Supply LLC. Applicant: Icon Identity Solutions. Land Owners: Pres-Kona Coast LP and
Queen Lili‘uokalani Trust. TMK: 7-4-015:001. Located in the Kona Coast Shopping
Center at 74-5586 Palani Road, Kailua-Kona, on the northwest corner of Queen
Ka‘ahumanu Hwy. and Palani Road.
Mr. Childs described the proposed marquee sign by going over the applicant’s submittal, and said
that it was similar to the other signs in the same shopping center that the Commission had recently
reviewed. He noted that although the sign did not follow the Sign Code or the Signage Criteria,
Guidelines for Review in the Master Plan for Kailua-Kona, it was consistent with a sign variance
granted for the entire shopping center in 1999.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The following announcements were made:
A memorandum dated April 22, 2013, from the Planning Director to various Community
Development Plan Action Committees regarding a Hawai‘i Congress of Planning Officials
(HCPO) conference, which will be held at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort from September 18
through 20, 2013, was distributed to the Commissioners. Mr. Mark summarized that due to
budget constraints, the County is unable to grant their request for scholarships to attend the
conference, and that if funds are available, priority will be given to the Planning Commissioners
and Board of Appeals members. In response to the Chair’s question, he gave the
Commissioners an overview of the HCPO, and mentioned that some members of this
Commission had been afforded the opportunity to attend in the past.
The next meeting scheduled for May 7, 2013, is cancelled since the Commission received no
applications by the deadline. Mr. Mark said that there seemed to be an overall slowdown in
land development activity in the Kona district due in part to concurrency requirements in the
Kona Community Development Plan in that certain infrastructure improvements, such as new
roads, must be in place before new development can occur.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, at 5:40 p.m., it was moved by Commissioner Stanbro and seconded
by Commissioner Burns that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was unanimously carried by a
voice vote of all Commissioners in attendance.
Respectfully submitted,
Noriko Sauer, Secretary
