requirements to allow the construction of an off -site monument sign on an
unplatted property located at 2051 East Kirkwood Boulevard.
REQUEST: Silver Ridge Assisted Living Center is requesting a variance to the sign
ordinance requirements for a monument sign to be located off -site on an
adjacent unplatted lot that does not have a building. The Silver Ridge
Assisted Living Center development is located along the south side of E.

development has access via a common access easement drive extending

Certificate of Occupancy or building permit has been issued by the City.
The applicant will need a variance approval to obtain the sign permit
needed to construct the proposed monument sign. Additionally, a
variance to allow the sign at approximately 9.7 feet from the right-of-way
of E. Kirkwood Boulevard is requested. A minimum of ten (10) feet from
the right -of way is required under the sign ordinance. The sign proposed
meets all other sign ordinance criteria.

Sign Variance Application
Please demonstrate that the fQ11owing conditions are applicable to the requested sign variance:
1. That a literal enforcement of the sign regulation will create an unnecessary hardship or practical
difficulty on the applicant.
Drivers on Kirkwood will not be able to see the sign from the street if it is not placed near Kirkwood.
2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected
property and is not self Imposed.
The building is around 150 yards away from the street, if we were to place the sign on the same
property as the actual building itself it would become obsolete.
3. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted
development of adjacent properties.
An entity of David Keener's owns the surrounding land, and the placement of the sign will not
interfere with what he plans on building on that lot.
4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance.
We have already changed the look of the sign to be in harmony with the sign ordinance a couple of
months ago, the sign permit we received showed the location of the sign that is now in question. We
understand why you have rules in place for offsite signs, but in this case this is the only way that we
can get the sign close enough to the road to make the sign matter.
