The size of the signage is appropriate for the frontage and overall size of the site and building. The directional traffic signage needs to be legible to provide the important directional information ensuring safe .ingress and egress of vehicles. A full-service Elementary School is a desirable feature in this growing area, and the inclusion of large volume spaces, such as a gymnasium, are an expected part of this type facility. 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 signage will be kept as iow in height as practical. The overall design will be compatible with the school building including the use of similar colors and brick material. Appropriate landscaping will be provided at the building identification sign to further enhance the aesthetic appeal of the site. o The design of the building includes sloping shingle roofs and differing building heights with varying roof shapes to break down the mass of the facility and relate to the surrounding residential neighborhoods. 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 size limitations of the building identification sign would prohibit the signage that is legible from passing vehicles at a distance. There are typically multiple events scheduled at the school that need to be announced to patrons. The strict application of the size limitations would greatly limit the ability of the school to fully inform patrons. The proposed h'eights are critical to meeting the needs for both educational and community programming.
