CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS – HEARING OFFICER
DEPARTMENT REPORT
JULY 22, 2019
(V) 13250 Hazel Dell Ground Sign.
The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval:
1. Docket No. 19060004 V UDO Section 5.39.I.5.b.i Min. 5-ft setback from street right of way
allowed; 0-ft requested. The site is located at 13250 Hazel Dell Pkwy. It is zoned B3/Business and
SFHA/Special Flood Hazard Area. It is Lot 5 of Hazel Dell Corner Subdivision. Filed by Doug Staley,
Jr. of Staley Signs, Inc., on behalf of GA HC REIT II Hazel Dell MOB LLC, owners.
General Info & Analysis:
The Petitioner seeks approval for a new ground sign to have a 0-ft setback from the street right of way. The sign
ordinance requires a minimum 5-ft setback from the street right of way. (The existing sign will be removed
before the new sign is installed.) Please see the Petitioner’s informational packet for more detail on the
variance request.
Also, a 30-ft wide Greenbelt, as well as a 30-ft wide Drainage Utility and Sewer Easement (DU& SE) runs
parallel to the street right of way. The sign placement within the easement will require a Consent to Encroach
approval from the Board of Public Works & Safety (BPW).
Due to the sight lines from Hazel Dell Road, this sign location gives it the best visibility. There are street trees
and landscaping, as well as electrical transformers, in the view shed. The landscaped sign will still be located
around 9-10 feet west of the multiuse path.
The Petitioner addressed all planning/zoning review comments, and the Planning Dept. supports this
variance request, with the condition listed below.
Petitioner’s Findings of Fact:
Please refer to the petitioner’s Findings of Facts included in their info packet.
Recommendation:
The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 19060004 V, with the
condition of the Petitioner gaining Consent to Encroach approval from the BPW.
