Review of a sign permit variance application for two wall signs for Wal-Mart store. Applicant: <br />Teresa Jones. Land Owner: Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust. TMK: 7-5-004:043. Located <br />at 75-1015 Henry Street, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i, on the northeast corner of the intersection of <br />Henry Street and Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway. <br />Mr. Childs oriented the Commissioners regarding the subject and surrounding properties on the <br />location map, and described the proposed wall signs. He said that the applicant would have to <br />obtain a variance from the County Council for the overall size, lettering height, as well as the <br />placement height, since the proposed signs did not comply with the Sign Code, and that the <br />material used did not meet the Signage Criteria Guidelines for Review in the Master Plan for <br />Kailua-Kona. He noted that both sign locations did seem to have unusual limitations on <br />visibility; the sign over the main entrance would be approximately 500 feet away from adjoining <br />Henry Street and could be seen only from the intersection with the store’s driveway entrance, <br />and the other sign on their makai wall would be only partially visible from a limited range of <br />Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway, although it would be fully visible at various points about a quarter <br />mile from the property toward the ocean. <br />1 <br /> <br />
