Landowner: COMM 2006-C8 KAIWI STREET LLC and Queen Lili`uokalani Trust. TMK: 7-4-010:016. Located at 74-5543 Kaiwi Street at southeast corner of Pawai Place. Commissioner Hetherington moved, and Commissioner Dahlberg seconded, to recommend to the Public Works Director the approval of the application as submitted with the following changes: 1.The existing building name and address be removed from the pavilion fascia as redundant; and 2.Groundcover landscaping be added to the bare rock area around the base of the proposed sign. Commissioner Sullenberger pointed out a discrepancy in information about the sign area between the application form, which indicated it as 22 square feet, and the attached design/installation diagram according to which it would be 24 square feet. The staff confirmed that the maximum allowed directory sign area is 22 square feet. Based on the discussion, Commissioner Hetherington moved to amend his motion to include:  The illustrated sign dimensions be reduced to comply with the 22 square foot area specification on the sign permit application form. The motion to amend was seconded by Commissioner Sullenberger, and unanimously carried by a voice vote of all Commissioners present. A roll call vote was then taken for the main motion as amended, and the motion carried with six ayes (Hetherington, Dahlberg, Akina, Broderson, Stanbro and Sullenberger) and two absent and excused (Andreae and Au Hoy). 5.
