Sign Variance Application
Demonstration
Please demonstrate that the following 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.
Applicant is requesting a time extension for the size and locations of existing temporary signs.
It is applicant's opinion that smaller (48 s.f.) signs would be insufficient and ineffective due to
the size of the property (54 acres) and its location on Highway 114.
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 developer's intent.
3. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly 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 the sign ordinance.
In these two locations, these temporary signs will appear appropriately sized and will serve
to inform the community as well as to stimulate beneficial economic activity during the
development period.
