<br /> <br />F. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the <br />practical difficulties. Economic conditions alone do not constitute practical <br />difficulties. <br /> <br />The variance request is the minimum that would alleviate practical difficulties. <br /> <br />G. The Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment, may impose such <br />conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to <br />comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the <br />effect of such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better <br />carry out the intent of the variance.

However, each application <br />requires a separate Public Hearing, and separate action (approval/denial). <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 1049-16, a Resolution approving a Variance <br />for a ground sign encroaching within the 30’ sight triangle, and less than 15’ setback <br />from a property line, to be located at 2848 Co Rd H2; Planning Case MU2016-001 <br />(VR2016-002). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options: <br /> <br />1.
