14.60.010 Variances.

The board of adjustment may grant a variance from certain requirements of this title where the literal application of this title would create a particular hardship for the sign user and all of the following criteria for a variance are met:

(a) It is the policy of the town to encourage aesthetically pleasing signs without substantial interference with the business to which the sign relates.

(b) Projecting signs should not substantially obscure any part of another sign relating to another use.

(c) Excessively large or tall signs should be avoided to prevent visual obstruction of the natural scenery within the town.

(d) Variances should not be granted which would allow any business use an unfair advertising advantage over any other business use.

(e) Any variance granted shall be the minimum necessary to alleviate any hardship, in accordance with the standards and subject to the procedures of GMC Title 16.

(f) For the purpose of this title only, any person aggrieved by a decision of the board of adjustment may appeal the decision in writing to the Granby board of trustees. The board of trustees’ review shall be limited to the question of whether or not the board of adjustment has exceeded its authority or abused its discretion. [Code 1999 § 19-14-1].
