If required to locate sign showing gasoline prices at yard sptback
line, visibility of the sign would be severply limited with Tcqard
to traffic proceeding in either direction on Route: 376; traffic
proceeding northwesterly proceeds around a sharp curve im~ediately
prior to my premises; the view of traffic proceeding southeasterly
would be obstructed by numerous trees, especially \olhen in bJ oom; thc'
resulting limited visibility would diminish appellant's uasoline ~:a] e,;
which comprise in excess of 90% of appellant's business and would
thereby result in a severe economic injury to the appelli'lnt.
In addition to the undue hardship which would be produced, the movino
back of the sign would interfere with the traffic pattern on Route ')7(,
in both directions and would represent a potential traffic hazard in
that potential customers seeking to det,ermine price'S would ~:;lo\" do.....n
in proximity to the premises on a highway that is well traveled, h<1f5
a 55 mile per hour speed limit, is curved in proxj mj t'! t." mj' pli1Cf' of
business and also is at or near the intersection of several roads.
(J>. (i) Appellant does not believe that there are any other properties in the
immediate vicinity of appellant similarly affected by the setback
requirement; in addition, appellant believes that its location is
unique and the hardship which would result by reason of Uw limi L('d
or poor visibility would not effect other properties.
(II>. (i) The use of the premises as a gasoline filling station has been in
existence for a considerable period and, as indicated above, appellant
does not believe that other properties would be effected by crantinq
of the requested variance.
