The size of the sign is identical to the existing sign <br />to be replaced. <br />B. The new sign will be more visible to persons travelling <br />on Rucker. <br />b� <br />C. The illumination will not adversely affect adja h <br />properties since Rucker Avenue is a major a al street <br />which is heavily lighted and predominantly non-residen- <br />tial in character. <br />III. ARGUMENTS AGAINST: <br />A. This is a substantial variation from signing on non- <br />conforming use requirements in the R-4 zone. <br />B.
