The removal of the 2'-0" Market and V-6"Tire x Luba signs and installation of the 2'-0" Grocery and V-6" Auto Center wall signs in the same locations will not produce an undesirable change to the character of the neighborhood or have any negative affect on 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?

Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district?
