Requested Variance #3 <br />a) The proposed fence height of four (4) feet will provide screening of outdoor storage, but will not <br />restrict views of the adjacent retail building. The absence of a fence along the west side of the <br />outdoor storage area shall present no change to the surrounding community, as this outdoor <br />storage area has not been screened in the past. <br />b) The surrounding properties would benefit from the improved aesthetics provided by a screening <br />fence, despite the entire outdoor storage area not being screened from view. <br />c) A required fence height of six (6) feet would restrict pedestrian and motorist views of the <br />adjacent retail building along the south property line. Installation of a fence along the west side <br />of the storage area would restrict our ability to display retail concrete products. This variance <br />request seeks to maintain the fencing as approved in the West Side Corridors grant agreement. <br />Requested Variance #4 <br />a) The relatively small additional sign surface area requested should have no impact on the <br />surrounding community. The sign will not interfere with any clear sight area requirements. <br />b) The use and value of the adjacent area will not be negatively impacted by the installation of an <br />electronic sign with a calculated sign surface area of seventy -eight (78) square feet.. <br />c) Preliminary work has already begun for the construction of an electronic sign, as outlined and <br />approved in the West Side Corridors grant agreement, which is in compliance with the <br />property's current CB zoning. The subsequent need for rezoning renders the current sign design <br />non - compliant because of the reduced allowable sign surface area regulations for a GI district. <br />Requested Variance #5 <br />a) The parcels currently do not contain any landscaping in the required perimeter yards. Allowing <br />the properties to continue without landscaping will present no change to the surrounding <br />community. <br />b) The use and value of adjacent properties will not be impacted by waiving the landscaping <br />requirement. <br />c) This variance request seeks to maintain the landscaping as approved in the West Side Corridors <br />grant agreement. This includes the installation of two (2) deciduous trees, ornamental grasses, <br />flowers, colored mulch, and a grass lawn. <br />
