�' � Case t�io. 514-69 (Continued) � civen as to the ultimate location of this sic�n inasmuch as the sign would be located within tf�e right-of-way when the right-of-way is moved 16 1/2 feet to the west. 5. Anether v�ariance is requested for the sign ��n top of the canopy which would ordinarily be required to be 30 feet back fi•om the propeirty line. This sign, from the drawings, would appear to be 35 �Feet from the �existing right-of-way and approximately 19 feet from�the new right-of way thus, with resper.t to sign locations no variances would be required from exi$ting right-of-way but neither of the sigrs would conform to the regulations with respect to fihe proposed right-of-way. 6. Another question is thqt of parking requirements. Applying the parking formula stated in the ordinance to the retail space proposed, would require 42 parking spaces overall. We suggest, h�w�ver, that when retail space is combined with a service station as is the case here, 42 parking sp�aces are not necessary. This is obviously true, inasmuch as a great dea) of the r��fiail sales are made from persons w{iose cars are being serviced with gasol ine,�� The appl icant estii �tes thafi 60°l0 of their sales are made on such a basis. The appl�cant rurther notes that 30% of their business comes from customers who get gas and then park in an c,�f-street parking space to do further retail shopping. Ten percent of the business c�mes from persons utilizing the parking spaces only without purchasing gas��line. Our experience in oth�r service stations o� this general fiype indicate that these percentages are prabably correct. In general, we suggest tha� the 30 parking spaces proposed, in addition to the 8 spaces available at the pump islands c�re more than adequate for this size retail operation propo5ed. 7. Perhaps the most serious problems with respect to this proposal are thase of the handling of the right-of-way and the signs. In general, the Village has been very consistent i n t�i'e past i n enfor�i ngthe sign c�rdim nces throughout the Vil lage. In ger�eral, this requires that all signs be setback 30 feet from the right-of-way with th� exception of service stations which are allowe+� to have a single 64 square faat pedestal sign within 6 feet of the right-of-way, , U C
