1161.17 VARIANCES AND APPEALS.
   The Village Council shall hear and decide on any request for a variance to the regulations in this chapter including:
   (a)   The maximum sign area, maximum sign height, and the location of the sign on the parcel. In evaluating the request for a variance to the maximum sign height, the Village Council may consider whether there are special topographic circumstances that would result in a material impairment of visibility of the sign from the adjacent roadway, which significantly diminishes the owner's, or user's, ability to continue to communicate adequately and effectively with the public through the use of the sign.
   (b)   The portion of the sign structure that should be exempt from being considered part of the sign area if such exemption has not been granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to Section 1161.04.
