area to the east and therefore the site should be developed in a way that
does not dominate its natural resources.

would be unduly and unnecessarily altered if the strict letter of the
regulations were carried out.

welfare.

adjacent property or substantially diminish or impair property values

signs on a single lot. The Variance is based on the finding that:

Time Fitness has affected the platting of this property to create a
variance where one otherwise would not have been needed.

both public and private, represents a un,,I ie condition.
C. The granting of the variances would not ue detrimental to the public
welfare.

adjacent property or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the area.
