The Planning Staff has determined that the property can be put to a reasonable use under the official controls if two VARIANCES to Section §1009.03M are granted. 5.9 The nli�ht of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the nroperty not created bv the landowner: The property in question is unique. The right-of-way for Lexington Avenue has increased in width over the years due to the County's need to expand capacity and design accordingly. Further, existing structures (some pre-existing non-conforming to current Codes) and trees reduce the ability to view a freestanding sign on the premises if the required setback is not reduced. As well, multi-tenant signage has been supported at heights greater than 8 feet as required by § 1009.03M, where such signage is appropriate. The Planning Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 5.10 The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the localitv: The Planning Staff has determined that supporting/approving a ground sign 10 feet in height and set back 1 foot form the property line adjacent to Lexington Avenue will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 The City Planner recommends approval of a 2 foot height VARIANCE to Section §1009.03M (Ground Sign) of the Roseville City Code allowing a freestanding ground/monument sign 10 feet in height and a 14 foot setback VARIANCE to Section §1009.03M (Ground Sign) of the Roseville City Code allowing a freestanding ground/monument sign 1 foot from the property line adjacent to Lexington Avenue at Lexington Professional Building, 1790 Lexington Avenue, based on the comments and findings in Section 5 and the following conditions: a.
