All three conditions which are required to be satisfied for such a variance had been done so with the proposal , especially in regard to the physical attributes of the site, which is located, on a deadend street with little or no traffic, and has a unique slope and topography; 2. Land values in the area would not be harmed by granting the variance; 3. Granting the variance would not intensify the potential for the conflict of land use which had been identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan; • 4. The two story building would not limit the visibility of other structures in the same area; 5. No one spoke in opposition to the requested variance at either the June 18, 1985 Commission hearing or Council consideration of the request June 25, 1985; 6. The proponent addressed all issue and concerns raised by the Planning Commission members during the earing; 7. The proponent has a proven track record -of implementing stated development goals and objectives; and 8. The existing operation has proven to be a clean, non-offending, and nonpolluting use.

The only concern raised about the request for a second sign for the Cokesbury Book Store, 2955 Pentagon Drive, Commissioner Madden said, was that wall. where the sign was proposed to be erected had no window or access door other than the door where only deliveries are made, according to the store representative. Points in favor included the fact that the store might attract shoppers to the center who would otherwise not come to that area and the sign on Highway 88 might make it easier for them to find the store. • Al Lenius, minister/manager of the store, was present but didn't speak.
