SR 144, Mooresville, Indiana requesting a variance from the requirement the use of an EMC sign within 300' of an R-1 zoning classification, now finds: 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community since this is located on a State highway, there will be restrictions on dimming the light at 9:00 p.m. nightly along with the restriction that the flashing mode of the digital sign is never to be used. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner for the following reasons: this is on a State highway and the existing school buffers the adjoining owner sufficiently as not to adversely impact their value based upon the signage. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property, namely: it is located on a State Highway and the school and B-1 use are already in effect, however, there will not a use that is out of place to the area as a B-1 zoned property with restricted other practical uses needed for the existing school. 4. Also there are other similar uses in the area including Neil Armstrong Elementary School, Good Sheppard Baptist Church and Westlane Church.
