Bill would this require Findings?

ITEM NO. 12: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FOR APPROVED SIGN ADVERTISING BUSINESS ON PART OF LOT 3 BY AV II LLC - 1650 E. FAIRVIEW AVENUE. Corrie: I will open the public hearing and invite and Mr. Ford. HAROLD FORD WAS SWORN BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. Corrie: Do you have anything you want to tell the councilor do you just want to answer questions or what? H. Ford: Well pretty much our reason for asking for the variance is stated in the application and standards for variances. Our business is set back about five hundred feet from Fairview and the traffic on Fairview is increasing approximately about 25,000 cars per week day. And we believe that the people in the vehicles have difficulty seeing business back because of the landscaping, the cars, the additional cars that are parked in the parking lot to visit Fred Meyer. That an approved sign on that landscape berm parallel to Fairview Avenue would enhance our business. What we propose is consistent with what has already been approved. We think that it will improve our business which of course is the reason for being business so we're asking for approval of the variance so that we can get the sign erected. Corrie: Okay. Council questions? Bentley: Yes, Mr. Ford are these are the businesses that are back there?
