RIDER TO NOTICE OF APPEF~
2(a)(1) The variance requested is for sign 36" ~'lide and
72" high and non-luminated to be placed on a light
pole on the southeasterly corner of the property herein
and would state "Diesel Fuel & Wheel Align.r.1ent." This
pole already is approximately 20' fro3 t~e edge of the
road. The sign had been there for many years but was
removed at the request of the building inspector, Hans
Gundirud, because the sign did not meet the 25' set-
back from the property line.
The sign itself is made of wood and has a black
background and white lettering.
To place this sign where it would conform to the
25' setback requirement, would have this sign in such
a place as the suotmobile traffic would not be able to
see it. This would cause an economic hardship to the
appellant.
2(a) (2) Since diesel fuel is not carriea oy every service
station, it is important that the sisn be near the
intersection so it can be seen in su~~icient time by a
person having a diesel automobile. ~~e sign is non-
l.uminated, so it would not cause any gr2..::.-t annoyance
to anyone in the area.
2 ( ) ( 3 ) h . d . ,AlI.J.o
aTe varlance oes ~ request a use varlance, ~
only an area variance. The request is for the continued
use of a sign on a pole, which has been there for many
years. This sign does not pose any safety hazzard
since there is a barrier in back of it and would be
positioned approximately 20' from the road. There are
other commercial signs permitted in the area, and this
sign does not change the character o~ the district and
observes the spirit of the ordinance.
