c �- <br /> FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: <br /> Criterion No. 1: <br /> That the variance is necessary because of exceptional o�extraordinary <br /> circumstances regarding the size, shape, topography, or location of the <br /> subject propeRy; or the location of a pre-existing improvement on the <br /> subject property that conformed to the zoning code in effect when the <br /> improvement was constructed. <br /> a. Findin s: The subject property has an existing sign pole <br /> structure that was installed in 1963 at its present location <br /> approximately 6 feet 4 inches from the northern interior <br /> property line (See approved permit#16048 included in staff <br /> report as Exhibit#6). The sign pole has an existing 8' 4 %i' X <br /> 4' 9" double-faced sign and has an overall height of <br /> approximately 16 feet 8 inches. The proposed sign which <br /> w•�uid be located on the existing pole is approximately 5 feet <br /> wide x 8 feet tall, and would remain at the same height. The <br /> applicant has stated that by moving the pole base to conform <br /> to the required 10 foot interior side setback, any new location <br /> would disrupt vehicle circulation on site, in particular truck <br /> delivery. <br /> b. Conclusions:. The existing sign pole structure on site was <br /> installed in 1963 according to city permit records (Exhibit#6). <br /> The sign pole was fnstalled prior to the current zoning code <br /> and has a nonconforn;ing setback. The appiicant's proposal <br /> to instail a replacement sign cabinet on the pole structure <br /> would not result in any a�ditiorial nonconformity's, and would <br /> actually move towards canfonnance with regards to sign <br /> height. All other aspects of the new sign wouid be in <br /> compiiance with current zoning code requirements. <br /> Criterion No. 2: <br /> That the variance will not be materially detrimental to the property in the <br /> area of the subject property or to the City as a whole. <br /> a, Findin s:. The proposal is to install a new sign cabinet on an <br /> existing sign pole structure that does not meet the 10-foot <br /> interior side setback requirement. The applicant states that <br /> the proposed sign would be smaller in size and project only <br /> five feet from the pole, rather than the current sign which has <br /> an eight-foot projection. By reducing the sign projection the <br /> proposed sign is actually moving towards conformance with <br /> regards to height. <br /> The City provided written notice to all property owners within <br /> 300 feet of the subject property and no comments were <br /> received. <br /> � 2/5 <br />
