1. Design review of a sign permit application for a projecting sign for Kona Homes, Inc.
Applicant: Joyce Murphy of Kona Homes, Inc. Land Owners: LRG Real Estate LP and
PFP Anekona LP. TMK: 7-5-009:025. Located at 75-5801 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona,
HI, at the Coconut Grove Marketplace
Ms. Newlon oriented the Commissioners regarding the subject and surrounding
properties on the location map, presented illustrations supplied by the applicant and
described the proposed projecting sign as to size, number and tone of colors used and
lettering fonts. Referencing the various KVDC Guidelines for the review of signs, she
explained that the proposed sign essentially complied with those Guidelines.
Commissioners questioned the location of the sign on the building and the adequacy of
fasteners securing the supporting arm of the sign. The applicant’s representative, Jason
Jarvis, confirmed the sign’s placement as being on the second floor the building, and
expressed a willingness to increase the strength of the fastening hardware for the sign’s
supporting arm to eliminate any safety concerns.
Mr. Jarvis also noted that the proposed sign is to be two-sided, so that the same sign is
facing two opposite directions.

Commissioner Peterson moved the Commission to recommend approval of the sign
permit application with the further recommendation that the fastening hardware for the
sign’s support arm be strengthened for safety assurance
to comply with Chapter 3 Signs,

A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously (Commissioners Bleck
