B. The granting of the variance would not be contrary to the objectives of this Chapter and section 13-6-7 of this title;
C. The signage of the property in question cannot be adequately met under the literal interpretation and strict application of this Chapter; and
D. The granting of the variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to property location, topography, shape, size, sight distance, and limited view to property.
