Sec. 32-405. Hardship cases.
   Whenever the location, topography or configuration of any lot on which any permitted use is conducted is such as will cause a hardship by the limitations placed on the signs permitted by this article due to sight distances, existing vegetation, location of buildings on adjacent lots and/or the topography of the parcel, the planning board may, after an evidentiary hearing, grant a modification to these regulations. A modification may be approved if it is found that:
   (1)   It is designed, constructed and operated to adequately safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the occupants of the adjoining and surrounding property;
   (2)   It does not unreasonably impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property;
   (3)   It does not increase public danger from fire or otherwise unreasonably restrict public safety; and
   (4)   It does not impair the established property values in surrounding areas.
