and seconded by Commissioner Akina that the minutes be approved as submitted. The motion was unanimously carried by a voice vote of all Commissioners present. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS 1. Election of Chair and Vice Chair for 2014 Commissioner Bleck was nominated as Chairman by Commissioner Burns, which was seconded by Commissioner Broderson and supported by all Commissioners present. Commissioner Broderson was nominated as Vice Chairman by Chair Hetherington, which was seconded by Commissioner Burns and supported by all Commissioners present. Commissioners Bleck and Broderson each accepted their respective appointments. 2. Other Administrative Matters Mr. Childs suggested that in light of Ms. Baker’s earlier statement the Commission send a letter of appreciation to the KVBID, recognizing its initiative and willingness to collaborate with the Commission in improving the Kailua Village district. The Commissioners were in favor of the suggestion, and the Chair offered to draft the letter. Mr. Childs stated that the next scheduled meeting of February 4, 2014, was cancelled since there were no applications to be agendized. Commissioner Burns asked about the Commission member recruitment process and the specific categories in which new members were needed. Commissioner Bleck mentioned the name of a possible candidate for Mr. Mark to follow up on. Ms. Masunaga asked Mr. Mark to keep her informed so that she could assist him in expediting the nomination process. 2
