Commissioner Roth agreed and said that in contrast to other corporate projects, which were usually not commendable, this KFC restaurant would befit Kona. It was moved by Commissioner Roth that the Commission forward to the Planning Director a recommendation for approval of the proposed project as submitted. At the suggestion of Commissioner Van Pernis, Commissioner Roth included the following provisions in his motion: a. Reduce the width of the light bar by one-third, or from 12 inches to 8 inches; and, b. Apply a corresponding reduction to the illumination of the light bar. Commissioner Kern seconded the motion. There being no further discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with six ayes (Roth, Kern, Ching, Ikeuchi, Sullenberger and Van Pernis), no noes, and one absent and excused (Akina). Commissioner Roth made a suggestions to Mr. Kitchens that the same stone tiles as the wainscot be used for the base of sign. OLD BUSINESS 2. Commission is continuing the discussion of possible creation of Investigatory Committee to address Sign Issues in Kailua Village Special District. Discussion is to identify reasons for committee, scope and assignment of members. The Commission took up this item at 6:50 p.m. Commissioner Van Pernis suggested that this matter be postponed until the appointment of new Director of the Department of Public Works. Upon inquiry by Chairman Dahlberg, the secretary said that she had contacted former Commissioner Theresa Andreae whose response was that she was interested in serving on such a committee but would not be available until next year. Mr. Dunlap also responded that he had contacted Ms. Debbie Baker of the Board of Kailua Village Business Improvement District, and that she would be interested in attending a meeting. He further said that he had also contacted Mr. Gregory Ogin earlier, and as a result Mr. Ogin had provided a statement regarding Sign Code enforcement at the Commission’s previous meeting. Commissioner Van Pernis commented that while the Commission was to represent the whole community, Mr. Ogin was representing businesses. At the suggestion of Chairman Dahlberg and with a unanimous voice vote, the Commission postponed this matter until the next meeting. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS The Commission took up this item at 6:55 p.m. Mr. Dunlap stated that two nominees to the Commission would soon be considered by the County Council with full support of Council’s committee.
