21 -07.03 (d) (1) (D) Lb.: Proposing two (2) monument signs within the public right -of -way of Nimtz Parkway, whereas said signs should have a minimum setback of five feet (5') from the right -of -way. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the proposed monument signs will provide appropriate guidance and identification for guests and be otherwise designed to comply with the signage design standards set forth in the City of South Bend Code and by the Blackthorn Corporate Park. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because the proposed monument signs will be designed in accordance with the signage design standards of the Blackthorn Corporate Park, within which the Hotel will be situated. The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance provision would result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because placing the monument signs at least 5' back from the right -of -way not allow the signs to be viewed from the access drive (which happens to be within the public right -of -way of Nimtz Parkway).
