Addendum #1
Development Standards Variance Application
One Zotec Way
Petitioner: Doug Staley, Jr on Behalf of ZP Investments LLC
#7) Explanation of Development Standards Variance:
We are seeking a variance for (2) development standards. First, the Bridges PUD Z-550-11,
Section 9.4(B) does not allow for ground or roof signs. We are seeking approval to install (1)
ground. Second, UDO 5.39 (C)(7) does not allow for signs larger than 3 square feet on
accessory structures. We are seeking approval to install (1) wall sign on the East elevation of
parking garage structure.
Addendum #2
Development Standards Variance Application
One Zotec Way
Petitioner: Doug Staley, Jr on Behalf of ZP Investments LLC
#8) Reasons supporting why the BZA should grand the Development Standards Variance:
We believe that the BZA should grant the variance to allow for a ground sign for the following
reasons. Most likely, the original PUD limited the use of ground signs to prevent proliferation
of multi-tenant ground signs for the retail area. A professional office building is being
constructed on this 7.5 acre property. It is very traditional and common in Carmel for a ground
sign to be allowed for a professional office building. The proposed ground sign complies with
all the guidelines for ground signs in the UDO. The proposed ground sign is extremely high
quality and intentionally designed to compliment and even replicate the architecture of the
building.
We believe that the BZA should grant the variance to allow for a wall sign on the East elevation
of the parking garage for the following reasons. The parking garage is connected to the
building. The parking garage has been designed to share architectural features with the
building. Although under strict definition, the garage might be an accessory structure, based on
the design and connectivity of the garage, it is an integral part of the building. The proposed
sign is to be located on a section of the garage that looks like the building. Locating the sign on
the East elevation of the office building is not an acceptable option. There is a 4 th floor,
outdoor balcony level on the East elevation. Zotec employees and guests on the balcony level
would be looking eight feet up, directly at the sign. This is not appropriate to the design of the
building or the purpose of the balcony. Per the ordinance, Zotec would be allowed two signs on
the office building. Zotec would like to trade the second sign location for the East elevation of
the parking garage. Finally, we feel that the sign will be more visible to US 31 traffic at the
proposed location on the garage.
