� � Case No. 514-69 (Continued) � � given as to the ultimate location o� this sign inasmuch as the sign would be located within t��e right-of-way when the right-of-way is moved 16 1/2 feet to the west. 5. Another variance is requested for the sign on top of the canopy which would ardinarily be required ta be 30 feet back from the property line. 'fhis sign, from the cfrawings, would appear to be 35 feet from the existing ri��ht-of-way and approximatel� 19 feet from�the new right-o�F-way thus, with rE;spect to sign locations no variances would be required from existing right-c>f�way but neither of the signs would conform to th� regulations with respect to the proposed right-of-way . 6. Another question is that of parking requirements. Applying the prirking formulcs stated in the ordinance to the retail space proposed, would requir�: 42 parking spaces over�ll. iNe suggest, however, that when retui{ space is combined with a service station as is the case here, 42 parking spaces are not ne:cessary. This i5 obviously true, inasmuc� as a great deal of the retai! sales are rnade from persons w{iose cars are being serviced with gasol ine. The appl icant estimates that 60% of their sales are made on such a basis. The crpplicant furthPr notes that 30% of their business comes fram customers who get gas and then park in an off-street parking space to do further retail shopping. Ten percent of the business comes from persons utilizing the parking spaces nnly wi9�hout purchasing gasoline. Our experience in other service stations of thi.s general type indicate that these percentages are probably correct. In gen�ral, we suggest that the 30 parking spaces proposed, in addition to the 8 spaces available afi the pump islands are more than adequate for this size retail operation proposed. 7, i'erhaps the most serious problems with respect to this proposal arethose of the handl ing of the right-of-way and fihe signs. In general, the Vi llage has been very consistent ih th'e past i n enforci ngthe sEgn ordiria nces throughout the Vil (age. In general, this requires that all signs be setback 30 feet from the right-of-way with the exception of service stations which are allowed to have a single 64 square foot pedestal sign within 6 feet of the right-of-way. � �-J
