The Village of Birch Run Sign Board of Appeals may, upon application by the property owner, make reasonable adjustment in the size and location requirements for any sign, where such action meets all of the following standards:
(A) A variance is deemed in the public interest;
(B) The variance would not adversely affect properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed sign;
(C) The alleged hardship or practical difficulties supporting the variance request results from conditions that do not generally exist throughout the Village of Birch run, and denial or a variance would preclude all reasonable use of the property;
(D) Granting a variance would result in substantial justice being done, considering the public interests protected by the standards of this chapter, the individual hardships that would be suffered by denial of the variance and the rights of others throughout the Village of Birch Run whose property may be affected by granting the variance; and
(E) The type of sign has been designed to make it compatible with the surrounding area.
