Findina: The applicant is requestinq a variance to allow a 72 square foot sign so that persons looiting for i the clinic will be able to find it easier as they have had patients tell them that they drove by two or three times before seeinq the siqn on the building which is located on the rear of the lot. The oriqinal clinic at this site was located in a � house that was close to the street and a two foot by four foot siqn off Colby identified the use and so allowed easy recognition of the clini.c. in 1968 a new clinic buildinq was constructed on the rear of the lot and the front of the lot was used for the parkinq area. The zoninq code allowed a four by four foot sign close to the building. At that time, identification of the clinic was not a problem since a clientele had been built up that was familiar with its location from the time it was located adjacent to Colby. The clinic has qrown to five doctors and in many cases referred and regular patients are unable to find the clinic because the sign is not easily seen from �p.:..7..�iy .:.ui�iCu�� • - b. Conclusion: The unusual circumstances applyinq to the site is the fact that tfie clinic buildinq and its current sign are on the� rear of the lot and so not easily seen from Colby. -1-
