? : Variance B3 is needed since there are two entrances to the property. Variance B4 is requested due to the limited amount of greenspace in front of the project. Variance BS is requested to help maintain visibility by the Clague Road entrance. Variance B6 is requested for directional signage that is needed for the operation of the car wash. Mr. Aspery clarified that Variance B 1 is needed due to the measurement of signage being done in a single plane but the proposal requires a different type of ineasurement. He added that Variance B6 is needed because of the Building Commissioner's interpretation of the directional signs as wall signs.

Mr. Allain believed the transmittal letter submitted by the applicant summarized the need for the setback variances well. He added that the parcel is odd and justifies the additional signage.
