Sign Variance Revised.lune 2009
The following questions reflect the criteria for granting this type of variance. Please complete them, use
additional sheets if needed.
1. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby property will be created by the granting of this sign variance?
The proposed sign location is positioned in front of the proposed buildings to notify the pedestrians and motorists along Main Street of the useslbusinesses on the site.
The proposed sign variance is relatively insignificant and it is consistent with the general sign locations in the area.As a result the variance will not produce an
undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to the nearby properties.
2. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than a sign variance?
The required building set backs for the property are relatively shallow.The placement of the sign in strict compliance with the code would place the proposed
sign location behind the front plane of the buildings and out of sight of pedestrians and motorists traveling along Main Street.This lack of identification would not be
desirable for the project tenants or the growth and stainability of the commer6al corridor.
3. Whether the requested sign variance is substantial?
The requested variance wilt have minimal impact on the surrounding properties and Wdl allow for the sign to be visible to pedestrians and motorists traveling along Main Street.
4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district?
The variances will not have an adverse affect or impact on the Physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood as the proposed variances will allow
for the development of the property to be consistent with surrounding uses.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created?
The difficulty was not self-created as the required building setback line will reduced the visibility of the proposed sign if the placement of the sign is
placed in strict compliance with the code.
