That parcels in the H-l Highway Business District are limited to one (1) ground sign per parcel. 11.

That the maximum height permitted by City Code for a ground sign is twenty-five (25) feet. 13. That City Code restricts directional signs to a maximum of four (4) square feet per exposed face and states that directional signs shall not project higher than five (5) feet in height. 14. That the Applicant is proposing to install a sixteen (16) square foot directional sign (2' x 8') on the existing ground sign on the Subject Property to indicate access to the Burger King site from Highway 10. 15. That there is an existing fifty-six (56) square foot ground sign on the Subject Property that advertises the tenant ofthe Subject Property (Pine Ridge Pet Care). 16. That the addition of the proposed sign would result in a total of seventy-two (72) square feet. 17.
