They didn't just change tkie Mobi1 siyn to <br />Union 76, they put a whole new pole in. There was a 62' <br />existing pylon sign tYiat had to structurally be cut down <br />and tkie pole modified to accommodate tYie different sign <br />(can) that Union 76 put up. Virtually did rebuild or build <br />those two signs. <br />Mrs. Scalze stated this a separate code. Fina tore dowii <br />and rebuilt whereas Uriical business did not change hands. <br />Tkie ownership remained the same, use was the same. The <br />francYiise changed. The sign was part of the business that <br />remained the same. <br />Mr. Wilcox statecl this was a legal conveyance of property <br />from Mobi1 to Union. <br />Mrs. Scalze stated it was a trade. The business use remained <br />the same and the franchise owner remained the same. <br />Mi. Wilcox stated the franctiise owner remained the same. <br />Fina hasn't ckianged business either. <br />Mrs. Scalze stated Fina not under that portion of the code. <br />Objeciion is where business is substantially changed arid <br />building removed. Separate part of code; we're applying <br />ciifferent parts of code; different clauses. <br />Mr. Fatiey stated he didn't think a different clause and <br />that Couticil gave tYie change to Mobil from 76 a variance. <br />Mrs. Scalze disagreed and that Mr. Fahey's motion at the <br />time was that a variance was not needed since there was <br />no change. <br />Mr. Blesener stated the suggescion of the Mayor a variance <br />not required. One was requested. We figured it was a hard- <br />ship due to fact, not to his doing, and that he needed new <br />signs. Mayor decided we didn't need a variance. <br />Furtkier discussion regarding transfer of owxierskiip.
