Industrial Subdivision.
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 wall sign as to size, number and tone of colors used, lettering
fonts and logos. Although the applicant proposed the sign as a “marquee sign,” Ms.
Newlon said that the Department of Public Works – Building Division has determined
the proposed sign to be a “wall sign.” The sign is to be 22 square feet, well below the
allowable size limit of 75 square feet in the Kailua Industrial Subdivision. The sign is to
have letter heights of less than nine inches with logo heights of less than the eighteen
inches allowed by the Sign Code. Ms. Newlon said that the proposed wall sign appears
to meet the various KVDC Guidelines as well as the Sign Code.

Review and suggest revisions to the Rules of Procedure of the Kailua Village Design
Commission.
Ms. Newlon presented the commissioners a proposal from the Planning Department for
one additional amendment to the draft Rules of Procedure of the Commission, as
amended, previously approved by the Commission on June 21, 2010. The proposed
amendment is to delete specification of the exact time and location of the Commission’s
meetings, and instead provide that the meetings will be at a time and place to be
scheduled by the Commission.
Following discussion by the Commissioners, Commissioner Kitchens moved, with a
second by Commissioner Kern, to approve the proposed amendment and present the
amended draft of the Rules of Procedure at a public hearing in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The motion was unanimously
approved by roll call vote.
