This requirement would simply require the applicant to place the existing sign on the building fagade rather that mounted on the roof. The building is clearly visible from the Hwy 2 ramps and the surrounding roadways that access the site. A relocation of the sign to one of the building fagalies would not eliminate its visibility. b. Conclusions:. There are no unique circumstances related to e su Iect property or the visibility of subject property that necessitate the placement of the sign on the roof. The entire building and site are visible from the Hwy 2 ramps, Interstate 5 and the surrounding roadways that access the site. The existing roof sign could be relocated to the building &*e and additional signs meeting zoning code requirements could also be placed on the building and on the site, which would be clearly visible from the adjacent highways and roadways.
