That the special conditions... are not a consequence of the petitioner's own <br />action or inaction. <br /> <br />* Our church address is 566 4th Street, therefore a sign <br />on 4th street is appropriate and logical. <br />* The city of Elk River approved the church site plan <br />without commenting on sign placement. <br /> <br />5. That the. variance will not :be injurious.. .of the residents of the City or the <br /> <br />neiqbborhood. . . . <br /> <br />* Lighting.will be from the sides of the glass,and <br />reflect on the etching. <br />* Design is not "commercial"~ no spotlights, moving <br />messages, letters that could be removed or vandalized <br />easily. <br />* Brick used on the base and sides of the sign is <br />identical to what was used on the new church, for a <br />unified look. <br />* Dimensions of the sign are only 59 per cent of the <br />allowable size. <br /> <br />Clearly, with the church set back from both Gates and 4th street, <br />there is a need for an easily identifiable sign in plain sight. We <br />think we have chosen a design that is both tasteful and practical. <br />Our request is to place the South edge (front) of the sign 3 feet <br />from the city property line on 4th Street as indicated on the <br />plan. <br />
