PC Exhfbit B <br /> Practical Difficulty Statement: <br /> Trinity Lutheran Church is an organization with facilities located in a residential zoning district aifowed <br /> by a Conditional Use Permit.Similar to the commercial businesses in Orono,Trinity l.utheran Church is <br /> an organization that is open to the public and provides services to the community, incfuding but not <br /> limited to,the Orono Schoofs, Families Moving Forward, Grief Coalition, Boy Scouts, and AA.Also similar <br /> to the commercial businesses in Orono,Trinity Lutheran has the need to provide signage with <br /> information about what is available for services at the church. Unlike the commercial businesses in <br /> Orono, and more in line with the Orono School District,the seroices provided by Trinity Lutheran Church <br /> vary throughout the year. We have previously accommodated this change of information by placing <br /> temporary banners over our existing monument sign.Temporary signs are allowed in the City by permit <br /> four times per year for a length of ten days per allowed time. <br /> We are requesting a new Conditional Use Permit to construct a new monument sign on our property. <br /> We are also requesting a variance to increase the sign area and to incorporate a variable message board <br /> on each face of this monument sign.Our variance request is necessary to allow for a sign with <br /> reasonable area to meet our needs and those of the travelling public.This proposed variable message <br /> system will be large enough to provide timely information to the travelling public in#ext that is easily <br /> readable from County Road 6, with its 55 mph speed limit. It will be no larger than qther changeable <br /> message signs previously allowed for other businesses and organizations in the City. <br /> It is our opinion that a practical diffculty exists because we are not able to convey the necessary <br /> information to the public if the area of the sign is not increased and if we are required to continue using <br /> temporary signs that are allowed for only 40 days out of the year. <br /> RECErvE� <br /> A�1G ? 7 Z015 <br /> C1TY OF ORONO � � � � � <br />
