NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby find:
A. There are special circumstances relating to physical
characteristics including project size, project location and wall
height and location of all applicable to the property which would
deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
the vicinity under the identical zoning classification if strict
compliance with the Zoning Regulations for directional tract signs
were observed.
B. The granting of the Variance would not constitute a grant of
special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and zone, in that special circumstances
exist which warrant granting the Variance.
C. The granting of this Variance application would not be detrimental
to persons or propoerty in the neighborhood because if approved it
would provide adequate and necessary identification for an
unusually large subdivision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission hereby
conditionally approves the Variance request for three directional tract signs
in PA 87-003, as shown by the materials labeled Background Attachments 1 and 2
