3. A 32' billboard could be easily seen without hindrance.
Lowering the billboard is an inconvenience rather than a
hardship. While unfortunate there will be significant
costs to lowering the billboard, it is possible and the
effects created as the result should not be
shouldered by the citizens or by variance to the City's
ordinance.

their own hardship by purchasing the billboard while a
height issue was pending in Wheat Ridge Municipal Court.
The owner would not have created the hardship had he
researched public information before acquisition.
