STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS There was no one from the public who wished to testify on the agenda item. NEW BUSINESS 1. Replace 5 existing metal doors and one new door location with 6 new roll-up metal doors and new paint colors for Palm Terrace, located between Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Luhia Street on the north side of Eho Street. Applicant: Buel McCoy, Palm Terrace Leasing LLC Landowner: Queen Lili‘uokalani Trust 1 TMK: (3) 7-4-015: 022 Location: 74-5615 Luhia Street, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 The Commission took up this item at 5:17 p.m. Mr. Dunlap displayed some site photographs, and gave a PowerPoint presentation of the applicant’s submittal. He described the proposed project, and pointed to the photographs showing young palm trees that had recently planted along Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway and Eho Street. The applicant’s representative, Buel McCoy, stated that he had nothing to add to Mr. Dunlap’s presentation. He noted, however, that only the roof portion of the building was visible from Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway due to the elevation drop. Commissioner Van Pernis pointed out that the proposed colors shown on the color selection guide sheet did not match the computer graphics of the building in the application that had been circulated. Mr. McCoy responded that the copies of the color selection guide sheet had not come out well, and that the proposed colors were actually the same as the colors of the County building. Upon inquiry by Commissioner Roth, Mr. Dunlap said that as a general rule it was applicants’ responsibility to provide copies to be distributed to the Commissioners. Mr. Dunlap displayed a color sample board, which he confirmed showed the true colors, and clarified that the applicant was proposing Almond for the walls, Tahitian Bronze for the roof and Mauna Kea White for the trim. He suggested that the Commission incorporate the clarification in its action, if so desired. In response to Commissioner Hetherington’s questions, Mr. Dunlap stated that the application did not include signage, which would be submitted in the future, and that while the door replacement construction would involve only one section of the building, repainting was being proposed for the entire building. Commissioner Hetherington commented that it would be nice to see the building spruced up. Upon inquiry by Mr. Dunlap and Commissioner Van Pernis, Mr. McCoy stated that he had planted over 58 Manila palms, and that the landscaping was irrigated. It was moved by Commissioner Van Pernis and seconded by Commissioner Sullenberger that the Commission forward to the Planning Director a recommendation for approval of the proposed project as submitted, provided that the colors were Tahitian Bronze for the soffit, Almond for the body of the building and Mauna Kea White for the trim as presented on the color sample board. There being no further discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with seven ayes (Van Pernis, Sullenberger, Ching, Crusat, Hetherington, Ikeuchi and Roth) and one absent and excused (Kern). \[Note: Mr. Dunlap later confirmed with Mr. McCoy that in the application by “soffit” he meant roof.\] OLD BUSINESS None. 2 ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS The Commission took up this item at 5:30 p.m. Chairman Dahlberg and the Commissioners welcomed the new member, Commissioner Jasmine Crusat. Chairman Dahlberg who had been absent at the October 3, 2017, meeting, confirmed with the Commissioners that the Commission had voted to continue the discussion on possible creation of a committee on signage issue until next year. Commissioner Van Pernis commented that it was so unless the Commission heard back from the Department of Public Works sooner. ANNOUNCEMENTS Next meeting tentatively scheduled for November 21, 2017.
