Another circumstance that creates a need for the second sign is the state's decision to move the applicant's Manning Avenue driveway more than a block to the south. This was due to the stop light and long median installed after the applicant purchased the property. Visible signage that clearly marks the southern driveway and helps slow down traffic in a timely manner will help create a safe turn opportunity. 4. The variance in signage would allow the applicant to enjoy some of the same rights commonly enjoyed by other Lake Elmo properties and provide the applicant equal protection under the law. The ability to effectively relay brand and price information is a right commonly shared by all in this type of zoning. 5. Neither of the circumstances mentioned in h5 about are due to our actions. In addition to the pre- existing tree line Farmer's Union lost two curb cuts, one each on Hwy 5 and Manning Avenue. The state and county removed the remaining curb cuts ftulher away from, the intersection. where speeds would d be slower. They had no voice in this matter and received no compensation because of these mandates. The loss of curb cuts and the relocation of entrances are a special circumstance not endured by others in the same zoning district. 6. The variances do not provide the applicant a special privilege. To the contrary, they help partially correct special negative characteristics of the property. 7. The variance is not detrimental due to the circumstances dictated by the special characteristics of this unique property. To the contrary, it would help this contaminated site to be built upon. BE IT .FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission hereby approves the variances and issues this Order. ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo Planning Commission this 9th day of August, 1999.
