The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the planned site improvements will improve safety. A financial institution, such as a bank, provides a positive attribute for a neighborhood and a community. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because: the drive -thru facility is a relatively small structure and its effect on the adjacent area will be negligible. The adjacent area is zoned B -5 (west of Pennsylvania St.) and B -1 (east of Pennsylvania St.) so its location is surrounded by commercial zoning and uses. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: the site has three frontages. Thus, locating an accessory structure twenty five (25)'feet behind the established building line of each frontage would result in the structure having to be located closer to U.S. 31 than is desired. A location closer to Pennsylvania St. is more appropriate.

The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the two signs will be an Exempt Sign in all respects except for the cover around the support poles. This cover will not change the height, width or location of the signs. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because: the adjacent area is zoned B -5 (west of Pennsylvania St.) and B -1 (east of Pennsylvania St.), so the sign locations are surrounded by commercial zoning and uses. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: the terms inhibit exercising flexibility in improving the aesthetics of an Exempt Sign, even though said improvements will not increase the height or width of the sign or the size of the message on the sign.
