He stated that he wished to replace an old roof mounted sign with a pole sign to upgrade his business and provide better identi- fication of his store. lie stated that the sign would be the same size and same height as the existing sign and would project no more than three feet over public property. There were no questions or comments from the audience. After visually viewing the subject property and considering the facts presented, it was moved by Mr. Baird and seconded by Mr. Berg and unanimously carried to grant this request for the following reasons: 1. That there are exceptional circumstances or con- ditions applying to the subject property that do not apply to other properties in the same vicinity or zone, specifically that this is a legal non -conforming use, wishing to improve its appearance by replacing an older sign. 2. That such variance is necessary for the preser- vation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the appellant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same vicinity, specifically that as a non -conforming use, the applicant, while wishing to continue his operation as is his right, desires to enhance his firms iden- tification by installing a more visible sign. 3. That the authorization of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the vicinity, specifically that the majority of uses adjacent to this property are non-residential and the street is a heavily travelled, well -lighted arterial. The addition of this sign will not have a signifi- cant effect on this situation. 4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive plan. In granting this request the Board imposed the following stipu- lations: 1. That the base of the pole sign shall be located entirely on private property. 2.
