within the Special Management Area and the Kailua Industrial Subdivision Area within the Kailua Village Special District. 1. The size of the proposed ground sign for the Hale Hana Center is 48 square feet and measures six feet tall by eight feet wide, and is to be located two feet in from the rock boundary wall (17 feet from the edge of the road). Since the sign is not higher than 6 feet tall, it can be located within the front setback area of twenty feet from the front property line. She noted that the size of the proposed sign does not meet the Section 3-58 of the Sign Code as it applies to the Kailua Village Special District, which states a ground sign may not exceed 22 square feet if the lot frontage is greater than thirty lineal feet (their lot frontage is 380 linear feet). As such, if the KVDC recommends approval of the design of the proposed signs, the applicant will need to submit 15 copies of the variance application to County Council for its consideration and decision. She noted that the size of the letters is in compliance with the Section 3-58 (c) (1) of the Sign Code as it relates to the Kailua Industrial Subdivision; the proposed letters for the individual businesses will be three inches tall and the name of the building will be six inches in height. The letters will be painted “Polar White” on a “Winter Lake Blue” background, which are the same as the colors of the existing building and are similar to the colors recommended by KVDC guidelines. The proposed materials include metal posts and painted plywood. The posts will be painted “Polar White.” She said that, according to the applicant, the existing directory sign is rotted and needs to be replaced, and that the existing sandwich board signs and banners used along the entrance off of Luhia Street will be removed. 2. The size of the proposed ground sign for the Luhia Center I is 30 square feet and measures six feet tall by five feet wide, and is to be located two feet in from the rock boundary wall. Since the sign is not higher than 6 feet tall, it can be located within the front setback area of twenty feet from the front property line. This sign also requires a variance for exceeding the size limit under Section 3-58 of the Sign Code. She noted the proposed letters for the individual businesses will be 2.75 inches tall, the height of Upper and Lower Level will be three inches in height, and the name of the building will be six inches in height, which are in compliance with the Section 3-58 (c) (1) of the Sign Code. The proposed materials and paint colors are the same as the first sign. 3. The design of the proposed ground sign for the Luhia Center II is identical to the one for the Luhia Center I, including the need for a variance for exceeding the size limit. Applicant Presentation Mr. O’Brien did not do a presentation; he was available for questions from the Commissioners. 2
