Design review of a sign permit application for one marquee sign and one wall sign for Kona <br />Coffee and Tea Company. Applicant: Kona Coffee and Tea Company. Land Owners: <br />Pres-Kona Coast LP and Queen Lili‘uokalani Trust. TMK: 7-4-015:001. Located in the <br />Kona Coast Shopping Center at 74-5586 Palani Road, Kailua-Kona, on the northwest <br />corner of Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway and Palani Road. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Childs described the two proposed signs, and clarified that while the applicant’s submittal <br />described both signs as wall signs, the Department of Public Works (DPW) had determined that the <br />larger of the two, facing Palani Road, was a marquee sign. He said that a sign variance had been <br />granted to the entire shopping center in 1999, which increased the allowable letter height and overall <br />sign area to compensate for the wide setback of the building complex from the street, and that even <br />though the subject building was right on Palani Road, it was not excluded from the variance.
