The proposed buildings have pitched roofs with an overhang, which is also <br />consistent with the Master Plan. She also said that the applicant’s color scheme, which <br />includes a brownish hue (Winthrop Peach) for the roof tops and a yellowish hue (Jumel <br />Peachtone) for the exterior of the buildings, is consistent with the historic color palette of <br />Benjamin Moore’s historic color palette recommended for use within the Kailua Village <br />Special District. <br /> <br />Ms. Newlon stated that the required building setbacks are front and rear of 20 feet, and <br />side yards of 8 feet plus 2 feet for each additional story, which makes the side setback 12 <br />feet, and that the height limit for RM-1 district is 45 feet and, according to the site plan, <br />the height of the proposed buildings to the mid hip of the roof is approximately 38 feet. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
