Applicant is requesting a time extension for the size and locations of existing temporary signsA and@8 , with the only changes being to the sign copy itself. In bo +J4 locations, it is the applicant's opinion that smaller (48 s.f.) signs would be insufficient and ineffective. 2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected property and is not self imposed. Elevation disparities (between the land and adjacent roadway), setbacks and surrounding thick vegetation on the subject property dictate that signs of this size are required for adequate visibility and effective communication of the developers intent. 3 That the variance wig not injure and will be whofty compatible with the use and permitted development of adjacent properties. It is important for these signs to be large enough to convey the magnitude of this project and ensure that nearby current and prospective residents will be alerted and informed_ 4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of ttw sign ordinance. In these $rya locations, these temporary signs will appear appropriately sized and will serve to inform the community as well as stimulate beneficial economic activity during the development period.
