<br /> RE: Kinhia Village Design Commission November, 17, 2015 Agenda Item No,1.
<br /> Please accept the loHowing comments regarding the agenda items under
<br /> considerationand my regrets for being unable to atterid the meet` n&
<br /> I am strongly opposed to the presented signs and requested sign variance for the
<br /> project at TMK7-5-007--OK
<br /> In t1reft,variance application to the County Council in 2014 the Owner gave six
<br /> reasons,why zi variance should be granted. None of these are coinIvIling arguments
<br /> for as variance orthe sip
<br /> ns a,s presented in this application, (Reference Resolution
<br /> N(�). 553 14,, as rioted 41 the applicaticii i)
<br /> 1) The voriance is necessitated by the peculiarity ofthe Applicont's outside sign,
<br /> requireinents, 'I'liehotel's corporate rules seerri to reqUire that every Holiday hur
<br /> Express have the!i;ame sign, T'heir rules do riot and cannot supersecte flee flawaij
<br /> C'orinty Code. OUr colde says that Kaittra Village is aunique pilace with its own
<br /> character that does ervesspeciai consideration.
<br /> 2) The adjacent teniants willnot,be adversely alfected inamuch as they have opprcwed
<br /> tire Applicarits request, T'he adjacent,teriants rricist likely don't realize that therewill
<br /> be art adverse impact, This application rnay be just one or two signs on one
<br /> property but it will create precedent and cause art incremental degradation of the
<br /> character orf Kaflua Village.

<br /> public's interest and general welfare, are violated by signs which are, larger- tharr
<br /> permitted and riot in character with Kailua Village. Safety and convenience can both
<br /> be satisfied with signs ofallowable size which are designed to work with the
