<br /> <br />Location: Kona Coast Shopping Center in KFC Restaurant <br />Mr. Dunlap provided an overview of the proposed signage for the business including site <br />photographs and the submitted sign drawings. <br />Commissioner Hetherington asked if the light bar that surrounds the building was approved <br />during the building review. Mr. Dunlap confirmed that the light bar was approved by the <br />Commission at the meeting for the proposed design improvements for structure. <br />Chairman Dahlberg asked if any other Commissioner had any other questions of staff. As there <br />were no other questions of staff, Chairman Dahlberg asked the representative to introduce <br />himself. <br />Mr. Shane Kitchens, Architect, and representative for the applicant, stated that he has worked on <br />the sign package with KFC including an aluminum “wood grain” that will be used on the fascia <br />and upper part of the ground sign. The bottom area of the ground sign will be a grey basalt to <br />match the wainscoting on the building. The owners of KFC have agreed to minimize the impact <br />of their signs by reduced letter size and by not repeating the name KFC on the ground sign. And <br />finally that the off-red color is subdued and a close match the color to be used on the building. <br />Mr. Kitchen also clarified for Commissioner Hetherington that details of the light from the light <br />bar was included in this submission to confirm for the Commission that the light bar plans had <br />been modified to meet the reduced size and brightness as recommended by the Commission <br />during their building design review. <br />Commissioner Ikeuchi stated that she loves the plan as it is so thoughtful and also pleased that no <br />sign faces Palani Highway. <br />Commissioner Sullenberger stated that he agrees with Commissioner Ikeuchi in that it is a well <br />put together package that complements the design of the building. An excellent total design. <br />Commissioner Roth stated that this is how national brands should be handled.
