Case No. WA-96-11/Resolution
Page 2
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 4.6' front yard setback to the 50' required
front yard setback on property zoned Planned
Industrial Development.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. Objections were registered by two adjacent businesses to the
setback variance requested and is understood by the Board
that these businesses have in the past been granted sign
code variances.
2. The hardship is self imposed and importantly, when
considering the hundreds of thousands of dollars in
construction costs and lease payments, it seems substantially
illogical and imprudent from a business standpoint that a
formal survey was not conducted.
3. Although of considerable expense and potential loss of
lease income, an alternative would be available by removing
4.62 feet from the south edge of the billboard.
VOTE: YES: Abbott, Echelmeyer, Howard and Walker
NO: Hovland and Sang
DISPOSITION: Variance denied by a vote of 4-2.
DATED this 25th day of April, 1996.
