The granting of the variance for an additional wall sign is necessary to preserve property rights, which allows the restaurant the ability to properly identify the business. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of a variance for the additional wall sign will not be detrimental to the area. The existing sign, which is 104 square feet, in conjunction with the proposed 50 square feet sign would not exceed the maximum area allowed by code. Additionally, the proposed wall sign is proposed to be placed on the north elevation, away from any residential uses. Finally, due to the size of the north elevation and the removal of two existing wall signs that were allowed under a previously approved variance, the installation of an additional wall sign will not result in visual clutter on the premises. 4.
