Planning Commission Minutes October 5, 1983 -4- would obstruct the visibility of a sign placed 30 feet from their property line. The decision on the variance involves a determination of the distance the sign can be placed from the property line to allow adequate visibility without setting a precedent which would be deleterious to the overall aesthetic impact of the future business development in this area. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the proposed sign is 12 feet high and 10 feet wide. Mr. Franklin, of Heco, Inc., indicated he feels a 10-foot setback would meet the needs of Heco, Inc. Discussion Mr. Matson asked whether the sign would be used for identification or attraction. Mr. Franklin indicated the sign would be used mainly for identification. Wiski asked what conditions are required for the Commission to grant a variance. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the Commission must find that a physical hardship exists which makes it difficult for the applicant to conform to the ordinance. wiski indicated he felt the building itself draws one to it. The sign provides identification at a sufficient distance with a 30-foot setback.
