Staff Presentation Ms. Newlon oriented the Commissioners regarding the subject and surrounding properties on the location map, and described the proposed marquis sign. She mentioned that the sign initially reviewed by the Commission at the January 13, 2009, meeting was a combined sign that included Mobi PCS, and that the sign has been redesigned exclusively for PayDayHawaii. She noted that although the proposed letter height exceeds the 9-inch limit for the Kailua Village Special District by 7/8 inch, Sign Variance Permit No. 6 issued to Kopiko Plaza Shopping Center on October 10, 1991, allows lettering and logo height to be up to 12 inches. She said that the Department of Public Works finds the sign in compliance with the Sign Code and the variance, and that it also appears to meet the guidelines of the Master Plan for Kailua-Kona. 1
