TIONy INC,

he needed more height in order to get all parts of the sign on. He said
this was essentially for signs all mounted on one pole. The proposed
sign would be halfway between the building and Highway 7le He said he
already had the sign made up, as he had understood the only problem with
the sign was in the height. Miss Lighton and Mr. Yates both stated they
felt all 4 parts of the sign must be bbi�bidered as a single sign, and the
total combined square footage of the sign would be limited to 75 sq. ft.
under the ordinance. Mr. Haley felt that he should be granted the full
sign because of other signs in the area as large, and also because the
station to which it refers sits back and down from the street. Chairman
Yates told him the Board might grant a variance for the 81.25 sq* fto
portion of the sign to show the dealers names but that he doubted that
they would give more, unless Mr. Haley could give him a very good reason.
He told him they must consider the circumstances and under the terms
of the ordinance unless there is some unusual condition or something
the Board has no basis for granting -a variance* Also he said that if
the Board sees fit to grant a variance, it is charged under the ordinance
to grant the minimum variance* Mrs.Haley mentioned a smaller signs but
when Mr. Yates asked about it, Mr. Haley said that it would not work at
this location and he did not wish to discuss it. Mrs. Clack said that
for traffic traveling Northy there is nothing to obstruct the view in
this area. After considerable discussions Mr. Yates asked Mr. Haley
if he was telling the Board that'l�he.wanted all the sign or nothing.
Mr. Haley replied this was correct. There were no questions from the
audience and there was no opposition present. The public hearing
was closed.
Suzanne Lighton moved to deny the request for a variance. Albert Witte
seconded the motion. Chairman Yates remarked that he dertainly was not
convinced that they could not come up with a sign, and as a matter of
fact, Mr�- Haley had indicated they do have a smaller sign, but did not
want to discuss it! A vote was taken and the motion to deny the appeal
was approved unanimously.
