A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
GRANTING A VARIANCE TO BRAD SNOWDEN FOR A SIGN
LOCATED ON LOTS 8-12, BLOCK 9, ORIGINAL TOWNSITE
WHEREAS, Brad Snowden has requested a Sign Variance in
conjunction with the New Seward Hotel/Best Western Hotel Seward
complex located on Lots 8-12, Block 1, Original Townsite; and
WHEREAS, an application meeting the requirements of section
12.10.055 was submitted and received on April 25, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the Central
Business District;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SEWARD PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION of the City of Seward that:
Section 1. The proposed variance request for an internally
illuminated free standing sign is found to satisfy the conditions
specified in Section 12.10.055 of the Seward City Code in that:
a. The variance does not constitute a grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitation upon signage and uses
of other property in the vicinity;
b. The variance as requested will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity; and
c. Al though they were not part of the variance request,
the AAA logo sign and the Best Western logo located on a lamp post
and trash container respectively, are located within the public
right of way and should be removed to be consistent with the City
Code.
Section 2. The City Clerk is authorized to issue a Sign
Variance Permit to Brad Snowden, dba New Seward Hotel and Best
Western Hotel Seward to allow an internally illuminated free
standing sign in the northeast corner of Lot 8, Block 9, Original
Townsite.
Section 3. Said permit is subject to the removal of the AAA
logo sign from the light post located within the public right of
way and the relocation of the Best Western logo-trash container off
the public right of way.

its adoption.
