The size of the, sions are consistent in size with other si1ans in the U.S. 31 corridor. Sions that would be
developed in compliance with the existina sian ordinance would be less visible from U.S. 31 and may affect
passino drivers who are comino to the law firm and are trvind to read the sians.

substantially adverse manner because: I
The size ef the sions will not be out of line with other sions nearby.

the use of the property because:
The substantial arade difference between the oropertv and the elevation of U.S. 31. and the substantial
distance from the drive lanes of U.S. 31 to both sian locations will make it difficult to see the around sian and

Carmel Zenina Ordinance.
