There was discussion amongst the board and Mr. Mack about the anchoring of the sign when it is placed. No one else spoke in favor or opposition of the request. Public hearing was declared closed. Motion was made by David Hamilton, seconded by Jerry Harting to approve the .401 acre variance to Section 4.10.005(1)(D) of the Sign Ordinance to allow a 200SF development sign on a 4.6 acre lot versus the required minimum 5 acre lot based on the following staff recommended findings. Motion carried 5-0. STAFF RECOMMENDED FINDINGS 1. The request for variance is harmony with the general purposes and intent of Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, as amended, and will not negatively impact the protection for the adjacent surrounding property. 2. The request is to permit a temporary development sign for a permitted use in the C District which is not applicable with regard to a non -conforming use. There are special and unique conditions related to the request regarding lot size, narrow road frontage, safety conditions of Loop Highway pertaining to the development of the site which support the need for a larger sign for a number of reasons, but principally safety as related to the permitted size of the sign. 4. The hardship sought to be avoided is not the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self- imposed or self-created although unintentional), but rather for safety factors. (b) There is no economic or financial hardship. The substandard parcel lot depth is a result of the undeveloped property available for this development. 5. The provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, and its amendments, that are sought to be varied would deprive the applicant of the normal rights to use the property that is commonly enjoyed by other similar sized properties along this entire NE segment of Loop 286 and the same C Zoning District. 4. Public hearing to consider and take action on the petition of Roger and Sharon Stripland, regarding variances to the City of Paris Building Regulations, Article 4.11 Fences, Lot 1, Block A, of the Armstrong Addition, being located at 3420 Clement Road, sections as follows: 1) 4.11.003(b)(1)(C)- 2'6" variance to fence height. 2) 4.11.003(b)(1)(D)- Variance to allow solid, wooden privacy fence. Andrew Mack, Director of Planning & Zoning, presented case to the board. Mr. Mack stated that a 6' fence has already been constructed along the rear property line up to the side property line
